Okarche, on the county line

Okarche sits on the county line, and so do its crawlspaces.

Okarche straddles Kingfisher and Canadian counties about 25 miles south of my shop. Most of what I find here is a house with decent equipment and duct work underneath it that quit doing its job years ago.

The visit

What happens when I get to your house

  1. The simple things firstThermostat, filter, breaker and the outdoor disconnect. I do not open the equipment until those are ruled out.
  2. Electrical under loadCapacitor microfarads, contactor condition and compressor amp draw. If the capacitor failed I check what killed it.
  3. Refrigerant on gaugesSuperheat and subcooling against the manufacturer’s spec. A leak gets found and repaired under EPA Section 608 rules, not topped off.
  4. Airflow and coilsStatic pressure, blower speed and amps, and the condition of both coils.
  5. A written price, then you decideYou get the number before I pick up a tool, and the diagnostic is not credited toward it.

Why a duct inspection comes first in Okarche

If a house here is not keeping up, I would rather crawl under it than write a quote. I have found duct in Okarche crawlspaces hanging open, collapsed, or simply lying in the dirt, and no amount of new equipment upstairs fixes that. It also explains the smell people describe when the system kicks on. Fix what is under the floor first, then talk about tonnage.

Frequently asked

Straight answers, Okarche

Does Hartzell’s serve Okarche?

Yes. Okarche is about 25 miles south of my Kingfisher shop on Highway 81 and it is on my regular route. Same day where the schedule allows.

What does a service call cost in Okarche?

$210 flat: $99 dispatch plus $111 diagnostic. After hours is $309. The diagnostic is not credited toward the repair, and repair work is quoted in writing first.

Why does one room never cool in my Okarche house?

In this town it is usually the duct under the floor. I find runs that have fallen off their hangers or torn open in the crawlspace, so the air never reaches the register.

Should I replace the duct or the equipment first?

Look under the house first. New equipment attached to torn duct will not deliver what it is rated for, and you will have paid for capacity that never reaches the rooms.

Is a heat pump a good fit for an older Okarche home?

Often, because one system covers heating and cooling. It depends on the duct, the electrical and the house, which is what the visit is for.

Can I finance a replacement?

Yes, on repairs and installs both. Synchrony runs up to 18 months at no interest on a purchase, and I also work with Wells Fargo, Wisetack, Klarna and JB Financing.
