It’s important to know how energy efficient your air conditioner is, and the best way to assess this is by checking its SEER number. SEER is to air conditioning systems what AFUE is to heating systems: it tells you the energy efficiency of your unit. While AFUE is presented as a percentage, SEER is a ratio number based on a scale that runs from 1 to 23+. Whether you have an existing air conditioner, are installing one for the first time or need a replacement system, it’s important to know how your air conditioner is using energy.

We have the best customers!
Monday, June 22nd, 2015On Monday, June 15th, one of our trucks was rear-ended at a stop light. The truck took a little damage, but our Technician, Josh was hurt and has been off work since then. This caused a huge problem for us, schedule-wise. Jr and myself had to work our already full schedules and pick up as much of Josh’s calls as we could. The rest had to be re-scheduled. Our customers were completely understanding and worked with us to re-do the schedule and get through this difficult time. THANK YOU!!! We hope to have Josh back full time on Tuesday, the 23rd.
