I believe what might be happening is everyone's costs are rising and the need to service 2X a year the types of HVAC systems that we have here in the Villages is probably not necessary. Many HVAC companies are dropping this service unless you have a special situation or demand it. In fact, I don't want them putting gauges on my AC unit 2X a year since everytime they do that, a small amount of refrigerant is lost. Over many years, you possibly could loose enough refrigerant to make your system run less efficiently. Yearly service is enough. Also, as we discussed before, the service is to make sure your indoor and outdoor coils are clean and to do some checks in an attempt to prevent failures. Here in the Villages, the indoor and outdoor coils will not need cleaning more than yearly and 2X a year service isn't going to prevent any more failures than yearly. That said, Munns prides itself in servicing the customer so with the tremendous growth here in the Villages they probably don't have enough techs to do service 2x per year and they need to raise rates because of rising costs.
