  • What if my air conditioning unit is older than 10 years?

    If your air conditioning system is over a decade old, it may be operating below efficiency. Technology evolves rapidly, including environmental protection regulations. With the switch of refrigerant from R22 to R410A in January 2020, older units may still be using outdated refrigerant. Repairing older HVAC systems may only provide temporary solutions, leading to costly repairs and higher utility.

  • What if repairs are becoming more costly?

    If you've had to repair your AC unit more than twice in the past year or if your utility bills have increased, it's time to consider replacement. Investing in a new cooling system can save you money in the long run, especially if you qualify for tax credits.

  • What if my home is taking longer to cool?

    Your HVAC unit should efficiently cool your home and prevent moisture and humidity buildup. If your home takes longer to cool or if you notice increased dust or strange noises from your AC, it's likely time for a replacement.

  • What options do I have for replacing my cooling system?

    There are various options available for replacing your home cooling system, depending on factors such as the size of your home, usage, and the current size of your HVAC unit. We service all residential and commercial HVAC systems across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

  • What are the main causes of heater problems?

    Most heater issues stem from lack of maintenance, such as dirty filters or clogged ducts. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to malfunctions and even system breakdowns.

  • What are common issues with heaters?

    Common issues include the blower motor stopping, malfunctioning heat kits in electric heaters, and malfunctioning glow plugs in gas-powered heaters. These problems can result in a lack of heat or airflow from vents.

  • How expensive is fixing a water heater?

    The cost of fixing a water heater varies depending on the type of heater and the specific problem. While some service calls may be relatively inexpensive, larger projects like replacing the entire heating system can be more costly. Regular maintenance and scheduling service plans can help prevent major issues and keep your HVAC system running smoothly.

  • What are some common signs that it's time to replace your air conditioning unit?

    Determining when it's time to replace your air conditioning unit depends on factors like its age, efficiency, and frequency of repairs. Signs such as age exceeding 10 years, increasing utility bills, and poor cooling performance may indicate the need for a replacement.

  • Why isn't my A/C cooling properly and what can I do?

    If your A/C isn't cooling effectively, there could be several reasons why. Before calling for repairs, you can check common issues such as changing the air filter, inspecting the condenser for leaks or blockages, and cleaning the coils around the air handler. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues and ensures your A/C operates efficiently.
