An Ounce Of Inspection Is Worth A Pound Of Repair!


     It’s that time of year again…when homeowners inflict upon themselves the
scam of the year. Because they fail to get their air conditioning systems tuned up in the spring, some homeowners here in the Hampton Roads area will suffer needlessly in hot, miserable, uncomfortable homes because their air conditioners finally failed. Worst of all is the fact that these woes are not only self inflicted, but could have been painlessly avoided.

     Merry ShermanEqually upsetting is the fact that the hundreds of dollars homeowners will spend for unnecessary repairs…even the replacement of entire units sooner than necessary…could have been avoided.

     Modern air conditioners are surprisingly very forgiving mechanical systems. Unlike automobiles however, they don’t have a dashboard full of “idiot lights” to remind you that all things mechanical must be serviced and maintained…and as a consequence, by the time you do notice a problem (like insufficient cooling), it’s likely to be expensive.

     Contractors, manufacturers, utilities, the EPA, Consumer Reports®, and other consumer publications all recommend air conditioning tune-ups. Why? It boils down to this: You can skip annual cleanups and probably get away with it for awhile, but there is a price to pay.
   
  Check these additional money saving reasons for annual “tune-ups/clean-ups:
     
  FACT:

The Number 1 cause of system failure is dirt!
(9 out of 10 system failures are caused by dirt and dust).
(LCES) Louisiana Cooperative Extension Services

     
  FACT:

A buildup of .042 inches of dirt on a heating or cooling coil can result in a decrease in efficiency of 21%.
(EPA) Environmental Protection Agency

     
  FACT:

Over 50% of all illnesses are related to unhealthy air.
(American College of Allergists)

     
  FACT: Your home (or office's) indoor air can be up to 12 times more polluted than outdoor air. (EPA) Environmental Protection Agency
     
  FACT:

Clean systems restore capacity.
Translation: Savings on monthly heating/cooling bills.

     
  FACT: Creates a More Comfortable Environment in Your Home.
     
  FACT: Keeps Small Problems From Becoming Big Ones.
     
  FACT: Prevents Costly Breakdowns.
     
  FACT: Extended equipment life = Fewer Repairs.
     
  FACT: Insures Safe Operation.
     
  FACT: Avoids Frustration (A more dependable system).
     
  FACT: Saves You Money. Seasonal Discount of up to 40% for early placement of order.
     
  FACT: Saves More Money (Additional $5.00 discount by ordering on-line).
     
  FACT: Saves Even More Money (a more efficient system costs less to operate). An un-tuned system can steal up to 22% of your energy dollars in totally wasted efficiency.
     
  FACT: A new system can cost you a pretty penny. Our 40 point tune-up and cleaning (one of the most comprehensive in the industry) is less than $100 (with discounts).
     
  FACT: Convenience. Make appointment at time suitable for you.
     
  FACT: Bonus Eligibility. At time of “tune-up”, selected systems can be upgraded to a service agreement policy for only a few dollars more.

     For PURELY SELFISH REASONS, and for a strictly limited time (now through May 15th), Climatemakers offers a substantial seasonal discount to prepare your air conditioner for the coming summer season.

     We hate to give away so much money, but to date, we haven't been able to devise any other way to persuade people not to wait for the 1st hot day of summer to call…and we need the time to properly prepare the cooling systems for our hundreds of customers before the summer sets in for earnest.

     This makes for both of us a "win-win" situation. We win by getting you to order early (and can do more jobs)...you win, if you order early, by getting a $150 value for a lot less money (and you can save even more if you order on line) as you join hundreds of others who every summer, make Climatemakers their “contractor of choice”.

     Need proof that we offer the area's most comprehensive “tune-up” service available (40 points!)? Want us to put our money where our mouth is? See for yourself!...not only the name of each of the 40 points in writing BUT the effect each point has on the performance of your system (and why you should not settle for less) by going to our website. Click here. We believe we are safe in saying, that no other local contractor can match that list!

     Order NOW! But remember, you must order by 03/30/07, to get the full 40% discount PLUS another $5 if you order it on line! On line reservations can be made by clicking here. Reservations can also be made by phone. Call: HOT-COLD (468-2653).

     The cost of the "check-up/tune-up" is a small price to pay for superior equipment performance that result in lower energy bills and extended life performance. Why not do it right now? Cool $mart this year by using the “tried and true” 40 point check-up as protection against soaring energy costs. Click here.

     Remember, THE MAJOR CAUSE OF EQUIPMENT FAILURE IS INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE.
