Whatever happened to the good old repairman who came out to your house, took one look at your air conditioning and pronounced it dead?
The first time we needed repair of our central heating/air conditioning we didn't know who to call but there was a small card stapled to a joist in the attic. This note indicated that on such and such a date our unit had been serviced by Roseville Sheet Metal. A telephone number was also on the card. We called the number, a repairman came within 24 hours, and our problems were solved.
A couple years later a similar but different problem occurred with the HVAC system and we again called Roseville Sheet Metal. Excellent service and no long waiting.
Carolyn felt we weren't getting a good flow of cold air on Sunday so she asked me call for a repairman. Naturally, I called our old friendly Roseville Sheet Metal who sent out the same technician we've used in the past.
After spending two hours inspecting and cleaning all the unit that can be easily reached, Skip announced that we had a somewhat weak compressor but unless our bills really jump or the A/C seems to run forever, he wouldn't suggest a major overhaul or any major replacement. He said we're getting a 20 degree gradient (cooling that much from the outside air) which should be enough for all but the hottest periods of the hottest days.
Skip just didn't want to sell us a replacement for the whole unit. Amazing.
Well I hope you tell other people about this place. If I lived in the Sacramento area, after reading your blog I'd never call anyone other than Roseville Sheet Metal. Personally, I think that's the way one should build a business.
