read amazing story below dear homeowners yes its absolutely true that you can actually replace your old and probably inefficient furnaceand air conditioner for at least 1782 less than you would have to pay at another time my problem is your opportunity let me explain every year the big manufacturers of air conditioners have to guess how many to build to meet the demand of course theyre never right so they always have some inventory they must hold over until the next summer season i went to one of these companies amana and contracted for the purchase of 127 premier air conditioners and furnaces in the four most popular sizes in toronto and because of the quantityand the time of year i was able to buy them at drastically reduced dirt cheap out-of-the- season prices heres how you can get a furnace for peanuts by putting this furnace and air conditioner package together negotiating with the factory and committing to a doordie purchase agreement of 127 systems i was able to buy both the furnace and air conditioner for less than anyone should have a right to pay so ifyou buy one of these 127 new premier air conditioners but only if one of the four sizes i have will fit your house of course i am giving you the furnace and all i ask for is 446 in labour that it costs to have your system installed no obligation even after one of my home comfort advisors completely explains the installation there is absolutely no obligation if you decide you dont want to take advantage of the spectacular savingsthats okay i will give you a surprise gift worth 50 because you are kind enough to read this letter and give me a chance to solve my problem i want you to think well of 21 degrees and bridlewood even ifyou dont buy iron clad guarantee im so confident that you will save at least 20 on your cooling and heating bills im projecting more like 30 to 50 that i will pay you double the difference for two years if you dont our home comfort advisors will show you how it works there is no way you can lose your lower utility bills will help you save big and i will even double your savings if you save less than 20 if these premier systems were not among the best on the market i couldnt afford to make such a promise why this offer cant last you must act before march 31st here are two reasons why l i only have 127 matched systems in four sizes when all of the air conditioners are sold and all the furnaces are given away in a particular size thats all there are no more at this price 2 if i have any of the 127 systems left on march 31st although i doubt i will this offer still ends heres why the only reason i am making this virtually noprofit for me offer is because of the killer months my business always starts to improve by the end of march and because the furnaces cost me so little i can sell them at 2002 prices next october and november and still come out ahead give patricia our lead coordinator a call now at 416 2922121 and she will set an appointment for your noobligation home comfort survey thank you for reading this rather long letter i hope you will profit greatly because of it warmly john brqndemark general manager bridlewood heating air
