Question Answers

My outside AC unit in Corpus Christi is overheating and shutting off. What could be wrong?

This is a common issue in our coastal climate, often caused by a dirty condenser coil clogged with sand, dirt, or grass clippings, which restricts airflow and causes the compressor to overheat. It can also be due to low refrigerant levels or a failing capacitor. Our technicians are familiar with these local conditions and will perform a thorough inspection, clean the unit properly, and diagnose any electrical or refrigerant issues to restore reliable cooling and prevent further damage.

What's included in your HVAC preventative maintenance service?

Our preventative maintenance is designed to improve efficiency and prevent breakdowns. For your air conditioning and heating systems, we perform a comprehensive check that includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, testing safety controls, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring the thermostat is calibrated. For refrigeration equipment like walk-in coolers, we check seals, defrost systems, and temperature controls. Regular maintenance helps extend equipment life and maintain optimal performance.

Do you handle smart thermostat installations, and can you help if mine won't connect?

Yes, we install and configure all major brands of smart thermostats. Connectivity problems are frequent and can stem from incorrect wiring, compatibility issues with your HVAC system, or Wi-Fi setup challenges. Our technicians will ensure the thermostat is correctly installed for your specific system, assist with the initial setup and connection to your home network, and provide guidance on using its features to maximize your home's comfort and efficiency.
