Hey Floridians,
There is Fresh Free money available for testing & fixing duct leakage in your home when you change out your air conditioning system (equipment).
$1500 for you if you get the leakage down below 15 % total. If it's already there, you get the rebate too. No repairs required
Our beloved Governor, who is fighting for his political life, has great timing!!
The drawback is that there is only $15M (million dollars) that means only 10,000 people will get the rebate when they change their equipment & seal their ducts.
Great Job Charlie! Dollars into the economy, Energy savings for the homeowners of Florida, & less usage of electrons through the grid!!
Get it tested; Get it sealed
There are a limited amount of funds, so get on the phone TODAY!
Call Gulf Coast Air Care in the Panhandle (850) 934-2768 or http://www.gulfcoastaircare.com/

Ah~Yes,
The Pensacola Home & Products Expo 2010
(at the Pensacola Civic Center Aug 20-22 Fri, Sat, Sun)
This is my favorite show of the year because we get to meet people face-to-face and talk about their indoor environmental issues. You know, what make them uncomfortable, what makes them sick, what makes them unhappy with their home or A/C system.
Many people are fearful of "Being Sold" when they come to a trade show like ours.
What really happens is the consumer gets to see "first hand" the quality , values, & ethics of a company. The people who staff the booth is a direct reflection of what the core values are in their company.
Are they enjoying what they do?
Do they promote integrity within the business environment?
Do they give back to the community where they live & work?
This is an opportunity to view the "soul" of a company & I would think that most people would want to know this stuff before hiring some guys to come to the house & dive into a project.
We all know "home projects" are often times large projects that require a professional contractor; they frequently run into complications & complexities that put them over budget and frustrate homeowners as well as contractors
So my advice is learn who the contractors are, ask for referrals & pick the best.
The Best or Easiest way to learn is to visit them when they have their "Wares on Display" & they are "bearing their soul"
Just please don't walk down the center-line of the aisle!!!!!!!!
We just want to know about your concerns-REALLY

Hey, I read all this stuff about how important Air Duct Cleaning is to the Indoor Environment
Well my opinion is this~ its only important if its done correctly!
This $69-$89 blow & go special that is taking the country by storm~ this is not the kind of work that is going to give you happy results.
If you have a dust issue or a family member with Allergies or Asthma you don't want to take a chance with somebody's health or well being. Lets spend a little time getting the facts & get it right the first time.
Lets face it, you can't get much in terms of service work for $89. That's for any tradesman to come to your home for any repair.
I run a company & I can't get 2 service guys (duct cleaning is a 2-man job) out of the shop for that money; not to mention the quality of the work your are going to get for this price.
Now if we consider this as a platform for "bait and switch" operations then we are talking about the real truth regarding this pricing structure. These Blow N Go companies talk about "upselling to the customer" as a way to relieve the "ethics or code of conduct " obligation that they have as the result of being in the marketplace.
The only thing that will save a consumer from being ripped off is to do a little research and get some education regarding duct cleaning.
There are plenty of resources out there~ the BBB is a good place to start for local service company info & then you can review the info regarding Inspecting & Cleaning A/C systems from the national association ~ NADCA ~the Association for Inspection, Maintenance & Restoration of HVAC systems; their web site is www.NADCA.com/education
Let me just close by saying this "BUYER BEWARE". If you find a deal that sounds "too good to be true" do some checking, ask around, and don't buy into the junk science & scare tactics that some kid on commission is telling you.
Learn or get burned.
