And the Check A Pro Radio Show starts now. I'm taking what they're giving because
I'm working for a living.
Hey, hey, hey, everybody. It's Check A Pro Joe.
Welcome to the Check A Pro Radio Show. You know, here in Houston,
it gets real hot in the summer and it is summertime. One of the hottest summers on record.
And I have got a guest here today in the Checker Pro Studios to help you keep
(00:25):
your house cool, comfortable, and to save you a whole bunch of money.
And his name is David, and he's from Horizon Air Solutions.
You've heard him here before on the program. David, how are you?
Oh, I'm doing amazing, Jim. How about yourself? Hey, I am living the dream.
Thank you so much for joining me here on the program.
I love what you guys do. You help my listeners be more comfortable in their
(00:50):
home and also save them more money.
And I'm just going to explain what I mean by that, because a lot of people People
don't think about that when they're thinking about their air conditioning system.
If it's running well, if it's running and it's optimal, it's efficient,
you'll save money on the air conditioning electric bill portion of your power bill.
And a lot of people don't get that. Dirty coils, low refrigerant,
(01:15):
you can go down the list of all the things that might not make it efficient.
And if it's really bad, well, David and his team can replace an air conditioning
unit that you have with something more efficient, which will ultimately save you money down the road.
That's right, Jim. We're excited to help out the community. We already had the
pleasure of meeting some of the callers.
(01:36):
So we're definitely doing everything we can to take care of everybody. buddy.
Yeah, I've had some feedback and everyone says that you are doing a great job
out there for them. And it's so important here on Chukka Pro Radio.
I don't allow any contractor to come onto the radio show unless they're going
to do an outstanding job.
I am kind of tough about this. I'm going to give out David's phone number from
Horizon Air Solutions right now.
(01:58):
Write this phone number down or better yet call because eight of you,
eight of my listeners today are going to get a fantastic deal,
including one year of free air filters.
I'll get to the deal in the moment. Here is the phone number.
I'll be giving out the number a number of times during the program today.
281 720-3456 is the phone number.
(02:22):
281-720-3456. Don't worry if you didn't get the number.
I will be repeating it again shortly.
David, I want to thank you so much for you and your team to offer what you're
offering, because this is huge. Listen up, everybody.
$100 off your air conditioning system 28-point evaluation.
(02:42):
David and his team are going to come out and do an evaluation of your air conditioning system.
Even if you have a couple systems, a couple units, $100 off. It's ordinarily $149.
Only $49. But wait, there's more.
I love this, and only eight of you are going to get this, by the way.
I love this part of the deal. deal you're going to get free air filters for
(03:08):
one year a value of four hundred dollars.
Absolutely free when david comes out that's a phenomenal deal thank you buddy
hey jim you know what it's a blessing that to have a expert like yourself recognize
us and to be able to to pass on the blessing to the community as well it's so
important to do the right thing and you know david David, I don't know if you know this,
(03:30):
but I started this business almost 20 years ago,
here in Houston because I, as a homeowner, didn't trust contractors.
So I came up with this idea of putting together the best local home service
professionals in Houston and putting them on this website, checkapro.com.
And then I got on the radio and said, hey, this is what I'm doing.
(03:52):
And the community has really, really been drawn to it over the decades.
For those of you who listen to me on a regular basis and have been for the past
20 years here in Houston, you know how important it is to have a pre-qualified
home service professional such as David and his team at Horizon Air Solutions.
We check insurance licenses and references.
Back to the deal, though, 49 bucks.
(04:15):
Now, for $49, it's hard to go out to dinner with the missus and the two kids for 49 bucks anywhere.
Like even the fast food place, like Chick-fil-A, I think $49 on a Friday night
might get pretty much exhausted if you have three kids and mom and dad easily, right?
But for 49 bucks, instead of the 149, you're going to get a 28 point air conditioning
(04:42):
inspection on your systems in your home.
And you're going to get free air filters valued at $400.
In a moment, David, I want you to explain to everybody some of the 28 points
you're going to inspect, but I want to talk about HCP first.
Almost sounds like something official like the police department,
(05:03):
but that would be something else, right?
HCP is Horizon Care Plan, and that's a club that you guys have for my listeners to join.
It's only $16.50 a month, and you'll get priority when you call in for something,
and you get 20% off all labor and materials, but you're giving away one month
(05:25):
free. Talk about the HCP.
Yeah. So, you know, that's a membership that allows us to come out,
inspect your unit, make sure it's running in tip-top shape, make sure that there
isn't anything that's going to be a surprise in the hottest day of the year.
You know, because that's usually when these things tend to break down.
It's that 4th of July day when you have everybody in the house and all this
(05:48):
heat building up in there.
So we come out before the summertime, make sure that everything is running in tip-top shape.
Same thing in the wintertime before you really start to kick on your heater
as there's you know a lot of important things that are in there that we want
to make sure that's not in the air as well,
i think it's important to be part of a club such as this hcp horizon care plan only 1650 a month,
(06:11):
david's going to pay for the first month of this for you and you're going to
save 20 off all labor materials going forward and you'll get priority so on
a really hot day when it's busy and people
are having trouble with their AC units, you're going to be part of the program,
part of the club and get priority for $16.50.
That is a great insurance plan for sure. And it is great to be part of a club.
(06:35):
So I had mentioned a 28 point inspection for only $49. It's a hundred bucks
off, usually $149 for the general public, but for my listeners today, only $49.
Tell my listeners, David, a couple of the items that you're going to check when
you do the 28 point inspection. Thank you.
How dirty that coil is outside, if your drain lines are plugged up,
(07:00):
if there's any electrical mechanical failure that's about to occur,
how clean the filter is, all of these different things that can make a huge
impact on how well that unit works for the homeowners.
It's really actually simple if you're an expert like David is because he knows
what to look for. and some of this stuff is stuff you could do yourself if you were trained to do it.
(07:28):
The coils need to be cleaned. Now, something that you really can't,
and that's possibly something you could do yourself, and you should make sure
the coils are not dirty because dirty coils are going to make things less efficient.
But something that David and his team do that you really can't do is when they
connect the meters to your system and they check things like refrigerant,
okay? That's something you just don't mess with.
(07:50):
And he'll be able to tell you a lot about the efficiency of the system because
you may have found over time that year after year, the system just isn't cooling
or dehumidifying as well as it did in previous years.
And it could be because your refrigerant's low, right?
That's right. You know, dirty filters can cause that.
(08:12):
A plugged up coil can cause that. If the ducting design is off and the unit's
been running very roughly in a short period time frame, that can cause some
imbalances in how well that unit works.
So a number of things. We like to look at every home uniquely,
making sure that we give our clients a wholesome approach so they can get the
(08:36):
results they're looking for and the service that they deserve.
An old air conditioning system can be maintained and operate almost as well
as it did 10, 15 years ago.
But one of the biggest differences is it's going to begin to fail here and there.
And the cost of replacing coils and motors and all kinds of different components is going to add up.
(09:03):
But something we haven't talked about yet today is the difference between a
15-year-old system and a new system today in terms of technology.
So a lot of people say, well, yeah, my system is 15 years old and it's got duct
tape everywhere and we're keeping it going and we have to put refrigerant in
every year because it leaks.
And OK, that's like an old car leaking oil.
(09:24):
New cars are more efficient. They get better mileage.
They're safer, right? So we tend to get rid of the old car after a number of
years. The same is true for air conditioning systems.
They're so much more efficient today. Multi-stage units, they're not just coming on and going off.
(09:45):
They come on and go off in a certain pattern. Can you talk about that?
Yeah. So in that pattern, Jim, what's going on is you have a fancier thermostat,
a little bit more state-of-the-art. It's grabbing the heat load that that thermostat is facing.
So it tells it, hey, I need to operate at 25% or 35%. And it keeps that utility
(10:09):
consumption low as it maintains the comfort in that household.
But, you know, Jim, another thing to add on to your analysis there with the
efficiency factor of the units.
Like, yeah, you know, we can spruce it up, get it as factory fresh as possible.
But the thing is, the metals will deteriorate over time.
The efficiency is just slowly deteriorating with that equipment.
(10:33):
So, you know, a system that's 10 years old can very easily lose four SEER out
of what could be possibly a 10 or 14 SEER rated equipment.
So there's only so much you can do with those older systems.
We try to the best that we can do to take care of that homeowner.
Um, but at the end of the day, you know, we're, we're there to serve them.
(10:55):
We're there to pass on the blessing and, and to give them, uh,
uh, a horizon, if you will, on, on the outcome that they can receive after doing business with us.
Yeah. You can't afford to lose four seer out of a total of 14.
It's just too much. Right. And, and so, you know, I was thinking about old cars,
you might see an antique car refurbished and I guess you can do the same thing
(11:17):
with air conditioning systems, which means you would strip it all the way down.
You would clean all the metal.
You might have to put some metal back on it. You might have to coat it in things
because, you know, you can see a nice like 1957 Vette on the road.
Well, trust me, that Vette's been rebuilt piece by piece and it cost a fortune to do it.
It doesn't make any sense for you to take your air conditioning system apart
(11:38):
and rebuild it the same way it was in 2001.
You want one that's built in 2024. It just makes sense.
So for the people who say, look, I can't afford an air conditioning system,
what would you say to them?
Well, what I would say is let's take a look and see how much savings we can take advantage of.
We could possibly be paying the majority of what that monthly payment could look like.
(12:02):
So let's take a look at those options, see which one is the best fit,
and kind of move forward from there.
Yeah, some great financing options. You're going to save money every day and
be a lot comfortable in your home with a new air conditioning system.
When we come back, talking more about the deal, here is the phone number to
get the deal, though, 281-720-3456.

That's not what I was called as a boy, though.
Jimmy was my name. My name's Jim Clouk, a.k.a. Checker Pro Joe.

the homeowner, my listener, find pre-qualified home service professionals like David Rostron.
David, welcome back to the show. How you doing?

they call HVAC, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
It's that system we need so much here in Houston to be comfortable in our homes.
It's not just to reduce the heat, but it's also to regulate and basically reduce
the humidity in our home so we're comfortable.
(16:19):
I'm going to give out the phone number and then tell you why you need to call.
Then I'll give you out the phone number again.
So you can call 281-720-3456 is the phone number.

(16:40):
system, 28 point evaluation.
So it's only $49, not 149, only 49.
It's a hundred bucks off. it's actually better than

air filters at no cost absolutely free

(17:00):
free month of their horizon care program the horizon care plan that is valued
at sixteen dollars and fifty cents you're going to get a free month of that
so really ultimately throughout the year,
this is going to actually be more than free because you're going to get all this value.
And when David comes out, he's going to go through these 28 points to determine
(17:25):
how well your AC is going.
And chances are something's not going to be as efficient when he arrives,
but when he leaves, it'll be more efficient.
And you're going to have actually air conditioning units, the system running
more efficiently and saving you more money and being more comfortable.
And if he finds something that is alarming, he'll bring it to your attention.
(17:48):
That's right, Jim. We take pretty good pictures of how those units look.
You know, if you don't want to go into the attic to see it with us,
we'll show you on our big iPads.
Yeah. And, you know, that's a great feature because a lot of my listeners don't
want to go up into their attic.
I don't like going up into my attic unless I need to, especially this time of year.
(18:09):
And for you to be able to take photographs, bring, you know,
pictures and or video down and show me on an iPad, that's very beneficial.
What are some of the things you might be showing my listeners on that iPad after
you come out of the attic?
Essentially, the environment your unit's going to be working in,
how the insulation levels look in the attic, how the ductwork look in the attic,
(18:33):
if there's any microbial growth that's growing around the equipment or inside of the equipment,
how clean that coil is, you know
how how impacted your your blower's turbine

So why do you like David so much going out to meet the listeners?
I mean, what's the difference between meeting a Checker Pro radio show listener
and someone who just calls you from some other like lead source?
(21:13):
As you said earlier, Jim, you know, you pre-qualified us.
So you know the level of quality and attention to detail that we're going to provide to our clients.
And that's something that is super important when you're about to make a decision
on what to do with your air conditioning system.
For the folks who don't get the opportunity to hear us on the radio or don't
(21:33):
look us up, they just look for any company in their area.
You just don't know what you're going to get. But here with Horizon,
I'm the comfort advisor here.
And if you ever get a chance to look at our reviews, you're going to see how
well we take care of our clients.
So we're excited to meet anybody from all walks of life and looking to do whatever
(21:56):
we possibly can to bless them in their home and their air conditioning.
Yeah. I just heard from Jerry, who is the engineer of the program.
He's monitoring these calls because we actually do have a tracking system.
And he says, we only have four left, David, unfortunately.
So we started off with eight, three went quickly, then one more.
So now we're down to four. Call now, 281-720-3456. By the way,
(22:20):
thank you, Jerry, for letting me know.
281-720-3456 is the phone number.
If you've just tuned in, you're like, why should I be calling?
It sounds good. It is good.
Save $100 off of your 28-point evaluation on your air conditioning systems at your home.
Not $149 today, only $49 on Chukka Pro Radio.
(22:42):
David is offering up free air filters for one year on top of this. That's worth $400.
Absolutely free to you by calling 281-720-3456. And of course,
last but not least, the Horizon Care Plan, known as HCP.
(23:03):
It's only $16.50 a month, but David's going to throw this in absolutely free for the first month.
David, talk to our listeners a
bit about the importance of belonging to a membership club plan like HCP.
You know, there's so many different things. You get discounts on repairs or
anything that you might want to do to your unit to make it better.
(23:25):
You get priority level service.
I mean, that's just some of the stuff that we included with it,
along with the five star experience.
That alone can really make the difference when it comes down to something going
on with your system in a moment's notice.
You give us a call and we see how quick we can get out there to that home.
(23:45):
I'll tell you, it's great to be part of a program for anything mechanical,
whether it's your vehicle or your air conditioning system.
Even for ourselves, we'll also possibly purchase a health care plan,
a dental plan, even insurance for our dog, pet insurance, right?
So why aren't we taking care of something that's so critical?
(24:07):
You know, it really kind of blows my mind, David, where people will be reactive
instead instead of proactive with the mechanics in their home.
What I mean by that is they'll wait for something to break.
So the AC stops working Sunday at 1.13 p.m.
Family's coming over for the barbecue.
(24:29):
I guess we're just going to have to be outside and we don't have a swimming pool.
Let's get, you know, let's fill the kiddie pool so we can all sit in that and
stay cool. Well, come on. That's, that's crazy.
If David had been out there earlier in the season, he would have been able to
most likely find something and prevent it. So that's being proactive.
As a matter of fact, you know, one could actually call this 28 point evaluation,
(24:56):
a proactive active 28-point evaluation because you're going to find some things
in some instances that may be a problem.
In most cases, possibly not, but it's like going to the doctor at a certain
age, and David's younger than me, but a certain age, David, you might want to
go to the doctor maybe after you're 40, 50 years old.
(25:16):
Go to the doctor annually so they can test some things to see if maybe something's
deficient so they can give you a heads up instead of you going and saying, I'm not feeling well.
And they say, oh yeah, you've had cancer for six months, I guess here,
instead of us saying, we think you may have something, let's start preventing it.
That's right. That's a hundred percent. You just don't know what you don't know.
(25:39):
And when it's too late, that's when it hurts the most.
281-720-3456. Love the phone number. It's easy to remember the 3456.
281-720-3456. The reason why we like to give a phone number out here on Checker
Pro Radio, honestly, is because of the personal touch.
We all want to talk to a human being and a human being will answer the phone.
(26:04):
Unfortunately, sometimes our human beings get overwhelmed with the number of
phone calls that come in. So be patient.
If you don't talk to someone live, just leave a message and you'll get a phone
call back a little bit later.
Today. 281-720-3456. We'll be right back right after this here on Checker Pro Radio. Stand by.

Say hello, David. Hey, everybody. It's great.
It is great to have you here today on the program.
Before we get into more of the 28-point inspection for only $49,
(30:13):
it's 100 bucks off, by the way, everybody, not $149, but only $49 today.
Tell me, and my listeners, what areas of Houston do you guys generally cover geographically?
We're going to cover the Woodlands, Cypress area, Katy, Humble,
Pearland, Sugarland, Missouri City, just really the Houston and greater Houston
(30:39):
area. We really go everywhere.
Just the other day, I went as far as Galveston. Oh, did you really? That's a hike. Yeah.
Yeah. And so if you're listening to the program today, you're likely to be in
their service area. you.
You can check them out on checkapro.com is Horizon Air Solutions.
Just go to checkapro.com and you can find them under the air conditioning tab.
(31:02):
You can also find them on Google, go to their website as well.
And here's the phone number to call now, 281-720-3456 to get $100 off the $149
$29, 28-point air conditioning system evaluation.
That's crazy. You'll also get one free year.
(31:23):
Of air filters valued at $400. So you're going to get a $400 value and they're
going to connect you with the Horizon Care Plan with a discount up front.
They're going to pay for the first month. It's fantastic.
But only three of my listeners will get this. David, you know,
we started off with eight.
Five lucky listeners have taken advantage of having an appointment this coming week.
(31:50):
281-720-3456 if you want to be part of the lucky three.
281-720-3456. If there's something you don't want to take advantage of now,
you can still call and schedule it out for a little bit later in the summer.
Or if you just don't want to do it right now, put the phone number in your phone,
(32:14):
because when you are one of those reactive people instead of proactive,
David will still take your call. What do I mean by that?
You haven't taken him up on this offer right now, but something breaks.
You're going to call him then.
That's fine. Put it in your phone. Horizon Air Solutions. David is the comfort advisor.
(32:38):
281-720-3456. Put on your phone now, 281-720-3456.
You won't get the deals, but you'll get the service that you deserve from a
fantastic company in Houston, Horizon Air Solutions.
We talked about some of the 28
points that you check. I know we don't have that listing in front of us.
(33:01):
Let me guess, based on my experience, some of the things you're going to do.
You're You're going to come out.
You may turn off the main power to the air conditioning unit so you're safe,
and you're going to start looking at things.
You're going to check that fan, the blower fan right there on the system,
make sure that that is working properly.
It comes on when it needs to to pull the heat out of the system,
(33:23):
of the coils. You're going to check to see if the coils are dirty.
You're going to hook your equipment up, your meters, to make sure that everything's
running well in terms of is it running efficiently?
Are they low? on refrigerant. I mean, you're going to pop your head up into
the attic and take a look at the system there because there's two major parts of the system.
One is in the attic and one has to be outside.
(33:46):
What have I missed? What's a real obvious one besides the filters?
You touched a little bit on low refrigerant. One of the visual things that we look for is oil residue.
Just like a car that leaks oil on cement, on pavement, it's going to leave a
stain when a system is leaking refrigerant, it's going to leave an oil stain
(34:08):
in the general area where that leak is at.
So we also look for things like that to get ahead of what's going on there and
help out that homeowner.
So something else I do as a homeowner, and I would expect you to do the same
thing, is when you're in the attic, you're going to look at that pan.
It's often a metal pan that's underneath the air conditioning unit.
(34:32):
And that is designed to keep any moisture that is not going where it's supposed
to go out of your house, right? So not into the sheetrock.
Explain what that pan is and what you're looking for to make sure that it's
doing its job right as an air conditioning system in terms of draining.
(34:53):
Yes. So that is called your emergency drain pan.
That should be bone dry
and your unit should be properly draining that also
has a particular tilt that is
supposed to allow the water to drain out of
it so we're looking at that at that as as well to make sure that it's it's set
(35:17):
up correctly for you because if not just like you said jim we'll experience
drywall damage and sometimes you know we have such great paint in our walls
that we don't know that it's even leaking.
So all that is very important to look at.
And if you have a leak, it won't be called drywall anymore. It'll be called wetwall.
(35:38):
And it will most likely be a wet ceiling, but it could also go down your wall as well, literally.
And so what we're talking about here is when the AC unit's working so hard,
especially in humid conditions, it is pulling moisture,
a fair amount of moisture, out of the air, onto the coils, and it's supposed to go out a drain.
(35:59):
Drain and often that drain will end up in a
bathroom or something just going into the waistline you don't
even know it's there most of the time it's often in in a bathroom somewhere
in the house then there is the backup and the backup is if for some reason those
drains are backed up or clogged or for some other reason it'll go into the pan
(36:20):
which isn't the end of the world,
if the pan is clean, not dirty, and the water can drain out at a good rate into.
The last resort, which will be usually a white, maybe another color,
PVC-type pipe, that's going to take the water out a different way,
(36:41):
often right through the attic and out an eave or something.
It'll just drip down the side of your house, but it's safer that way.
If you see water coming out of your roof or something and it's not raining or
out of the attic, you may have a problem.
But if that then isn't operating well, you really have a problem.
That's when you get the wet drywall.
(37:04):
Yeah, 100%. Another thing, too, when those units run and it is,
you know, every bit of 105 degrees outside.
And we have those thermostats cranked down, you know, anywhere between 70 to 75 degrees.
That unit can sweat in that attic yeah duck work can sweat and so uh it's another
(37:25):
thing to keep an eye on maybe it's a performance issue or it could be a design
issue from the duck thing so it's super important to to keep all that into account
when we're experiencing things of that nature,
If you notice that there's moisture or rust or some corrosion,
something that doesn't look right, something that looks like there may have
(37:48):
been water at some point in that pan,
contact David immediately because there shouldn't be.
And there may have been at some point, and that's fine. Maybe they rectified
the problem years prior.
But that needs to be looked at. Here is David's number, 281-720-3456, 281-720-3456.
(38:11):
We're going to go to a break. Now, when we come back, we're going to give away the rest of these deals.

And welcome back to the
checker pro radio show i am checker pro joe
(41:37):
love doing what i do talking to all of you each and every week here on the radio
program in houston texas where i started this program almost 20 years ago joining
me today is david rostron from horizon and Air Solutions. He's a comfort advisor.
Here I am looking at my notes.
(41:58):
It's getting on in the show apparently here. David, it's so great to have you here on the program.
David's number, 281-720-3456.
Call that number now. There's only one of these offers left.
Now, many people tune in later in the program.
They're wondering what Checker Pro Joe is offering today on his program,
(42:21):
and that is a 28-point air conditioning system evaluation.
28 points, not $149, only $49, $100 off only here on Checker Pro Radio.
You've got a call during this hour on the radio show, but wait,
there's more, $400 worth of air filters,
(42:43):
a year's worth of air filters, absolutely free, and you'll get a free month
of the Horizon Care Plan,
or what they call HCP, and that will put you first in line when you call for
any type of work, and you're going to get 20% off all labor and maintenance.
(43:03):
That's a lot there, David. Hey, we love taking care of the community.
We love what we do just like you, Joe.
That's the level of quality and service we want to provide. You can call me Joe. It's okay.
You see, it's starting to catch on with you. Most of my listeners know me as Checker Pro Joe.
I have two different names, and all I can say is don't call me late for dinner,
(43:25):
but you can call me anything else you want.
281-720-3456 is the number. 281-720-3456.
David is a comfort advisor at Horizon Air Solutions.
I love that title. all. It's not just David the tech.
He's a technician, but a comfort advisor tells you that they really care at
(43:50):
Horizon about your comfort.
It's not just a technical thing. It's a comfort thing.
It's the right amount of getting the house cool and getting the humidity out.
Maybe in some instances, getting the humidity up, which is almost never the
case in Houston, but you never know how it's cycling, right?
(44:14):
So every air conditioning system is different. Every home is different.
And the way the system was designed.
It was designed for the house at the time the house was designed and built,
but things may have changed.
So David needs to make sure that everything is still in sync,
(44:35):
that that air conditioning unit or units is still the right size and the right type for the home.
Because if you go and add another 500 square feet to your first floor and you
haven't taken into account your HVAC system, there could be a problem. Right, David?
That's 100 percent, Jim.
(44:56):
You know, back in the day when we were using the old refrigerant R22,
those systems were different to our 410A units today.
And so, you know, airflow is critical. Design is critical.
Square footage is critical. And so what we do here at Horizon is a heat load
calculation to make sure that that system is doing what it's designed to do
(45:21):
fit for that house and that customer.
Yeah. We've said this before, too.
If you're planning on having a lot of company over, let's say you're having a party and it's August.
Could be almost any month here in Houston. Let's say it's August.
Pretty much the hottest month you're going to get in Houston.
July and August are the hottest months.
The house is designed for six people.
(45:42):
Decent-sized house. Designed for six people to be living, but you're going to
have 18 people, 20 people, 30 people.
I have a recommendation. Drop the AC thermostat down as low as you can and start
to refrigerate that house.
But don't expect it over hours to keep up with the body heat.
And that's just the way it is. There's nothing wrong with your air conditioning
(46:05):
system necessarily in that instance.
But you want to give it a head start by dropping it down as low as you can get
it, because when the body heat comes in with the ambient heat from outside,
you're going to run into a problem, aren't you? Oh, yeah.
100%. 100%. That system is doing everything that it can with the body heat,
(46:26):
the heat that is outside.
And if it's not in pristine shape, something's going to give. Yeah.
Hey, call right now, everybody, to get your free air filters for one year valued $400.
281-720-3456. Again, a little slower. 281-720-3456.
(46:47):
2-8-1-7-2-0-3-4-5-6. Drive carefully, by the way, everybody.
A lot of you I know are on the road and we don't want any incidents.
2-8-1-7-2-0-3-4-5-6. Not only will you get a free year of air filters,
you're also going to get a 28-point air conditioning system evaluation.
(47:10):
Discounted from their regular low price, actually, of $149, which is a great
price to have a comfort advisor come out to your home to begin with.
But David from Horizon Air Solutions is taking $100 off of that for my listeners,
giving you a year of air filters for free, $400 offer there,
(47:31):
and a free month of their HCP program, Horizon's Care Plan.
Again, before the end of the program, go over the Horizon Care plan.
Priority level service, 20% discount on repairs and modifications.
You get a cooling inspection.
You get a heating inspection.
(47:52):
Service fees are waived. After-hour fees and weekend fees are waived.
So it's really a membership to take care of the client and their home. That is phenomenal.
281-7203. Oh.
So Jerry's talking to my ear. He's our engineer. He also watches the phone calls
(48:14):
coming. And David, he said we're out.
Oh, man. Eight are gone. I do this on occasion.
I hate to put you on the spot. Can you offer two more to make it instead of
810 today so we can get two more people taken care of with their air conditioning system?
Absolutely, Jim. Let's do it. Okay. So two more.
(48:36):
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. The first eight went. So call now,
281-720-3456 for these bonus ones. Once that is done, it's done.
There are no more. You can call David anytime you want after at 281-720-3456,
but I cannot guarantee you he's going to give you a free year of air filters
(49:00):
worth $400 or $100 off your air conditioning system 28-point evaluation.
So you got to call now. The show's about to end.
281-720-3456. Things do kind of get busy with the phone.
So be patient. If David's team cannot answer the phone right away,
(49:22):
just leave a message and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
If you get through and you can leave a message, you are one of the first 10.
So that's good. So if you get through, David and and his team will guarantee
that you will get the deal.
Call now, 281-720-3456.
(49:45):
281-720-3456. I have to tell everyone who's listening, this is so important. It's so important.
Your air conditioning system needs to be in tip-top shape.
It's going to be another record-breaking summer.
There's some issues with that. It's not healthy to be in a hothouse.
(50:08):
And if you want the house cooled down, you might be in a big,
long line if you're not part of HCP, Horizons Care Plan.
And if you get your AC checked out now, get the evaluation now,
it's likely your system won't fail in the heat of the summer on that day that you don't want it to.
(50:30):
It's kind of like when your tires are getting bald, get them replaced before
you get a blowout or before you hydroplane and have an accident. Let's be proactive.
Get the tooth filled before you have to get a root canal.
I mean, seriously, right? And David, I see you laughing because you agree.
(50:51):
100%. 100%, Jim. Just get it done while you can.
And it's going to cost you a whole bunch more than 49 bucks when something breaks.
I mean, it's clear as day.
Don't go to the Mexican restaurant or Chick-fil-A or wherever you're going to go for the $49 this week.
Give it to David and his team so they can come out, give you a free year of
(51:15):
filters, and check out your system for not the $149, but the $49.
Only... Oh, Jerry says one left. Okay, one left. 281-720-3456, 281-720-3456.
David, as always, I really appreciate you coming onto the program and being
(51:38):
the air conditioning expert.
Hey, Jim, thank you. You are a blessing as well. All right.
Everybody, we'll see you next time right here on the Checker Pro Radio Show.
Show. Get a hold of David.
