THIS FOR YOUR INFORMATION AND YOU NEED TO READ IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END

 

Just a few days ago our A/C  stopped running ..... I called the people who installed it (ARS).

They could not send a service man o0ut that day but did get one to me the next day.

I told him it had stopped running outside but the fan was working inside.  He looked at it and decided it needed some refrigerant gas added to the system.  He then added two pounds at a cost of about $54.00 per pound plus a service call.

Two days later it did the same thing.  I decided that the system should have been checked for a leak before adding the refrigerant gas .... so I called another servie to check on their service.  I called Loyd Mechanical .... Floyd Loyd is a neighbor but I had not know he did Air Conditioning work.  I had talked to a couple of neighbors who said he had done work for them and he was reliable and resonable.

Mr. Loyd came to our house and put his gauges on our A/C and told me it was overcharged ..... I read the gauges and saw the pressure was 290 psi when it should have been reading about 193 psi at the temperature that day.

The system restarted and worked for two days and shut off again.  I called Floyd Mechanical and Mr. Floyd came right over.  The problem was a hard to spot problem that caused the circuit board to shut the system down.  The problem was repaired at no charge to us and the A?C has bee running well for about a week now.

We have since found than many service companies charge $25.00 per pound for the same refrigerant gas that ARS charged $54.00 per pound for.  And they recommend that a system be tested to find if there is a significant leak before adding gas to the system.

We used to rely on ARS but they no longer have our confidence
