Job Sign Lottery Winner-June 2010

Our latest job sign lottery winner is Rosemary Jones of Anderson, Indiana.   Congratulations to Rosemary, and thank you to all of our clients that participated.  Our job sign lottery is a fun and exciting way for our clients to have a chance to win a little quick cash just by placing our job sign in the front yard.  After our technician did service on the air conditioner at Mrs. Jones home, he placed our job sign in the yard and registered her to win $500..it was just that easy.   Our next job sign contest is coming up soon,  don’t miss your chance to win.

Should you repair or replace your furnace or air conditioner?

Whenever a client is facing a big repair bill on an older piece of equipment, we encourage them to at least look at the option of replacing that furnace or air conditioner, rather than repairing it.  This usually makes sense if your system is more than 8-10 years old, and if you are faced with a repair of more than a few hundred dollars.  What we often find with clients faced with this dilemma is kind of a snowball effect.  It never seems to fail when you have an older piece of equipment that starts having problems, no sooner do you get one thing fixed than another problem crops up.  After all, nothing is built to last forever, and nursing along an older piece of equipment is sometimes not in your best interest.

Many times we can actually save the client money, and have that new piece of equipment literally pay for itself over a period of time. Lets just say that a client is faced with a $500 repair bill on a 10 year old furnace that is only 60% efficient.  By installing a high efficient furnace, say one that is 95% efficient or even a Hybrid system, we can usually save the client hundreds of dollars each year in energy bills alone, save them the cost of unnecessary repairs by adding a great warranty, and over a period of 10 years, these savings can add up to the cost of a new furnace.  And, many times there are rebates available from the Federal government, State government and utility companies that can really add up. Why throw your money away on an older, unreliable system when you can have a new worry free furnace and air conditioner installed, and have it practically pay for itself.  And, we offer some great financing packages on the installation of new equipment as well.

If you are not sure whether to repair or replace your furnace or air conditioner, give us a call for your free in home evaluation.  We will be happy to come by and go over all of your options, and answer all of your questions you may have when thinking about what to do about a costly repair.

Have you had your air conditioner maintained?

Wow, what a crazy summer of weather it has been! I can’t remember the last time it got so hot so early, and now it’s staying hot. And humid. All of this hot, muggy, sticky weather is causing our air conditioners to work overtime, that’s for sure. The mosquitoes are working overtime, too.

We still have some clients that have not yet had maintenance done on their air conditioner. Really, it is not as important when you get it done, as long as you get it done on a regular basis each year. So if you are one of those that hasn’t yet called, go ahead while you are thinking of it and give us a ring. We can take care of that maintenance for you, and you can enjoy the rest of your hot, muggy summer without worrying about a breakdown. Remember, we’re here when you need us.

Job Sign Lottery winner-July 2008

Congratulations to The Mattioni’s in Carmel for being the $500 winner in our job sign lottery contest. All they had to do was place an Action Air job sign in their yard, and leave it in place until drawing day. When their name was drawn, we drove by the home to make sure the job sign was still in place…it was… and they won! What an easy way to win 500 bucks! Participants came from all around our service area such as Fishers, Carmel, Geist, Indy, Oaklandon, Castleton, Noblesville, Westfield, Anderson, McCordsville, and Pendelton. Thanks to all the folks who joined in, we will be doing it again soon!
We are sometimes asked why we do the job sign contest. We do the contest 2-3 times a year as a fun, creative way to promote our services here at Action Air. Advertising is expensive, and sometimes not very effective, so we allow a certain amount of our marketing budget for this contest each year as another way to get the word out about what a great company we are, and to have some fun. We win by having lots of job signs displayed, and our clients win cold hard cash!

Monitor your indoor air quality with the Air Advice

UPDATE July 21, 2010-We are no longer offering the Air Advice service

Action Air is one of only a couple of companies in the Indy metro area to offer clients the Air Advice indoor air quality monitor. Now, instead of just guessing how we can help our clients with their indoor air quality, we can actually monitor the indoor air in the home and provide a detailed report specifying areas of concern.

The Air Advice monitor is just a little black box placed in the home by us, usually for three to five days. The data is sent electronically to a third party company to be analyzed.  We will then provide the client with a detailed, minute by minute, 10 page report showing the specific problem areas.  The client will be able to see firsthand on the graphs provided details such as spikes in volatile organic compounds, temperature differences, humidity, and other indoor air pollutants.

This information is especially important with todays tightly sealed homes, and is most helpful to folks with conditions such as asthma, allergies and respiratory ailments. Even healthy individuals can suffer the effects of indoor air pollution with symptoms like watery eyes, headaches, sore throat, coughing and fatigue. Action Air can then take steps to recommend solutions to help clean up the indoor air. Adding high efficiency filtration, ultraviolet air purification, or bringing in more fresh air with an air exchange unit can all be beneficial when cleaning up the indoor environment.
