FAQs
Why is routine air-conditioning maintenance important for Jacksboro homeowners?
Our summers regularly top 90°F with high humidity, so your AC works hard for months on end. A yearly tune-up keeps the system clean and properly charged, which helps it cool more effectively, run with less electricity, and last years longer. Preventive service also lets our technicians spot worn parts or small refrigerant leaks before they escalate into a mid-season breakdown or a costly compressor failure.
What services are included in your routine HVAC maintenance visit?
During a standard maintenance call our technician will: • Inspect and clean the indoor evaporator coil and outdoor condenser coil • Replace or wash standard air filters and check airflow • Measure refrigerant pressure, temperatures, and superheat/sub-cool readings; add refrigerant if needed • Tighten electrical connections, test capacitors, contactors, and safety controls • Lubricate motors and bearings where applicable • Calibrate the thermostat and verify temperature differential • Clear the condensate drain line and add algae inhibitor • Check ductwork for obvious leaks and insulation issues • Provide a written report with any repair recommendations. The entire visit usually takes 60–90 minutes per system.
How often should I schedule air-conditioning maintenance in Jacksboro’s climate?
For a traditional split-system AC or gas furnace/AC combo, we recommend one maintenance visit each spring before the cooling season starts. Heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling should be serviced twice a year—once in spring and once in fall—because they run almost year-round. Homes with pets, high dust, or allergy concerns may need filter changes and a quick check every 3–4 months.
Can regular maintenance really lower my electric bill?
Yes. Dirty coils, clogged filters, or an under-charged system can reduce efficiency by 5–25 %. After a professional cleaning and tune-up, airflow and heat transfer improve, allowing the unit to reach the set temperature faster and cycle off sooner. Most customers see their summer energy bills drop 10–15 %, and the savings over a season usually offset the cost of the maintenance visit.
Will routine maintenance protect my manufacturer’s warranty?
Nearly every major AC manufacturer (Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, etc.) states in the fine print that damages caused by lack of routine maintenance are not covered. Keeping annual service records proves that you changed filters, kept coils clean, and had a licensed technician check refrigerant levels. If a part fails prematurely, these records make warranty claims simple and prevent unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.
What warning signs mean my AC needs a tune-up or repair sooner?
Schedule service right away if you notice: • Warm air or weak airflow from vents • Grinding, squealing, or rattling noises from the indoor or outdoor unit • Unexplained spikes in your Jacksboro utilities bill • Frequent short cycling or the system running constantly • Excess humidity or musty odors inside the home • Ice forming on the refrigerant lines or outdoor coil Addressing these problems early can prevent compressor damage and restore comfort quickly.
