Why choose Aloha Air Conditioning?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

We asked our staff to write a few words about why they felt you should choose Aloha A/C over the rest of our HVAC competition.

Tim Flaherty responded first by writing “Loyalty, Honestly & Service Oriented“.  Tim has been providing free Estimates on replacement equipment for Aloha Air Conditioning since 1985.

Rodrick Phillips had this to say ” All of our technicians are HVAC certified and mechanically inclined. Aloha is a customer based service and repair company always looking for a way to provide the needed service while saving customers money. ”  Rod has over 40 years of experience and has been performing prevenitive maintenance and air duct cleanings since he came on board.

Edna Barry the back bone of the behind the scenes at aloha air had the following statement to add. “Aloha AC was founded on the foundation of (If you want the job done right) After 28 going on 29 years. The Aloha team has treated their heating and cooling customers as part of our family!” 

Sheree Farrier also took the time to chime in with ” Our Loyalty to our customers, Our fast response time, Our reputation and the fact that when Parts are needed We make every attempt to deliver them and get your HVAC system running again the same day!” Sheree has been the first to answer the phone for the pasted 15 years. Some may even think she’s the owner.

 Keep checking back and see what others have to say as we add them.

HVAC Air Conditioning System Dehumidistat Settings

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Dehumidistats are devices typically installed with air conditioning heating and coolingsystems in Florida homes where the home is unoccupied during the summer months.  Humidistats are installed for economic reasons to reduce the run time of the air conditioning system and therefore lower utility cost.  There is much confusion as to exactly what these devices do and on how to set them.  Here, we will take the mystery out of the vacation dehumidistat and provide help in setting the control properly.
 
Most dehumidistats are wired in series with the power to the thermostat (although some older units are wired in parallel).  The device is nothing more than a switch which closes the circuit to the thermostat when the humidity is above the setting on the dial.  It is normal to see the display go blank on a digital thermostat when the humidity is below the dial setting.  When wired in series, it takes both a humidity level in the home above the dial setting and the temperature in the home above the thermostat setting, before the system will run.  The idea is that it can be 90 degrees in the home, but unless there is high humidity, the system does not need to run (and therefore saves electricity).  When the home is occupied, the dial should be set to ON to prevent the dehumidistat from interrupting the air conditioning operation.
 
On units wired in parallel, the dehumidistat acts to override the thermostat.  The system will run when the humidity is above the dial setting regardless of the temperature.  This method is not as efficient and is no longer widely used.
 
When leaving for extended periods during the summer months, set your vacation dehumidistat and thermostat as follows:
 
              DEHUMIDISTAT DIAL: 70% (Relative Humidity)
              THERMOSTAT MODE: Cooling
              TEMPERATURE: 70 Degrees
 
We have found these settings to be best to reduce the chance of mold/mildew growth and still provide adequate utility savings. 
 
If you have any questions about vacation dehumidistats or need to have one installed, please give us a call (954) 772 – 0079.

HVAC REBATE UPDATE – Message from A. Cam Fentriss, FRACCA Lobbyist

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

 

FP&L (Florida Power & Light) Residential A/C Rebate Schedule link: Rebate Schedule.

 

Updated 04/26/12: The House Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to hear testimony today on various bills to extend the tax incentives that expired at the end of 2011 or will expire at the end of this year.

 

According to the Joint Tax Committee, there are approximately 70 tax incentives eligible for extension by Congress, many of them are targeted to help small business owners make capital investments in their businesses.

 

Members of the Congress will have the opportunity to testify in support of legislation to extend expiring tax provisions they have introduced or co-sponsored legislation this year. There is expected to be discussion of extending the tax credit for the installing higher efficiency HVAC equipment (Section 25C), construction of energy efficient homes (Section 45L), the 15 year straight line depreciation for qualified improvements to leasehold, restaurants, and retail buildings (Section 168), bonus depreciation for small businesses (Section 168), and increased expensing allowance to $500,000/$2,000,000 and expansion of Section 179.

 

As a member of the Residential Energy Efficient Tax Credit Industry Coalition, ACCA submitted testimony urging for the extension and expansion of the residential energy tax credit. The coalition is seeking a robust energy efficiency tax credit for qualified products, including furnaces, central air conditioners, and heat pumps, of 10 percent of the purchase price up to $1,000. The coalition believes that a $1,000 tax credit is generally the minimum incentive needed to motivate consumers to improve their homes by purchasing these higher-performing products, and to do so in sizable enough numbers to positively influence residential energy consumption.

 Aloha Air Conditioning Gordon S Customer Review Coral Springs Florida ac service

Mr. Gordan wrote: Rodrick Phillips services are AC units today and I agreed to have my picture taken and provide a statement for your web site.  Link this statement with my picture and thank Rodrick and your team. Within the last year I switched to Aloha AC for service and we recently installed a new American Standard, 5 ton, Allegiance 16 AC unit in our home.  I am very pleased with the service by the technicians and the management team of Aloha, but more important is the 22% saving in my FPL bill by converting to a much more efficient AC unit.  In addition, we received a $300 tax credit.  My only regret is that I didn’t replace the old unit sooner with Aloha. 

Updated 5/3/12: We have had the pleasure of Mr. Gary A from Lighthouse Point being our customer since 2005. We were surprised and are grateful to be able to share this letter

On 4/12/12 we met Janet B. she had performed a Google search for “rheem repair 33433” and chose Aloha because she has a Hawaiian back ground and the name Aloha Air caught her eye.

She was a pleasure to speak with and we tried to help her self diagnose her trouble shoot and get her back up and running. After a short time we decided it would be best to sent a technician over. She was more then happy to pose and write a comment about how we made her and her dogie feel.

This is what she wrote, “OMG COLD Thank you! Derek! Oh my Goodness, Derek was the best ever! He gets 200% above the best. He is true ALOHA man. Mahala the rocks totally! I am in love (only I am 30 years to old + he has a family) Most polite kind helpful wonderful man!! AND IT’S COLD!” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves and you can’t make stuff like this up as you can see in the picture below.

Click here Aloha Air Conditioning, Inc. to view the original posting on Facebook by Marc Walther about posted toAloha Air Conditioning, Inc. “As a former Manager of Georgian Court Apts., Inc., for over 20 years, Aloha A/C provided us with excellent service during my tenure. Our 144 Residents were grateful for the fast and reliable workmanship that we came to expect from Aloha. From day one, it was a pleasure working with Jim, Tim, Sherri, and Joey. This is one great team that had my utmost respect when I made a service call. They were always only too willing to work overtime to handle any situation for our Residents and the complex in General. Attached is a photo of the two large Evapco towers that Aloha installed a few years back, in place of the older Marley Towers. Aloha has kept them in excellent condition, as we had preventive maintenance plans in place. Besides these large units, Aloha serviced and replaced the smaller reverse cycled ones in each of the units. Joey and all Aloha Techs had a great rapport with the residents. They were always courteous and always put the customer first. It was a real pleasure working with Aloha all of those years and please feel free to contact me if you are considering a new unit (of any type) or for excellent service.”
