Are We Having Fun Yet?

I know the plenty of you are having fun playing in the snow but I'm not. It would have been nice to at least had a break of more than a couple days between storms. Here on the south shore of Long Island we've been hit but friends and relatives in other states, wow. Turnersville, NJ relatives had 31 inches on the front lawn. Friends down in Reston, VA right near Dulles Airport, 32 inches. Their photo of a garbage bin that gets posted to keep track of snowfall total is slowly becoming a fixture like Punxsutawney Phil. Other friends in York, PA near the Harley Davidson factory, well we don't know exactly who is having more fun playing in the snow, the parents or the kids.

So, tons of snow on the ground and what do I want to be doing? Servicing air conditioning of course. I'm talked about it before. When those first stray days of humid weather that come upon us unexpectedly show up you should be able to just flip the switch on your thermostat and have cool air coming out of the vents.

But wait, you threw the switch, nothing happened!!!

That's why you should be calling me now to come do a checkup on your central air system. Waiting causes all sorts of problems for you and me alike. Yeah, I know, you don't want me pumping cold air into your house when it's cold out. But the amount of cold air that would come in is the equivalent of what you get when you open the front door. It's fast and painless, believe me. Think about it, and yes, I realize it's Valentine's Day ♥ (which also happens to be my birthday), Memorial Day is not that far off. The family is over for the first bbq, the kids are running around yelling and screaming, your wife and the in-laws are prepping the food in the kitchen. All of a sudden you hear someone yell "turn the ac on for a while, it's getting too warm in here". Yep, that was your mother-in-law......uh oh. You slowly walk over to that thermostat, reach for the switch that turns it from heat to cool and as you move it from one side to the other you close your eyes and hope.....D'oh, crash and burn! It didn't work! And it could have been prevented......call me now. It's always easier for everyone (including your wallet!) to have your heating and air conditioning serviced in the off season before you need it. You'll be happier, your wife (or husband) will be happier, your mother-in-law will be happier.
