FAQs
What temperature-control solutions do you recommend for Georgetown’s hot summers and cool winters?
Georgetown experiences humid summers in the high 90s °F and winter lows that can dip into the 30s, so we recommend a high-efficiency heat pump or a dual-fuel (gas furnace + heat pump) system. These units provide reliable cooling in July and August while switching to efficient heating when temperatures drop. We size every unit with Manual J calculations, seal the ductwork, and install smart thermostats to keep year-round comfort consistent and energy bills low.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
For peak efficiency and warranty compliance, schedule preventive maintenance twice a year—cooling tune-up in early spring and heating tune-up in early fall. During each visit we clean coils, check refrigerant charge, test safety controls, inspect ductwork, and calibrate the thermostat. Regular service can cut energy use by up to 15 %, reduce breakdowns, and extend equipment life by 5–7 years.
What steps can I take to improve my home’s indoor air quality?
Start with a high-MERV pleated filter (MERV 8–13) and change it every 60–90 days. Add UV-C lights to neutralize mold on the indoor coil, and consider a whole-home media air cleaner or HEPA bypass system for allergies. Because Georgetown’s humidity often tops 60 %, we also install whole-home dehumidifiers to keep indoor RH at 45–50 %, reducing dust mites and musty odors. For chemical pollutants, an activated-carbon filter or ERV (energy-recovery ventilator) will introduce fresh air while exhausting stale air.
What advantages does a smart or Wi-Fi thermostat offer?
Smart thermostats learn your schedule, adjust temperatures automatically, and can be controlled from your phone. Georgetown Utility Systems reports that programmable thermostats can cut cooling costs by 10 %. Models we install provide remote humidity monitoring, filter-change reminders, and energy-use reports. Many qualify for a $50–$100 rebate through local utility programs, helping the device pay for itself within the first year.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency heating and cooling repairs in Georgetown?
Yes. Our technicians are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—including holidays and storm events. We stock most common parts on our service vehicles, so 85 % of emergencies are fixed on the first visit. Diagnostic fees are waived if you proceed with the repair, and maintenance-plan members receive priority scheduling and a 15 % discount on parts.
Are there local rebates or incentives for upgrading to high-efficiency HVAC equipment?
Absolutely. Georgetown Utility Systems and Oncor Energy Efficiency Programs offer rebates of $250–$1,600 for qualifying SEER2 heat pumps, variable-speed air conditioners, and smart thermostats. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act add up to 30 % of the project cost (capped at $2,000) for heat pumps and $600 for advanced air sealing. We handle all paperwork and provide AHRI certificates to ensure you receive every available incentive.
