Called and made an appointment for them to come out and recommend a new system (863-614-0473) 4/29/2009 I had One Hour Air come out and recommend a new system. Tim Swafford recommended the Premium Comfort System 15 SEER system, 48,000 BTU Split System, new 5" filtration system and Air Handler, clean ducts, 10 year parts & labor, 1 year comfort club membership. He went on and on about how great the 10 year premier warranty on parts and labor was and how One Hour Air stands behind their work. Before Tim left I told him that I couldn't find the original mailing I called in for with the $1000 off, but that I know I have it because I called them using that mailing. Tim told me no problem, just call him when I find it. Of course I found it right after he left. 4/30/2009 Installation of new system Couldn't help but notice that the installers were wearing booties, but they never took them off when outside and tracked a bit of dirt inside. Also, when they cleaned the ducts... each room in the house had debris in it from around the air vents. When they finished, no cleanup was done inside house or in the yard... and the items they removed from my laundry room (where the air handler was installed) was left out overnight. They had finished around 9pm. (I took some pictures of this) They showed me where the central air filter was and how to change it. They also removed my two air intake filters in the house and said I have a main central air filter now that only has to be changed once per year. I wasn't real sure about the one that is on the other side of the wall from the air handler. It didn't look like it was before the main filter, but they told me not to put a filter in that vent because it would cause the air handler to work harder and again explained the single air filter concept to me again. I did as they said and did not place a filter in it and marked my calendar to check and replace the main filter each year. The air in the house was nice and cold though, so I just cleaned up the mess myself. I didn't even notice the Property Protection & Client Respect Guarantee that stated if the installers didn't clean up I would get a 5 year comfort club membership at no charge. But I had taken pictures of the mess, so I figured when I call Tim about the $1000 discount mailing had been found I would let him know about the mess then. Called the following Monday, Tim is on vacation... left message for him to call me. The next week after that I called again... can not seem to catch Tim, left voicemail. Called again and explained situation and for them to have manager or supervisor call me. They said he would. 5/22/2009 My Laundry room has an inch of water in it... water appears to be coming from base of air handler, called One Hour Air to come out. They found the drain pan was cracked and repaired it. They said a new pan would be ordered and they would replace it. Looking back I can't find any workorders that show the pan was replaced, but I do remember calling them out again due to water coming from base of air handler. Hopefully a workorder can be found at the company for this. 1/15/2010 One Hour Air came out for the comfort club tune-up. They notified me it would be $199.00 for another year. I told the tech that it hasn't been a year yet with my first year of the membership. He said it was calendar year not a year from the date of install??? I reminded him that I never heard back about my $1000 discount or about the mess the installers left. He said that he would let his boss know and they would contact me. Reluctantly, thinking I had misunderstood the one year comfort club membership I went ahead and purchased another year. 9/7/2010 One Hour Air came out for the comfort club tune-up. I asked again about the air filter in the wall inside right on the other side of the air handler as was again told that I should not put a filter there or at the other intake on the other end of the house due to the single main filter at the air handler. 3/23/2011 One Hour Air came out for the comfort club tune-up. Tech told me that I needed a stay clean strip... for the life of me I can't remember what that was or what it was for. 9/29/11 One Hour Air came out to do routine tune-up. I paid for this at the time of visit. Didn't renew comfort club, since house was being sold. 7/8/2013 House has had 6 sales contracts (unfortunately none completed) on it so far and house has not been occoupied for the bulk of this time since during each sales contract the house was off the market for 90 days... A/C was only used when home was being shown to potential buyers. I check in on the house a couple of times a week and go through a routine of making sure everything is in order. The house has a sales contract that hopefully will complete this time so I was doing some general cleanup and noticed that after an hour of having the A/C on it wasn't cooling. The outside unit was running, fan in it was running and air handler inside was running. Called for One Hour Air to come check it out. 7/9/2013 One Our Air tech came out and said that a couple of components appear to have gone bad in the outside unit. And that he thinks the compressor may be bad as well. Before he orders the work to be done he needed to take pictures of the evap coils. Has to be seen to be believed! I looked at the evap coils when he had it open and I couldn't even see the coils! There must have been a 1 inch thick blanket of insulation and debris covering it. I even noted that I could see the inside of the house and carpet through the return vent that I was told repeatedly not to put a filter in. I have a closet full of filters that could have been used... (I always purchased my filters in bulk) So it's not like I didn't have any to install in that return. He told me that this would not be covered under warranty. I explained to him that I have changed my main air filter every year and even had the last year's filter still in the room, I showed him that you could see where it was dingy compared to the filter that was in the air handler (which looks brand new since at best it has seen 3 moths total usage since it had been installed. The only way to explain that much debris covering the evap coils is: 1. The water damage from the leaking drain pan damaged the insulation in the base of the air handler. Yo ucan clearly see where the insulation came apart right under the drain pan. You can also see the stains from the water line where it flooded. 2. The return vent on the inside of the house next to the air handler DID need a filter and did not go through the main filter as I had been told multiple times. 3. There is NO way that all the the techs performing the tune-up checks actually checked or cleaned the evap coils as they said. The service calls for the cracked pan probably would not have seen much debris since the system had only been in service for a month at most. You would think that the soaked insulation would have been noted and replaced... If nothing else at least to prevent mildew or mold.

FAQs for property appraisal projects in Lake Wales, FL
An appraisal is an opinion of value, so anything that is expected to boost your home value is likely to work in your favor when it comes to the appraisal. Things like improving your curb appeal, painting, refinishing floors, and taking care of minor repairs are all good investments prior to ordering an appraisal. It’s also a good idea to clear out any clutter and complete a deep clean beforehand to show your property in the best light possible.
Appraisals aren’t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it’s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.
The average cost of a property appraisal is around $355, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from $250 to $500. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn’t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.
A licensed appraiser is the only individual that can carry out a property appraisal. You should always check to ensure an appraiser you’re considering has the proper licensing from your state. Additionally, since an appraisal is meant to be an unbiased opinion of a property’s value, you should confirm that the appraiser doesn’t have ties to any other party in the sale of the property.
Anyone can hire a property appraiser to confirm the inherent value of a property, but the buyer or buyer’s lender will usually choose the appraiser and pay the individual for their opinion. It’s also not uncommon for the seller’s side in a real estate transaction to hire an appraiser in order to justify an asking price or negotiate a higher selling price.
