Our Customers Want Comfort All Year Round!
As the season change and you go from wearing shorts to your snuggest cardigans, much like the weather, your home goes through its own changes to meet the comfort levels of your family. A commonly overlooked home appliance that is routinely neglected as seasons change remains to be the air conditioner and heating system. For homes with Air conditioning systems that are older, finding low-cost solutions to maintaining their system can not only prove to be money-saving. It also allows your system to function at its top performance when you need it most.
With Air Conditioner systems built to last an estimated 10-15 years, a seasonal tune-up reviews the component parts that make up your system as well as measure the pressures to ensure that levels are accurate and not a result from a leak or faulty equipment which can contribute to energy consumption throughout the season.
The common repair on older units typically involves replacing component parts that have either been worn out through use or a malfunction caused by neglect of parts such as the coils, filters, drains, and motors. Routine maintenance plans over time become more useful in maintaining a working AC system. When wondering about the benefits, location is of course a factor to consider. If you reside in northern states that experience colder winters than hotter summers, there will be less strain expected from your Air Conditioner since heat advisories are less common and temperatures are milder.
Areas like Central Texas experience temperatures above 105 degrees and heat advisories throughout parts of the summer demand more of your Air Conditioner. Older systems will find it challenging to keep your home cool year after year and overtime needs help. Here is a list of what to expect from one of our low-cost maintenance seasonal tune-ups.

It’s hard to see the future without a crystal ball. As a homeowner, it is impossible to predict when their AC system will need repair. Maintenance plans are a good way to ensure that a professional is giving your system the needed attention to improve your indoor air quality for your family’s home throughout the season. Catching problems early on will save money not only by attending to the issue before a system failure but in costs spent on hotels, portable units, emergency service fees or pricey emergency repairs.
