Expert Air Conditioning Services in Carrollton, TX

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the hot season begins. Regular maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently, extends its lifespan, and helps prevent costly breakdowns during the hottest months. For optimal performance, homeowners with high usage or pets might benefit from bi-annual tune-ups.

With proper maintenance, a quality air conditioning system typically lasts 10-15 years. However, several factors affect lifespan including usage patterns, local climate, installation quality, and regular maintenance. Systems that receive annual professional tune-ups, regular filter changes, and prompt repairs when issues arise tend to last longer and operate more efficiently throughout their service life.

Consider replacement if your system: is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, causes energy bills to spike, struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures, or uses R-22 refrigerant (being phased out). Minor issues in newer systems typically warrant repair. Our technicians can perform a thorough assessment and provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation and long-term cost considerations.

Proper sizing is crucial for efficiency and comfort. The appropriate size depends on multiple factors including your home's square footage, insulation quality, window efficiency, ceiling height, local climate, and more. We conduct a professional load calculation using industry-standard Manual J procedures to determine the exact capacity needed. Avoid contractors who size units based solely on square footage, as this often leads to inefficient operation and comfort issues.

Standard 1-3 inch filters typically need changing every 30-90 days, depending on factors like filter quality, household occupancy, pets, allergies, and system usage. Check your filter monthly during peak usage seasons. Homes with pets or allergies may need more frequent changes. High-efficiency filters may last longer but restrict airflow more, so follow manufacturer recommendations. Regular filter changes improve air quality and system efficiency while preventing unnecessary wear.
