Avoid The Energy Suckers!

Energy-Sucking Contractors (Watch your wallet, utility bill, and the atmosphere!)

We don’t often talk about our competition though we realize you have a lot of choices in the area for selecting a <qualified HVAC contractor>. But please be wary of contractors can suck the energy out of you, your energy supplier, and even suck cash from your pocketbook! While many low-cost contractors may seem to be saving you money on your HVAC system work, please make sure they are not cutting corners by illegally releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC’s) that are used as air conditioning and heat pump refrigerant have been linked to the destruction of the earth’s ozone layer. Our promise to you and the planet is that Kimmel Heating and Air Conditioning will NEVER release refrigerant into the atmosphere! All of our technicians are expertly trained and certified in the proper techniques for recovering, recycling, reclaiming and disposing of used refrigerant. 


Some contractors never recycle old freon, furnace equipment, air conditioning units and sheet metal. Though it costs us storage space, time and fuel we do our part to recycle while others dump into the atmosphere or landfills. Please ask us about furnace and AC unit recycling!
