Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the frequently asked questions we receive about AC maintenance in Cypress and Houston, TX, are:
How long does professional AC maintenance take?
It only takes a few hours to do what we do! Your professional AC maintenance will include inspecting:
- Air filter

How often should I do maintenance on my air conditioner?
Schedule professional AC maintenance in Southeast Texas once every year (March/April) — at a minimum. By August, we still have more months of hot weather ahead, so your fall HVAC maintenance should ideally include AC and heating.
DIY maintenance includes:
- Clean the outside condenser unit every 30–60 days. Leave a 2-foot clearance between the unit and shrubs/plants.
- Clean your registers every 30–60 days.
- Inspect/replace air filters as needed.
- Remove debris/dust accumulation from your indoor AC unit area every 60–90 days.
- Use ceiling fans year-round for better air circulation.
What are signs I need AC maintenance?
It’s always good to request an HVAC inspection and tune-up when you move into a new-to-you home with an existing system. We can give you an idea of how much life is left in your heating and cooling system.
Other signs you need AC maintenance, repair, or replacement are:
- Air smells (and feels) dank or humid
- Air is too warm
- Higher energy bills for no reason
- Higher humidity
- Leaks
- Need to adjust the thermostat frequently
- Noises
- Short-cycling/tripped circuits
- Slow/no air
- Some rooms are too hot; others too cold
What happens if I don't keep up with maintenance?
If you don’t have professional AC maintenance, your heating and cooling system won’t last as long. It will operate inefficiently, which means your monthly energy bills will be higher. For most people, maintenance = pride of ownership.
If you plan to sell your home soon, a poorly maintained AC will lower your home’s value in a highly competitive market.
