Frequently Asked Questions

Due to long, hot summers, HVAC systems in San Antonio should receive maintenance at least once a year—ideally spring for AC and fall for heating—to prevent breakdowns and maintain efficiency.

Sizing depends on square footage, insulation, sun exposure, and home layout. A professional load calculation ensures the AC unit is properly sized to handle San Antonio’s high temperatures without overworking.

Extremely high outdoor temperatures, low refrigerant, dirty coils, poor insulation, or an undersized unit can cause continuous AC operation. An inspection can pinpoint performance issues.

Air purifiers, dehumidifiers, proper ventilation, duct cleaning, and high-quality air filters help control allergens, mold, and humidity common in Central Texas homes.

Warm air, ice on the refrigerant lines, hissing sounds, high humidity, or long cooling cycles can indicate refrigerant leaks—common in older systems in hot climates like San Antonio.

Duct leaks, improper duct design, blocked vents, aging systems, or poor insulation often cause uneven cooling, especially in multi-story homes in San Antonio’s heat.

Hard water, older plumbing materials, root intrusion, grease buildup, and heavily mineralized pipes can lead to persistent drain clogs.

Regular plumbing inspections, replacing aging galvanized or cast-iron pipes, using water softeners, and monitoring water pressure help prevent leaks and pipe corrosion.

Sediment buildup, failing heating elements, an undersized tank, or fluctuating groundwater temperatures can reduce hot water supply as temperatures shift in the San Antonio area.

Tankless units provide endless hot water, lower energy usage, and longer lifespan—ideal for homes seeking efficiency and space savings in the warm San Antonio climate.
