The Best AC Repair Is the One You Never Need

Most AC breakdowns are preventable. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, clogged drain lines—these problems don't happen overnight. They build up slowly, and by the time your AC stops working, it's 100 degrees and you're stuck waiting for an emergency repair.

Air Boss Refrigeration offers maintenance plans that catch problems before they cost you money and comfort. Our technicians inspect, clean, and tune your system twice a year so it runs efficiently all summer and stays reliable for years to come. In South Texas, where your AC runs 8+ months a year, this isn't optional—it's essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
    We recommend twice-yearly maintenance: once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. In South Texas, AC maintenance is especially important since systems run nearly year-round and work harder than in cooler climates.
  • What are the benefits of a maintenance plan?
    Maintenance plan members receive scheduled visits, priority service, discounts on repairs, no overtime charges for emergencies, and peace of mind knowing their system is professionally maintained. Most members also see lower energy bills and fewer unexpected repairs.
  • Does maintenance really extend equipment life?
    Yes, regularly maintained systems typically last 5-10 years longer than neglected ones. Maintenance prevents the wear and strain that causes premature failure. It also maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, which often require proof of regular maintenance.
  • What's included in a maintenance visit?
    We check refrigerant levels, clean coils, inspect electrical connections, test safety controls, lubricate moving parts, check thermostat calibration, inspect ductwork, and replace your filter. You'll get a report with system condition and any recommendations.
  • How much does a maintenance plan cost?
    Our residential maintenance plans include two tune-ups per year (spring and fall), priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. The plan typically pays for itself with one prevented repair or efficiency savings. Contact us for current pricing and plan options.
  • Can I do HVAC maintenance myself?
    You can change filters monthly and keep the outdoor unit clear of debris. However, professional maintenance requires specialized tools, refrigerant handling certification, and expertise to spot developing problems. DIY maintenance can void warranties and miss critical issues.
