Benefits of Preventative HVAC Maintenance Katy

HVAC Maintenance Katy: System Check-ups, Cleaning, and Energy Savings

HVAC professionals, manufacturers, and public agencies talk all the time about the benefits and necessities of a regular (at least annual) Preventative HVAC Maintenance Katy service for residential and commercial heating and air conditioning systems.

Preventative maintenance avoids most breakdowns and keeps the system running smoothly by catching problems early.
Preventative maintenance increases energy efficiency, which measurably saves money on utility bills.
Regular preventative HVAC Maintenance Katy extends the useful years of the system by as many as 5 years.

But what actually happens during these maintenance visits that save money and accomplish these benefits? Professional HVAC Maintenance Katy will include:

A Systematic Check-up

A seasoned HVAC Maintenance Katy professional can diagnose most problems early in an HVAC examination since problems develop in predictable patterns. However, the visit will include a thorough inspection of the entire system: the burner assembly and the heat exchanger for natural gas furnaces or the condenser and heating elements for heat pumps or electric furnaces.

The thermostat, blower motor, electrical sensors, switches, and control units will be tested no matter the type of fuel used. The overall performance can be tested by measuring the heat output in the home.

A Systematic Cleaning

Dirt is the bane of mechanical systems and causes problems at every turn. As the check-up proceeds, the technician will clean the accumulation of dust and sticky pollen wherever it is found. Soot and rust may also cling to the burner assembly, interfering with complete or efficient burning gas.

A key cleaning task will be replacing the air filter. Homeowners probably hear this all the time, but a dirty filter affects the efficiency of a furnace/air conditioner by hampering the free flow of air, which is so vital for HVAC performance.

The technician can recommend the best air filter for your system. The filter needs to be changed at least every three months. If you change your filter regularly you will be able to tell if it needs to be changed more frequently.

Care For Moving Parts

The most prominent moving part in an HVAC system is the blower motor; a motor turns a very efficient fan to move the entire volume of air in the home, circulating the air, and keeping it fresh and healthy. The motor will be serviced, belts inspected/replaced as needed, and the parts that require lubrication will be cared for properly.

Preventative HVAC Maintenance Katy Final Report

After the preventative HVAC Maintenance Katy visit, the technician should provide a report to the homeowner, including:

A performance report to ensure the homeowner the system is working properly and efficiently.
A safety report gives the homeowner confidence that the system will not harm the occupants.
A notification that a repair needs to be made and the timeframe the repair should be made.

This is a good time to ask questions and receive some simple instructions on DIY HVAC Maintenance Katy tasks.

Do-it-yourself Preventative HVAC Maintenance Katy Tasks

Many thermostats are programmable or have Smart technology that allows monitoring and setting changes via a cellphone app. Ask the technician to explain the thermostat’s capabilities.
Ask the technician for recommendations concerning air filter ratings for your HVAC system. Explore the benefits of installing UV lights inside the ductwork to neutralize organic allergens/pathogens.
The technician can help homeowners monitor cleaning tasks, from regular checking vents for obstructions to how often to clean ductwork.

Improving Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality Benefits of Media Air Filters

Since 2020, Americans have been more aware of indoor air quality issues and how they affect family health and comfort. The role that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system plays in keeping indoor spaces healthy was also highlighted. And for good reason.

The variety and quantity of airborne contaminants is quite amazing.

Dust and dander are composed of skin and hair from family members, both human and furry members
There are microscopic insects, dust mites, that attach themselves to dust particles and consume them. These insects trigger allergies in some people.
Pollen and mold spores are reproductive cells from plants and fungi that also trigger allergies and asthma.
Of course, bacteria and viruses are known pathogens, causing illnesses and diseases.
Carpet, adhesives, finishes, and furniture produce volatile organic compounds.
Various chemicals enter the home from the exhaust and manufacturing from the local environment.

For these reasons and more, HVAC systems have an air filter to remove a significant percentage of these particles to keep air healthy.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers tested air filters and developed a MERV rating to help consumers purchase filters. The ratings are based on the percentage of specific-size particles the filter will remove; higher numbers indicate a higher percentage of particles being removed.

Most air conditioners are designed to receive a 1” thick air filter
These filters are made of either fiberglass mesh or wood fiber (paper). These filters are often pleated to give a greater surface for capturing airborne particles.
Residential HVAC systems are not designed to use ultra-high MERV-rated filters, since they restrict airflow and hamper the performance of the system.

If indoor air quality is extremely important for your family, perhaps due to severe allergies, asthma, or other breathing illnesses, investigate a media filter to see whether it can improve indoor air quality in your home.

Media air filters are thicker, 3” to 4” thick. This increases the number of fiber layers without making the openings too small for effective air movement.
The combination of layers traps 98% of particles, including particles as small as .1 microns in diameter.
Since media filters are made from synthetic fibers, they carry an electrostatic charge, attracting very small airborne particles.

Media Filter Pros

Media filters remove a larger percentage of airborne particles than regular MERV filters. This keeps the air healthier and surfaces cleaner.
Some media have a charcoal layer to trap odors and gases; MERV filters do not.
By removing more particles without obstructing airflow, media filters are better equipped to improve HVAC efficiency and performance. This can lead to fewer repairs and extended system longevity.
Media filters do not need to be replaced as often. They need to be replaced every year or two, depending on how much you use the HVAC system.

Media Filter Cons

A 3” to 4” filter will not fit in a slot designed for 1” filters. To retrofit a system, a media filter will need a cabinet designed to accept the filter.
Media filters are more expensive than MERV-rated filters, BUT, since they do not have to be replaced as often, the cost is very similar to the cost of replacement.

All Cool AC Indoor Air Quality professionals can verify whether your HVAC system can accommodate a new media air filter.

6 Winter AC Maintenance Katy Tasks

AC Maintenance Katy Tasks to Complete Before Winter

It is still warm, but cold weather is still coming. For the next few months, we can count on some cold nights and the occasional (and inconvenient) Alberta Clipper shaking things up a bit. That means homeowners need to pay attention to the furnace system in preparation.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 1

If you have not scheduled a preventative maintenance visit by your preferred HVAC professional. Preventative maintenance includes accessing and testing electrical components with specialized equipment. Regular PM visits help catch glitches while they are small and avoid many major repairs. These visits should be scheduled in the off-peak seasons—spring or fall.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 2

The most important do-it-yourself maintenance task for homeowners is changing the air filter regularly. (That term often appears in HVAC care.) Air filters collect airborne particles with every cooling and heating cycle, but after a few months, the dust collection threatens to clog the filter. A clogged filter restricts the airflow and forces the whole system to work harder—especially the blower motor.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 3

Make sure to change the batteries in the thermostat annually. This ON/OFF switch has a mini-computer with a very low-voltage system, but it will not work without power. It is programmable, so select the temperature setting and schedule temp changes to meet the family routine.

While you have new batteries, change the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as well. They are not directly tied to the furnace but provide important safety alerts in case something goes wrong.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 4

Clean the area around the furnace. If your home has a mechanical closet for the HVAC system, it should not be used as a storage closet. Whether it uses natural gas or electricity, the furnace gets hot enough to ignite paper, wood, and most clothing; most household items that might be stored near a furnace are combustible. Take time to remove items at least 2 feet from the furnace. Remove any cobwebs and sweep the area thoroughly as an extra fire safety measure.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 5

If you have a natural gas furnace, observe the burner assembly, checking for rust or excess soot. Turn the furnace on and observe the flame. The flame should be blue; a yellow flame is unhealthy and needs to be checked by a professional.

If you have a heat pump, make sure the outdoor condenser coil has been cleaned with a garden hose. Rake leaves and lawn debris away from the base of the unit and trim shrubs or decorative grass at least 2” in every direction.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 6

Fall is a good time to check attic insulation and the weather-tight seal around windows and doors. A 1/8” gap along the side of a 24” window is the equivalent of an opening in the wall 1” x 3”. These gaps let in more cold air than you might think, so now is the perfect time to close them up. First, feel for drafts around each window and door. Second, carefully run an incense stick or lit candle around the edges of each window and door. Home improvement stores carry the appropriate caulk to apply to weatherproof the openings.

While the temperatures are mild, stick your head into the attic to examine the insulation quality. A nice carpet of insulation approximately 12” deep should blanket the entire attic. Adding insulation whenever needed can make a home much more comfortable year-round.

AC Maintenance Katy Task 7

If it has been a while since the ducts were cleaned, investigate further and consider cleaning the ductwork. Whenever the air stops moving during a heating or cooling cycle, the heavier-than-air particles begin to sink to every surface including the insides of ducts. After a few years, a thick layer of dust can accumulate. This does not interfere with HVAC operation, but it does contribute to poor indoor air quality.

Prepare Your Home for Winter: Essential AC Maintenance Katy to Prevent Breakdowns and Boost Efficiency

Winter AC maintenance Katy is crucial to ensure your system operates efficiently during the colder months, preventing unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. Regular maintenance, such as inspecting the furnace, cleaning ducts, and replacing filters, helps improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality. AC maintenance Katy technicians at All Cool AC & Heating will ensure thorough inspections, expert care, and peace of mind that your system is ready to keep you comfortable all season long.

4 Warning Signs You Need a Furnace Replacement

4 Red Flags That Indicate It’s Time for a Furnace Replacement

Facing a problem before it becomes an emergency is much easier and usually much cheaper than waiting until an emergency arises. This is certainly true regarding furnace replacement.

HVAC systems are composed of components that heat and cool a home (along with providing fresh, clean air and removing humidity). Both hot and cold extreme temperatures put the most stress on HVAC performance, so a breakdown or failure generally happens when the system is needed the most. This also creates stress of a different nature on families and HVAC professionals—the need for rapid repair or replacement under duress. A few observations can help a homeowner avoid HVAC emergencies.

1 Age Investigation

Do you know how old your HVAC system is? If you were not the homeowner who installed the system, find the serial number plate. Do an internet search of the make and serial number to determine the age of the system.

The average HVAC system will function properly for 15 to 20 years; regular maintenance can add 5 years to the useful life. If your system is approaching or has passed this age, begin to monitor performance and make plans to replace the system. Pay attention to maintenance reports and repair schedules. Plan a furnace replacement and do not wait too long.

2 Visual Inspections

Observation by homeowners can often uncover potential major problems. Rust anywhere on the system indicates age. Rust or cracks on the burner assembly of a furnace need to be addressed immediately. Discoloration and loose connections on any part of the furnace or air conditioning components can be a precursor to problems in the immediate future.

The flame of a natural gas or propane-powered furnace should burn with a blue flame. If you observe a yellow flame, it indicates incomplete combustion and the production of excessive carbon monoxide rather than carbon dioxide. The other product being produced in excess is soot, carbon powder, that will begin to coat the burner assembly and heat exchanger.

Excessive dirt inside the home is also an indication that the system is struggling. If you continue to find excessive dust near the supply or return vents after changing the air filter, this indicates loose duct connections somewhere in the ductwork. Vacuuming, mopping, and dusting will also result in collecting more dust than normal.

3 Listen for Differences

Normally, the sounds of the HVAC system blend into the background noise of the household. When heating or cooling cycles become noticeably louder or include unusual sounds, it is more than just annoying. Thumping, grinding, or screeching sounds are not normal and need to be addressed by an HVAC professional. When normal sounds—the hum of electricity or the “whoosh” of moving air—are significantly louder than normal, this should prompt a call to an HVAC professional. Additional noises or increased volume generally indicate trouble in the near future that can lead to a Furnace Replacement.

4 Check the Utility/Repair Bills

An aging system will inevitably lose efficiency; there are several reasons for this phenomenon, but it happens to the best of systems. This might be hard to discern since the price of energy is on the rise. The best indication is to check the number of kilowatt hours needed during the heating/cooling seasons from year to year. A new system may be 50% more efficient than an old system.

If your system requires frequent small repairs, add the repair costs together to get a clearer picture of the system’s health.

Investigate the cost of the equipment and installation of a new HVAC system; professionals can give a quote or ballpark figure. Compare this figure to potential component repair or furnace replacement to determine whether it is more cost-effective to replace a system rather than repair it.

The Essential Guide to AC Maintenance

Why Regular AC Maintenance Katy is Crucial for Optimal Performance

Summer is over and, boy, did that air conditioner work hard! It is a good thing that the system gets several months of rest. Well, not really. Consider this:

Texas has about 2 million heat pumps—more than any state in the Union. Heat pumps use the same equipment as air conditioners but run the process in reverse.

All central heat/air conditioning systems share components, so there is no rest.

For these reasons and more, your HVAC system needs annual maintenance. Here are a few more considerations.

Fewer Surprise Breakdowns

When a technician cleans, tests, and inspects an HVAC system, they uncover evidence problems are developing—wear and stress that might not show up yet. These problems can be repaired or replaced before they cause a midnight failure on the coldest night of the year. Emergency repairs can be:

Very inconvenient
Unsafe
On a “first-come-first-served” basis

AC Maintenance Katy will not guarantee that no breakdowns will happen, but it significantly reduces the risk of failure.

Less Energy Equals Less Dollars

HVAC, like other mechanical systems, micro-stresses wear away at parts constantly. When the thermostat calls for heat, 220 volts of electricity suddenly surge through switches and wires, and a sudden shock happens every time. These stresses eventually cause wear and tear, and the stress spreads to other parts. Stress makes parts work harder to complete the same task. Harder work takes more energy. All this to say, HVAC systems lose efficiency over time.

AC Maintenance Katy catches some of the stress indicators and makes corrections—repairs or replacements. Maintenance strengthens the system, easing stress. Less energy equals fewer dollars.

Simple Steps to Cleaner Air

A significant task in AC Maintenance Katy is cleaning parts and places a homeowner cannot reach. Homeowners should replace the air filter regularly—at least once every three months, so a new filter might not be that important. But the technician might be a wealth of information about which filter to use.

For homeowners with a tendency to purchase the least expensive air filter, a technician can explain the benefits of a filter upgrade.
For homeowners with a tendency to go overboard, a technician can help avoid damage to the system from an inappropriate filter.

An optimal filter is a high-quality filter that meets the specifications of each HVAC system.

A technician can also give a homeowner an idea of how dirty the ductwork is and recommend a duct cleaning company to complete the job. Duct cleaners recommend cleaning every 3 to 5 years, but an HVAC technician can upgrade the information, to let homeowners make an informed decision.

Indoor air quality impacts a family’s health, so ask the necessary questions.

Extending Useful Years

The average air conditioning system lasts between 15 and 20 years, but a well-maintained air conditioning system lasts 20 to 25 years. Changing that air filter, completing annual maintenance, and making the necessary repairs are significant over the long run.

AC Maintenance Tips: How to Keep Your System Efficient

AC Maintenance Sugar Land: Providing Longevity And Increasing Efficiency

Frequently, we run into homeowners who are not familiar with purchasing, installing, and maintaining a building system as complex as the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system found in most modern homes. That might include:

New homeowners, learning for the first time to look after a home
A homeowner who recently experienced a major repair due to poor maintenance
A homeowner who recently replaced the HVAC and wants to protect the investment

For those folks we offer some simple tips for properly maintaining the HVAC system in your home, using a more familiar cycle of maintenance—auto maintenance.

AC Maintenance Sugar Land is Like an Oil Change

Dirt is the enemy of all things mechanical. In an internal combustion engine vehicle, oil keeps moving parts lubricated, but it also cleans the remnants of combustion–carbon and other chemicals–that can cling to the same moving. After a few months, the oil becomes a soup of good lubrication and collected contaminants. The filter helps some, but it all needs to be changed frequently.

HVAC maintenance includes a change in the air filter and instructions on the need to change the filter often—about every three months for most settings. Maintenance will include cleaning the condenser unit, the outdoor portion most often associated with air conditioning.

Dust, pollen, and grass clippings can completely coat the outside of this network of pipes, potentially causing the compressor to overheat. The technician will also warn you when the ductwork needs to be cleaned.

AC Maintenance Sugar Land is Like Tire Care

A car with flat tires cannot perform the primary function it was designed for—transportation. Vehicle maintenance includes keeping the tires properly inflated and preventing air from leaking out of the tires. HVAC maintenance also includes a touch of attention that resembles tire care.

All air conditioning and some heating functions require a closed loop of pipes that carry a refrigerant gas—one of several potential chemical formulas specially designed to absorb, carry, and release heat. Should this gas find a tiny hole and escape, the air conditioner will cease to cool and the heat pump will cease to heat properly.

Preventative maintenance tests the pressure of the refrigerant gas to ensure the network is properly “inflated” to perform heating and cooling tasks. Even a slight decrease in pressure can indicate a leak which will result in the loss of all the gas.

AC Maintenance Sugar Land is Like Battery Checks

Internal combustion engines require the precise delivery of electric charge in the proper sequence. The whole vehicle is controlled by complex electronics, from headlights to the dashboard, and all the cool gadgets available on current models. Both natural gas and electric HVAC systems have the same dependence on electronics; checking these components is essential for both the efficiency and longevity of the whole system.

The thermostat is the ignition for an HVAC system, the ON/OFF switch. Coincidentally, the thermostat is run on battery power and the batteries need to be changed every so often.
Sensors are in place throughout the system to ensure performance, efficiency, and safety. For instance, when heat is needed, the thermostat signals the burner assembly and the burner assembly ignites to produce heat. When the desired temperature is reached inside the home, the thermostat signals the burner to stop, and it does. However, the heat exchanger has plenty of heat left inside, so a sensor does not shut off the blower motor until the heat exchanger cools off sufficiently.

No part of this building system is unnecessary, and every part needs to be maintained regularly. It is recommended that homeowners schedule a preventative maintenance visit annually.

AC Repair: AC Tune Up Checklist

AC Repair and AC Tune Ups

An air conditioner is such a part of life in the deep South that we take it for granted and know very little about this important building system. The system surrounds us and contributes to the background noise of life. Knowing a little about the heating, ventilation, and AC Repair can be very useful.

Three visible components deserve attention.

Various vents can be found in every room, transporting air from the spaces to the central cabinet and back again.
A central HVAC cabinet may be located in a closet, attic, garage, or basement.
The outdoor portion of the system is generally called the condenser unit, although it completes several functions.

Both the central cabinet and condenser can complete both heating and cooling functions.

AC Repair: Ductwork Details

Sheet metal or plastic ducts circulate pressurized air throughout the home. The ducts should be sealed and insulated for the best results.

The blower motor pushes air from the central cabinet to the various spaces of the home. This air may be heated, cooled, or just circulating; it should be both fresh and drier than outdoor summer air.
The same blower motor is drawing air from various portions of the home. This ensures that air is circulating, mixing warm and cool air. It also keeps the air pressure balanced.

AC Repair: The Central Cabinet

This structure is often a tall, square assembly, with various important modules.

The blower motor spins a fan, pushing air out and pulling air into the central chamber. This chamber is where the air is cooled or heated, depending on the season. During the cooling season, the air is also dehumidified in this same chamber.
The air filter cleans the air as it enters the cabinet. Be aware! Even simple filters are very efficient, so make sure to change the filter often—at least every three months.
The evaporator coil receives the refrigerant when the pressure is released, dropping the temperature to about 40 degrees. This cools the air and causes moisture to condense on the coil and drip away.
The heater is also housed in the central cabinet. The furnace may be natural gas or electric-powered. The blower motor is responsible for moving the warmed air throughout the home during the heating season.

AC Repair: Condenser Unit

This portion of the HVAC system is also complex and full of function.

The compressor motor pressurizes refrigerant gas to about 400 psi. This motor is the powerhouse of the whole system and must be maintained properly.
The expansion valve is also located here. It releases the gas upon demand. When a gas is pressurized and then suddenly released, the result is immediate cooling of the gas—the source of air conditioning. The evaporator coil is the recipient of the cooled refrigerant gas.
The condenser cabinet is a hollow network of tubes and fins designed to disperse heat. The cool refrigerant gas collects heat from indoors and brings it outdoors. This gas must be cooled before it reenters the compressor motor to avoid overheating it.
The condenser unit of heat pumps reverses this process and serves to heat the home during the winter. The refrigerant collects heat from the winter air and moves it inside.

AC Repair: The Control Mechanism

The ON/OFF switch is called the thermostat. It is mounted on an interior wall and measures the changes in temperature in the immediate vicinity. When the temperature lowers or rises past the setting, it calls for a heating or cooling cycle until the desired temperature is reached again.

7 Katy AC Installation Tips for Homeowners

Katy AC Installation Pointers for Homeowners

As summer draws to a close, it is a good time to assess the health of your residential air conditioner. This assessment can determine whether the system is functioning properly, needs repairs, or needs to be replaced. If repairs or a Katy AC Installation are needed, the break between cooling seasons will give adequate time to make the necessary changes.

What should determine whether an air conditioning system will be repaired or replaced? Here are seven indicators to help a homeowner make this decision.

The Age of the System

Mechanical building systems, unfortunately, have a limited useful life. The range for the average HVAC system is between 15 to 20 years; completing annual professional maintenance can add another 5 years to most systems. If several of the indicators on this list are coupled with an aging system, replacement should be a serious consideration.

R-22 Use

Air conditioner and heat pump systems use refrigerant gas of various chemical formulas. Certain formulas have been determined to be harmful to the ozone layer of the earth and have been prohibited from use. R-22 is one of those harmful formulas, and in 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency developed a plan to phase out R-22 use. R-22 is no longer being produced, so the available supply is dwindling. This is making R-22 prohibitively expensive to replace during repairs and recharging. Soon the supply will run out.

Frequent Repairs

An aging system can be expected to need occasional repairs, but when the frequency and expense of repairs increase rapidly, this is a good indication that Katy AC Installation is imminent. Remember to add the cost of repairs—they accumulate quickly.

Poor Efficiency

Each year, an HVAC can be expected to lose efficiency, but after several years, the loss of efficiency becomes noticeable on the utility bill. The improved technology of a new system can make a new HVAC system significantly more efficient—enough to notice on the utility bill.

Poor Performance

The HVAC system is designed to heat, cool, clean, and move the air effectively throughout the home. It also removes moisture from the air. These tasks are accomplished to make the home more comfortable, healthy, and safe. When the system cannot complete these functions to the satisfaction of the family, it is a good indicator that a replacement will need to be made soon.

Poor Air Quality

The air filter is the primary cleaning agent for indoor air, but removing humidity also prevents mold and mildew blooms. Poor performance, resulting in poor indoor air quality, may be indicated by noticeable increases in dust on surfaces or a sticky feel on skin and furniture surfaces. (These indicators can be hazardous to family health, so do not ignore them).

Unusual Smells and Sounds

Normally, the HVAC system anonymously runs in the background of the family schedule with few sensory markers beyond the breeze from supply vents. When the HVAC operation becomes noticeable, with unusual grinding, buzzing, or bumping noises, this is not good. When the air smells musty or has an odd odor, it indicates the system is not functioning properly.

Any one of these indicators is not sufficient information to make a clear determination concerning Katy AC Installation. However, a combination of these indicators and the number of indicators together should be sufficient information to help a homeowner decide.
