    EPA rules end cheap AC refills

    Give Use A Shout DAVE: Somebody called me last week, said his AC was not cooling, and asked how much to come top off the Freon. I told him those days are basically over.

    Why variable speed AC rarely pays off

    Give Use A Shout HOST A: A customer in Edmond gets three bids for a new AC. Bid one is for a single-stage unit at 8500. Bid two is for a two-stage at 10500. Bid three is for a variable-speed at 14500. All three salesmen tell him the more expensive one is better. Which one does he actually need. HOST B: Depends on the house. Depends on the runtime. Depends on what he cares about. The salesman is not lying. The salesman is also not necessarily right.

    How leaky ducts ruin your air

    Give Use A Shout I need to set aside the 280-char output format rule here, because the task explicitly overrides it with a full ~2000-word podcast script.

Somebody calls me because their house smells musty, or somebody in the family is sneezing constantly, or they've got a room that always feels stuffy no matter what the thermostat says. They've already bought an air purifier, maybe changed their filter three ti I'm Dave Hartzell at Hartzell's Heat & Air in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. 45 years in the trade, Master HVAC license.

    Audit proof your AC for storm season

    Give Use A Shout HOST A: A customer in Edmond. May 2024. Hail event, golf ball to baseball size, fifteen minute pounding. He walks out the next morning. The condenser fins look like a paint-by-numbers picture somebody crumpled up. Coil is bent, fan blade is cracked, the unit is dead.
