Today a delivery driver walked in and said:

"I've had this route in Arcadia for 3 years and I've been waiting to deliver here! I read your sign every day and I've been dying to meet you guys!"

We had to laugh.

Over the years we've had people honk, wave, stop by, and call to tell us they read our sign, but this one might be our favorite!

So now we're curious...

How many of you read it?

If you've ever slowed down to see what was on the sign, give us a honk, a wave, or drop a comment below! 👋🚗😄

Can I make a small-town observation?

Every time someone asks for an A/C company, electrician, plumber, roofer, lawn service, or just about anything else on Facebook, the comments fill up with businesses from 30, 40, sometimes even 60 miles away.

Meanwhile, we have hardworking people right here in Arcadia who get up every morning, employ local people, pay local taxes, sponsor local teams, donate to local fundraisers, and spend their money right here in our community.

This isn't about one company. IT'S ABOUT ALL OF THEM!

Before hiring someone from another town, take a minute to see if there's a local business that can do the job first.

When local businesses stay busy, those dollars stay in Arcadia. They help support local families, local events, local schools, and the small-town way of life that makes this community special.

Small towns don't stay strong by accident.

They stay strong when neighbors support neighbors. ❤️

What Does Service Finance Look At When Approving a Loan?

We get this question all the time!

While we don't make the lending decisions, financing companies like Service Finance generally look at things such as:

✅ Credit history and payment habits
✅ Credit score
✅ Monthly income
✅ Existing debt obligations
✅ Debt-to-income ratio
✅ Homeownership status
✅ Overall credit profile

A high income alone doesn't always guarantee approval, and a lower income doesn't automatically mean a denial. Every application is reviewed individually.

If you've been declined, Service Finance will mail a letter explaining which credit bureau was used and how to obtain a copy of your credit report.

The good news? Applying only takes a few minutes, and approval decisions are often returned very quickly.

📞 Need a new A/C system but aren't sure about financing? Give us a call. We'll walk you through the options.

And just between us... 😆

We've seen customers with great jobs get denied and customers who were convinced they'd never qualify get approved. The lending companies are about as predictable as Florida weather sometimes.

One minute it's sunshine, the next minute it's raining sideways. 🌴⛈️

The only way to know for sure is to apply!

❄️ Fun Fact ❄️

Most people know we install whole-house air conditioning systems...

But did you know we can also order whole-house air conditioners for customer purchase?

Our systems include heat and currently start at around $3,700 (pricing varies based on size, efficiency, and availability).

Just looking to purchase the equipment? No problem. These systems are available for customer pickup, and installation would be the customer's responsibility.

Some folks want a complete turn-key installation.

Some folks already have their own plans.

Either way, give us a call and let's talk about your options.

No pressure.

No sales pitch.

Just honest answers.

Here's something to try when your A/C is down

Enter names, spin wheel to pick a random winner. Customize look and feel, save and share wheels.

⚡ Size matters.

There. We said it.

And when it comes to electrical wiring, it matters more than most people realize.

The wire feeding your bedroom lights is not the same size as the wire feeding your stove.

Your lights may only need a small wire because they use a relatively small amount of power.

Your stove, water heater, A/C system, dryer, and other large appliances need much larger wire because they're pulling a lot more electricity.

Using wire that's too small for the job can cause overheating, nuisance breaker trips, damaged equipment, and in some cases, fire hazards.

A bigger breaker is NOT the solution.

In fact, putting a larger breaker on undersized wire is one of the fastest ways to create a dangerous situation because the breaker may not trip before the wire overheats.

That's why electricians don't just look at the appliance. We look at the wire size, breaker size, distance of the run, and electrical load to make sure everything works together safely.

So if you're adding equipment, replacing a circuit, or wondering if that wire is "big enough"...

Don't guess.
