Welcome, Gates of McLean Residents!

Our Friends at the Gates of McLean,                                                                  

With fall on its way, the cooler weather is too – so now is the time to schedule your HOA-required heating inspection and safety check! Whether you’re a maintenance agreement client, or you’ve purchased a one-time inspection, we want to help ensure that your system is running at full capacity and efficiency throughout the fall and winter months.

MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS
Our custom maintenance agreement provides benefits and savings exclusively for the Gates of McLean residents. For $168 annually, this option includes two seasonal inspections per year, one spring and one fall inspection.
• Fall inspection includes: a full checkup of the water heater, air handling unit, a condensate line flush,
installation of a new air filter, and additional cleaning if needed.
• Spring inspection includes: a full checkup of the water heater, outdoor unit, a condensate line flush,
installation of a new air filter, and additional cleaning if needed.

In addition, maintenance agreement clients will also receive priority dispatching, 24-hour emergency service, and a 15% discount on all plumbing, heating, and air conditioning repairs. If your existing agreement is up for renewal, you will receive an email reminder and mailed copy of your renewal invoice.

ONE-TIME MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
Trademasters offers a one-time maintenance inspection for just $98. This inspection includes a full checkup of your water heater, air handling unit, a condensate line flush, and installation of a new air filter. The one-time inspection does not include the same discount benefits or priority dispatching as the maintenance agreement mentioned above.

DOES YOUR AIR CONDITIONER USE R-22?

If your system is nine years or older, there’s a chance it uses R-22 refrigerant. This product is being phased out and because of the limited supply, prices will continue to rise. The EPA has completely banned manufacturing and importing of R-22 as of January 1, 2020. As your professional contractor, our goal is to provide you with a safe, comfortable and energy efficient alternative.

As a resident of the Gates of McLean, you will receive exclusive discounted pricing for a new heating and cooling system. With the purchase of a new system, we will include one year of free maintenance (one spring and one fall inspection), exclusive discounts and priority service. We register all equipment and monitor all warranties. We offer 0% interest financing and pre-season manufacturer rebates and discounts may apply. If you would like more information on a system that is efficient, safe and will provide more comfort for your home and family, simply give us a call to schedule a FREE estimate.

HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS & STAYING PROACTIVE
Your water heater works twice as hard as other appliances in your home, it provides your home with hot water, and it plays a key role in providing your home with heat during the cold months.

HOW DOES MY HOT WATER HEATER WORK?
The Gates of McLean indoor air handling units contain both heating and cooling coils and circulates the cooled or heated air through the condominium. The outdoor unit, an air conditioning condenser, is connected through refrigerant piping to the cooling coil inside the air handler. The water heater, in addition to providing the hot water for the home, has a side loop that connects to the heating coil inside the air handler. The air moves across the coils and is heated or cooled before it is circulated through the home.

HOW CAN I KEEP IT WORKING PROPERLY?
Maximize your water heaters lifespan with proper maintenance and achieve approximately ten years of usage. As with any other home appliance, replacement is inevitable. Act proactively to avoid unnecessary hassle, and reduce the chances of property damage to your home or belongings. We suggest buying and installing replacements during normal business hours to avoid paying higher after hours and emergency fees. Stay ahead of any damage or inconvenience and schedule an estimate with Trademasters.
