Hey there, folks! Welcome to another video from Golden Rule, where we care about your comfort. I'm Bobby Johnson, your friendly neighborhood HVAC expert. Today, we're diving into a topic that's near and dear to our hearts: avoiding those pesky HVAC scams. So grab a seat, and let's get started! Imagine a sweltering summer day, and your AC decides to take a vacation right when you need it most. You call in a technician, hoping for a quick fix. But here's the thing—some folks out there are less than honest when it comes to HVAC repairs. They might try to pull a fast one on you with tactics like overcharging for simple fixes or convincing you that your unit needs a complete overhaul when it's just a minor hiccup. But fear not, my friends! We're here to help you spot those red flags. If a technician is rushing you into decisions, can't provide proper credentials, or is just plain vague about what's going on with your system, it might be time to show them the door. So, how can you avoid falling victim to these scams? It's simple, really. First off, do your homework! Take a peek at online reviews and research a few different companies before making any decisions. And don't forget to ask plenty of questions. A trustworthy technician will be more than happy to chat about what's going on with your HVAC system. Speaking of scams to watch out for, have you ever heard of the Freon flimflam? Some technicians might try to convince you that your system needs a Freon top-up, even if it's running just fine. But don't fall for it, folks! And don’t fall for a sales rep trying to rush you into decisions or scare you into forking out your cash in a hurry. Take time to understand what they’re offering and what options are included or added to your package. Here at Golden Rule, we believe in keeping things simple and straightforward. So there you have it, folks! With these tips, you'll be ready to tackle HVAC issues like a pro. And remember, if you ever need a hand, Golden Rule is just a phone call away. Until next time, stay cool and comfortable! #HVAC #AC #airconditioning To learn more go to https://goldenrulephc.com/blog/ or call 515-393-4951.

Hi, I'm Bobby with Golden Rule Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electrical. Today, we're diving into some crucial changes to air conditioning systems in 2025. With new EPA regulations around the corner, our homes are about to become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. But what does this mean for homeowners like you? Let’s explore these changes together and understand how they could impact your home and budget. The new regulations aim to increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact by requiring higher efficiency standards and the use of advanced refrigerants. This is a big win for the planet, but it also brings changes for homeowners and companies like Golden Rule who install and maintain these systems." One of the major impacts of these new regulations is a projected 20-25% increase in the cost of A/C installations. This increase is driven by the need for more sophisticated technology and stricter installation practices. While this might seem daunting, it’s important to remember the long-term savings and benefits of an energy-efficient home." Here’s some inside information: existing A/C equipment manufactured under the old guidelines will stop being made at the end of this year. Some manufacturers are already scaling back production on these older units to focus on developing the new compliant models. This shift means that the availability of current models will decrease, potentially leading to higher prices even before the new regulations take effect. So, what can you do to prepare? If your current A/C unit is in good shape and well-maintained, you might not need to worry just yet. But if you’re considering replacing your system within the next couple of years, it might make sense to do so before the 2025 changes take effect. By acting now, you could avoid the price hike and take advantage of existing models. Our goal is to educate and support you through these changes. The 2025 regulations are new, and we're learning more every month about their potential impact. Consider us your trusted partner because we treat your home like it’s our own. If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to reach out to us at Golden Rule. We're always ready to help you make informed decisions for your home and your wallet."

Hey there! Welcome to our Golden Rule DIY series. I'm Fred Horstman and today; I want to share some essential A/C maintenance tips to keep your system running efficiently and effectively. Let's dive right in! First things first, safety is paramount. Before you start maintenance on your A/C unit, turn off the power at the breaker box. This will prevent any accidents and ensure you can work safely. Locate the breaker box, find the switch labeled 'A/C,' and turn it off. Next, let's clear any debris around the outdoor unit. Over time, leaves, dirt, and other debris can accumulate, obstructing airflow and reducing efficiency. Make sure to keep at least a two-foot clearance around the unit for optimal airflow. One of the most critical components of your A/C system is the condenser coil. A clean condenser coil ensures your unit can release heat efficiently, keeping your home cool. If the coil is dirty, it has to work much harder, which can lead to higher energy bills and potential system breakdowns. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your system's efficiency Now, let's clean the condenser coil. Using a garden hose, gently rinse the coil to dislodge any dirt. Be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate fins of the coil. Now that you know how to clean your A/C condenser, let’s head inside. Finally, let's check and replace the air filter. A clean air filter is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality and ensuring your A/C system runs smoothly. Filters come in different styles. If you want to reduce dust and air particles, contact your local HVAC expert; they will have many options. Your air filter is usually near your unit's air handler, here are some examples of locations and doors. Locate the air filter, remove it, and inspect it. If it's dirty or clogged, replace it with a new one. This should be done every 1-3 months. A clean air filter means better airflow and a more efficient system, make sure it's pointing in the correct direction. Let’s flip the breaker back on, and I will meet you outside. And there you have it! By following these simple DIY A/C maintenance tips, you can help extend the life of your unit and keep your home comfortable all season long. If you ever feel overwhelmed, do not hesitate to call an expert in your area. Thank you for watching this video.
