Beat the Heat Special

Up Front Pricing, Free Estimates, and 24/7 Emergency Service.

Offer Expires 10/1/16

Lennox® Precise Comfort™ Cooling technology creates more even temperatures with lower humidity, while also reducing energy costs. This technology, enabled by the iComfort Wi-Fi® thermostat, allows your cooling system to maintain your set temperature regardless of outside conditions by making minute adjustments to airflow and cooling. So, unlike conventional cooling systems, your air stays consistently comfortable, to within 0.5 degrees of your set temperature, without any hot and cold swings.

The most advanced technologies available

Air conditioners from the Dave Lennox Signature® Collection have the ability to modify cooling based on the climate in your area. When paired with an iComfort® thermostat, these air conditioners adapt to your routine and adjust temperatures accordingly.

Lennox® cooling units with precise comfort technology mean extreme energy efficiency and perfectly comfortable air. You’ll find precise comfort technology in the XC 25 air conditioner.

Here’s how it works:

Standard air conditioners and heat pumps are either on or off, which means they have one speed, regardless of the conditions in your home. Two-stage air conditioners typically have a low speed for efficiency and a high-speed for comfort on hot days, rather than one or even two stages.

The XC 25 can adjust compressor speed and output to any level between 35 and 100-percent in increments of just 1%. Talk about custom comfort!

And while one or even two-stage air conditioners and heat pumps produce temperature swings as they cycle on and off, units with Precise Comfort® technology are different. During warm weather the XC 25 produces a continuous supply of perfectly cool air, maintaining your set temperature to within a half a degree.

DIY Projects and Permits

August 17, 2015 by Kelli Victorian

Whether you’re putting in a gas stove, remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, or replacing a gas water heater

We at Village Plumbing & Home Services applaud you. But a recent *article highlights these and other important DIY projects that may require a permit! And after you finish but have problems, you’ll be glad to know you’re covered by insurance, since you did get the right permit!

Have you heard of emergency egress requirements for windows that must be met in case first responders need to get in? Do you feel comfortable with the nuances of safely installing a gas range? There are dangers involved.

Looking forward to doing major kitchen and bathroom renovations yourself? Keep in mind that banks and home inspectors care about this too, when it comes time to appraise and resell your house!

The same thing is true when replacing a gas water heater.

Village installs appliances and quality, energy efficient water heaters everyday, and safely (and of course legally). If you have questions about your project, give us a call first at (713) 526-1491 for expert advice. And by all means, do it yourself if you want to. But it helps to have a great team standing behind you!

Should I Really Schedule a Seasonal Furnace Checkup?

December 23, 2014 by Kelli Victorian

It’s that time of year again – the seasons have changed and it’s time to have your furnace maintained. But is it really necessary? It seems to be working fine and you had it checked out last year, so what’s the point? There’s actually several good reasons to have your furnace maintained seasonally and many of those reasons can save you money so they are worth considering!

Maintenance checkups are much more cost-effective than emergency repair calls! The point of maintenance is to provide preventative care so you won’t need extensive or emergency repairs. When our technicians maintain your system, they inspect all of the parts and components to ensure everything is working properly. If it isn’t, they can fix the issue before it turns into an emergency situation.
Properly maintained systems are more efficient and that saves you money on utilities. Even something as simple as a dirty filter can force your furnace to work harder and thus less efficiently, so just imagine the impact if something bigger is wrong with your furnace.
Maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your furnace. A furnace should last around 15 years on average, but it could be a lot less if your system isn’t maintained properly through those years. Avoid having to call for Houston HVAC installation before your time and protect the investment you have now with routine maintenance.
Be sure to read your warranty carefully. Many warranties suggest or even require routine maintenance in order for some things to be covered and many state that they will not cover issues that arise due to improper maintenance. Something out of your control could turn costly simply because you can’t prove a consistent maintenance schedule.

What’s this I hear about a free Lennox Furnace?

December 12, 2014 by Kelli Victorian

It is true. Get your FREE Lennox Furnace with a condenser and evaporator replacement.*

Some folks were asking about this offer. What’s it all about, and what’s the catch? I mean, nothing’s really free, right?

According to Billy Raley, Village Plumbing’s HVAC manager, the average time when you’d want to replace your condenser and evaporator is at about 10 years, so it’s something you’ll need to do anyway. He also mentioned that there’s really no catch, because in order to maintain the Village HVAC staff all year round, they run off-season specials, of which you are now the beneficiary!

But this special is not a random deal. It’s a special to provide exactly what we think our customers should have: a completely matched system for the cost of just a condenser and evaporator.

The offer’s available on all complete systems from 13-20 Seer equipment, and you’d be getting a genuine Lennox furnace, the name Village proudly services as a Dave Lennox Premiere Dealer.

Depending on efficiency chosen, your savings will be between$2499 and $3499! So it is a great opportunity. Plus you’re being serviced by Village, a NATE Certified company. That combined with Village’s great reputation for quality customer service means you have nothing to fear. It really is a free Lennox furnace you can have, professionally installed, while making your whole system run better. Call us right away to set up a visit.
