The excerpt is an English explanatory segment by a single speaker (presenter/technician) advising homeowners about HVAC upkeep—contrasting older, more rugged units with modern thin-copper/aluminum systems, explaining that heat transfer is impaired by dirt and debris which act as insulators, causing units to work harder, and urging regular cleaning and maintenance to protect the investment.

So you just spent this money and invested this kind of money. And to not get maintained, it's not a good idea because again, these aren't the same kind of units you had 25, 30 years ago with the thick copper and the beer can carry units that could pretty much take anything. These are thin copper, thin aluminum for your system. So they need to be cleaned, they need to be maintained. Heating in there is all about heat transfer. So if you got something, dirt, debris in the way, it acts as an insulator against that happening. So the unit therefore has to work harder. So again, it's just not worth it. I mean, keep it maintained, keep it clean.
