Lets start off this post with the most common questions when it comes to AC repair in Dallas, TX.
Number 1 when it comes to the cost of getting a licensed and insured AC repair technician that knows what they are doing to come out to your property and tell you what is wrong with the system, this is called a “Diagnosis fee” also know as a “Service charge”. Either one refers to the money you agree to have a company come and tell you what is wrong with your AC. With that said we have a free service call with repair. That means that when you have us come out and look at your system we are going to give you a few options. When we present you with these options you can choose to purchase one of them or not. If you do not purchase any services for your AC from us then we will need to collect the service fee. If you do purchase anything from us then we waive that service fee charge and only charge you for the quote.
Number 2 the second most common question when it comes to AC repair in Dallas is without a doubt the freon question. “How much do you charge for freon? & How much do i need?” With these questions asked we have to take a second and ask a few questions our selves. With the integration of new freon types in the more recent past we have plenty of options to put freon in your system. Also we have to determine what type of freon your unit was originally designed to run on from the factory. With that information we can get you the price of the freon type that you need and possibly an alternative solution to replacing with the original freon. What i mean is that if you are on the old R22 freon we have several options that we can replace your R22 freon with but it will involve removing all of your freon that you currently have. When we do that any future freon will be the new type and will not have to be removed just matched.
Number 3 is a little bit of a toss up, but for sure i would say that “How much is it for an AC maintenance”. This is an easy question for the most part. Excluding rooftop units and commercial any maintenance that we perform on residential AC units will be $125 per system. When we are maintaining more than one unit we will charge $100 per system. Getting your AC maintenance performed yearly on your home or office air conditioning system is important. When we talk about efficiency in new AC units we are forgetting that we can get our current unit to run more efficiently right now with the right knowledge. Change your air filters, most need to be changed every 30 days, get your outside AC unit cleaned. The outside unit will trap dust and dirt all year long and eventually it will also need to be cleaned. Getting more air to flow through the outside coil will increase your efficiency. Make sure you do not have any plants or trees growing within 12 inches of the outside unit for fear of cutting down air flow.
Keeping your unit serviced and checked every year is the best way to extend then life of your air conditioning system and keep you electric bill down while doing it.
