FYI  Money-saving Information

You wouldn't wait until 50,000 miles for your first oil change would you? Your home’s heating and air conditioning systems need regular maintenance to avoid costly emergency repairs.
  • Some air conditioning and heating problems can DOUBLE operating costs without reducing comfort.
  • Up to 80% of all air conditioning and heat pump compressor failures could be eliminated if the problems that lead to the failure were corrected in a timely manner.
  • “Freon” (refrigerant) should never need to be replaced. If it must be added at any time, there is an expensive leak that should be repaired.
  • A dirty evaporator or condenser and blower will increase air conditioning or heat pump electrical usage by 50% or more.
  • Just a 100th of an inch of dirt of film on an evaporator coil can reduce its efficiency by 5%.
  • Small problems unaddressed can lead to very expensive repairs.
  • A ”freon” (refrigerant) undercharge of only 10% can increase operating costs by almost 20%.
  • Depending on the current condition of your equipment, this service may pay for itself several times over in energy savings alone.
  • Annual safety checks can eliminate dangerous problems.
According to studies conducted by the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service and Gulf States Utility Company, you can SAVE up to $30 a month on your utility bill by making sure that your air conditioning system is cleaned and serviced regularly.

The study concluded that proper air conditioning maintenance can:
  • increase comfort
  • lower operating costs
  • increase system capacity
  • ensure longer equipment life
