Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in Commercial Controllers, News, Trane Tracer Concierge.

HVAC technology already exceeds by far the capacity once noted among heating and cooling product manufacturers. Yet it seems always that new improvements make their way into homes and businesses. Whether home or business, we all seek better equipment functionality, reliability and efficiency. With the introduction of the Tracer Concierge BAS (building automation system), Trane offers the world a selection of building automation software that is exceedingly more functional than a traditional thermostat management system.

Designed to enable centralized management over installed heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and air conditioning equipment, the Concierge™ HVAC system enables essential control over building comfort and lighting from a single simplified and affordable resource center. The system takes advantage of current touch-screen technology, and includes a display that shows the specs within individual buildings and individual regions within any of the given buildings.

A modifiable preloaded scheduler
Options for long term (365 day) programming

ACH Presents – Searching For the Right Gilbert HVAC Contractor

Gilbert Arizona – At Val Vista Lakes Looking East At The Superstition Mountains

Gilbert, Arizona, a town of exciting and vibrant residents. According to recent reports by Mayor John Lewis, Gilbert, AZ has been identified among the best of best regions in America for city safety. Furthermore, this little region of Arizona paradise boasts a 200 thousand plus population served by a series of A-rated schools, a dynamic economic environment, and, in the words of the Mayor, “the lowest local tax burden of any municipality across Arizona. (1)”

From South East Gilbert looking south, residents can see the crest of San Tan Mountains. For those who live along Val Vista Lakes, a look to the south reveals a hint of mystery from the Superstition Mountains. But some folks just like to keep their eyes turned local. For them, a visit to the Gilbert Riparian preserve makes a wonderful spring outing.

In this country, residents can view tractors and orange groves on one morning and by afternoon they can stop by to see town hall and cacti. Or perhaps just enjoy an extended northern view of beautiful homes and open space living. And there is, for the out-of-towners who think Arizona has no greenery, the Farm-Merced.

Gilbert residents also enjoy:

An exceptional quality of community involvement
Remarkable personal security – Gilbert ranks 2nd Safest city in the U.S
Seven hundred acres of recreational open space
8 million square feet of retail activity
Aggressive options for daily and weekend entertainment and gathering activities
A broad selection of Town sponsored festivals and marathons
And some of the finest homes within the Greater Phoenix area.

But whether you live in a Gilbert urban condo or a countryside homestead, home cooling must be considered a constant in your Arizona plans for comfortable living. This paper is designed to help you find the right Gilbert HVAC contractor for your personal needs.

Locating a Gilbert A/C or Heat Pump Service Center – Things To Remember

Keeping your Gilbert home comfortable, safe and healthy demands quality A/C and/or Heat Pump installation and services. From thermostat to exterior condensing units and everything HVAC that comes between, effective home air conditioning must function as a single, well-designed heating and cooling configuration

Personal home comfort is more than an installed air conditioning system. Cooling comfort that comes up short is nearly as bad as a cooling system that depends on electric fans, ice pails and open windows. The right Gilbert HVAC contractor knows how to make sure your home temperature management system rightly fits the unique environment, layout, and features of your home.

When seeking a professional A/C crew, you want people who offer products and solutions that meet:

Reasonable installation pricing
Long-term performance expectations
Personal comfort requirements
Simplicity in operations
Product quality assurance
Evidence of workmanship superiority in service, installation and maintenance
Manufacturer specific requirements for superior product performance
AND Remote management goals.

Save time and money. Living in Gilbert can be fun, relaxing, and comfortable. But if the A/C crashes, it sometimes seems as though the air in your home has turned into an enemy agent. When this happens, you need access to skilled heating and cooling experts that arrive quickly, ready for action, and already equipped with the parts that will get you running ASAP.

And in the event that time has vanquished your existing heat pump or air conditioning condensing system, you need access to an honest, reputable, and efficient Gilbert HVAC contractor capable of acting in your best interest via connections with all major heating and cooling equipment manufacturers.

Checklist of Vital Requirements For Reliable Gilbert Home Cooling

Are your phone calls and emails answered quickly?
Is the prospective HVAC contractor listed with the Gilbert or regional Phoenix Better Business Bureau?
Are the employees and techs drug tested and background checked?
Is the company bonded, licensed and insured to provide service on regional Gilbert homes?
Can the prospective contractor provide evidence of long-term activity in the HVAC service industry?
Do online and paper-based testimonials evidence the reliability, good faith, and customer assurance of a trusted Gilbert A/C contractor?
Do the company’s Heat Pump or Air Conditioning services and/or installation correspond to the website and personal promises given to prospective customers? Hint… Look for unresolved complaints at the local BBB page.
Do they offer “FREE” estimates?
What was the initial contact response time – a 24/7 promise should be reflected from the get-go?
Did the contractor spend time inspecting and assessing your current system, your home environment, and your personal expectations, restrictions and financial limitations?
Did the HVAC contractor provide a written, itemized estimate of the required parts and services?
Did the quote include a “Best Price Guarantee?”
Does the prospective A/C contractor carry an extensive line of brand name products?
Can the prospective HVAC Service Center present you with documentation that evidences the projected cost savings typically associated with installing new Energy Star qualified cooling and heating equipment?
Are the company representatives courteous, friendly, and up-front with information?
Did the contractor request up-front payment? If so, choose another.
What are the specifics of their guarantees: parts, parts only, workmanship, or parts and workmanship?

Apply this guide with diligent care. Pay attention to each step. It will help you locate a Gilbert HVAC contractor who is best suited for your location and specific household cooling requirements – and it may even help you save money on your next heating and cooling electric bill.

Whether you already reside in Mesa, AZ or you are seeking new residence in this awesome midwestern community, bet on one primary point: Sooner or later you will want to seek out a reliable Mesa HVAC service center.

BBB Air Conditioning Report Includes 3 important AC Service Tips

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Arizona Air Conditioning Upgrade Sale.

BBB Releases 3 Important AC Service Points To Consider

Phoenix, Arizona (American Cooling and Heating) –In Arizona the term “misery” comes across as blistering heat and a broken central air conditioning system. But aside from the certainty of consequences associated with high humidity, dust and scalding temperatures, a crashed heat pump or air conditioning system also means that you may encounter some serious A/C service charges.

Sometimes a seemingly low repair cost can end up exceeding the suggested industry service standards. According to a recent Arizona BBB A/C service tip, homeowners can benefit by knowing how to identify HVAC repair sales processes that step outside of the typical pricing and service-quoting scheme.

One year ago in the months of April, May, and June, the Southern Arizona BBB received better than nine thousand air-conditioning repair related consumer inquiries. This year, the BBB seeks to stay ahead of the rush. By learning how to identify the following 3 important AC service practices, you can save money on your Arizona A/C service requirements.

Focus of the Arizona BBB Air Conditioning Report

Everyone seeks a great deal. But keep watch for deals that are two good to be true. According to the BBB, special HVAC pricing that exceedingly undermines standard A/C service charges can imply less than reliable service functionality.

As a consumer in need of Arizona air conditioning services, take notice of the following 3 important AC service tips:

1) Avoid AC Tune-ups That Are Too Far Below Local Averages

Although the standard industry cost for a residential air conditioning tune-up is relatively inexpensive, prices that fall far below average indicate promises of an incomplete, inaccurate, and unreliable A/C tune-up. If the advertised A/C tune-up pricing comes in at figures too low for local averages, take care that you not be drawn in by unrealistic promises.

2) Rule-of-Thumb A/C Suggestions Rather Than Accurate Analysis Of Your Home

According to the BBB report, quick estimates tend to follow faulty rule-of-thumb calculations. There is no easy out in the field of HVAC installation and repair. Look for the tech that suits up for a full crawlspace examination of your existing ductwork. Avoid those who speak in rule-or-thumb statements. This is a lazy man’s estimate practice and it is inaccurate and likely to be very pricey in the homeowner’s long run home cooling expenses.

3) The HVAC Quote Arrives Before The Estimator

It’s real simple: Professional HVAC service centers perform on-site examination of existing system airflow processes as well as existing equipment status evaluations. If the quote arrives by phone rather than by a hands-on inspection of your Arizona home air conditioning system expect to encounter additional service expenses.

Testimonial…

“I had a great experience to share about this AC company. We have used them in the past to fix a problem with AC water overflowing on the carpet. They fixed the problem and cleared the drain. Here is the biggie though. Our outside part of the A/C got hit by electrical surge from storm and was fried. They got us a new unit installed right away. They were also very helpful with getting us the info we needed for our homeowners insurance to cover the repair. I recommended them to a friend from work and he said they did a great job for them too.”
