Value of Our Installation
Without the proper installation, you could be wasting 50 cents of every energy dollar spent!

North Carolina Alternative Energy Corp.
This non-profit organization examined air conditioning manufacturers' efficiencies versus the actual efficiencies that result after installation.

  • 90% of the units tested exhibited some sort of energy-wasting problem
  • 50% had an improper refrigerant charge
  • 40% failed to meet minimum air flow criterion. 20% were barely inside the range specified by manufacturers
  • A deficiency of 20% in air flow reduces the SEER rating by 17%
  • A 15% return air leak from a 120-degree attic could reduce a 12 seer to 6!

Texas A&M University
Found a 23% refrigerant charge could result in a 52% efficiency loss.

Pacific Gas and Electric
Found the average heating energy savings for (1) repair of disconnected ducts was 15%; (2) Repair of diffuser leakage 7.5%; (3) correcting low air flow 5.6%; (4) repairing leaks and correcting refrigerant charge 18.4%.

Lakeland Electric & Water
Researchers found that by repairing leaking duct work, cooling energy was reduced by an average of 17.4%.

Honeywell
Found that heat pumps lost almost 50% of their efficiency after 20 years, even if typical "dust stop" filters were installed. In 20 years, a 12 SEER unit could degrade to a 6 SEER. This would double the energy cost!

Louisiana State University
And Gulf States Utility found consumers could save about $30 per month just by making sure that their air conditioning system was cleaned and serviced regularly.

HVAC Manufacturer's
Data show a condensing unit with an SEER of 13matched with an old air handler would decrease the SEER to 9.2, resulting in 30% less efficiency.

NATE Certification: The Mark of Excellence!

North American Technician Excellence (NATE) is the nationwide certification program for HVACR technicians working in the residential and light commercial market. Supported by the entire industry across all levels -- contractors, manufacturers, wholesalers/distributors, educators, engineers, and technicians themselves -- NATE is a voluntary program designed to recognize truly excellent and capable HVACR professionals.

What is NATE?
NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence, and it's the only nationwide certification program accepted by the entire HVACR industry -- contractors, manufacturers, and the Air Conditioning Contractors of America

Are all HVACR technicians certified by NATE?
NATE is a voluntary certification program designed to ensure that qualifying technicians have a core set of competencies and can be trusted by the consumers who hire them. NATE is the culmination of several years worth of work by ACCA and other industry organizations to establish one single, nationwide certification.

Over the past few years, NATE has grown considerably. Over 20,000 technicians have been NATE-certified and the list continues to grow. With a strong endorsement from the leading manufacturers of HVACR equipment, NATE certification is the standard by which all other technicians should be judged.

Is the NATE certification really meaningful?
Yes! The NATE certification is rigorous and voluntary. There are other third-party certification programs out there, but they have suspiciously high "pass" rates. NATE has the lowest pass rate and is the only nationwide certification program that is endorsed by the HVACR industry across all levels. Technicians, contractors, manufacturers, utilities, educators, wholesalers and leading industry trade associations support NATE. And industry organizations such as ACCA have helped develop the tests to ensure they maintain high professional standards.

Don't you want third-party reassurance that the technician in your home is a capable, qualified individual?
87% of consumers do. Ask your contractor if he or she employs NATE-certified technicians, and request that NATE-certified technicians service your system.

What is a BBB Accredited Business?

If a business has been accredited by BBB, it means BBB has determined that the business meets BBB accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. BBB Accredited Businesses pay a fee for accreditation review/monitoring and for support of BBB services to the public.

BBB accreditation does not mean that the business' products or services have been evaluated or endorsed by BBB, or that BBB has made a determination as to the business' product quality or competency in performing services.

Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
