Podcast Episode Transcription:
I love this song the dates you yes but it's appropriate it is very appropriate the heat is on and I always say that heat is gone you know and you know the game is on too because it's that time of year we aren't going to get out of this alive what we are but we're not going to get out of this without hitting 90s in 100 degree weather this summer and it's brutally hot here in Austin yeah and the other thing is our utility costs are going up so at the same time that the costs are going up if your commissioner is working less efficient I mean you could end up spending thirty 4050% more on your energy bills this coming summer than you did last summer just because all these different factors that are kind of hitting oh nothing's the same anymore everything costs more money everything yeah you can't buy a gallon of milk or a gallon of every whatever you buy it's more so but those energy costs have gone way up while we haven't gone up $49 that's still that's a good that's a great price that's great we went down yeah that's a great price because we find that people do they really do need us and sometimes they just need a little encouragement so we can go out there and look at it and see what they need and make sure that everything is performing like it should be I'm going to give out your number Tom he is answering the phones today so say hi to Pete when you call everybody the number 512-525-8438 why are you calling you're calling to get some Peace of Mind they call it the Peace of Mind air conditioning inspection special for only $49 Tom and his team will come out and take a thorough look at your air conditioning system or systems and what's going on in your attic given overall review of what's happening it's only $49 this is the time of year to get this done because you don't want to wait until June July August on Sunday at 1:00 PM what happens then pop oh misery honey it's hot in here I don't hear that fan outside anymore what happened capacitor maybe or worse yeah it could be anything that's the thing hopefully it's not a compressor or something you know a lot of times it's not it's usually like like you're saying a capacitor fan motor went out either upstairs in in the attic space you know the blower motor or the outside fan something's gone wrong with that sometimes it's a contactor I mean sometimes it can just be the littlest things I had a customer we did last year we know what did this the inspection and I'm like that your contactor is just about shot I think we should go ahead and replace that today it's pretty to go at any time alright well it's still work I think we'll hold off Oh my he calls me like on a Saturday afternoon about 3-4 in the afternoon two or three weeks later unit is not coming on at all it's like it's probably the contactor go back out sure enough it's the contact her now he's gotta pay you know another service call it just cost him more money we could have just took care of we were there plus I couldn't get till till Monday so it's like that's why we do this up front let's look at it and see what you need because we're not going to go out there and say oh you need this this and this if you don't need it and we could even show you why it's about ready to go you can just tell like you can even look at like capacitor stuff you'll talk to even kind of blew out they start to swell up and they're like OK it's about over for this we probably go ahead and replace that you're going to have to replace it now or in six weeks from now in the six weeks from now might be a Sunday afternoon might maybe you have a party of people over and now your Commission is not running so that's why we do this let's look at it up front but main thing let's just make sure it's tuned up just like a car you make sure everything's running right make sure you have air in the tires make sure everything is good it's but people can look at their car and see all that stuff but erasure they don't they don't know what's going on you can't tell which freon is in it by looking at the outside of the unit to put gauges on it look at it let's look at it and go from there (512) 525-8438 is the number to get a hold of Tom and his team at Garattic (512) 525-8438 we started off with eight of these $49 piece of mind air conditioning inspection specials we're down to five these go quickly and the reason why they go quickly is a lot of my listeners are smart people and like 49 bucks I'm going to get this done now because what ends up happening is you're going to be set for the season and it guarantees that so if they're going to go through all these steps to get it done and you won't have to worry about it this summer you have to worry about things breaking down because you said you can usually see what what's coming just like anything you can normally see it coming if you're just kind of pay attention to what you're looking at especially if you have an expert looking at it they can tell you this well just like you're saying your taxes you know you like you know you need to be saving for that or they need to be being paid up it's not a big surprise on April 15th comes around it comes around every year just like the summer it comes around every year and it gets hot every year it's just as hot or hotter than the last year and then if your unit every year it's a little bit older a little bit older it's getting a little bit more a little weaker you know you might have a system that's B 1516 years old and you're like you know what I'm tired of putting money in this thing every summer I put three or four items in it it's like I just want to replace it with a new system and we may say you know what that system was only a 12 or 13 seer system why don't we put a high efficiency system in and that system will actually end up paying for itself overtime because it is so much more efficient so maybe if you have a 12 seer system and you put a a 24 seer system and just saying for round numbers that's that system costs half as much to run as the 12th series so that's what that clear rating means the lower the higher this year the more efficient the unit is so if somebody tells you I got to you know an old system it's 25 years old it's still running that thing is eating them out of house and home to run it they're not really doing themselves any favors you'd be better off with a newer system that has a higher seer rating which is going to make it much more efficient maybe a multi speed system all kinds of different things that are available multi zones we can you know we do maybe a mini split and there's all kinds of different options so give us a call we'll come out look see what you have and if you do decide you know what I just want to get a whole new system we'll just take the $49 and apply it towards the new system so it really is going to cost you anything to do it anyways exactly the people who know they have a problem Tom and I kind of alluded to this earlier know they have a problem right it's that whole thermostat thing like I was saying if you try to get it down to 7 to two or even more aggressive you want to sleep in 68 or 67 at night by the way if you having trouble sleeping cool off your room so let's say they start toggling down and they go and they're like 67 sounds cool 9:00 o'clock at night it says 73 they can't get past 73 right even worse when the sun is out but they still have the problem at night because the system has an issue could be low on freon that's often a big one right there could be a number of things wrong with it and if you don't have enough refrigerant in there anymore you won't get it down to where you want it to guarantee you that if you lose so much freon you'll have to have it charged again that's right yes that's not going to extract the heat out of the air like it should or the coils are real dirty there's a lot of things that could be that's why we just start with the $49 special and go from there alright call now to get this deal only $49 for your Peace of Mind air conditioning inspection special from Garattic call now 512-525-8438 again the number 512-525-8438 I'll be repeating the number when we come back after the break so don't go anywhere we'll be right back right after this right here on the check a pro radio show stand by.
