HVAC Maintenance Tips.
- Regular heating and air conditioning tune-ups are usually required by air conditioning manufacturers for their warranty.
- It is very important to have a relationship with a heating and air conditioning contractor that you trust before you need one in an emergency.
- San Antonio City Public Service recommends having a licensed professional contractor clean the air conditioner in the summer and perform regular maintenance on the furnace during the fall - every year. San Antonio CPS states maintenance will help keep your utility bill low and can reduce the number of breakdowns.
- The EPA Says: Dirt and neglect are the #1 causes of heating and air conditioning system failures. One of the most important steps you can take to prevent future problems with your air conditioner and unwanted costs is proper maintenance.
- Keep your heating and air conditioning systems at peak performance by cleaning or replacing the air conditioning filter about once a month and having a contractor do annual pre-season check-ups on your air conditioner and furnace.

We Provide Energy Efficient Replacement Air Conditioners.
If your ac system is in need of replacement, or if it is inefficient and you want to replace it before something happens, we will be happy to give you an estimate on a new, energy efficient HVAC system. In San Antonio, air conditioning equipment accounts for over 50% of the energy usage in your home.
There are some basic guidelines that will help you make your decision on repairing or replacing your heating and ac equipment.
These are reasons to change out your heating and air conditioning system:
There are some basic guidelines that will help you make your decision on repairing or replacing your heating and ac equipment.
These are reasons to change out your heating and air conditioning system:
- If the HVAC system is over 10 years old. Due to recent advances in HVAC technology, heaters, furnaces and air conditioners older than 10 years should be replaced at the first major component failure (evaporator coil, compressor, or furnace heat exchanger).
- If the HVAC system is out of warranty and a major component fails. Older air conditioners and furnaces did not have the warranty coverage that newer units have. Newer heating and air conditioning units have a 10 year parts warranty ( if registered) and some have a life time heat exchanger warranty ( if registered).
- If you are concerned with electric usage and bills, and your HVAC system was installed before 2007. Most of the high efficiency air conditioning systems we offer have more than twice the efficiency of ac units installed before 2007. We offer many energy efficient options that qualify for the San Antonio CPS rebate program and the federal 25C Tax Credit.
- The air conditioning system still has manufacturer's warranty. The only reasons to replace an air conditioning system before the warranty expiration are, if you want to increase energy efficiency or if the warranty allows for a credit on a new system and you are near expiration.
- If your HVAC system is operating correctly and the energy usage is not excessive.
Thorough Air Conditioning Repair.
If you have more than one San Antonio air conditioning company come out to your house, you will notice how much longer we take than other companies gathering information examining your home and your existing system. It’s important for us to look at your duct system, your existing electrical and wiring and any other problems that might exist.
You always have the right to choose what repairs are made on your home. We just think you should know about all of the problems, not just the ones that are most profitable to your HVAC contractor. An ac system can only be efficient and perform the way it was designed to, if it is installed properly.

Air Duct Sealing Services.
In addition to the maintenance and repair services that we offer, we can help you efficiently seal your ducts in order to save money on your utility bills. This process is a very important step in the energy efficiency process. Estimates show that the average household in San Antonio will lose upwards of twenty percent of the air that flows through the duct system due to leakage. Our licensed professionals can help you evaluate the state of your existing system while identifying the areas that will need to be sealed in order to prevent air from escaping.
Air duct sealing is an important step in energy efficiency.
The average home in San Antonio loses 20% of the air that moves through the duct system to leakage. We can evaluate the existing duct work to identify the areas conditioned air is escaping.
We use a thermal imager to scan the entire system. Areas of defect invisible to the naked eye stand out with the latest technology.
Duct work can be damaged in many ways including:

- People working in your attic can crush or knock loose ducts.
- Rodents can chew holes in the duct.
- The duct may not have been properly sealing during initial installation.
Air Duct Sealing Increases Your Home’s Efficiency and Air Quality
Many homes suffer from poor indoor air quality. The usual culprit is unsealed return air chases and unsealed duct work. If the return air is not sealed well, it will pull hot, dirty attic air into your air conditioning system. The worst issue with this is that the attic air is mixed with the conditioned air after the filter. Adding high MERV filters ( MERV is the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Standard used to measure the effectiveness of filters, full definition here ) only makes the problem worse. Air will travel the path of least resistance. The high MERV filter offers much more resistance than the open path to the attic.
The duct work shown on the left is installed in the correct manner. Notice the white ring of mastic that seals the area where the flexible duct meets the duct board mixing box. The duct in the top right area is securely strapped up so there are no kinks that would reduce air flow. The picture on the right shows a return air chase that is open to the attic. Insulation and debris has fallen from the attic to the bottom of the chase.

Indoor Air Quality Solutions.
How clean the air is circulating indoors directly refers to indoor air quality. Ensuring that the air within a home or any other living space is clean and free of contaminates is not just a luxury, it is a way to be proactive on your overall quality of health by ridding the circulating air of contaminates that can cause you to become sick or adversely affect your health. Home comfort is not only temperature or climate control, it is also applying indoor air quality solutions.
Testing Indoor Air Quality.
There are many things floating around in the air that can cause problems if inhaled, these problems can range from simple breathing problems to viruses like the flu to more serious problems like cancer or mesothelioma.

- Asbestos
- Allergens (Pollen or Dander)
- Viruses (Airborne viruses that can be transmitted, such as Influenza)
