HVAC Services Austin TX | Call Galaxy Air Conditioning & Heating Company

In Austin's dusty environment, we recommend checking your standard 1-inch air filter every month and replacing it at least every 60-90 days. For homes with pets or higher dust levels, monthly replacement is often necessary. A clean filter is crucial—it protects your system from strain, improves indoor air quality, and prevents the reduced airflow that can lead to bigger issues like a frozen evaporator coil.

Austin's prolonged high temperatures put immense stress on compressor units. Common local causes are insufficient refrigerant levels, a dirty condenser coil blocking airflow, or a failing fan motor. An overheating compressor is a serious issue that can lead to a complete system shutdown. Our technicians perform detailed diagnostics to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple cleaning, a refrigerant charge, or a component repair—to restore safe, efficient operation.

Proactive, bi-annual maintenance is key. Our Austin-specific tune-up includes cleaning or replacing air filters, thoroughly cleaning the outdoor condenser coil to prevent overheating, checking refrigerant levels, ensuring all electrical connections are tight, and calibrating your thermostat. This service directly addresses our area's dust and heat challenges, catching small issues before they become costly repairs and keeping your system running at peak efficiency to handle our extreme weather.
