BUYER BEWARE
We received a call from a new customer wanting a second opinion about the condemnation of two of their three central furnaces. It seems a very large and well advertised company had just left their house and told them two of their furnaces had cracked heat exchangers and the furnaces needed to be replaced for thousands of dollars apiece. This other company had used a video camera with a snake attachment for the lens to condemn these heaters. The cracks they were showing the customer, were actually scratches made on them when the attachment was put into the furnaces. We took the heat exchangers out of their housing to verify to the homeowner that they were indeed not bad. The video cameras are a great diagnostic tool, when used by someone with scruples. However, this was not the case in this instance. Both of these heaters were less than 10 years old, which is what alerted the homeowners to a possible misdiagnosis. Less than a week later we went behind this Company again on an 8 year old furnace, with the same results.

How to Select your A/C Contractor
Most Houston homeowners have some kind of fear and trembling about their air-conditioner. It’s that essential to living in this part of the country. And that makes having true professionals in your corner a smart strategy.
We believe that membership in trade organizations, such as the Air Conditioning Contractors Association of Greater Houston, implies integrity. “It has a code of ethics that we subscribe to. All members must be licensed and insured. In the event of a dispute, the association can arbitrate.
Air-Conditioning is a building science these days and the better companies realize that the a/c and heating is a system within the larger system of the house. Sometimes that means we need to fix the house – not just the a/c .We do it by testing such factors as air pressure, humidity levels, air filtration and leaks in the thermal envelope.
