Monday, November 1st, 2021

Too Early to Schedule HVAC Maintenance? Not at All!

Monday, February 8th, 2021

service-blue-markerIt’s early February, and the ol’ groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter. However, the groundhog has been right approximately 30% of the time, which is less than chance, and we live in Texas where we generally don’t need to worry about long winters.

And that’s a lengthy way of saying that we’re already heading toward warmer weather here and it’s time to think about scheduling routine HVAC maintenance so your AC is ready to go into spring. But you shouldn’t just abandon your heater. Take advantage of this slower time to have any lingering heater repair in Katy, TX taken care of. In fact, why not arrange for both at one time? Call us up about your heating problems and ask to get on the schedule for HVAC maintenance through our Safety and Efficiency Cool Club.

What to Do When Your Heater Won’t Heat

Monday, November 30th, 2020

cold-man-with-thermostatYou won’t need heating repair in Cypress, TX as often as you’ll need AC repair. After all, air conditioning systems get used almost throughout the year here, while heaters only run for a short season, usually handling the cold nights. But when you need to have your heater repaired, make sure you call on our technicians and don’t try to do any of the work yourself. And don’t entrust the job to an amateur who can make big promises at suspiciously small prices. They’re suspiciously small for good reason!

However, if your heater stops heating or is only putting out an inadequate amount of warmth, there are some troubleshooting steps you can take to test if the problem is a minor one. These won’t involve you having to get out the tools or do anything that might be harmful. Once you’ve exhausted these steps is when to call us to get that heater heating again.

Heat Pump Problems: Not Enough Heat?

Monday, January 14th, 2019

cold-sweater-manWe often talk up the heat pump because not enough people know about how beneficial these systems are in a climate like the one we enjoy. As an alternative to the standard “AC and electric furnace” setup many homes in Katy and the surrounding areas have, the heat pump is excellent. Replace the old furnace and air conditioner combo with a system that provides great cooling and energy-efficient heating when needed.

But what if you have a heat pump that isn’t providing the heat you need? Or maybe not providing any heat at all? When you make the switch on the heat pump from cooling mode (where it will be for most of the year) to heating mode, you might find yourself in this position.
