FAQs
What heating, cooling, and indoor air–quality services do you provide in Georgetown?
Our Georgetown team installs, repairs, and maintains high-efficiency air conditioners, heat pumps, gas and electric furnaces, ductless mini-splits, whole-house humidifiers/dehumidifiers, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), UV air purifiers, and high-MERV or HEPA filtration systems. We also offer ductwork design, sealing, and cleaning so every part of your HVAC and ventilation system works together for maximum comfort and healthy air.
How often should I change or clean my HVAC air filter?
In Central Texas, where dust and cedar pollen are common, we recommend inspecting the filter every 30 days and replacing it at least every 60–90 days. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may need monthly changes. A clean filter keeps airflow strong, lowers utility bills, protects equipment, and captures airborne contaminants before they circulate through your living spaces.
What are common signs my HVAC system needs repair or replacement?
Watch for uneven temperatures between rooms, weak airflow, rising energy costs, loud or unusual noises, musty or burning odors, and frequent on-off cycling. If your unit is 10–15 years old and major components such as the compressor or heat exchanger have failed, replacement is usually more economical than repeated repairs. We offer free in-home evaluations and load calculations to help you choose the right upgrade.
How can I improve ventilation and indoor air quality in Georgetown’s hot, humid summers?
Start by ensuring your existing ducts are properly sized and sealed. Add controlled fresh-air ventilation with an ERV or HRV to exchange stale indoor air for filtered outdoor air while minimizing energy loss. Keep indoor humidity between 40–55 % with a whole-house dehumidifier to discourage mold growth. Run kitchen and bath exhaust fans regularly and schedule annual HVAC tune-ups to maintain clean coils and condensate drains.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives for upgrading HVAC equipment in Georgetown?
Yes. Many ENERGY STAR® air conditioners, heat pumps, and smart thermostats qualify for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act—up to 30 % of the project cost, subject to annual caps. Oncor Energy and local co-ops often provide additional rebates for high-SEER heat pumps and duct sealing. We handle the paperwork and will show you estimated savings so you can maximize incentives and lower your monthly utility bills.
Will a smart thermostat really make a difference in comfort and utility costs?
Absolutely. Smart thermostats learn your schedule, adjust settings automatically, and provide remote control through a mobile app. In Georgetown’s climate, they can cut cooling costs by 8–15 % and heating costs by 10–12 %. Features like geofencing ensure the system turns down when you leave and resumes your preferred temperature before you return, all while keeping humidity and indoor air quality devices operating at optimal times.
