Took 8 calls today and that was just me, 3 other techs took 8-9 as well !!!

My boss said he has never seen it like this in the 30 years he has been working, reason being is that it went from mild to HOT !!!

It is absolutely unreal how many A/C systems are seriously blowing out, few calls today were no Pressure what so ever.

Guys and Gals make sure to check your filters !!!

we see it in the auto industry, the first 80+ degree day, 75% of the cars have an A/C concern.

1933 house here. AC barely blows in our bedroom. I can feel it but barely. I will have to check the filter as it probably need replacing.

Tuesday we got 80+ calls. Wednesday we got 32 calls in the first hour that the shop opened. 90% of those are commercial/industrial properties.
Having the biggest service dept. in the state FTW.

I'm nervous to see the utility bill after this week. I've been keeping it at 81* or 82*, but the air conditioner has been running for a total of 10 hours the last two weeks. Not sure if that's a long time or not a long time since this is the first place I have actually turned the air conditioner on.

You guys need to check Factory Motor Parts for A/C parts. 1 800 radiator has mucho condensers and evaporators.

Half the radiator shops we order from wont sell them to us cause they say they're worse than the factory junk we're pulling out

Damn you guys pay a lot.

Our 1,500 sq.ft condo bill is usually under $100 year round. Helps to have our patio and windows positioned perfectly...

We can go almost a full month or two sometimes in the early fall/late spring. without having to turn on the central air or heat..

we were doing that for a while, then rear H-Valves went on back order, so there was no point in doing it that way, so we have to get the Mopar ones.(the mopar ones come with H-valves)
