Dealer won’t return my calls

Before you select a contractor, it might be worth asking whether any other contractors will honor his warranty in the unlikely event that he can’t do the work, however last year, I had a heating as well as air conditioning contractor install a new a/c in my home.

One month later, the a/c stopped working.

I had a warranty on the contractor’s labor, so I called him to request his services. For more than 2 days I called him, however he never returned my calls. After doing an internet search, I found some rather negative comments about his work on review websites. I finally found out that he had gone out of business, so it looked like I might be spending the summer time without air conditioning. I decided to contact the manufacturer of the a/c to see if there was anything they might be able to do. The manager commanded that I call more than 2 Heating plus A/C companies – those with great reputations – to inquire about servicemans who could repair my a/c. Thankfully, there was an air conditioning specialist who was kind enough to come plus fix the system, charging me only for parts. As I paid him, he indicated that the original Heating plus A/C guy was well-known for his terrible company practices. Lesson learned the hard way, I thought to myself. I now tell anyone who is looking for a heating or cooling serviceman to be sure to get references before selecting one. I listened naively to the claims that were made by the contractor himself, including the fact that he had installed hundreds of a/cs. The only great that came out of this experience is that I won’t be fooled again.

Forgetting the ‘V’ in Heating and A/C

When it comes to the acronym ‘Heating plus A/C’, all the people refer only to the ‘H’ (heating) plus the ‘air conditioner’ (air conditioning), and but the ‘V’ (ventilation) is important too – especially with new homes, which are built tighter than ever, then energy codes require higher levels of air sealing plus blower door tests to verify air tightness, but and narrow homes need mechanical ventilation, especially in bathrooms… Imagine stepping out of a nice hot shower, wiping the mirror with your towel in order to see yourself, however of course the hot steam produced the foggy mirror, however where does the excess moisture go? Without respected ventilation, it goes behind the walls, the tiles, plus the floor, all of which can lead to mold plus mildew. Any Heating plus A/C serviceman worth his weight in salt understands the importance of respected ventilation fans that protect against the harmful effects of the mold plus mildew… They understand that a fan does more than just detach steam; Proper ventilation needs to be powerful enough to detach all of the steam. And if a bathroom is not situated on an outside wall, an Heating plus A/C contractor can entirely run air duct to detach the moisture… Finally, an Heating plus A/C serviceman should offer a brief explanation of how long to run the bathroom fan in order to respectfully ventilate bathrooms, then most people leave the fan on only while they’re still in the bathroom. But the best practice is to leave the fan on for up to an hour in order to respectfully ventilate the room. A ventilation expert should emphasize that by venting out the excess moisture, you are absolutely contributing to your family’s health. And if you can’t lay the noise that the bathroom ventilator fan makes, for a few extra dollars, you can have a quiet bathroom ceiling fan installed.

Contractor won’t pass on my calls

Before you select a company, it might be worth asking whether any other companys will honor her warranty in the unlikely event that she can’t do the work, then last year, I had a heating & air conditioner company install a current air conditioner in my home.

One month later, the air conditioner stopped working.

I had a warranty on the company’s labor, so I called him to request her services. For several afternoons I called him, despite the fact that she never returned my calls. After doing an internet search, I found some rather downside comments about her toil on review websites. I finally found out that she had gone out of business, so it looked like I might be spending the Summer without air conditioner. I decided to contact the manufacturer of the air conditioner to see if there was anything they might be able to do. The manager suggested that I call several Heating & Air Conditioning companies – those with fine reputations – to inquire about specialists who could maintenance my air conditioner. Thankfully, there was an air conditioner specialist who was kind enough to come & maintenance the system, charging me only for parts. As I paid him, she indicated that the original Heating & Air Conditioning woman was well-known for her poor company practices. Lesson learned the taxing way, I thought to myself. I now tell anyone who is looking for a heating or cooling specialist to be sure to get references before selecting one. I listened naively to the claims that were made by the company himself, including the fact that she had installed hundreds of air conditioners. The only fine that came out of this experience is that I won’t be fooled again.

Forgetting the ‘V’ in the sign

When it comes to the acronym ‘Heating & Air Conditioning’, most people refer only to the ‘H’ (heating) & the ‘a/c’ (air conditioner)! But the ‘V’ (ventilation) is important too – especially with current homes, which are built tighter than ever, however energy codes require higher levels of air sealing & blower door tests to verify air tightness, however and narrow homes need mechanical ventilation, especially in powder rooms; Imagine stepping out of a nice tepid shower, wiping the mirror with your towel in order to see yourself, and of course the tepid steam produced the foggy mirror, but where does the excess moisture go? Without typical ventilation, it goes behind the walls, the tiles, & the floor, all of which can lead to mold & mildew.

Any Heating & Air Conditioning specialist worth her weight in salt understands the importance of typical ventilation fans that protect against the harmful effects of the mold & mildew, and they understand that a fan does more than just dislink steam… Proper ventilation needs to be powerful enough to dislink all of the steam.

And if a powder room is not situated on an outside wall, an Heating & Air Conditioning company can unquestionably run ductwork to dislink the moisture. Finally, an Heating & Air Conditioning specialist should offer a brief explanation of how long to run the powder room fan in order to always ventilate powder rooms, and most people leave the fan on only while they’re still in the powder room. But the best practice is to leave the fan on for up to an hour in order to always ventilate the room. A ventilation expert should emphasize that by venting out the excess moisture, you are actually contributing to your family’s health. And if you can’t kneel the noise that the powder room ventilator fan makes, for a few extra dollars, you can have a quiet powder room ceiling fan installed.
