Congratulations to Suzanne M. in Fountain City.
She has won our “Warming Up The Neighborhood” heating unit giveaway. Suzanne’s gas furnace had served her well for many years. Unfortunately this old and loyal servant was just worn out and could not continue another winter without some expensive (and not recommended) repairs. Recent times have been tough for Suzanne with surgeries, a car wreck and a need for additional expensive medical treatments. The funds for a new furnace were practically impossible to find. She had a small electric heater but not much else to heat her home.
It was looking to be a loooooong cold winter.
A few elves, also known as super efficient and highly capable installation technicians, from AA-Air Company, came by to visit Suzanne and deliver an early Christmas present. These elves didn’t come down the chimney like Santa. They came in through the basement door. In a twinkling, the old, inoperable heating unit was gone and a new and efficient gas furnace was in it’s place. While there, they noticed a problem with a poorly sealed whole house fan in the hallway. The elves sealed this opening before leaving, making Suzanne’s home a bit more efficient too.
Warm holiday wishes to Suzanne from all of us at AA-Air Company.
AA-Air Company is a service company that strongly believes in planned maintenance. We hear “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” with some frequency when discussing our maintenance program. But consider when an unmaintained system is most likely to break down and what that means to your household. The failure happens when you need the unit the most and a mad scramble ensues to get your home and family comfortable again. Who can stay home from work? How long before a technician can come? How much hassle to your life and schedule is involved in getting an emergency repair call? How much worry is there when you have no heat and the temperatures are very cold? And don’t even mention that this is an unplanned expense.
The last two summer seasons here in the Knoxville area have been much hotter than normal. Last winter was colder than usual too. The service dispatcher and service specialists here at AA-Air Company can confirm that the homes and businesses we visited to repair an HVAC system during the most extreme part of the season were unlikely to be the members of our maintenance program. This holds true for the homeowners the technicians saw after hours for emergency service.
How much simpler is it to plan for a maintenance visit at your convenience? Our team and our maintenance clients will tell you to go ahead and fix it before it is broken. Maintenance is on sale right now and it is the perfect time to prepare for the cold temperatures ahead.
Critical reminder
for anyone who had roof repairs done this summer or presently has a roof with a tarp for temporary protection. If you have any type of fossil fuel (gas, oil, propane) appliance in the home that could have an exhaust vent through the roof, please have your appliance checked to see that the termination is intact, clear of obstruction and has not been “molested” by roofing repairs. The attached picture shows a furnace exhaust that we call two pipe. It has intake and exhaust in one termination. This termination cap has been cut and the intake has been taped over, starving the furnace for air. This nice homeowner has no heat and has potential damage to the furnace inducer.
Our in-depth heating maintenance is on sale right now with a coupon in the newsletter on our website. We will inspect terminations for other appliances while at your home or business.
