Air Conditioning Repair

Living in the Texas heat is manageable if your home is cool. But extreme heat can strain A/C units until component failure causes serious trouble. When this happens or your unit breaks down, we’ll quickly dispatch technicians to your home. We have crews on-call 24/7 who are trained and equipped to diagnose the underlying cause and make any type of repair on any make, model, or brand of air conditioning unit.

Air Conditioning Repair

Replacing your A/C can be a more cost-effective option over the long run. It can avoid repeated repair visits while a new unit typically operates more efficiently. You can trust our team to properly size your air conditioning system based on a full evaluation of your home.

We also offer a range of options; being a Lennox Premier dealer lets us install high-quality systems and provide repair and replacement services within warranty (non-warrantied systems are fixed as well). A 10-year manufacturer parts warranty is included with A/C replacement. And if your budget is tight, we offer fast and easy financing with 0% interest or $0 payment during the promotional period.

What Is a Ductless Air Conditioner?

Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning

We are proud to offer a full range of A/C services in Houston. While central air conditioning systems are common, we know that they’re not the best option for every home. If you’re updating an older home, you may not have the space to fit ductwork and larger components. A ductless heating and cooling system is a way around this, and allows you to achieve the same level of comfort.

A ductless mini split system lets you control the temperature room by room. A traditional A/C system doesn’t offer that luxury. The system is connected to an outdoor unit. It supplies refrigerant to fan and evaporator units located in the air conditioned rooms of your home. You can create a multi-zone system that can be controlled unit by unit without affecting overall system performance and efficiency.

A heat pump works well with a ductless system. It can use ambient heat from the air or ground to provide heating or cooling. While it transfers heat from even relatively cool air outside, it can also move heat away from your home to cool it off in summer.

Benefits of Ductless Air Conditioning

We can help you realize the benefits of ductless A/C, such as:

Simpler Installation: There’s no time involved with installing ductwork, so the system can often be installed in one day, depending on the size of your home.
Improved Efficiency: Turn off any unit you’re not using, while variable-speed compressors match demand, saving energy. You also avoid leaky ductwork that reduces efficiency.
Personalized Comfort: Each family member can set the temperature to find the optimal comfort level in the room they’re occupying; no more arguments over temperature control!
Takes Up Less Space: Ductless A/C units are more compact than window air conditioners and central systems that include large compressor units and extensive ductwork.
Air Quality Improvements: The system eliminates ducts that can collect and distribute dirt and particulates. It also has a multi-layer filtration system and dehumidifying capabilities.

System Condition

Air filters are checked and replaced as needed. Our technicians also evaluate airflow, perform a visual inspection of equipment, and lubricate moving parts such as motors and bearings. In addition to internal A/C components, they’ll look at ductwork to check for air leaks and seal any found. If supply registers and return vents are blocked, we’ll clean them, and our techs also flush the drain line and clean the condensate pump.

Cooling System Efficiency

Refrigerant levels will be checked and recharged if necessary. We also check the operating pressure of the refrigerant, evaluate temperature drop across the evaporator coil, and verify the temperature differential between the supply and return is within the proper range. The compressor, air handler, relays, pressure controls, and blower motor are checked, tested, and cleaned as needed.

Safety Check

To verify your HVAC unit is running safely, we’ll check all fail-safes, including surge protectors. Limit and safety controls will be tested per the latest standards. We’ll also check for carbon monoxide leaks and clean dirt and debris from the system that could become hazardous.

Electrical Inspection

Air conditioners consist of numerous electrical components. During a routine check, we’ll look at and test capacitors and contactors; if there’s rust, corrosion, or burnt parts, we’ll replace them. Fuses and wiring will be inspected and the thermostat tested and calibrated. Our technicians also test motor supply voltage and amperage, tighten wiring connections, and test the amp draw of the compressor, condenser fan, and blower motor. The outdoor disconnect will be cleaned and inspected, and we’ll test the A/C and blower shut off.

Why Schedule an Air Conditioner Inspection?

Air conditioners tend to break down when you need them most. Aside from preventing your A/C from failing during a heat wave, an inspection can:

Improve efficiency, which can reduce energy bills.
Help your A/C system last longer.
Find issues to fix before they become larger.
Improve air quality and prevent carbon monoxide leaks.
Help decide when repair or replacement is needed.

Do I Need an HVAC Contractor to Do an Inspection?

Other than changing the air filter, it’s not recommended you service an A/C yourself. It can be unsafe and may void your warranty. Our technicians are trained, experienced, and equipped to perform an inspection and know what to look for. Based on their findings, they can recommend the best options if any services are needed.

When Should I Schedule an Air Conditioner Inspection?

Generally once a year, preferably in the spring. But if you have a unit that’s 10 years old or older, have it checked twice a year. Following this rule can help get 15 or more years out of your A/C. Village Plumbing & Air includes two A/C tune-ups per year for members of our Village Partner Plan, so we can keep your system in top shape.
