Getting your air conditioning system ready for the sweltering summer months is of utmost importance, especially for those of us living in the East Texas hamlet of Whitney. There's nothing worse than turning your cooling unit on for the first time, only to discover that it is not functioning as it should. Preparing for summertime in Whitney means intimately understanding the inner workings of your air conditioning system. We begin this most essential of undertakings with a close inspection of the unit itself. We have diagnosed many problems over the years, and we have saved our clients a whole lot of money by catching issues before they balloon into expenses. And don't worry; we always unfurl our plans to the client beforehand, so they know exactly how much we're going to be with their system and for how long. We only move ahead if we're given the green light.
After we have completed the inspection phase, we move on to the next part of the process: cleaning and servicing your air conditioning unit. Our technicians do a thorough job of cleaning, and it is absolutely necessary for the following reasons: The efficiency of your AC unit and the cleanliness of the air in your home are intimately related. Dust, fibers, tiny fragments of mold, and other allergens can accumulate in an AC unit. It’s a perfect trap because the circulating air is cooled to the point where relative humidity is also low. Clean AC units do not harbor these pollutants, making the air in your home cleaner and healthier. As part of servicing, we also pay close attention to several other key components responsible for the reliable operation of the unit, including lubricating moving parts and checking: refrigerant levels and the accuracy of the thermostat.
In conclusion, we offer something that is quite rare in the air conditioning service world: valuable advice. This advice is not just helpful to our clients; it also kind of helps us in the end because we want to avoid clients having big problems with their systems (and us having to come out and do work on those systems). We do believe, though, as doing small "pay it forward" favors to our clients may enrich us in the long run: empower our clients with knowledge. Knowledge helps our clients keep their systems running smoothly; if they know what to do, they can do it. If they can do it, they don't call us out for service in the middle of a heat wave because their system has gone haywire. If they have no idea what to do, they will call us in a panic. Some of what we tell them is common sense (which we all know is not all that common), and some of it is not as common as you might think, considering the service industry for air conditioning.
