Get Ice Cold Central Air
for About sl4 a Week
Wouldn't it be great to have a
new. ice-cold Trane air
conditioning system in your
home? That’s good - Because
this is a perfect time to get it!
Each month, your old air
conditioner “steals'* energy
dollars from you. A new
system may cut 30% off your
energy bills.
What's that promise?
Many companies “talk"
energy savings, but won’t
guarantee it. Why? Because
installation makes the
difference! So we put our
expertise at stake --
A/C Solutions guarantees
that if you don't save al least
20% in energy use in the first
year over your old central
system, you'll get a check for
the difference! We want to be
held responsible.
Plus, you'll get our “5-Year
Worry-Free Warranty". Many
companies make you pay
labor to fix your new system
