Our AC season stretches from spring well into fall, and humidity makes the system work even harder. That means more wear on capacitors, motors and drain lines than in milder climates.
A tune-up is a chance to catch those small problems while they're cheap, and to keep the system running at the efficiency you paid for.
After each visit you get a written rundown of anything that needs attention.
Before the heat sets in, ideally March to May.
Before the first cold front, ideally September to November.
Join once and we handle the scheduling. You just open the door.
A spring cooling tune-up and a fall heating tune-up, scheduled for you.
Members move to the front of the line when the first heat wave hits.
Members save on repairs we find during or between visits.
We reach out when each visit is due, so it never slips.
A record of every visit, handy for warranty claims and resale.
Changing the filter is the cheapest maintenance there is. A clogged one strains the blower, freezes coils and lets dust coat the system.
Twice a year is ideal in Houston: the AC in spring before the heat hits, and the heating side in fall before the first cold front.
Standard 1-inch filters every 1 to 3 months. Four-inch media filters every 6 to 12 months. Change them more often if you have pets, allergies or ongoing construction.
For most Houston homes, yes. Systems here run hard for much of the year, and a twice-a-year check catches worn capacitors, clogged drains and dirty coils before they turn into a no-cool call in the middle of summer.
Yes. Book a single spring or fall tune-up any time. The plan simply schedules both visits for you and adds member perks.
Your AC pulls a lot of water out of Houston air, and it drains through a condensate line. If that line clogs with algae or debris, water backs up into the pan and can overflow or trip a safety switch that shuts the system off. Clearing and treating the drain line is part of every tune-up.
Spring and fall slots fill quickly, so it pays to book early.
