Beat the Heat this Summer with a New HVAC System with A-1 American!

Kimberly Bradley • June 7, 2024

A-1 American's GM, Meg Savell, recently had the opportunity to sit down with the Hampton Roads Show to talk about different ways to "Beat the Heat"!

One particular caveat that came from that is the announcement A-1 American is offering $650 OFF ANY NEW Air Conditioning and Heating system through the month of June!

We all know that Hampton Roads weather is kinda crazy, 90 degrees one day and the next you're bundled up around a fire, but in the Summer time we ALL know what to expect. Heat and Humidity!

Air Conditioning Tune Ups

Most people try to make the best of Spring before they turn on the Air Conditioner, Mini Splits, and HVAC units, but if you suspect that you may need more than just an average tune-up, we urge you to give us a call now. Once the heat sinks in--and let's face it--it's pretty much here to stay already, our service board gets backed up with people that have pushed off getting a new unit until the last minute. And if you are suseptible to heat or have a condition that could be exaserbated by the weather, it's even more important to get your home system checked out!

Take the time to check around your home, inspect your ceiling where your air handler may be. If there is condensation present and/or stains spreading across your ceiling, you need to give us a call sooner rather than later! The last thing you wantis your ceiling coming down on top of you or a family member.

Hot Water Heaters

Also, just because the focus is on the HEAT, don't forget about the largest container of water in your home, you're hot water heater. Hot water heater's need maintenance just like every other household appliance and unfortunately most hot water heaters are out of sight, which means they are out of mind.

In the Hampton Roads area, we are not known for the quality of our water, and quite a bit of sediment, rust and debris can build up inside the unit. That is water that your family is possibly drinking, but most definitely bathing in. Not to mention washing your dishes and clothes. This is especially important for people with any kind of skin condition.

And remember, we aren't just A-1, we are A-1 American!!

Happy Labor Day from A-1 American Services!

September 1, 2025

First, a little background on Labor Day and how it came to play into American history. Labor Day is celebrated to honor the contributions and achievements of American workers and the labor movement. It recognizes the role of workers in building the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country. The Holiday began in the late 19th century, during a time when working conditions were often harsh—long hours, unsafe workplaces, and little time off were common. Labor unions pushed for better conditions, fair wages, and reasonable workdays. The first Labor Day parade took place in New York City in 1882, organized by the Central Labor Union. In 1894, after years of growing support and following major labor strikes, Congress officially made Labor Day a federal holiday. It’s observed on the first Monday in September, serving both as a tribute to workers and as a symbolic “end of summer” celebration. Not to be confused with International Workers’ Day which is celebrated May 1st worldwide and focuses more on activism and workers’ rights, Labor Day focuses more as a tribute to workers with family time, picnics, parades, and community events like our concer series at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Hampton Roads -- which encompasses the Penninsula (Williamsburg, Newport News, and Hampton) AND South Side (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Suffolk) has always been a working community, from the shipbuilders at Newport News Shipbuilding, to the longshoremen at the Port of Virginia, to the military and civil service workers who keep our bases running. Labor Day really ties into that history because it’s a reminder of how much the region’s workforce has shaped the local economy and even national security. For many families here, Labor Day is also (for the lucky) the last long weekend before school starts, so you’ll see people heading to the beach at Virginia Beach, picnicking at local parks, or attending community events. It’s both a recognition of hard work and a chance for people in Hampton Roads to pause, recharge, and enjoy the fruits of their labor before the busy fall season kicks in. From the A-1 American Services family to yours... Please have a safe and happy Labor Day!! And if you find you need help with any clogs, water heater leaks, HVAC hiccups, clooged toilets our guys are standing by ready to help you and your family at a moments notice!
