How do I choose an HVAC contractor in San Marcos TX?

Here are the top considerations when choosing a heating and cooling company:

  1. They offer the best solutions for your problem. No matter what problem you are having with your air conditioning system they need to have the best and most efficient solution. They should first listen to your needs and explain how they are going to fix it. 
  2. Expertise and Trust: your HVAC system is probably one of the most costly items in your home and you don’t buy one every day. See what your San Marcos neighbors are saying about our 5 Star Services over the last 3 decades. 
  3. Free Estimates - they should offer a free estimate on the services that they will be performing. At a minimum, if they do charge a fee to come out, it should be included in the service if you decide to hire them. 
  4. Licensing - they need to be a licensed professional. The vast majority of HVAC pros are licensed but just check and make sure before hiring them. 
  5. How involved are they in your local community? We’re glad for the opportunity to give back to Hays County for 3 decades. Check out our yearly Gift of Heat community service.

When I arrived, I found the system to it be completely frozen up and it seems like it has been frozen for many days if not weeks. The tenant informed me they just cleaned the filter this past Friday and it was very dirty. I recommended getting disposable filters and replacing them once a month to prevent this from happening again. After thawing the system out and turning it back on everything is running and working at this time. I had 14 degrees of superheat and 11 degrees of subcooling at this time.

Performed the AC tune-up and everything is working at this time. While performing the inspection I did find the voltage enhancer and voltage distributor to be weak and undervalued. Also, the filter does not seem to have been changed since November of 2019 causing the system to become dirty.

When I arrived, the compressor was running but it seems to be a lot louder than normal. The system is older however, the amp draw on the compressor was inside of specs and the refrigerant pressures were good. The customer informed me that the system had been cooling but it is just loud. I informed the customer that it could be going out, but it is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing within factory specs. I asked the customer to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse to let me know.
