4 Reasons To Book AC Maintenance Today

Monday, March 21st, 2022

Air conditioning systems sustain a great amount of wear and tear through regular use. If you’re in a warmer climate like ours, your system will accumulate even more wear and tear.  This is one of the reasons that you should remember to make sure that your AC gets expert service so it can function its best.

Regular inspections ensure that potential issues can be caught and fixed before turning into something much more serious–hence why annual inspections are recommended. Regular maintenance also ensures that AC systems can continue working at peak performance for a longer period of time.

Because of the required expertise and equipment needed to handle air conditioning repair and other air conditioning-related issues, it’s best to schedule an appointment to have your air conditioner serviced by a professional. Here are the top four reasons we recommend scheduling an appointment:

When to Schedule Air Conditioner Services

Monday, April 20th, 2020

stopwatch-service-timeIf we didn’t already know how rapidly our weather could switch on us, the recent weeks have certainly solidified that fact in our minds.

What is Short-Cycling?

Monday, October 21st, 2019

white question mark on blue circle with white backgroundTexas is one of several states that requires the use of efficient, well-maintained air conditioning systems. If you are live in the Lone Star state and you don’t have a properly working AC, you are likely to encounter uncomfortable days filled with heat and humidity throughout most of the year.

If you have a good cooler though, you don’t have to worry about finding sanctuary from high temperatures in a coffee shop or library because you can keep your home as comfortable as you want. However, this doesn’t mean your system will never encounter issues.

One of the many common problems that we see in residential AC systems is short-cycling. Some residents may not realize that short-cycling is an issue simply because their air conditioner is still running, even if it seems to be doing so in short spurts.

The truth is that an air conditioning system that is short-cycling is one that needs repairs sooner than later.

Monday, April 4th, 2016
