Said By the Guy Right Before He Died of a Heart Attack!

Just Like Our Body Needs a Check Up to Prevent Sudden Failure, Our Cooling and Heating System Can Be a Heartbeat Away From Loosing Critical Major Expensive Parts, Due To Lack Of Routine Preventative Maintenance.

Small Inexpensive Parts Are Often What Causes Compressor Failure. and Replacing Your Compressor Is Very Expensive. Almost The Cost Of a Whole New Outdoor Unit, Which is Called Your Condensing Unit. So If a Small Inexpensive Part Can Be Diagnosed And Replaced To Prevent Huge Costly Disasters, Then It’s a No Brainer Get The Check Up.

A lot Of Consumers Are Not Aware That Electric Heat Causes Fires. Even Though They Don’t Have a Flame Like Gas Heat. They Use Electric Heat Elements Like an Electric Stove. And These Elements Use a Lot Of Electricity Wattage. So Wires Can Get Hot and Burn.

Also With Electric Heat, You Can Have One Or More Of Your Heating Elements Not Working, and Not Know It In Mild Weather. Only To Find Yourself Freezing During The First Really Cold Snap. Having To Hear The Complaints Of Your Whole Household, While Heating Professionals Are Overwelmed For Days, From All The Others Who Thought Their Heating System Was Fine.

Gas Heat Also Has The Risk of Carbon Monoxide. Often Called The Silent Killer. Because It Has No Odor. Symptoms Mimmick the Flu. Muscle Aches, Sneezing, and Such. Gas Furnaces Have A Lot Of Parts That Have To Be In Sync With Each Other. And Keeping Your Airways Clean Is Important. Especially For Furnaces That Have Their Controls inside Their Air Stream Were Their Furnace Blower Is.

Not Having Routine Cleaning Is a Common Mistake. Build Up In Your Duct System, Especially Your Evaporator Cooling Coil Inside Your Ductwork Can Cause Your Cooling and Heating System to Have To Run Much Longer To Circulate The Same Volume Of Air to Cool and/or Heat Your House, So You Run Up Your Utility Costs So Gradually That Over The Years, You Don’t Realize An Evaporator Coil Cleaning Would More Than Pay For Itself. Plus You Are Breathing That Stuff.

With Texas State Law, That Depends on What Kind Of Company Did Your Duct Cleaning.

Carpet Cleaning Companies Can Legally Clean Your Air Ducts, As Long as They Don’t Clean Your Evaporator Cooling Coil, Which is Located Inside Your  Ductwork. Either Inside Your Electric Heating Unit Called Your Air Handler, Or Installed Next To Your Gas Furnace.

Some Duct Cleaning Compamies Don’t Call Themselves Carpet Cleaning Companies. Just Duct Cleaning. Which May Lead to Consumers Believing They Know About Air Conditioning, When They Don’t Know Much. Certainly Not Enough To Pass a Master’s License Exam, To Run an Air Conditioning Company.

Carpet Cleaning and Duct Cleaning Companies Do Not Have to be State Licensed. Anyone Can Just Start Doing Duct Cleaning. They Have Their Own Industry Certifications. But Only For Duct Cleaning.

To Know If The Company Is Qualified To Give you Air Conditioning and Heating Service and Advice, You Can Simply Ask to See Their State of Texas AC License. They Must Carry it With Them By Law. Just Like a Drivers License.

In Texas You Have Two Colors Of Air Conditioning and Heating Licenses.

The Master’s License is a (Gold License Card). This is not a Business Card. It’s Like a Drivers License To Operate An Air Conditioning Company. To Qualify For The Gold License, You Have To Pass The Masters Exam. It

In Texas I Cannot Put Anyone On a Jobsite To Do Air Conditioning Work, Without Them Having A White AC License Card.

The (White License Card) Does Not Require An Exam. Even If I Hired You Today, Regardless of Experience, Even No Experience, You Would Have To Pay The State $20 To The (TDLR), Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, For Them To Run a Background Check On You, and Issue You Your White AC  Technician License.

The White License Card Holder Is Not Legal To Do AC Work for Themselves.

The State Rightly Mandates That They Must Work Under the Supervision Of The Master.

If You Let Them Do AC Work Without The Supervision of a Master, You Are Likely Going To Have Mistakes.

Employees With White Licenses Are Not Allowed To Do Manual J Heat Load Calculations, Nor Manual D Duct Calculations. So It’s Unlikely They Would Have That Experience. They Just Get Told What To Put Were.

Legally Only a Masters License Holder (Gold Card License) Can Do Heat Load Calculations To Determine What Size Of Air Conditioning Equipment is The Correct Size For Your Home Or Business. Too Big or Too Small can Have Big Problems For the Life Of Your AC and Heating System.

Only a Masters License Holder Can Legally Calculate Duct Sizing. This Determines Important Technical Air Flow Balances Such as How Much Cubic Feet of Air Can Get Into Each Room, Countered By Static Pressure. Static Pressure is a Necessary Component of Air Pressure that is like a Ballooning Effect.
