Keeping Your Home Healthy & Comfortable
Grapevine experiences four distinct seasons, with winters reaching freezing and summers reaching the mid to high 90s with some triple digit days. Having a properly functioning cooling system is the best way to ensure your home remains comfortable during those hot summer months.
If you’ve experienced a sudden loss of temperature control in your home during a hot summer day, your highest priority will likely become getting your air conditioner fixed.
In addition to cooling your home, a properly functioning air conditioning unit helps minimize indoor air pollutants and allergens so that you and your family can breathe easier. The team at Tom’s Mechanical is ready to ensure your air conditioning can reliably cool your Grapevine home and improve indoor air quality.
Depending on the age and condition of your air conditioner, it may be in your best interest to replace it entirely. If the AC unit is more than 10 years old or nearing that age, replacement is likely the better choice. Air conditioning units, when well maintained, should last for between 15 and 20 years with minor repairs. However, if the cost of the repair is half or more of the cost of a replacement, it is often a wiser investment to replace the unit instead.
Not all repairs warrant replacement. Examples of repairs that are usually more cost-effective than replacement include:
You can improve the airflow and efficiency of your unit by cleaning or replacing air filters. Dirt, dust and small debris can easily clog old air filters and limit air flow if allowed to build up. If a dirty filter is reducing efficiency or performance, filter replacement is an affordable resolution.
Checking refrigerant levels may explain why your AC unit is working overtime. Low refrigerant levels detract from the efficiency of your air conditioning, forcing it to work harder and consume more energy than should be needed. This can lead to higher energy bills, accelerated wear and eventual breakdowns. Adding more refrigerant and fixing leaks is an inexpensive fix.
The evaporator coil is connected to your heat pump. If not cleaned regularly, the build-up can limit the efficiency of both the air cooling and heating unit and shorten its overall lifespan. Evaporator coil cleaning can be done within a day and save you from early AC replacement in the future.
Condenser coils can gather dust, dirt and grime over time, which may reduce the efficiency of your AC unit. For an affordable solution, cleaning the condenser coils every so often can help to prevent this issue.
Common signs it's time to repair your air conditioner unit include:
