Patty and I have been on an information gathering journey with an experience at the end of each chapter. We decided that I would share those experiences with readers because they had to do with home repairs and remodeling.
The age old question that faces everyone is this one. It has three parts: Who knows what they are doing, will they do a good job, and will they charge me a fair price? As a result of our experiences, we were able to provide some good information for you to use. (Those articles are in previous blogs)
The single most costly expense we had was replacing our central air-heat system. Out of some seven contractors that gave us bids, we chose Quigley, and it was definitely a fine choice.
Now it's several electric service bills later, and I want you to know that it is obvious the savings in electricity usage that we have gained from the new system will pay for it in full in less than three years. On top of that, since it came with a warranty, we will save an additional $600 a year that we were spending on repairs to keep the old one running.
What's my point? It is simply this: If your AC system is five years old or more, you probably ought to evaluate if you should change it out now. It's highly possible your energy bill savings will pay for it.

Bill - You are correct. The newer models will absolutely save you some serious dollars. We have a Coop. that will offer rebates at certain times of the year when you purchase a new system. We also repalced our screens with solar screens earlier this summer that has added to a substantial savings.
