You have not checked it out again.

Simmons1Hour.Com top three it is free. You can download it, you can print it if you want hard copy, but It's a free 12 page PDF. Talking about the top three questions I get, but I record the audio with it as well so I'm going to play it right here on the podcast. We probably get this question more with newer systems than older systems. Do I really need maintenance? Does my system need to be clean? The simple always answer is yes, it does. Dirt is one of the leading causes of failures for heating and air units. So our number one job is to stop the dirt, stop that from happening. If that's the biggest cause, then we need to stop the dirt from coming in. It doesn't matter if it's 20 years old or 20 months old, dirt is the problem. Energy Star, you know, has a stat that, you know, 1/20 of an inch can affect your efficiency up to 20% or might be up to 20, 21%, but 1/20 of an inch. So think about that for For a second. I mean you take an inch, you know, you take an inch and you slice it up 20 times and you take one of those and that little bit of dirt can affect your unit so much. It's mind boggling. It's, it's amazing that that can do it. And, and the reason it can do it is because we're trying to transfer heat right in the cooling season we're transferring heat out of the house. Right in the winter season we're being, we won't heat to be in the house. So we're, we're using copper, aluminum, things that are really good at transferring heat. So when they get dirt or dust on acts as an insulator. It can't get through, it has trouble getting through. It's kind of like my ms, you know, some of the signals don't go.

As fast as they should.

Same thing with their heating air. So it's not transferring heat efficiently anymore. So it's having to work harder to get the same task done. It's having to work harder. And working harder means it has to use more energy, it has to use more wear and tear. And you can see what happens after that goes on and on and on. It is a great way when you get a maintenance, it is a great way to help prevent those breakdowns because we can take those readings, we can see those amp draws, we can clean that coal, we can get the dirt out, we can get. So it's, you know, it dramatically drops, you know, the emergency breakdown because those things can be caught and you can start playing offense and not defense. That's what I sort of call it. You play offense and not defense, meaning you're proactive, not reactive. You're trying to, to look at the system and see what problems you can eliminate before they become issues, before they come become situation. Because the unit is going to feel typically it's going to feel when it's, you know, the hottest or the coldest days of the year, it's not going to fail. When It's a nice 75 degree day, sun shining, feels good outside. That's usually not when it fails, it usually feels at the worst possible time for you. That's why it's important to have that maintenance done to make sure you're on top of what you can sit on top of. Now things are still going to happen. I mean it's a machine motor could go out, a transformer, a capacitor, I mean that can still happen, but you.

Can.

Sit yourself up in the best possible situation and that's going to be to perform my Minions.
