- Validate Home Warranty – Your home warranty protects you from unexpected issues. Many warranties require yearly service of major home systems such as HVAC to remain valid. Failing to get an AC tune up could leave you at risk for other expenses down the road.
- Keep AC Healthy – Just a doctor’s check-up can help you maintain your health, annual maintenance of your air conditioner help you avoid more serious issues in the future.
- Maintain Efficiency – Energy efficiency is an important topic for many homeowners. The more efficient your appliances, the less you will spend on monthly energy bills. Yearly tune-ups keep your AC running at top performance and can help reduce utility expenses.
- Save the Planet – Having the air conditioning in your home properly maintain can have important benefits for the environment. Excess energy usage caused by an inefficient AC unit uses precious natural resources.
- Consistent Home Cooling – Equal cooling throughout your entire home is highly desirable. An AC unit with issues can fail to maintain a cooling balance throughout your home, leaving upper levels significantly warmer than lower spaces. An air conditioning professional can help ensure that the temperature remains constant in even the warmest summer conditions.
- Improve Air Quality – Clean air is something we often take for granted. We need air to survive, and we assume that it is safe. A poorly maintained AC unit could actually be harmful for your health spewing pollution and harmful toxins throughout your home.
When a spotted skunk found its way into our heating ducts, the worst happened: he was electrocuted on the furnace heating coils and the odors of burnt animal fur and skunk smell were efficiently distributed throughout our 2500 square foot home via our central heating system. It was terrible! The odor was so strong you could smell it outside the house. My husband and I and our two teenage sons all experienced nausea and headaches.
Your service technician was our hero. He crawled under the house, disassembled the heater, and removed the skunk. He then recommended we install an Air Scrubber Plus into our ventilation systems. I was skeptical that a small box installed into our ducting would solve the odor problems. Our clothes, our bedding, the furniture - everything smelled like skunk! Desperate for a solution, I scheduled the installation.
The change was nothing short of remarkable. After 24 hours the smell had dramatically dissipated. Perhaps my burnt sinuses could no longer identify anything at all? A friend stopped by and said it was noticeably improved. Three days after the installation my sons had friends over to the house and, even when given the whole story of what happened, no one could smell anything!
I didn't have to launder all our clothing and linens. Draperies didn't need to come down, furniture didn't need to be cleaned. Our coats hang on wall pegs over an air vent and all the linings had smelled especially bad. They're now perfectly fine and I did nothing but let them continue to hang on the pegs. In an upstairs bathroom I noticed clumps of hair in the air vent. I pulled a ball of skunk hair out but there was no odor.
The recommended product works. The Air in our home is now fresh and clean."
Thank you!
