One simple truth is this: “the heating or cooling system that you depend on to keep you comfortable from weather extremes, does not fail in the “off” season…when it is not being used”.
 Hundreds of our customers realize this and each year, before the heating or cooling season begins, have their systems cleaned and inspected to avoid unexpected failure. However, despite our many advisories, there are still those who for whatever reason, believe that they can get by “one more year”, with the result that the heating or cooling system suddenly fails…leaving them not only with a period of inconvenience and discomfort but the prospect of a major expense.
That’s when, in their desperation to have their comfort conditions restored, they make unwise decisions…decisions that will eventually cost far more than the actual cost of replacement …as the penalties from rushed decisions, will last the life of the new system.
Like many other appliances, the cost of your indoor comfort system includes more than just the initial price. It also includes the ongoing costs of operation and maintenance. This means that the cooling and heating equipment and controls that you select today will continue to impact your finances for as long as you live in your home. The old adage that “haste makes waste” was never truer.
We’ve said many times before, buying a HVAC is not like buying a loaf of bread or some other relatively inexpensive “shelf item”…that if you are dissatisfied with it, you can toss it out and replace it. When you commit for a new HVAC system, there are several important things that need serious consideration and it takes time & skill to make an accurate assessment.
To properly assess a replacement air conditioner, for example, can take the best part of a day when done correctly…measure the job to be sure the new unit will fit properly and do the best job…to perform a load calculation and check the duct sizes…to be sure the customer will get the comfort and efficiency they deserve.
By the time you’ve gotten the needed information and made your proposal, then secured the customer’s approval, it’s late in the day…and you must still get the equipment and schedule the installation (after all, a company does not just sit around waiting for your system to breakdown).
Even under the best of circumstances, it sometimes requires the best part of two days to make the replacement, especially since the new Federal regulation that relates to high efficiency equipment went into effect this year sometimes requiring to change out the entire system and not just the unit.
So what can we do to ease the stress? One thing. Climatemakers keeps about 6 window air conditioners and about the same number of portable electric heaters for just such occasions. Once we have the “go ahead” to make the replacement, we can install several of these portable units to provide immediate comfort to our customers while they wait for the new installation.
When one of our customers expressed her gratitude to the salesperson by saying that in her eyes “he was a hero”, he appropriately replied “aw shucks mam, it’s just part of what you can expect from a company like Climatemakers”.
