AO International Simplifies AC Replacement with Direct-to-Consumer Solution
Mill Creek, WA – October 26, 2023 – Tired of the hassle and hidden costs when your air conditioner kicks the bucket? AO International LLC, a Washington-based company focused on making home improvement easier, is shaking up the AC replacement game. They’re cutting out the middleman and delivering high-quality air conditioners directly to consumers, promising a simpler, more transparent, and often more affordable experience. AO International, located at 15117 Main St Ste 205-121, Mill Creek, WA, 98012-9035, has been quietly building a reputation for streamlining complex purchases. You can reach them at 678-523-8597. Instead of navigating a maze of contractors, quotes, and potential upsells, AO International lets you buy a new AC unit online and have it shipped right to your door. “We saw a real pain point for homeowners,” says a company spokesperson. “Replacing an AC isn’t just about the unit itself. It’s dealing with multiple people, confusing estimates, and often feeling like you're not getting a fair price. We wanted to change that. We’re bringing a little bit of common sense to the process.” What's Different About AO International's Approach? Traditionally, replacing an AC unit involves calling several HVAC contractors, getting in-home estimates (which can take up a lot of your time!), comparing quotes (and trying to figure out exactly what you’re paying for), and then hoping everything goes smoothly with the installation. AO International flips this script. Here's how it works: Shop Online: AO International’s website (currently under development but accepting pre-orders and inquiries – check their contact info above!) showcases a curated selection of air conditioning units, covering a range of sizes and cooling capacities to suit different homes. They focus on providing clear, straightforward information about each model, including energy efficiency ratings (SEER), BTU output, and dimensions. Size Guidance: Not sure what size AC you need? AO International provides helpful resources and guidance to help you determine the appropriate BTU rating based on your square footage and climate. They even offer a quick online calculator. They emphasize that choosing the right size is crucial for both comfort and energy savings. Transparent Pricing: The price you see on the website is the price you pay (plus shipping, of course!). There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. This level of transparency is a major draw for budget-conscious homeowners. Direct Shipping: Once you place your order, your new AC unit is shipped directly to your door. AO International partners with reliable shipping carriers to ensure safe and timely delivery. Installation Support (Key Differentiator): This is where AO International really stands out. While they don't perform the installation themselves, they offer comprehensive installation support. This includes: Detailed Installation Guides: Step-by-step instructions, complete with diagrams and photos, to help DIY enthusiasts tackle the installation themselves. Video Tutorials: Easy-to-follow video tutorials covering key aspects of the installation process. Dedicated Support Line: A dedicated support line staffed by knowledgeable technicians who can answer your questions and provide guidance throughout the installation process. Local Contractor Network (Optional): For those who prefer professional installation, AO International has partnered with a network of vetted local contractors who can provide installation services at competitive rates. The Units Themselves: Quality and Efficiency AO International doesn't just focus on a streamlined process; they’re also committed to providing high-quality AC units. They currently offer a range of: Window Units: Ideal for smaller spaces, bedrooms, or supplementing central air. AO International offers a selection of energy-efficient window units in various sizes and cooling capacities. Portable AC Units: A great option for renters or those who need to cool a specific room. These units are easy to move and require no permanent installation. Mini-Split Systems: Becoming increasingly popular, mini-split systems offer ductless cooling and heating, making them a versatile and energy-efficient option for homes without existing ductwork. AO International's selection includes single-zone and multi-zone mini-split systems. Central AC Replacements: For those needing a full system replacement, AO International offers complete central AC units with condensers and evaporators, suitable for a range of home sizes. They emphasize selecting the right SEER rating for optimal energy savings. All of the units offered by AO International meet or exceed industry standards for energy efficiency and performance. They are also backed by a manufacturer's warranty, providing peace of mind. Why is AO International Disrupting the AC Replacement Market? Several factors contribute to AO International’s potential to shake up the industry: Cost Savings: By cutting out the middleman, AO International can often offer AC units at lower prices than traditional HVAC companies. Convenience: Shopping online and having the unit shipped directly to your door is incredibly convenient. Transparency: Clear pricing and straightforward information empower consumers to make informed decisions. Empowerment: Providing resources and support for DIY installation allows homeowners to take control of their home improvement projects. Customer Service: Dedicated support lines and helpful resources ensure a positive customer experience. “We’re not trying to replace HVAC professionals,” clarifies the company spokesperson. “We’re simply providing a viable alternative for homeowners who are comfortable with a little DIY or who want a more transparent and affordable AC replacement experience. We believe everyone deserves a comfortable home without breaking the bank.” Looking Ahead AO International plans to expand its product line to include other home improvement essentials. They are also working on developing a mobile app to make shopping and installation even easier.
