Give Use A Shout

HOST A: A customer in Yukon. 1700 square foot single-story, decent insulation, normal ductwork. Three replacement bids. Bid one quoted a 3.5 ton. Bid two quoted a 4 ton. Bid three quoted a 4 ton plus an air handler upsell. HOST B: And the house actually needs 2.5 tons.

I'm Dave Hartzell at Hartzell's Heat & Air in Kingfisher, Oklahoma. 45 years in the trade, Master HVAC license. On Cool Talk I cover the stuff central Oklahoma homeowners actually need to know about heat, air, and indoor air quality.
