 THE PROBLEM
|
| As of January 23, 2006, the U.S. Department of Energy is requiring
that central air conditioners and heat pumps meet an efficiency
rating of 13 SEER or above.
Most homes have systems rated at 8 or 10 SEER. When these
systems must be replaced, they will have to be replaced with 13
SEER rated equipment, which is much larger and heavier than
the equipment being replaced.
Unfortunately, to accommodate the larger, heavier equipment,
many homes will require substantial and costly modifications
to the coil, gas lines, line sets, valves, transitions, plenum, electrical,
pads, stands, and more.
Homes you sell today could be affected by this mandate! |
| THE SOLUTION |
| We are handling the 13 SEER mandate in the best way to eliminate
surprises and to bring satisfaction to you and your clients. |
|
13 SEER EQUIPMENT IS COVERED
|
|
Our air conditioning coverage will pay for the added cost of 13 SEER and any covered component needed to ensure
compatibility, whenever we determine it is necessary to replace with 13 SEER equipment. This includes sheet metal
for plenums and air handlers, the installation of thermostatic valves, and the replacement of evaporative coils, and
refrigerant lines. |
|
ALL CONTRACT HOLDERS WILL BE PROTECTED
|
| We will go beyond the terms of our existing contracts to provide upgraded 13 SEER equipment and all necessary
covered components to our existing contract holders for no extra cost. |
|
$1,000 COVERAGE FOR RELOCATIONS/ALTERATIONS
|
|
Sometimes there will be 13 SEER related costs necessary to replace roof
jacks and stands, pads, electrical, plumbing,
vents, structural components, or to relocate a system. These are
traditionally not covered under the terms of warranty
contracts. Relocations and Alterations to the home made necessary by
the 13 SEER mandate will be covered Relocation/Alterations Option
($100) up to
the aggregate limit of $1,000. |
More than ever, it is important that you protect every client
with a home warranty plan!
