Dear Building Contractor:

Avoid costly litigation with HVACR subcontractors by hiring me, John Rocheleau, to inspect your sub’s work… before you pay his final invoice. For only $199, I can give you a ‘performance insurance policy’ by exposing the truth about the design, contract document, and system installation down to the last detail, if necessary.

I’ve been involved in nearly every aspect of heating, ventilation/exhaust, air conditioning and refrigeration for 28 years – the last 20 self-employed as a designer, installer, service technician, consultant, successful inventor of heating components, and expert witness in New Hampshire Superior Court.

My analysis and testimony in a recent case cost nearly $4,000, and my client won a $200,000 judgment. As you know, litigation is expensive, and the aforementioned suit could have been avoided had the builder hired someone to expose the system defects before the HVAC sub got his final payment.

Once you’ve made the final payment without a prior inspection by an expert, you’ve lost the leverage you once had to guarantee performance by your sub.

If the design and/or installation are flawed, increased service and operation cost will be the rule. Don’t subject your reputation to this, or needlessly spend time putting out fires, because of an inattentive subcontractor!

Also, include my inspection while selling jobs to prospective clients, as a competitive advantage.

In my estimation, roughly 40% of systems consume excessive amounts of energy commencing the day they were first turned on. Usually because the design was inept and poorly thought out, and/or because the installers cut corners by using too small a pipe or duct diameter, inappropriate controls were chosen, or the equipment was too large in capacity to begin with. For example, I ask this no-brainer of a question: Will a tractor trailer truck transport you to the grocery store to do your weekly food shopping and back? Of course it will, but at what expense for fuel? Who needs to drive there in such an expensive vehicle that consumes so much fuel, unless, of course, you are shopping for a National Guard Battalion? Well, that’s analogous to having too large a boiler or air conditioning system in your home or place of business. Another good analogy is that if your hvac equipment is too large, then it will perform too quickly and soon shut down, then come back on, then shut down again, then come back on…you get the idea. That example compares to city driving vs. highway driving. Once your car overcomes inertia and is up to speed on the highway, and cruise control has been set, it requires much less fuel than if the car was constantly stopping and going and repeatedly overcoming inertia.

These are simple examples of poor fuel economy, but with 28 years in the business, I can demonstrate endless others. Suffice to say, if 40% of all systems’ energy consumption can be reduced, then is yours among them? Protech can evaluate your system for as little as the cost of one hour of labor – $85. You could save that amount many times over if you take corrective action by allowing us to make changes to your poorly designed or installed hvac system(s). Should you become aware of your hvac system efficiency?
