The brand on the cabinet matters far less than most people think. What decides whether a new AC delivers its rated efficiency for fifteen years is the installation, and a sloppy one gives away a big share of that efficiency on day one. Size it too large and it short-cycles, pulls out little moisture, and leaves your Pflugerville home cool but clammy. Size it too small and it runs nonstop without ever catching up on the hottest afternoons. Pflugerville HVAC avoids both by running a proper load calculation based on your square footage, insulation, window exposure, and ductwork, rather than simply copying the old unit's tonnage.
The repair homeowners call us about most is AC Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
Warning Signs for AC Installation
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time and money. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- The house feels cold but sticky, a classic sign of oversizing
- The system still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant
- An air conditioner that is twelve to fifteen years old or older
- Summer energy bills that keep rising as comfort drops
- More frequent repairs, each one costing more than the last
- A failed compressor or leaking evaporator coil on an aging unit
- A system that runs nonstop on hot afternoons without hitting the setpoint
- Uneven cooling, with certain rooms that never get comfortable
Don't Wait for a Total Failure
A failing capacitor, clogged condensate drain, or dirty flame sensor rarely fixes itself and usually gets more expensive to address the longer it runs. Call (737) 344-9569 at the first sign of trouble.
