WHY DOES THIS HOME SUCK

Why must we pay the tax man?

One of the great many questions of our modern world, one that’s been perplexing & testing morals of good men since the introduction of Taxes so many years ago. My own concerns surrounding this dis-favorable topic would be paying too much taxes [Boo, Whaaa!!!]… Or worse, paying too little taxes, thereby inviting the Pesky Tax Man into our offices to investigate our financial records [ekes, Yikes!!]…

Our most recent dilemma occurred when we hired a professional contractor to provide some work on our own property… The preliminary negotiations and written proposal produced by the contractor stated that our cost’s would be $3,000 in totality… Imagine our disdain when the work was completed, and the irritating invoice announces a belated “Tax Bill”,, [$200 additional dollars to pay these frightful tax men]… Quite frankly, I was much more annoyed by the UN-named contractors lack of disclosure on this subject during preliminary negotiations. What is a moral & thoughtful person supposed to do now ? ! ? !..

We began asking questions, as follows…

Dear Sir:

Thank you for the wonderful work that you provided on our property… We have some concerns with your invoicing & billing practices in relation to the “Tax Bill”… Understand, we are pretty sure that your company accrues exorbitant over-head costs, plus all the labor associated with these kinds of jobs, plus we expect that your company would be making a fitting profit on this kind of work ? ! ? ! ?

CONSIDER: We must conclude that your materials costs are only a “Portion” of your accumulative costs… We just cant wrap our moral, thoughtful minds around paying taxes on all your overhead & labor costs… Worse, why must we pay taxes on your companies profit margin… Why would “WE” as good moral thoughtful Americanized business owners ever volunteer to pay the government any more taxes than would be our lawful due… Are we missing something ! ? ! ?…

Consider, we do not charge our customers taxes on our projects,,, perhaps we should charge taxes on the materials we use, as I know we certainly do pay taxes on materials… I think these cost should be included in the sales persons proposals…… You said your company just likes to “Roll It All Up” into a bigger belated number, then charge sales tax on these higher sums ! ? ! ? I say lets UN-roll it and pay taxes on the materials only… QUITE FRANKLY [dear sir]: We feel that your company should not be doing business this way… If your company wants to pay taxes on these higher inflated numbers, then we believe you should be disclosing this when you write up your proposals…

IN CLOSING [Dear Sir], we do NOT intend to put you on the “Hot-Seat”,, ultimately we might choose to pay whatever costs that your company feels is due. And we intend for our concerns to meet you in “Good Fun & Friendly Quip”… We only ask, that you forward our concerns to your accounting department, lets request assistance with these increased costs. perhaps your people may relent on this apparent miss-appropriated, non disclosed fee which seems to be masquerading as a sales tax.

In summary: American HVAC includes all taxes [if any], inclusive in our primary price, as well any additional costs or fees shall be clearly stated on the bid… Thank you, from the management of American HVAC, Genuine Heating & Air…

Does your home have a ducting or air flow deficiency?

Not surprising, duct-work being the “Unsung Hero” inside almost every home in this country. With ducting located out of site, out of mind, usually hidden behind the walls and ceilings of our homes, things can be a challenge… Often times, poor construction practices will dictate that these less favorable aspects of a home take a lower priority in the building process… Along comes the hottest & coldest days of the year, and we’ve got all these houses that do require significant improvements in terms of adequate heating & cooling ducts… Poorly installed inadequate ducting inside multiple level homes is one of the biggest problems we see in the heating & cooling industry. These problems are compounded with remodel projects that occur over the course of years and decades… Another typical challenge we see are older homes built in the earlier half of the 20th century, these types of homes were designed for antiquated “Heating Only” not meant for modern air conditioning systems… Along comes modern heating & air conditioning during the second half of the century, and now we have all these older buildings that were never equipped with ducting designed to assimilate with modern heating & cooling equipment… The result will be a home that is extremely UN-comfortable during the hottest & coldest months of the year.

The Solution: Prioritize The Ducting In Your Home… Unfortunately, this will NOT be a welcome venture for most home-owners. Considering the costs, the noise, the dust, and the intrusions required when opening walls to install adequate ducting… Proper installation of a modern heating & cooling system with all the associated ducting required will take planning and commitment… Often times the seasons change, the storms will pass, the hottest or coldest days of the year do subside. As a result, motivation to prioritize ducting in your home can dwindle for a period of time… Until next year when we receive another phone call concerning the same house, [sometimes different home-owner] exclaiming once again that the house is UN-bearable…

American HVAC, Genuine Heating & Air is the company that provides “Free Bids” on new equipment… Free In House evaluations & consultations when you are considering replacement of your old furnace or air conditioner… American HVAC is where the Owner Answers All Calls & Provides All In House Evaluations… Personable service provided by the owner is key. As such there are times when we must prioritize/re-categorize “No Cost” consultation work… Please call for availability, and note: occasionally we must ask for a nominal fee to provide evaluations & consultation work… Diagnostic evaluations, or consultation meetings as low as $49, always credited to the repairs when the work is provided…
