• Some equipment problems can DOUBLE operating costs without reducing comfort & usability.
• Up to 80% of all refrigeration compressor failures could be eliminated if the problems that lead to the failure were corrected in a timely manner.
• A “Freon” (refrigerant) undercharge of only 10% can increase operating costs by almost 20%.
• “Freon” (refrigerant) should never need to be replaced.  If is must be added every year, there is an expensive leak that should be repaired.
• A dirty evaporator, condenser and blower could increase refrigeration equipment electrical usage by 50% or more.
• Just a 100th of an inch of dirt or film on an evaporator coil can reduce its efficiency by 5%.
• Unrepaired small problems can lead to very expensive repairs.
• Depending on the current condition of your equipment this service may pay for itself several times over in energy savings alone.
• Periodic safety checks can eliminate dangerous problems.

According to studies conducted by the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service and Gulf States Utility Company, you can SAVE up to $30 a month per unit on your utility bill by making sure that your equipment is cleaned and serviced regularly.

The study concluded that proper equipment maintenance can:

·         INCREASE COMFORT

·         LOWER OPERATING COSTS

·         INCREASE SYSTEM CAPACITY

·         INSURE LONGER EQUIPMENT LIFE
