Copperfield CourierGet at least $303 of Smart Home Value for just $89 “No way” you say. Idon’t blame you for that. But this will make perfect sense soon.

A Car in Your Living Room? Just like a car, your home’s cooling system requiresmaintenance to run well. If your system isn’t tuned regularly it’s like going…

152,000 miles with NO tune-up.

And you pay big - with wasted energy, more repairs and less comfort.

But here’s the smartest fix to that problem: Our Ultimate Tune-Up, that includes:

Condenser cleaning and 29-point written check-up. What’s the #1 cause of equipment failure? Dirt and lack of maintenance. It’s worth every penny of our normal $129 price.

Repair-Free Guarantee.If you need any repairs this summer, I’ll refund every single penny of your tune-up!

Indoor Air Review. We can inspect your air return and note any problems or contamination. $69 Value.

117% Return on Investment Guaranteed.You’ll save 117% of your Ultimate Tune-Up cost in energy this summer over last or we’ll refund your money. $105 value.

That’s $303 of value for $89.After 16 years of caring service, we know how to give you great value.

But we’re not dumb… This offer ends May 5, 2010. Summer will be on its way, with no reason to discount.

So call 281-970-5200 now to get guaranteed value with our 29-point Ultimate Tune-Up.

Better than Free Guarantee: Mystaff thinks I’m nuts for this, but, if you don’t think our service was “A-Plus”, then don’t pay us. Really. You deserve to be happy. Call 281-970-5200 now.

The Fine Print: Summer is June-Sept. Repairs must be made by us. Fair enough?
