Dear Friends,

A national survey recently revealed that the number one indoor air quality (IAQ) concern for homeowners was excessive dust.* The presence of airborne allergens, viruses/bacteria and mold/mildew also caused worry.

In most cases, all of these problems can be traced to leaky ductwork. If you have a leak, your return ductwork, which takes the air inside your home back to your heating or cooling system, will draw air from places like garages, attics and crawl spaces. This can result in:

• Dust, mold and mildew spores being circulated throughout your home
• A loss of as much as 40% of the heated or cooled air moving through your home — this forces your system to work harder, and you end up paying more

We can inspect your duct system to identify problem areas and seal leaks with our Aeroseal process. Besides significant energy savings, you’ll be more comfortable. Well-sealed ductwork reduces allergens by ensuring that all conditioned air passes through filters. Sealed ducts also improve air circulation so temperatures are more even. Uneven temperatures are the most common complaint in homes where there are significant duct leaks!

Warmly,
David O’Connell

Some customers ask us if they should get an A/C system tune-up every year, or just every couple of years.

That’s like asking whether you should brush your teeth every day or every other day. Every equipment manufacturer requires regular maintenance to keep warranties valid. It’s that important.

Regular tune-ups prevent a wide range of problems that can lead to breakdowns and expensive repairs. Tune-ups keep your cooling system operating at peak efficiency, which helps you save on electric costs. If you have our Air Conditioning Service Plan, your tune-up is already paid for.

Please call or email us today to request your tune-up.

Wilson Oil and Propane is an authorized Aeroseal dealer. This award-winning duct-sealing technology is considered to be the premier method available today!

The Aeroseal process, which is completely nontoxic, usually takes less than one day to complete and provides you with a “Certificate of Completion” that illustrates the before and after results.

We polled our service team to determine the biggest mistakes they have seen people make with their central A/C. Here is what they have witnessed over the years.

1. Overspending on efficiency. Sometimes it makes sense to spend extra for an ultra-high efficiency system. Sometimes it is not worth the cost. It depends on your total energy use and the trade-off between up-front cost and savings.
2. Choosing the wrong contractor. It’s not the equipment, but the quality of the installation that makes the biggest difference. You can invest in the best system in the world, but if your contractor installs it improperly, you will not get the comfort and savings you paid for. What’s more, it can be a nightmare trying to get them to stand behind what they sell.
3. Not understanding all the options. Today, there are lots of ways to get the ideal system for your home. Wilson Oil and Propane is large enough to give you lots of different options for your budget and physical space. If you have more choices and good guidance, you are much more likely to live “comfortably ever after.”
