BEWARE:

Cost cutting techniques used by the unscrupulous air conditioning & heating contractor.

Don't laugh .. we see these time and time again ..

The line-set: 4 different approaches to cutting costs.

1.) The easiest and least noticeable method to reduce line-set costs is to simply use thinner lower grade copper. It's not noticeable by the customer and saves money.
2.) Use a smaller diameter copper than the system requires. Customers won't notice and you'll save. Better yet, use both a smaller diameter line-set and thinner walled lower grade copper. The system will work just fine, your customers will be happy. The only thing they'll see is higher electricity bills from now till forever, and when it develops leaks earlier, blame it on Murphy's law, earthquakes or.....
3.) Piece the line-set together from scraps, hide the welds in the ceilings, attics, or walls. The company trying to find the leaks will go nuts trying to find it ..ha .. ha .... ha. Customers won't notice, after all they can't watch all the time!
4.) Don't worry about any kinks in the line-set. The system will still work. Customers won't notice, they'll be quite happy! They will only pay a bit more electricity from now till forever. Besides the compressor's new so it can handle a bit of extra work, can't it! CONCLUSIONS: Play this part of cost reduction properly and you can save anywhere from $200 to $400 on each new system installation.

Air conditioning and heating scams to be wary of

Freon Step 1 Reduce your costs, customers don't know about these ones!

Don't bother evacuating the system before releasing the Freon. Customers won't notice a thing, for some years at least. They haven't a clue about the acid that's created by leaving air and moisture in the system. By the time it does its damage they'll be lots of other reasons to give them for system failure. Besides the acid moisture combination only makes the compressor work a little harder, so it's not like they'll be spending allot of extra money on electricity, is it? You'll get a chance to replace the system for them, years earlier. They don't know about the inside deposits left from welding do they? Save some money. The deposits usually won't effect the metering devices for some time. The compressors new so it can handle some extra work, right? The extra electricity isn't something to worry about, cause they won't know, will they. CONCLUSIONS: Play this part of cost reduction properly and you can save maybe $300 or more on each new air conditioning system installation.

Use a LOWER SEER evaporator COIL

Do it. The system will work great! Customers will be happy! It is so easy to do as customers can't tell. Except for the electricity part. What's a bit extra of electricity from now till forever. Besides customers will still pay less electricity over the old clunker, so they'll still be happy and recommend their friends.

CONCLUSIONS: Play this part of cost reduction properly and you can save maybe $200 or a bit more on each new air conditioning system installation.

Tell them the old Furnace is okay!

Do it .. especially with budget conscious customers. Better to get a sale outta them. They don't know most old furnaces were engineered to blow about 300 CFM's of air per ton of air conditioning .. which was fine for the old condensers. But the new condensers need about 400 CFM's per ton of air conditioning. Customers will be happy, they saved money! No need to tell them that their electrical cost will be high .. or the new condenser will not make it to a ripe old age! It is so easy to do as customers can't tell. What's a bit of electricity from now till forever. Besides customers will still pay less electricity over the old clunker, so they'll still be happy and recommend their friends. It's better to get an extra $2000.00 PLUS or so sale later, when they need to replace that old furnace ... no need to tell them it would have cost less than half had it been done as part of the air conditioning system upgrade! SAVINGS????

Tell them the old Evaporator Coil is okay!

They'll never get the energy efficiency they paid for .. but they won't know. Odds are it will work for a good number of years! And you'll get more sales earlier from that customer .. a hero .. you saved them money! They say you were the only one who advised them properly! The new condenser will die years, earlier! But you'll have lot's of other reasons to give them for failure .. won't you!

CONCLUSIONS: Play this part of cost reduction properly and you can save some good time on each new system installation, plus sell for less!

Freon STEP 2 Cost REDUCTION

Don't bother to re-check the Freon levels after the system is running, it won't be a whole lot off anyway. Customers will be happy as the system will work! They'll never notice the extra electricity ( about 10% ) spent to operate their system, nor will they understand the extra work the compressor does for both undercharged and overcharged systems. CONCLUSIONS: Time is money isn't it? You can avoid sending high priced talent to the job site! Play this part of cost reduction properly and you can save time on each new air conditioning system installation.

Don't worry about return air flows

The system will still do an okay job even if it's a bit starved for air flow. Most of the time. Customers will simply assume it's just too hot outside for their system. It will take a few years for the extra work the compressors doing to show up as failure, well most of the time. Customers will still be pleased with the system. What's extra electricity between friends anyway. You'll get a replacement sale and repairs earlier too!

CONCLUSIONS: You can save some good time and money on each new system installation.

USE TRACT or Builders units.

They all have the well known brand names don't they? Save the money! Why not, nobody knows. Customers don't expect anything to last forever, so a few less years of service built in is just good for business isn't it! CONCLUSIONS: Play this part of cost reduction properly and you can save maybe $300 to $600 or a bit more on each new air conditioning system installation.

*There are lots more little tricks to do with electrical supply, wire size, under and over sizing, venting and duct work.

However, we're sure you get the idea! Air conditioning and heating systems only work well when done properly. There is no such thing as shortcuts that work!!

You now have a basic understanding the scams and shortcut to be aware of in air conditioning and heating, and the extra costs. To further investigate heating and air conditioning just click on the air conditioning home or any link you are interested in.
