A Number One AC Tuneup For Dallas
Imagine it’s well over a hundred and ten degrees on a July afternoon in Plano, Texas – then picture having to do an AC tuneup under such conditions. But that is exactly what A#1 Air and Appliance of Carollton, right above Dallas, does each year, and all throughout the year, providing HVAC services to the twelve-county Metroplex region, second-hottest behind the Mojave Desert Basin that straddles Arizona, Nevada, and California.
An AC tuneup is standard work for the experts at A#1 (pronounced “A Number One”), but the weather conditions involved are also routine for them. It’s north Texas, after all, hundreds of miles from the Gulf Coast, and no one expects fine weather all the time. Putting up with what ever it takes to get the job done – and done properly, or it’s free for the customer – has taken A#1 from a local husband-and-wife start-up to one of the region’s biggest HVAC firms with well over a hundred employees.
Obviously, even July doesn’t last the whole year long in Texas, even if it is the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area, and A#1 offers product sales and parts along with service, maintaining strong relations with the major manufacturers in the industry, brand names like Amana, Carrier, and Honeywell. All the same, AC tuneup and repair must be pretty tough given the distances involved, nearly nine hundred square miles of land to be covered – larger than Rhode Island and Connecticut combined, or almost the size of the whole state of New Hampshire!
As could be imagined, such an area must be quite the economic dynamo, and in fact it is ranked sixth in gross output among all U.S. cities and tenth in the world. Somewhere in that statistic is A#1, covering all the region 24/7 the whole year round.
