DO NOT USE Air Around The Clock. I was charged $ 175.00 for a repair call on a saturday to repair my A/C. The Tech. came out and said that my Compressor unit was ""SPEWING FREON"" from the copper tubing. He quoted me $ 1,700.00 to replace just the outside unit. I asked if the leak could be Brazed, The Tech. no way. When I asked about the current units factory warranty of 10 years, He told me it was only 5 years.\r
\r
I scheduled a replacement with them only because it's the summer and 90? plus heat. I talked to a neighbor, who recommended another (much smaller) company. Their tech. came out and took one look and said it can be repaired. He brazed the copper tubing, charged the line let it sit for 30 minutes to check the repair. then he purged the line and recharged to the correct amount of freon, then he let the A/C run for 1 hour with his test guages attached and walked me through what the pressure levels on the guage said . The Tech. spent 3 hours at my home and only charged $ 150.00 total!\r

The Tech. stated that my Trane A/C is still covered under the factory 10 year warranty for the compressor and is a 12ser. He stated if it was a 10ser then it would be worth the change to a higher effecent unit in electric usage, but the current unit I have is a good unit and effecent enough to warrant keeping it as I should get many more years of reliable service.\r
\r
The Tech stated that to many A/C companys have hired Techs, that are out to take advantage of people to make extra money by replacing and selling service that are NOT needed, just to pocket 10% of the sale in commission. It's as bad as car mechanics!\r
\r
I saved $ 1,400.00 by seeking a second opinion and yes my old A/C cools my house (it's cold). I'm not happy with AIR AROUND THE CLOCK. The $ 175.00 I paid for them to do nothing but to try and rip me off is my fee to advertise them as a bad company to do business with.\r
