Just curious if anyone has tried EZs new one time efficiency service. Did it work? Is it a tune up on your system or just super freon? Tia...

Super lube.

Howdy!
Thought I would comment real quick and explain a little about EcoZapp Efficiency.

Our AC Efficiency service is able to make the refrigerant, already inside your system, much more efficient at absorbing and repelling heat. We're not adding more refrigerant, a lube, or any kind of self sealing agent into your system.


We can enable a brand new air conditioning system to work better, more efficient, and blow colder air.

We can help enable a 15+ year-old air conditioning system to work better, more efficient, and blow colder air than a brand new system.

On average we are able to enable a system to blow about 8-12F colder air.

Results will vary system to system obviously, however every system we've installed has blown colder air , and has experienced less run time than before.

We understand we're going to have a few skeptical critics. We'll be making more of an effort to post more and more of our installs' before and after pictures online with plentiful documentation .

Thanks!

I've been reading about this, since your explanation is kind of vague. As I understand it, this is an additive to the refrigerant system. What does your research show regarding less runtime and removing humidity from the home? Will this additive void the warranty of a newer system?

The studies we have show that when a unit is running with the additive, it requires slightly less energy to run the system. Also due to the colder air, the system doesn't need to run as long.

A hygrometer will show it helps take humidity out of the air. The more hot and humid the climate, the better results this gives.

This is an additive which has been used for over 10 years now, in 35+ countries mainly in the automotive industry. This makes our trucks blow MUCH colder air and improves our MPG. There is a dealership in town which can service your vehicle.

It is manufactured specifically for this intended use, and therefore a company cannot void a warranty because of so. Plus we're just dealing with the refrigerant, nothing mechanical.

Every follow-up with customers have been positive- less run time, colder air, and savings on the electric bill. These are the best studies, due to every AC system having different variables from the next.

Does this additive have a name ?

It's called Arctic Blast.

EcoZapp Efficiency is an entirely separate business than EcoZapp Pest Control.

EcoZapp Efficiency will specialize in innovative methods to increase the efficiency of buildings. Arctic Freeze is an automotive product ( mainly r-134a) that is used to add some refrigerant which may have been a little low. So Arctic Freeze is in no way related to Arctic Blast. We're distributors of the product and obviously the name of the two is a bit confusing.

Also some air conditioning companies might just not like us or the product... Arctic Blast would cannibalize some amount of sells, repairs, maintenance, and some replacements. Our service is far less expensive than replacing a system that doesn't blow cold enough air to keep up the demand.

EcoZapp Efficiency is a start-up business, where I get to start using my Environmental Design degree from A&M and all of those classes studying how to make buildings greener and reduce carbon footprints. Btw we're hiring soon in the Cypress, Austin, B/CS, and Waco areas.

What is typical install cost for a 4 ton hvac?

We sold a product called Zerol Ice by Nu-Calgon at one of the a/c distribution centers here in town. Short answer is the product did reduce friction inside the compressor and you did see a VERY small change in amp draw. I do not know of any manufactures that state "additives will not void warranty" but they do not test the oil in failed compressors either.

For one residential unit, right now is $575 ( plus tax). As long as the refrigerant does not get removed it should last the life of the unit. So far this product has been in systems for 10 years with great results. We'll be financing the install cost out as much as we can to help pay for itself faster. This includes installation from a licensed HVAC tech, and quick inspection. If something is not working well enough we will not install until the system is repaired. Most home efficiency products can take years to produce an ROI this one does not.

There has been a variety of products used to make AC systems more efficient over the years. We are not selling a product to help with oil fouling or lubrication we simply aren't putting enough of anything in to make that happen. Those videos make me cringe a little on how they're installed and the volume of product used- I don't know if their right or wrong, I just know our process is very simple.

We live in a place known as Research Valley with a leading research University down the street ( they don't just play football). We are fully aware some people will resist change and innovations, these things take time (many people still don't see the benefit on things like foam insulation, solar etc...) But please don't bash something or a product you bearly know the name of. Especially a local, Aggie owned start-up business who's owners often put 80-100 hours weeks into- That we are 100% OK with biting back on.

Can this service create a condition where the AC doesn't run enough to properly condition the air (remove moisture). If the AC system is PROPERLY setup, blowing colder air will have negative consequences outside of those extremely hot summer months. I can see humidity levels increase during March-April (some of may) and then again late Sept and October simply because the unit doesn't run as much as it should which will ultimately cancel out the added cooling. Again this is based on the assumption the current unit is properly setup.

Disclaimer - I am no HVAC expert - I just know that controlling humidity levels plays a much larger role on cooling your house and can have other negative impacts if levels get to high.

For the time being, we use HVAC contractors for the installs, similar to how home improvement stores sub out their installs. This way we always have someone very qualified to inspect a system accurately. We will be able to finance the initial cost out more and more as we grow. The ROI is obviously greater the higher your demand for cooling is. But when we come across someone paying $200 a month for cooling, it pays for itself fast! Especially if you have a 15 year-old system that just can't keep up, $575 is much less expensive than a new system- we can help alot of these people. But the comfort and difference it makes, help make the money not the only factor.

The humidity in the air drops with the product, we placed hygrometers all over our office and the humidity level dropped more than usual with the air on. But when someone opens the door it doesn't matter much anyway... If we really crank it down low, our office will feel like an ice skating rink.

It makes the system run less, but your AC system will still turn on and operate as before, it's just more efficient. If someone keeps their thermostat on 75 vs 70 for example, I doubt there would ever be much of a humidity concern, and the unit would run much less during the summer months.

Most customers usually raise their thermostat a few degrees above their normal comfort level the first night after an install. You feel the difference right away.

The product sounds interesting, and would be great if it works as advertised. However, the humidity concern raised by myself and others is a deal breaker for me.

Every property is different. The humidity can be checked very easily with a hygrometer that costs about $7.
Due to the fact that we're producing much colder air, it will take much more humidity out of the air than without the product.

If a system runs less (without our product) it could pose a humidity issue, if it was close to the threshold already. If a system runs less ( with our product) it will pull more humidity out of the air.

We can prove this in three ways:

1. A $7 hygrometer from Lowes
2. Seeing the increased volume of condensation. When we installed in our office, the water dripping off the pipe/roof turned into a small puddle. More condensation coming from unit = more humidity being sucked out of the air inside.
3. The feel of the air inside a house. It's not scientific nor measurable, but it feels the opposite of humid

If the air is 10 degrees colder, is evap. coil icing up?

This is why we inspect every unit and hook up the gauges to check the refrigerant level. If the refrigerant level is low or too high we will not install until it's fixed or repaired. Units which freeze up require some sort of maintenance, or perhaps they run for way too long because the unit cannot keep up with the demand.

Arctic Blast just makes the refrigerant much more efficient at doing it's job. We've attempted to get something to break/ freeze-up / not work, on numerous AC units and on our trucks as part of our due diligence, and were not successful.

So, we 100% understand AC companies are not going to like this product.
There are many products which Trane have probably tested over the years. We test this product in every system we've installed, and somehow we manage to ALWAYS drop the output air temperature by at least 5F, usually 8-12F. Our number is 979.314.1162 -


Something for $575 that may make that 15-year-old system run for a few more years is: 1. good for the consumer who may not have $5,000 to spend. 2. Bad for the AC company who may of lost a $5,000 sell. ( Arctic Blast is not a substitute for maintenance work/ repair work)

Let's say there is a Church or school with 20 or so 10 to 15-year-old systems, many of which can't keep up in the warmer months, most AC companies would probably recommend replacing the ones that just can't keep up. However, if we could save them X amount of money would this not be a good solution for them?


This product would simply cannibalize an AC company's sells. There's also a chance the AC manufacturers may not just have the best interest of the consumer at heart 100% of the time, but if they don't profit from any product why would they endorse it. Elon is about to go to Mars in a few years, and yet the idea of a product to help an AC system run more efficiently is too farfetched. I read and listen to a lot of books a year, and strongly believe a manufacturer ( in any industry) may not always be interested in designs, inventions, products, that may not benefit the manufacture's business/ profit margin. You can't tell me there hasn't been probably 100's of beneficial, innovations that have been rejected by a manufacturer for a Profit reason. The industry is too massive for someone to not be able to find a better way to improve efficiency via a design, product, or innovation on a monthly basis. Hopefully we'll see a Tesla A/C system with their Heat Pump in a few years as well

Every AC unit gets less and less efficient every year. There is a tremendous amount of AC's running very inefficiently. I am 100% confident it would be unethical of us NOT to promote a product that could really help so many people, and not to mention helping our Energy / Carbon footprint issues.

We have a product ( as does many large automotive dealerships in many countries) That can enable a system to 1. Blow colder air, 2. Reduce energy and 3. Improve comfort. At A&M I learned for 4 years about how to build greener buildings, reduce carbon footprints, and ways to change the way we live and do business because our society CANNOT continue our ways for another 10 or 20 years. I also know that people resist change, living in a capitalist economy change usually means disrupting another industry to some degree.

I invite anyone to read up on the light bulb industry.

Why would the light bulb industry for decades manufacture light bulbs that failed after a set amount of use, instead of engineering light bulbs which would have lasted years? To sell more light bulbs.

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act passed by congress in 1975. Designed to protect consumers and define warranty laws in which companies/ manufacturers must abide by. Relates to some Anti-trust laws such as tie-in agreements as well.

A company issuing a warranty is not allowed to void a warranty for a variety of reasons. Just because they may not endorse something (in which they benefit no financial gain from) does not mean they can just void the warranty. Especially if no damage was caused by a product. Again this is an additive meant to make the refrigerant more efficient.

Again we're more than happy to demonstrate the product to you. Just because someone tested a product before and did not like it, doesn't mean they have tested "this" product. Is it at all remotely possible they could be biased?

Is there a chance at all you may be biased? If you have not seen the actual product, seen the results, how can you make an accurate decision on whether it works as advertised? Again 979.314.1162 we're more than happy to demonstrate it and have an educated conversation based on it's merits/ results.

Above is a picture of the temperature of air blowing before and a pic of the temperature after.

* we turned on this unit ofor ~20 minutes before taking a reading. Arctic Blast was inserted into the system, and in less than 10 mins we took another reading.


We'd love to demonstrate it for you, and I'll even let you hold the camera.

Zerol Ice is an oil for lubricating the compressor as I understand. Arctic Blast is consisted of micro-particles and we only use 2 oz.

We'll film an install next week, and post it on here and Facebook , if anyone wants to hold the camera please call our office and we'll line up a time and place. We haven't done so yet because we were waiting on warmer weather.

Thanks and Gig'em !
