FAQs

In the dusty, pollen-rich climate of Texas, it's essential to maintain fresh filters. Generally, you should replace them every one to three months, depending on the type of filter and your household conditions.

Common indicators that your AC requires professional service include reduced airflow, inconsistent cooling, increased energy costs, unusual noises, or ice formation on refrigerant lines. These are typical issues observed in our local area.

If your system is over 10-12 years old, experiences frequent breakdowns, performs inefficiently, or causes rising utility bills, it's often more cost-effective to replace rather than continue repairing.

For optimal comfort and efficiency, most residents find 74-76°F in summer and 65-68°F in winter to be ideal. However, be cautious of sudden temperature changes exceeding 5°F, as these can lead to increased energy consumption.

We recommend scheduling professional maintenance twice a year: once in spring for your cooling system and once in fall for your heating system. This routine helps maintain efficiency and prevents costly breakdowns.

Several factors could cause this issue, including clogged filters, insufficient refrigerant, obstructed vents, or a faulty compressor. For an accurate diagnosis, it's best to consult with a professional technician.

With proper maintenance, a typical HVAC system in the DFW area can last between 10 to 15 years. However, factors such as maintenance frequency, usage patterns, and environmental conditions can influence this lifespan.

Uneven temperature distribution often results from inadequate duct insulation, poor air circulation, or incorrectly sized systems. A comprehensive home evaluation can identify the specific cause and appropriate solution.

SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, measures an AC system's cooling efficiency. In Texas, particularly the DFW Metroplex, a higher SEER rating is crucial as it translates to lower energy consumption and reduced utility costs during our hot summers.
