A&E Home Services | Licensed HVAC Services in Southlake, TX

Yes, absolutely. While we clean your fireplace for safety and performance in winter, a well-maintained chimney and damper ensure a tight seal when not in use. This prevents conditioned air from your HVAC system from escaping up the flue during our hot Southlake summers, helping your air conditioner run more efficiently and potentially lowering energy costs.

First, check your thermostat. Ensure it's set to 'cool' and the temperature setting is below the current room temperature. Next, check your circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers related to the AC unit. If these are fine, the issue could be faulty wiring or a more complex component failure. For Southlake homeowners, we recommend calling us promptly for a diagnosis to avoid prolonged discomfort in the extreme heat.

Professional cleaning removes soot, creosote, and debris that can restrict airflow and create drafting problems. A clean fireplace and chimney operate more efficiently, providing better heat output in winter. More importantly, it ensures harmful gases are properly vented. This contributes to a healthier indoor environment year-round, which complements your HVAC system's role in maintaining consistent, clean air throughout your Southlake home.
