Hoping everyone was spared by this storm with little or no damage! As a very strong word of caution to those without power……do yourself a BIG FAVOR and turn your thermostats to OFF position and try and unplug / turn off as many appliances as possible until power is restored and stays on. This will help the power grid come back on smoothly and won’t cause too much demand when power comes on. It will also help reduce something getting burned up / damaged (like your A/C!) since the most damaging thing is when power flickers on / off repeatedly when power goes out or comes back on. This is when most things are damaged. Stay safe. If you need us for any assessment to your HVAC system, we are open for business. Call us at (504) 361-1701 or you can text us at (504) 234-3311.

PROFESSIONAL RANT / BUYER BEWARE!
We wanted to bring a matter of concern to our customers. This was brought to our attention by about 6 customers thus far. Some of our competition (we can’t name names, but their names sound like “Keefe’s, Surgi’s / Bryan’s-United and H&E”) have apparently been trying to steal and deceive our customers (by phone call) into switching to them by portraying themselves as us. Here’s how the gimmick works…….”Hello, Mrs. Jones, it’s Brian with YOUR air conditioning company. I was calling to setup your annual service. Can we set that up at this time?” Seems harmless, but they are very clever in that they don’t want to disclose their company name, only as “your air conditioning company”. Only after some of our customers pushed them to disclose who they worked for (and that took some back / forth), did they offer up what company they are with. These companies are banking on the fact that many of our customers have maintenance plans with us and are used to getting that call every 6 months. But, let’s be honest here - IT’S DECEPTIVE and IT’S WRONG. They especially prey on our older clientele who can be manipulated easier and may not suspect anything at all. I was hesitant to post about this and dismissed it at first, but it’s been bothering me. Bigger companies (not all, but most) could care less about you. It’s a money racket and they like to lure people with lowball prices and gimmicks such as this (you’ve seen those flyers for $59 check ups, right?? Yep, that’s a scam. And they WILL find a way to charge you more). You never know who will show up at your door. Frankly, many of these companies are hiring “bodies”, not competent technicians with experience, integrity and know-how. These larger companies love to push sales (by any means) and sometimes resort to dishonest things to drive the ticket price up. We’ve been behind many of them that told customers the unit was bad and it needed to be replaced. We go behind them and find it was a simple fix and they turned power off to unit. It’s all about numbers and profit. While we are also in business to make a profit, one thing we will NEVER do is lie to our customers and deceive them. We value our customers. Many of them are like family to us. Don’t be afraid to call these companies out. Just be cautious who you are dealing with. We have proudly served our customers for nearly 100 years (97 years in business) and we will continue to EARN YOUR BUSINESS the right way - with honesty, fairness and integrity.

Record-high temps like most of us have never seen. Did you know your system is designed to operate at a 20 degree temperature split??? What does that mean?? So, on a 90 degree day, your system should cool your house to around 70 degrees (pending how well-insulated your house is). But, with outside temps peaking 100 degrees, your system may struggle to get below 78-80 degrees. Please consider this. And try to raise your thermostats as high as comfortably possible. The longer your system runs, the higher your utility bill will be. Your HVAC system accounts for approximately 50% of your light bill. (504) 361-1701. www.vanderbrookac.com

BEFORE and AFTER cleaning the outside condenser coils for one of our maintenance accounts. Helpful hint is to turn the system OFF when someone is cutting your yard, as the outdoor unit acts as a vacuum and sucks air, debris, dust and grass clippings into the condenser coils, thus clogging them and restricting air, all while driving up your utility expense and reducing your cooling capacity. This can also cause irreparable damage to the unit. Did you know your cooling costs account for 50% of your light bill??? Trust Louisiana’s oldest name in air conditioning SINCE 1926.
