The Texas heat is coming, and your AC unit has not had to work to earn its keep all winter. Central Texas heat is a complex mixture of thermal heat and heavy humidity. Your AC system has not only the task of keeping your house cool, but pulling humidity out of the air.
The sudden strain on AC units around this time of year has left many homeowners without cooling through several nights. While the system is down, you lie awake at night wondering what could have been done to prevent this discomfort.
We understand, which is why we created the Summit AC Maintenance Plan. The maintenance plan’s goal is to ensure you are cool in the summer and warm during the winter. We do this by checking your system once in the fall and once in the spring. By doing this we prolong the life of your equipment and detect any problems before they leave you uncomfortable.
