Morris Jenkins Heating & Air Conditioning News and Tips

Regional Efficiency Standards
posted by Dewey Jenkins: Tuesday, July 31, 2007 | 0 Comments | Permalink

Every couple of years someone makes a legislative proposal to Congress to impose regional efficiency standards on heating and air conditioning equipment. On the surface the argument makes sense. Of course an air conditioner in Florida is going to perform differently from an air conditioner in Maine. However, once you go beneath the surface and see the nightmare that regional efficiency standards would create in the manufacturing and distributing aspects of heating and air conditioning you soon come to understand that whatever efficiency might be gained by the regional standards would be made irrelevant by the effect it would have on the efficiency of the manufacturing and distribution processes. The end product would no doubt use less energy but the costs required to manufacture equipment to the specifications of eight different standards versus one standard would far offset the savings. The same goes for the distribution process. Distributors shift inventory from one location to another based on demand. With different regional standards a distributor would no longer be able to pull inventory from a North Carolina warehouse if Florida has a hot summer. This would result in each local distributor having to carry more inventory. So not only has the cost of manufacturing increased but the cost of distribution has also increased. In the end you are left with a significantly more expensive specialized product that does not even come close to saving enough energy to balance out the excess cost required to produce and distribute it.

Customers for Life

Simply because you use us for service one time, it would be easy for us to think that you are our customer for life. I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't. You lead a busy life. You don't sit around thinking about heating and air conditioning. In fact, a couple of months after having their air conditioner repaired, most people don't remember which company they used.


So our goal is to make your experience with us a positive one that will keep you coming back again and again. How do we do that? First we treat you, your time, and your home with the respect that they deserve. We promise to complete the service to your satisfaction and when mistakes happen (which are inevitable in a service business), we make it right.

But we want to do more. We want to give you the power of knowledge. That is why this blog was created. What a great place to share information. I am excited to see what shape it takes in the coming months. Please check back often for updates or subscribe today!

Yours for Service,
Dewey Jenkins
