To Whom It May Concern:
In the Summer of 2002 Clauss H.V.A.C., Inc. began a project in Lodi, NJ which consisted of 12 Town Homes. Each home has it's own heating and air conditioning system which required a condensation pump and flue pipe for any furnaces which are under 90% efficiency and can not be direct vented. Due to site problems there was stoppage in work which lasted for almost two years. The buildings were exposed to the North East weather environment including rain and snow. Of course the water found it's way into the exposed flue pipes that come out of the rooftops. It then travels down the flue pipe and came to rest in the condensation pump.
Winter of 2003 came and the temperatures in this part of the country are infamously freezing, with temperatures dipping into the teens and wind factor makes it feel as though it is 20 below zero everything freezes. Needless to say all of the water that made it's way into the condensation pumps froze, all of these pumps where destroyed and had to be replaced. This led not only to increased expenses for a project which was already beyond the anticipated date of completion but unnecessary tension between the owner and my company which is the H.V.A.C. company contracted by the owner.
If I had known of your product before this happened the owner would have saved money used to replace damaged material on a project which was already behind the expected date of completion. I would have saved the extra time (we all know time is money) my already busy company has so little of, to go back and replace pumps. Also I would not have to had dealt with an upset property owner. I am going to be insisting this product be used whenever I install a system has exposed flue pipe. Not only will everyone save time and money down the road, but will gain addition praise and improve on my already good reputation as an honest Heating and Air Conditioning contractor that not only charges fair prices but comes in and does the job right the first time.
