Richard: In this episode, we’ll discuss the importance of air conditioning system rejuvenation, particularly in the fall. We’ll explore how regular maintenance can significantly enhance the system efficiency by cleaning accumulated dirt and debris from the coils, ensuring smooth air flow and preventing energy waste.
Jeff D: Uh, this fall season is the perfect time to be able to get your air conditioning, uh, maintenance checked out and looked at, especially after the hot summer that it’s had. And then you had all the storms that we had here in Houston. Power outages. Your system really took a beating this year.
Richard: More than a beating.
Jeff D: Yeah, absolutely it did. Uh, your system definitely worked overtime this year, so this would be the perfect time to be able to get it inspected, clean and get it prepared and get it ready for the fall season coming up. That way it’ll be able to help you make sure that you’ll have any breakdowns or any ’cause breakdowns never happen at the right time, right, Richard?
Richard: No. Friday night, 10:00 PM
Jeff D: Are, are you gonna have family coming over getting ready for Christmas time or Thanksgiving’s coming up around the corner, right? You don’t want your AC being down when your family’s on the way. So that’s the perfect time to be able to start getting your maintenance checked out and your system saying, Hey, like, like a doctor would for an inspection and checkup Right? What’s going on with your air conditioning system so that way it can prolong and make it sure that it has a better life for you and your air conditioning system.
Richard: I got a question for you.
Jeff D: Sure.
Richard: Do you change the oil in your car?
Jeff D: Absolutely.
Richard: Why would you do that?
Jeff D: Because you want to make sure that it doesn’t blow a rod.
Richard: Why do you wanna do that?
Jeff D: Because you don’t want your car to mess up. I don’t wanna be broke down on the side of the road.
Richard: Okay. Well you, you know, air conditioning?
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: People don’t maintenance it?
Jeff D: All the time. You know why? Because it’s outta sight and outta mind.
Richard: Well, my engine to my car is too.
Jeff D: Well, but you drive your car every single day. You know what? ’cause you’re actually physically in it. And with you’re air conditioning, you take it for granted because you just go to a thermostat or to an app on your phone and you just turn it on and it’s just supposed to come on and work magically. Right? Cold air comes out of the vent. You’re great.
Richard: Oh, interesting. So I gotta change the oil in my car.
Jeff D: You gotta change the oil in your car. Oh, you gotta change the air filter in your car too.
Richard: I do?
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: What? So I get clean air?
Jeff D: You get clean air!
Richard: No way.
Jeff D: Oh, absolutely. Yes sir. And it also helps that your air conditioner inside your car also works good. Just like how it works great for your house. Do you know if you don’t change your filter in your air of the home that it causes a restriction in it and it’ll cause your compressor to overheat, uh, freeze up your system and also cause drain issues?
Richard: Hmm. Does that happen over time or is that happening quickly?
Jeff D: Um, it just roughly depends on how, how, how old your system is, depending on when you’re actually gonna be able to start seeing breakdowns by just simply not replacing your filter when you need to.
Richard: So if I don’t replace my filter in my car, is it gonna do the same thing?
Jeff D: Oh, absolutely, it will, yeah.
Richard: Well, as a matter of fact, I just changed it in my car, so I’m good.
Jeff D: Oh, well, perfect.
Richard: Yeah. You know, I take my vehicle in for regular maintenance. That is something that’s very important to me. And air conditioning should be extremely important to you guys as well.
Jeff D: Absolutely.
Richard: You know, it, it maintenance is the cheapest form of ensuring that your system has the longevity of what you paid for, right?
Jeff D: That is Right.
Richard: So my point to the story that I was asking, Jeff, if you don’t change the oil in your vehicle right, what’s gonna happen? You’re, you’re not gonna get the life out of your engine. I can promise you that.
Jeff D: Well, air conditioning is absolutely no different. When your system is running, it’s pulling in dirt on the outside, right? And it stops up in the fins on the outside of your system. Well, airflow can’t get through. When that restriction starts to happen, then your motor has to work harder. Your air conditioning system has motors. Right?
Jeff D: Right, exactly.
Richard: And it creates them to work harder. And so the harder that motor works, A: it’s gonna cost you more per month to run it. And B:…
Jeff D: Energy costs are through the roof…
Richard: Energy costs. That’s exactly right. So you’re paying more per month, whether you know it or not, right? Then the second thing it’s gonna do, it’s gonna shorten the life of a system, and they’re not getting any cheaper. Air conditioning systems are only going up, and today is the most affordable they’re ever gonna be. Tomorrow is a different story.
Jeff D: That’s right. With the process of being able to keep your system up and running in the way that it’s supposed to be when you get a whole home, uh, system rejuvenation, it’s basically almost putting it at like new so that way that your system knows that it’s running as best as it possibly can from the day that you actually purchased it.
Richard: That’s right.
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: And when we get done doing the rejuvenation, we’re gonna take readings on that motor, see what amps it’s pulling. It’s supposed to be within a range of certain amps, right? And we’ll do a before and then we do an after and if after we’re still having an amp problem, that means you’ve let it go too far.
Jeff D: Right, Exactly.
Richard: And that means at some point your motor’s gonna blow up and there’s nothing that we can do to prevent that. But if you stay on top of maintenance and you rejuvenate your system, you keep the items clean, your motor will continue working for as long as your car motor.
Jeff D: That, that is, that’s right, Richard. And you know, one of the things they’re probably, the audience is probably asking right now, what is system rejuvenation and what does it do?
You know, I’m gonna tell you what it’s gonna do. What we do is we clean your condenser, uh, we chemical clean it. We make sure that we, uh, we are, we’re gonna take the fins off, we’re gonna water wash it, we’re gonna then chemical clean it. We’re gonna get all the dirt and debris outta that condenser, so that way it helps it breathe better.
Then what are we gonna do after that? We’re also gonna go up into the, uh, into your attic. We’re gonna get to your evaporator coil. We’re also gonna chemical clean your evaporator coil, get all that because what, it’s a dark, cold, wet spot, right? So that’s where perfect for mold or bacteria to be able to just build up in there. So we’re gonna clean those coils, get those cleaned and get that ready for you. So then not only is it not breathing better at your air conditioning, at your condenser outside, it’s also breathing better in your coil inside.
So what does that mean? Better energy costs, better air flow going through through your home. Breathing better air that’s clean that’s going through your home. That’s a cool thing. Right?
Richard:
And going through your lungs.
Jeff D: Exactly. Exactly. And uh, along with that, we’re also making sure that your, uh, drain lines are clear too, and that we’re gonna be, we’re gonna water test those. We’re also gonna be putting some algae tabs down there to be able to help prevent you from having any stop-ups going on towards the uh, future.
Because right at as it is now, you know how it is here in Houston, right? One in the morning time it’s cold and in the afternoon. So you’re flip-flopping your air conditioning one morning you have your heat on the next minute you have your AC on for the afternoon time. And that’s the perfect time to start having drain issues, because your AC is flip-flopping back and forth.
Richard: During the summers that we typically have. And let’s just say it’s 95 degrees. How many times do you think that air conditioning goes off on and off? I mean, during the day?
Jeff D: Well, that, well that’s a good question…
Richard: For a 24-hour system, right? How many, how many times?
Jeff D: Well, it just roughly depends on what type of system you have, right? If it’s a single stage system and you want your temperature at like a 70 degree or a 72 degree, it’s probably cycling on and off. Probably at least probably over, I don’t know, probably about 60 to 70 times a uh, a day for you. It just roughly depends on what you want your temperature at.
Richard: Well, I can tell you this: if you guys went with our Smart Maintenance Program as well, it will tell you that.
Jeff D: Oh, absolutely it will.
Richard: It’ll tell you exactly how many cycles you’re having per day.
Jeff D: It definitely does. And that’s one of the cool features about Smart Monitoring, ’cause it’s gonna put a sensor in your supply, it’s gonna put a sensor in your return. So that’s gonna be able to operate to be able to see how many times your air conditioning cycling on and off for you.
And that is a great feature to be able to have because that helps to be able to know if you’re having any issues. It’s kinda almost kinda like the doctor putting a little stethescope on your, on your heart and listening to your heart. The exact same thing those sensors are doing for you.
Richard: Yeah, that’s exactly right.
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: Well, what else are you gonna get on this rejuvenation?
Jeff D: Um, along with this uh, system, we’re also gonna inspect the, uh, your capacitor, your contacts. We’re gonna see, because those are the one of the two of the most break breakdown, um, items that we usually have.
Richard: Call it prone.
Jeff D: Yeah. Breakdown prone. Yeah, they’re prone, right? Um, just like how you would’ve to replace your battery in your car or battery in your watch or anything else, or they die out. Those are one of the things every time that AC kicks on and turns on it, it decreases the efficiency of those every single time. So these are one of the things that we check out and we make sure that hey, are they in optimal, uh, condition and if one of them needs to be replaced, we’ll end up replacing it along with that system rejuvenation.
Richard: Mm-hmm. So at the end of the day, what is this gonna cost me as a homeowner?
Jeff D: What is this gonna cost you? It’s a good question that you asked that because if it, if you’re to do it like a la carte and you’re gonna pay for each thing at one at a time, then roughly that cost is around about $1,100 for you to be able to get all that done.
But not now. ’cause we’re doing a systems rejuvenation, uh, uh, special at this moment. And right now you can get it all done for only $699.
Richard: Mm-hmm . We bundled it.
Jeff D: We bundled it, we bundled it and put it all together.
Richard: That’s exactly right.
Jeff D: That way, uh, that way it just is, for one, customers got…you need it, you gotta have it to be able to make sure that your air conditioning is gonna be able to get it done. And we know that how the economy is going and how things are going. So the best thing that we could do is why don’t we put something that you know that you’re gonna need for your air conditioning system, bundle it all together and put it at a savings that’s gonna be great for you and to be able to prolong the life of your air conditioning system. That’s, that’s a no-brainer, Richard.
Richard: I totally agree. And, and, and I’m gonna give something that where people can understand on, like a capacitor, right?
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: We’re not using the cheap capacitors. When we replace the capacitor, these capacitors have a five-year warranty.
Jeff D: Absolutely. Yeah.
Richard: So we’re not using the stuff that everybody else is using. We’re giving you the best product out there.
Jeff D: Yeah. It’s not that factory government-grade type of capacitor that they just throw in there when they’re building the system. No, we give you a good one.
Richard: And I love to hear it when we have clients say “oh, I found it on Amazon for five bucks”, well great…
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: That isn’t gonna last. We’re gonna put the one that’s made in the United States. It is a five-year warranty on that capacitor that…
Jeff D: That’s right.
Richard: …if it goes out, they will give us a free one.
Jeff D: Right, and if it goes out and you bought it off of Amazon, let me tell you this. Amazon’s not coming out there to be able to install it for you.
Richard: No.
Jeff D: Nope. That’s us.
Richard: Yeah.
Jeff D: The professionals.
Richard: That’s exactly right.
Richard: Right? We’ll come out there, we have ’em on our trucks. So if something happens to it, guess what? We’re coming out there. We’re gonna check it out. We’re gonna look at it, and if that’s what the issue is, we’re gonna get it replaced for you. And it, it’ll be covered underneath the warranty, can’t beat that.
Richard: That’s right.
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: So when we get done with this rejuvenation, what you should see is a reduced and a lower amount in your electrical bills, right?
Jeff D: Right.
Richard: You’re gonna gonna get a longer life out of your air conditioning system. And again, they’re not getting any cheaper when you have to replace ’em.
Jeff D: No, absolutely not. Yeah. Correct. Like, it’s not going to end it’s gonna get worse.
Richard: It’s gonna get worse. That’s exactly right.
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: That’s exactly right. And you’re gonna get, uh, longevity outta your motor, right?
Jeff D: Right. And the compressor.
Richard: That’s right.
Jeff D: Right? Less wear and tear that’s gonna be done on the, on your unit. Less stress.
Richard: That’s right.
Jeff D: Yeah.
Richard: Exactly. Well, anything else to add? What did we forget? We’re gonna forget something.
Jeff D: I don’t think we forgot anything. I think we kind of covered it all.
Richard: If you guys have any questions, call us. You can talk to Jeff, talk to myself. If you’re interested, we will sign you up today and most of the time we can get you same day next day.
Jeff D: Absolutely. Yeah. 99% of the time we can get you the same day. We’re here to be able to service our customers here in Houston. We wanna make sure we get to ’em on a timely manner.
Richard: That’s right. Thank you guys for listening. We’ll see you next time.
