Spring is coming

Spring is on the way. We need to get our a/c into Fine Tune shape. For starters here are some easy steps to take which will ensure a smooth operation of your a/c.
1. Change your filter
2. Check to see if you have dirt build up on your a/c coil outside.
3. Pour about 1/2 to 1 cup of bleach down condensation drain. This helps with algea build up.

These are just a few steps which may be taken to insure you are ready to start up your a/c system.
Lastly, if a/c does not seem to be cooling well call a Licensed HVAC company to come and inspect the operation of your a/c system. We tend to start our spring and summer tune-ups in March so contact Wesley Ramirez HVAC at 469-438-1530. Thank you

Price for R22 (FREON)

Good day to all. Last week was a little tough on the hvac industry. The manufactures of R22 are cutting back production by 35 - 45%. The price per lb of R22 is going to be a higher this summer to the consumer.
Found a article about R22 in yahoo finance dating January 2012.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cooling-systems-repair-replace-203300563.html

Couple of things to think about from now until you need that service call for no cooling or not cooling well.
1. If low of Freon, need to pin point where the leak is.
2. Repair or Replace existing hvac equipment.
     a.replace indoor coil if leaking with coil to handle new R410a
     b.replace entire hvac system switching over to new R410a system.
3. Did I plan on being in my home the next 3 - 5 years.
4. Is my hvac equipment older than 10 - 12 years.
5. Risk out ways reward and add R22 (Freon) and hope for the best.

These are going to be some tough decision we will need to make this coming summer. We will consult with you and help to determine all of our options available to us.

Keep in mind if you do decide to upgrade to the new environmental Refrigerant R410a which is being phase in for the last 5 plus years we can reduce the overall cost of ownership and increase our savings over the lifetime of your new hvac system.

Cold weather is on the way for February so keep warm add another blanket at night and turn your t'stat down to save on utilities.
All the best
Warmest Regards
Wesley Ramirez
