“I compared my receipts from a year ago and my electric bill is 300 kilowatt hours less, and at a 79 degree setting! In just one month I have saved 300 hours which is amazing!”
Residential Client: Irene Hujsa
When Irene Hujsa moved to her house almost 3 years ago, she noticed that the kitchen always felt unusually warm. She called a local air conditioning service and after several visits, they were unable to resolve the issue. Instead, they provided excuses that she was cooking too much, or that the extra heat was coming from the refrigerator. This went on for several months and Mrs. Hujsa became very frustrated. The electric fan was running constantly, but the room was hot because cool air was not coming in. Furthermore, the AC unit’s Freon was constantly leaking, so the service company needed to refill it every few months.
Finally, after much frustration, Mrs. Hujsa and her husband asked for a second opinion. Tim from Conditioned Air came at 6:30 pm in the evening and was the first technician to inspect the attic. He noticed immediately that the duct work in the attic was not laid out according to the structural drawings. Apparently, the duct work was the wrong size for a kitchen, which explained why it never cooled properly.
In addition, Conditioned Air became concerned that Chinese drywall might have been exacerbating AC problems that resulted in the regular breakdown of the evaporator coil.
After several discussions with the general contractor and Conditioned Air, the builder realized that something was wrong with the structure and duct-work–and that substantial reconstruction would be necessary. Based on their confidence in Conditioned Air’s expertise, Mr. Hujsa insisted that they take over the rebuilding of the entire AC system.
Mrs. Hujsa has since moved back into her house after Conditioned Air’s improvements and can now stand underneath the air conditioning supply and feel cool air coming out. She was very pleased that Conditioned Air even explained everything they were doing, step by step.
She enthusiastically states,
“All of the Conditioned Air employees were so professional throughout the entire process and not one of them made me feel like they were in a hurry to go home. I was having so many issues before, and now that I have signed up for a maintenance agreement with Conditioned Air I am so much happier. Not only have they identified the issues I was having, they resolved them in a courteous and efficient manner.”
Additionally, Mrs. Hujsa no longer has Freon leakage issues. Conditioned Air checked the evaporator coil and found that it was causing underlying Freon issue. Mrs. Hujsa was so relieved that she no longer had to call a service company to constantly recharge her Freon. She declares,
“I am so happy with Conditioned Air and their professionalism. It is frustrating when service people come to your house and they have a blank face because you know they don’t know what they are doing. It’s so comforting that everyone at Conditioned Air knows what they are doing and has the appropriate recommendations. In fact, my son recently bought a house and the sale was contingent on using Conditioned Air as the contractor. My experience with them has been pleasant all around. “
Recently the Hujsa’s were interested in upgrading their AC system from a 14 to an 18 SEER efficiency rating. Another company wanted to charge $3,000 but when they inquired with Conditioned Air, they sent a quote that was 66% lower. Mrs. Hujsa was grateful that they notified her about rebates available due to increasing their efficiency rating.
She asserts,
“I feel like the other company was going to pocket the money but Conditioned Air passed the savings along to the customer which I respect immensely. The bottom line is that Conditioned Air is truly an honest, professional and knowledgeable company. They have come at midnight, or on weekends and everyone still has a smile on their face. Ever since we moved back in, my Air Conditioning has been consistently set at 79 and I am completely and adequately cooled. We haven’t had to use our electric fans once! It is still summer here and my home is cool at 79, I’m in shock!
It makes such a difference when a service company knows what they are doing. I compared my receipts from a year ago and my electric bill is 300 kilowatt hours less, and at a 79 degree setting! In just one month I have saved 300 hours which is amazing!”
