We understand: life is busy, and there are always a million things that need to be done. Whenever something can be postponed until a later date, it makes it possible to do the things that are most urgent. But when it comes to air conditioner repair, you don’t want to put it off. Having repairs done promptly will protect your AC system. Here’s how.

It often takes some time to get through the process of deciding you need to replace your air conditioner, researching your options, determining what system you want to get, and having it installed. That’s why we recommend that you plan to replace your air conditioner before it completely fails during a heat wave, leaving you to rush through this process and potentially end up less than thrilled with your choice.
While you’re doing your research about what your AC replacement options are, you’re probably running into a lot of terms and having to learn about the differences between them—ducted or ductless, AC or heat pump, etc. A couple of acronyms you might have spotted are VRV and VRF. What’s unique about these types of air conditioners? Here’s what you should know.

We’ve made it through another winter! The earth is thawing out and warming up, the flowers are starting to bloom, and everything is sunshine and rainbows. But wait! As tempting as it might be to frolic all spring, you need to make sure you’re prepared for when the summer heat hits.
The last thing you want is to have that first really hot day arrive and find that your air conditioner isn’t working so well, or isn’t working at all. Put “Get AC Maintenance Done” at the top of your to-do list for spring and when you need your air conditioner, it’ll be in tip-top shape. Here’s how it works.

Autumn is the perfect time to reflect on how the summer went. Is there anything you want to do differently next year? Perhaps you need to rethink your approach to your flower gardening. Maybe you regret not spending more time in the pool, or you kept putting off that camping trip and ended up not going at all. But what if the thing you need to change has to do with your air conditioner?
Was your air conditioner giving you trouble? Did it make weird noises, drive up your electric bill outrageously, or fail to keep you cool when you needed it most? If it’s time to replace your air conditioner, you might be wondering: should I have a new AC installed in the fall, or should I wait until spring?

There have been some major innovations in air conditioning technology in recent years. New possibilities have opened up, and it has made it possible to use a lot less energy in the air conditioning process. If you’re looking to replace your central AC unit, and you’ve heard of high-efficiency air conditioners, you might wonder: is that what I should get?
The best way to make any major decision about your home is to begin with some research. We’re here to share facts about your AC options so that you can make a choice you feel confident in.

While new homes built in the US have generally been constructed with central air conditioning in mind since the 1970s, HVAC technology has not stood still since then. There have been many advances and new technologies created in the last fifty years.
Now, as a homeowner and not an HVAC professional, you don’t need to know the nitty gritty details of how every type of air conditioning system works. But it can be helpful to learn a little bit about some of the possibilities that exist these days. Knowing about options like VRV can help you choose a new air conditioner that will keep you cooler at a lower operating cost.
“Wait, what is VRV?” We’re so glad you asked…

Your air conditioner’s compressor is like the heart of the whole system. It pressurizes the refrigerant that runs through the coils, keeping it flowing so it can absorb heat from your home and then release that heat outdoors. Because the job it does is so critical, and because it is such an expensive component, keeping your compressor in good condition is your top AC priority.
If something goes wrong with your air conditioner that could put additional strain on the compressor, it needs to be repaired immediately. So what are the things that can damage your compressor, and how will you know if they happen? Here are some things to be aware of.

Needing to get your air conditioner repaired during the summer is no fun, especially if it’s the middle of a heat wave and your AC has stopped functioning entirely.
While we’re happy to come fix air conditioners at any time of year, we also want our customers to be as happy as possible, and that means keeping air conditioners running, not just fixing them when they break.
We’ve got some great advice about how to make sure your air conditioner runs smoothly all summer with as few problems as possible.

There’s nothing we like in Texas more than an air conditioner breakdown during a heatwave in July.
Wait, what’s that you’re saying? You don’t actually want your air conditioner to fail in the middle of the summer? You want to have your home be a cool, comfortable sanctuary all summer long? Then why haven’t you scheduled AC maintenance yet?

Your AC unit has an air filter to catch particles like dust, grit, and pet hair and prevent them from getting into the components of the unit. You can imagine that a motor or a fan would not work as well if it was caked with a layer of lint. But when that layer builds up on the air filter, it needs to be changed. A dirty air filter can be almost as bad for an air conditioner as no air filter at all, because in order to work, your AC unit needs good airflow.
What can happen to your air conditioner if it doesn’t have enough air flowing through it? Once you read about all the potential problems, you’ll be sure to clean your air filter regularly so you can avoid them.
