Q&A
My AC in Bastrop turns on and off constantly (short-cycling) and my bills are high. What's the first thing I should check?
Short-cycling is a common issue here, often caused by a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or an incorrectly sized unit. While a dirty filter is an easy fix, the other causes require a professional HVAC technician. We recommend scheduling a system maintenance check. Our technicians will diagnose the root cause—whether it's a refrigerant leak, faulty sensor, or electrical issue with the compressor—and provide a clear repair plan. Properly fixing short-cycling not only restores comfort but directly lowers those high cooling bills.
Can upgrading my electrical panel help with high cooling costs and AC performance?
Absolutely. An outdated or faulty electrical panel can't deliver consistent, clean power to your HVAC system, causing it to work harder and less efficiently. For older Bastrop homes, a panel upgrade or repair by our licensed electricians ensures your new, efficient AC unit or heat pump has the stable power it needs to operate at peak performance. This foundational electrical work is a key step in any major HVAC upgrade to maximize energy savings and system longevity.
I need a new AC installed. How can I be sure it's the right size for my Bastrop home to avoid future problems?
Proper sizing is critical. A unit that's too large will short-cycle, failing to dehumidify properly and wearing out quickly, while one too small will run constantly and drive up bills. Our installation process begins with a Manual J load calculation. This isn't a simple guess based on square footage; it factors in your home's insulation, window orientation, local Bastrop climate, and more. We then recommend correctly sized, energy-efficient models and ensure a precise installation, including proper wire and thermostat setup, for optimal comfort and efficiency.
