The GOLD STAR SAVINGS PROGRAM
A program providing seasonal preventive maintenance, valuable discounts, and priority service to club members
Comfort and Peace of Mind
PRIORITY SERVICE
In the unlikely event you have a problem, you’ll always get priority service.
ENHANCE COMFORT
Your family’s comfort can improve once your Heating & Air Conditioning system has been inspected, cleaned, and is operating at peak efficiency.
IMPROVE RELIABILITY
Our Gold Star Savings Program improves your comfort reliability by finding and correcting small problems before they get bigger.
REDUCE COMPRESSOR FAILURES
Electrical components wear out over time. When a compressor contactor or run capacitor fails, it is not uncommon for the compressor to be damaged. Research shows that 80% of air conditioning compressor failures could be eliminated if the problem that led to the damage was found and eliminated in a timely manner.
Energy Savings
Your heating and air conditioning system uses more energy as it ages. Here’s what we do to lower your energy bill and improve your family’s comfort:
CLEAN EVAPORATOR COIL
Dirt and airborne allergens like pollen can pass through the air filter and become attracted to the wet surface of the evaporator coil. Just 1/100th of an inch of dirt can increase operating costs 5%. Your energy bill goes up as dirt builds up.
CLEAN BLOWER WHEEL
The fan that blows air throughout your home can also get dirty. Cleaning a dirty blower wheel could lower heating and cooling costs by 5% or more.
CLEAN OUTDOOR COIL
There is no filter on the condenser coil. Every year leaves, grass trimming, and dirt can reduce condenser air flow. The lower the condenser air flow, the higher your energy bill. If the condenser gets too clogged, a safety control shuts off the cooling.
CHECK REFRIGERANT CHARGE
Because many Heating & Air Conditioning systems are oversized, a low refrigerant charge could easily go unnoticed. Air conditioning energy costs are reduced on average 18.4% after properly charging with refrigerant.
AIR CONDITIONING
CONDENSER COIL fins will be straightened and cleaned as required.
VALUE TO YOU – Obstructed condenser coils raise refrigerant pressure, increasing your electrical bill and reducing reliability.
EVAPORATOR COIL will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Evaporator coils become dirty because air filters only collect a portion of the particles in the air. Even a small amount of dirt can decrease efficiency, increase operating costs, and lead to compressor failure.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE checked as required.
VALUE TO YOU – A low or high refrigerant charge can easily go unnoticed and increase operating costs. An improper charge is a leading cause of discomfort.
THERMOSTAT will be checked as required.
VALUE TO YOU – Improperly calibrated thermostats allow the unit to run longer than necessary. Every degree your air conditioning operates below 78 degrees can add 5 to 8% to the cost of cooling.
CONTROLS & SAFETIES will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Controls and safeties that do not function properly can increase operation costs and cause entire systems to fail.
CAPACITORS will be checked.
VALUE TO YOU – Bad capacitors cause compressor and motor to fail.
AIR FILTER will be replaced at customer’s option.
VALUE TO YOU – A restricted air filter wastes energy and shortens system life.
RELAYS AND CONTACTORS will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to motor or compressor failure.
UNIT DISCONNECT will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – A worn or overheated disconnect blows fuses and trips circuit breakers.
UNIT WIRING connections tightened as required.
VALUE TO YOU – Loose connections can lead to motor failure, compressor failure, or fire.
TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES will be taken and recorded.
VALUE TO YOU – An accurate record of your equipment’s vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated.
GAS HEATING
HEAT EXCHANGER will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Heat exchangers can develop cracks with age, and if they exist, there is a risk of serious illness from the toxic fumes emitted.
FLUE PIPE will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Flue pipe leaks allow carbon monoxide to escape into the home.
BURNERS will be cleaned as required.
VALUE TO YOU – Dirty burners cause poor combustion and excessive gas bills.
SAFETY CONTROLS will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Safety controls that do not operate can cause dangerous problems.
SECURE ALL PANELS.
VALUE TO YOU – Loose panels can increase operating costs and cause carbon monoxide to be drawn from the combustion chamber.
BLOWER WHEELS will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Dirty blower wheels reduce airflow, causing longer operating time, reduced comfort, and increased costs. This problem can also lead to compressor failure.
AIR FILTER will be replaced at customer’s option.
VALUE TO YOU – A restricted air filter wastes energy and shortens system life.
THERMOSTAT will be checked as required.
VALUE TO YOU – Defective or improperly calibrated thermostats affect comfort and operating costs.
MOTORS will be inspected.
VALUE TO YOU – Dirty motors use more energy and will fail sooner.
CONDENSATE DRAIN will be checked.
VALUE TO YOU – Debris can plug a condensate drain, which can lead to expensive water damage.
TEMPERATURES AND PERFORMANCE will be recorded.
VALUE TO YOU – An accurate record of vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be immediately eliminated.
