"Comfort is our specialty...Quality is our method...Satisfying you is our goal".
Before You Invest…(Part 1) |
| |
 It’s the middle of January and already the catalogs promoting Spring & Summer activities have begun to arrive…”How To Have a Perfect Garden”…”What To Wear”…”Where To Travel” etc…and while I too am having visions of summer, I know that in all probability, the worst of winter is yet to come…and with it, the stark reality that some heating systems will fail and some, beyond repair, will have to be replaced…an unexpected financial outlay that you could have well done without.
I also realize that as a rule, furnaces do not fail in the summer (nor air conditioners in the winter) and that under the stress of inconvenience and discomfort, it is easy to make a bad matter worse by making poor choices. So our first word of caution is that if you find yourself in this unhappy position, don’t panic. Because a heating and air conditioning system is the most expensive appliance in your home. Treat it like an investment because that’s what it is!
Secondly, it is possible that someone has unintentionally (or otherwise) made a faulty diagnosis. That’s why we offer a FREE 2nd Opinion. It works like this:
When the heating contractor you called to repair your HVAC system says that a major component has to be replaced (or even that a new system must be installed), call us and we’ll give you a 2nd opinion absolutely FREE!
Even if their diagnosis is correct, isn’t it better to have two estimates and recommendations, than one? You will certainly have less chance of regretting the equipment/service that you end up choosing. After all, our opinion is FREE! Click here to follow the simple procedure.
And here’s another bonus reason for calling us for that FREE 2nd opinion. If, the original diagnosis proves to be correct…if you do have a major problem that requires you to be without heat overnight…we, unlike many companies, are able to supply you with temporary heat until we can fix the problem because…
…we want you to be able to take your time and make the right choice. We know that getting estimates for HVAC repair or installation can be confusing…because the variables that affect the pricing create a wide range of estimates. We repeat: “a heating and air conditioning system is the most expensive appliance in your home. Treat it like an investment, because that’s what it is!”
If a quality heating and air conditioning system could be just wheeled into your home like a TV or refrigerator and plugged in, shopping by brand or price would be a great strategy. But there's a lot more to installing a quality heating and air conditioning system than just “plugging it in”.
Part II of this series will introduce you to some of the “shopping basics” that go beyond (1) what brand? (2) what size? (3) how much?...things that will help you understand (and how to make sense of) the wide range of variables you may encounter with HVAC companies in the Tidewater area.
I am sure you’ve heard the old bromide about “making lemonade from lemons”. An old, inefficient furnace that has to be replaced could be a unique opportunity. Don’t waste it.
