WESTLAND, MI - JULY 12, 2007 - Thieves appear to have discovered a new
way to make a quick buck by stealing air conditioner units or A/C
parts. One simple product, however, could be the solution to this
ongoing problem without costing A/C unit owners a fortune in insurance
premiums or high-tech security products.
AC Watchdog, a unique A/C security alarm system released in 2006, is
bringing relief to homeowners and business owners. It is also taking
thieves by surprise with its unusual alarm mechanism. With the prices
of copper and scrap metal on the rise, A/C unit theft and vandalism
has increased dramatically in recent years. Many A/C unit owners are
fed up and fighting back with deterrents such as AC Watchdog.
With no monthly security alarm bills and a low-cost installation, AC
Watchdog has given a new affordable hope to A/C unit owners. Joe
Wojtowicz, AC Watchdog's creator, wanted to develop a system that
could work for everyone without a high cost to them. While working as
a technician for Majestic Heating in Detroit, Michigan, Wojtowicz
received several calls from customers whose A/C units had been stolen
or stripped.
"I saw their frustration when they realized they had to replace their
A/C unit with a new one. Many people cannot afford to replace an
expensive item such as this on a whim. Some are elderly people,
families with children... people who must have an air conditioner at
all times during hot weather," states Wojtowicz.
Unfortunately, thieves find A/C units to be a quick and easy target
because the units are often located in hidden spots behind homes or
business buildings and are often placed out in the open with no
protection. Even if the entire unit is not stolen, thieves will often
remove valuable pieces of copper or scrap metal from the unit and sell
the materials to make a quick buck. This usually destroys the entire
unit. Though the thief makes a hundred dollars or so, the owner of the
unit might have to pay thousands of dollars for a replacement.
AC Watchdog works to fight this crime in a unique way. The alarm
system is connected to the refrigerant line of the unit. When the unit
is tampered with and the refrigerant lines are damaged or broken, the
alarm triggers a loud siren that is placed inside the home or
business. With minor adjustments to the originally-developed system,
the alarm now even calls the owner of the unit automatically with an
alert. This works well for units that are installed at new home
construction sites, businesses, or homes that are secluded from
neighbors where no one is nearby to hear an audible alarm.
"AC Watchdog will also alert the owner when the unit needs repairs.
This could save them money on their electric bill or save the unit
from further damage when it is broken," says Wojtowicz.
Wojtowicz is working with HVAC contractors and technicians around the
United States to be able to provide AC Watchdog protection to
everyone. The unit must be installed by a technician, so he is using
online resources as an outreach method to find dependable contractors
in every area.
