FAQs
What types of heating and air-conditioning systems do you install for Sweetwater homes and businesses?
We design and install a full range of comfort solutions to match Sweetwater’s hot summers and cool, windy winters. Our lineup includes high-efficiency central air conditioners, heat pumps, gas furnaces, packaged rooftop units, mini-split systems for room-by-room control, and dual-fuel hybrids that automatically switch between gas and electric heat for maximum efficiency. Every installation begins with a Manual J load calculation to make sure the equipment is properly sized for your square footage, insulation level, and the West Texas climate.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance in Sweetwater’s climate?
Because Sweetwater experiences long cooling seasons and occasional winter cold snaps, we recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in spring before the AC workload peaks and one in fall before you rely on the furnace or heat pump for heat. Regular maintenance includes coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, airflow testing, electrical inspection, thermostat calibration, and safety checks. These visits keep energy bills in check, extend equipment life, maintain manufacturer warranties, and dramatically reduce the likelihood of an unexpected breakdown during a 100 °F July afternoon or a chilly January night.
What indoor air quality (IAQ) products can help reduce dust, pollen, and West Texas sand in my home?
Our IAQ solutions target the fine dust and seasonal allergens common to Sweetwater. Options include: 1) high-MERV pleated filters and media cabinets that capture particles down to 0.3 µm; 2) whole-home electronic air cleaners that use electrostatic attraction; 3) UV-C germicidal lamps installed in the air handler to neutralize bacteria, mold, and viruses; 4) energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) that bring in fresh outdoor air while exhausting stale indoor air with minimal energy loss; and 5) whole-home humidifiers to keep relative humidity in the ideal 30-50 % range, which helps control static electricity and respiratory irritation.
How can upgrading to a high-efficiency system lower my energy bills?
Today’s air conditioners reach SEER2 ratings of 16–20+, and gas furnaces achieve up to 98 % AFUE. Compared with equipment installed 10-15 years ago (often SEER 10 and 80 % AFUE), a modern system can cut summer cooling costs by 30-50 % and winter heating costs by 15-20 %. Variable-speed compressors and blower motors run at lower speeds most of the time, using less electricity, reducing temperature swings, and improving de-humidification. Pairing new equipment with smart thermostats, proper duct sealing, and attic insulation maximizes the savings potential.
Do you offer financing or rebates for HVAC upgrades in Sweetwater?
Yes. We partner with national lenders to provide low-interest and no-interest financing plans, often with $0 down and terms up to 120 months. Our team also helps Sweetwater customers capture available utility incentives (such as Oncor’s energy-efficiency rebate programs), federal tax credits of up to 30 % on qualifying heat pumps and high-efficiency furnaces, and occasional manufacturer instant rebates. During your in-home consultation we’ll prepare a customized incentive summary so you know the exact out-of-pocket cost before you decide.
How can I tell whether my current HVAC system needs repair or full replacement?
Consider replacement if: 1) the unit is 12–15 years old (10 years for heat pumps in heavy use); 2) repair costs exceed 30 % of the price of a new system; 3) you experience uneven temperatures, rising utility bills, or persistent humidity issues; 4) you face expensive component failures such as a cracked heat exchanger or failed compressor; or 5) you plan to stay in your home long enough to recoup energy savings. Otherwise, a targeted repair—such as capacitor replacement, refrigerant charge correction, or blower motor servicing—may restore performance. Our technicians perform a full diagnostic and present side-by-side repair-versus-replace estimates so you can make an informed choice.
