Why Preventative Maintenance?

The first time a unit is operated, mold / fungus begin accumulating. Mold spores are microscopic and professional cleaning your air handler every year is the only positive method to control mold / fungus accumulation. The Kool Team utilizes 4 different environmentally safe chemicals and a 10 step process to thoroughly clean and sanitize your system.
Over the years, we have learned that most air conditioning systems have energy wasting problems that can be corrected through regularly scheduled preventive maintenance. Well documented studies have shown that:

• 1/100th of an inch of dirt on an evaporator coil can increase operating costs by 5%
• A dirty blower wheel can reduce air flow by over 30% which causes the unit to run longer.
• A 23% refrigerant undercharge can cause the unit to operate less efficiently by up to 52%
• Improper refrigerant undercharge will cause premature compressor failure.
• Small air leaks in your return air ducts within a 120 degree attic can double operating costs.
• The bottom line is: Preventive Maintenance saves you money!

A Newer Energy Efficient System may make Sense

Air Conditioning Systems operate most days of the year for comfort and indoor air quality. If your air conditioning system is older than 10 years, there's a good probability that you are going to pay 30-40% more in utility costs when it does run.
Air Conditioning Systems purchased before 1985 do not include energy-saving technologies such as scroll compressors that models incorporate today. There are many value-priced options to choose from. All our systems are quiet, reliable and built to last with fewer moving parts.

The end result in operating pre-1985 equipment is higher electricity costs that add up quickly. You can start saving money immediately and for years to come with the energy efficient equipment available. Call “The Kool Team” Today! Consultations and Inspections are always offered as a courtesy!
