Please please please don’t pay 15-18k for a brand new system.

Guys, that is highway robbery.

Is there a markup? Yes

We have to account for service, technicians, gas, mileage, maintenance on our vehicles, the tools needed to install the system, the system and unit itself, and the time it takes to install the unit.

And for an AVERAGE sized house none of that costs 18 thousand dollars.

Now, that being said, if you have a 9 thousand square foot home with 2 to 3 systems needed to keep it running cool, that’s a different story. But for a regular sized house you should not be paying that much.

Don’t be afraid to get multiple quotes. Call us. We pride ourselves day in and day out on HONESTY. We aren’t going to tell you you need a brand new system if it’s not absolutely necessary.

We won’t try to sell you things you don’t need.

We aren’t that kind of company.

Our main interest is saving you time and money.

So please, don’t pay 18k for a new system.

Did you know???

Closing air vents in unused rooms doesn't actually save you energy or money on your electricity..

It can increase the pressure in the duct system and potentially make your HVAC system work double time and less efficiently.

Fun Fact Friday!

Did you know that your AC unit can actually freeze up when it's this hot outside in Texas?

As weird as that sounds, restricted airflow, a dirty filter, low refrigerant, or other system issues can cause the evaporator coil to get so cold that moisture freezes right onto it, and BAM frozen unit!

And another fun fact, turning the thermostat lower won't fix it, it will actually make it WORSE!

If you ever notice ice on your AC unit or suddenly have little to no airflow inside of your home, coming from your vents, your system may be frozen and need servicing.

Call us today if you are having any HVAC issues!

Did you know???

Your AC can remove gallons of water every single day.

On a humid Texas day, your air conditioner can pull 5-20 gallons of water out of your home's air in a single day! That's why you have something called a condensate drain line!

Fun Fact Friday!

When it is 100+ degrees outside, it's actually completely normal for your air conditioner to keep your home cooled in or around the mid 70's degree range.

Your AC isn't designed to make your house ice cold on the hottest days of the year. It is designed to remove the heat and humidity while maintaining about a 20 degree temperature difference between the air going into your system and the air coming out of your vents.

So if it's scorching hot outside and your home is staying at or around 72-78 degrees, your system is likely doing exactly what it was built to do.

Before assuming your AC is broken:
-Check your air filter. Sometimes it could be as simple as changing the air filter to get better airflow and better air quality.
-Keep the blinds closed during the hottest parts of the day.
-Avoid constantly changing the thermostat.

If your home wont cool below the upper 70's, runs nonstop, or you're noticing warm air coming from your vents, it might be time for a professional opinion.

Call us today if you are experiencing any problems and your home is not cooling, or struggling to keep up.

⚡️ The #1 thing most homeowners don’t know their HVAC system needs! ⚡️

Did you know that your HVAC system is the most expensive appliance in your home? More than your fridge, dishwasher, oven, and washer/dryer combined!

With all this rain and lightning strikes all it takes is one lightning strike to create a power surge that will instantly damage expensive electrical parts of your AC or furnace.

A whole system HVAC surge protector can:
✅ Protect expensive control boards and electronics.
✅ Reduce the risk of costly repairs.
✅ Extend the life of your entire HVAC system.
✅ Give you extra peace of mind during these Texas storm seasons. ⛈️

Think of it like insurance for your AC- it’s a small investment that can protect you from having to spend hundreds in repairs.

Not sure if your system already has one or not? Call us. We would be happy to look and explain your options.

Monday HVAC Fun Fact!

Did you know that your AC doesn't actually produce cold air?

It removes heat from inside your home and moves it outside.

So, if your AC system is struggling to keep up with the Texas heat, it may not be "out of cold"... it probably just needs a little TLC.

We offer a Bear Necessities Home Plan that is $129 a year and we send out our certified, licensed, and insured technicians every six months to check your entire system. Fluids, fuses, sensors, attic, filter, etc. We check it all and do a full tune up to ensure your system runs smoothly all year long.

We are a local, family-owned company that prides itself on honesty, fair pricing, and not being pushy or sales gimmicky like other local companies.
