    Hey,

    Nice to meet a local HVAC expert. I'm a Trane TCS dealer, but my focus isn't on selling equipment, it's on selling the company. I also thought that placing myself as a dealer for one single brand may disqualify me for other brands in the minds of customers.

    Great advise on the A/C units, I tell my clients to do the same thing but like you said liability limits what I can list.

    I just got the monthly subscription for $19 a month, not too bad. I'm going to start working on these images. Thanks again!

    Very nice. I am not an expert by any stretch, more of an average person who might use your site. Easy to navigate, contact info readily accessible, and attractive.

    Gives the overall impression of quality and professionalism.

    This that and the other thing.
    That's a really good point of view to have and I respect that! We are an Elite Tempstar dealer but we can get the customer which ever furnace they so choose, but when they see the price difference they usually change their minds pretty quick hahaha. being a dealer we can obviously get and give a better price on the furnace we deal haha I mean realistically a furnace is a furnace, pretty much all the same parts inside. I find what a lot of people don't realize is that every manufacturer has their entry level/builder model furnace, mid range furnace (2 stage) and higher end unit (modulating).

    It's a decent site, and it works well on a phone. Install some SEO plugins, and get on google analyitics (it's free and easy to tie into your site). Start working your way up in the search engine results.

    Exactly, and the honest truth is that it's not the equipment, it's the contractor that makes the difference.

    Do you have any suggestions on the SEO plug in? I'm not having much luck.

    I just changed the image on my home page and the "about us" page. What do you guys think?

    Crop your header photos similar to your contact map and it'll make it much easier to navigate each page. You could even just cut em down 20% and that would make a substantial difference. I have sub-par internet at my shop and I honestly though my browser froze on a photo.

    update the copywrite date
    on some of your pages, i think the text needs to be not fixed. as when i land on the page, i dont always see what page i am on.

    I also seem to get some google api error in the console, it doesnt seem to cause any visual issue, but its some 400 error for the style sheet.
    Capture1.jpg

    overall seems like a clean page for a AC page lol. as said above, this seems way ahead of anything else out there.
    my biggest issue is the main images and text, the text being overlayed on the images should be dynamic on placement depending on screen res.

    10-4 on the copyright page.

    Do you mean the header text? When I visit the "why do a/c's fail page" I'm not receiving any error messages and the text displays across the image.

    I see it only when i run a smaller screen size. say on a laptop. as it looks fine on my 28" monitor in full size.
    try looking at it in FF and not in the wordpress logged in state.

    Trying not to mention anything others have said. The only thing I can really suggest is test functionality of your contact form to ensure it works.

    Maybe your social media icons don't look as sharp, specifically, YouTube. Top of Twitter icon is cut off on my system too.

    FWIW, there are web apps out there that will screen shot how your site's resolution looks like on various devices.
