Breakdowns in cold weather

[coolments]

Hi Sline
As most of our business is comfort cooling a lot of our calls have been to customers who havent had maintence done or cancelled earlier in the year and units not heating efficiently mainly due to blocked filters & also people who depend on the AC for heat but leave it off over night and the units are struggling to warm the room up in the morning, we advise them to instead of turning it off at night just turn it down so the rooms dont get to cold over night.
I have noticed though last month a sudden increase of maintenance contracts being accepted and a decrease in sales of new kit, must be the credit crunch and people wanting to keep what they got running as best as it will. what about you, what are you finding.

And yeah Brian why dont we get some serious snow anymore instead of the over night stuff that turns to slush next day, i want to take the kids sledging.
