    Why HVAC rebuilds beat full replacements

    Give Use A Shout HOST A: For about twenty years, the standard advice in the HVAC business has been, if your system is over ten years old and you need a major repair, just replace it. New equipment is more efficient, the warranty starts over, you are throwing good money after bad. Replace. HOST B: That was the playbook. Every contractor said it, every consumer guide said it, every HGTV segment said it. I'm Dave Hartzell at Hartzell's Heat & Air in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. 45 years in the trade, Master HVAC license.

    The $339,000 reality of home maintenance

    Why Your Air Conditioner Is Too Big

    Give Use A Shout HOST A: Quick pop quiz. If I asked you how a contractor figured out what size air conditioner to put in your house, what would you guess? HOST B: Honestly, I would guess they look at the square footage and divide by something. Like four hundred square feet per ton, or whatever the rule of thumb is.

    Your attic is stealing your cold air

    Give Use A Shout HOST A: Here is the part nobody tells you when they sell you a brand new air conditioner. You can buy the most efficient unit on the market, the highest SEER2 rating, all the bells and whistles, and still lose almost a third of your cooling before it ever reaches your bedroom. HOST B: A third. That is a number that should make people sit up, because we are talking about real dollars on the electric bill. Where is it going?

    Beat the 24 hour mold clock

    Give Use A Shout HOST A: Question. Severe storm rolls through Oklahoma. Rain dumps three inches in two hours. Some water gets in the basement, or the laundry room, or under the back door.

    Stop wildfire smoke with your HVAC

    Give Use A Shout Smoke rolls into Kingfisher from a panhandle grass fire or a controlled burn three counties over, and your HVAC is either pulling that poison into your house or keeping it out. Depends on three settings most homeowners have never touched. This episode covers what to do at the thermostat when the air goes brown, which filter actually catches PM2.5, and the one move I see homeowners get wrong every smoke event in central Oklahoma.

    Why Your Airtight Home Is Suffocating You

    Give Use A Shout I see a lot of new builds in central Oklahoma where the house is so tight the air inside ends up worse than the air outside. Sealed envelopes, taped seams, every gap caulked. Great for energy bills. Bad for what your family is breathing. If your house was built after about 2010 and you have not added mechanical ventilation, this episode is for you. I cover what an ERV does, what an HRV does, when you actually need one, and why the bath fan running for ten minutes does not count.
