Episode Transcript

(00:01):
Check A Pro Joe here on the Check A Pro Radio Show so it's
time to replace your air conditioning unit and the
question is is how long does it
take to do it two hours or two days or
somewhere in between Brandon Day
is joining me from day cool heating and air to answer
that question hey Brandon no all right

(00:23):
the easiest answer to that question is
for normal what we call a change out in the industry half a day depending on
what's being done it could take if it's just a little outside unit two three
hours if it's whole system inside out four to six hours in an attic takes longer.

(00:45):
Um you're slower coming through the home if
you're doing duct and such that usually takes a day or two um because
you got a demo and and working in a existing home it's
hard to keep everybody's valuables and when you work slower
because you're trying not to damage anything throughout the home um so
that's it doesn't take that long i mean we do two or three

(01:06):
changeouts a day yeah um
if everything is relatively common
and normal it shouldn't take that long um easier
to take it out the old one putting in the new one may take a little while longer
but you guys have been doing this for a very long time it becomes routine for

(01:27):
you and your crew right yeah oh yeah We have processes and systems that's put in a box in a box,
you know, a box, a square box, and a square hole.
Where we try to excel is in the customer service to be better than anybody is
leaving somewhere cleaner than when we got there.

(01:50):
Or the process of during the change out, the communication to the customer, stuff like that.
Because it's kind of can be intruding in people's private homes trying to do
that and do it efficiently. Do it right. Make sure everybody's happy.
I agree. The last time I had a complete change out, two units,

(02:12):
a three-ton and a five-ton upstairs, downstairs.
We did it in November, which I think was a good time of year,
because when you do it in July and August or September, that's a real tough
time of year in your neck of the woods, my friend. Right.
So it's I would recommend to people to do it in what I call the off season, like the winter.

(02:37):
Because you can pretty much get by without heating and air conditioning longer
than you can do without having air conditioning in the summertime.
What are your thoughts on that?
Well, being in the air conditioning business, I don't want you to wait.
Secondly, but no, it does. That is good for us, but it never works out that way.
Anybody we see is hot, and they want gold quick.

(03:02):
And the humidity here, you can lick the air in Mobile, Alabama.
It's sticky all the time. so imagine that
in an enclosed house with no air movement so uh
yeah we i would like it
would in optimal yeah it would be great to wait till November
then uh we still have a lot of hot people in July and April yeah and people

(03:25):
do react to things instead of planning for things same thing with building a
swimming pool people get the idea on May 15th well if they had thought about it in In September,
they could have had a built over the wintertime and they'd be ready for the spring and summer.
And so the point of that is, is make sure your systems are maintained.

(03:45):
Make sure you think ahead. You don't want any surprises.
Brandon, as always, thank you so much for joining me today on the program. Thank you for having me.
