The name on the equipment matters far less than most people think. What decides whether a new AC delivers its rated efficiency for fifteen years is the installation, and a sloppy one gives away a big share of that efficiency on day one. Size it too large and it short-cycles, pulls out little moisture, and leaves your Texas City home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Texas City HVAC avoids both by running a proper load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork, rather than simply copying the old unit's tonnage.
Most of our service calls are for AC Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- A system that runs nonstop on hot afternoons without hitting the setpoint
- A major repair, like a dead compressor or leaking evaporator, on aging equipment
- Hot spots and warm rooms the AC can never catch up with
- Repair calls that keep coming, with bigger bills every time
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
- A cold, damp feeling indoors, which usually points to an oversized system
- Cooling bills climbing every summer while comfort declines
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
Don't Wait for a Total Failure
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. If you notice any of these signs, call (409) 204-6290 for a prompt inspection.
