It's Warming up In Austin Texas!

Here at Precision Heating & Air conditioning headquarters, we are preparing for the summer rush! We are hiring more staff to serve our awesome Austin clientele, and we are expanding our office to make room for our growth spurt! These next few months are definitely our busiest time of the year, because unfortunately AC manufacturers have yet to make an air conditioner that can stand up to the Texas heat.  We have a lot of calls come in requesting an air conditioner repair. AC repairs are our specialty, but there are steps you can take to try and avoid those sticky and sweaty situations!  HVAC manufacturers recommend routine preventative maintenance to prevent the need for an air conditioning repair.  Precision Heating & Air conditioning offers a yearlong preventative maintenance agreement that is very affordable, can save you a lot of money, and prevent future air conditioning repairs!  Our AC repair technicians are trained to look for those parts that are starting to wear. Some of the most common summer air conditioning repairs are a bad capacitor, bad contactor, and a condenser fan motor that is starting to fail.  Some steps that you can take to extend the life of your air conditioner condenser are to keep debris, grass and weeds cleared away from the condensing unit. Also, those pesky fire ants that are always looking for a cool place to hide, LOVE to take over your contactor.  So placing fire ant killer around the condensing unit is always a good idea.  Give Precision Heating and Air Conditioning a call if you need an AC repair, or to have a preventative maintenance check performed. We try to have those AC system checks done before the end of April, so there is still plenty of time!

Air Conditioner theft rises as the price of copper does the same.

A person can get very frustrated if their A/C unit is not cooling their home or business properly. Can you imagine calling out your repair company and within fifteen minutes of the technician being there his diagnosis is that your outdoor unit is missing? It never occurred to anyone to take a peek outside.  Sitting where the air conditioning unit should have been is a completely empty slab. It can even be embarrassing; a technician is called to service a unit that is not there.

Is Your AC System Repaired And Ready For The Heat?

Spring Maintenance now, to avoid summer time air conditioning nightmares later!  Don’t wait until that first Texas heat wave; the time to get in touch with your friendly service technician is now. Unfortunately, odds are that during that first 100 degree day, there will be a line of customers in need of service and repairs.   Avoid having to sweat in the heat by calling and scheduling your spring maintenance check now.

Our Great Accomplishment!

Precision Heating & Air Conditioning was presented with a huge honor on Friday evening March 10, 2012.  At the Robert Madden – Carrier dealer meeting we were awarded the “Growth Leader Award” for the year of 2011.  This was a huge surprise and a great honor for our small family owned and operated company; we are growing faster than we ever could have imagined.  Our success is only because of the great families and businesses around us that support local business and choose to use Precision for any heating and cooling repairs or replacements.  We want to send our gratitude and many thanks to all of our loyal customers. We wouldn't be where we are today without your support! After only a year and a half in this location, we are already busting at the seams. In April we are excited to start renovations as we take over the office space next to us and combine the two suites, giving us double the room.  Austin has provided us a great start to what we know will be a successful endeavor.  Thank you to all of our customers, we sincerely appreciate your business and the lifelong friendships we are establishing together!

One Main Heating Problem

This time of year, a lot of our service calls seem to result in replacing a high limit switch.  So, what is a high limit switch, and why would it cause your furnace to stop heating your home? A high-limit switch is a key part of your heating system; it is designed to prevent your heater from overheating and burning up the motor. Any time airflow is restricted from passing over the heat exchanger; there is danger of the furnace overheating. There are several reasons that airflow could be restricted, a clogged filter is a common problem. The high limit switch works by shutting down the furnace at a set limit so it doesn’t continuously run and burn out the heating system.  Replacing a high limit switch is something we do often and our technicians are highly trained.  It does require dealing with electrical components, which can be extremely dangerous and is best left to a professional. This is one common issue for a heating failure that Precision Heating and Air conditioning can quickly replace and have you comfortably heating again in just one service call.  Should you find yourself cold this week; give Precision a call. We are a heating repair service company that you can trust, and know that you will only pay for the repair you need. We never charge after hours fees and we keep technicians on call 24/7/365 days a year. Call us anytime!

THE PHASEOUT OF R-22 AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU

For the last 40 years HVAC equipment manufacturers have been producing equipment that uses R-22 refrigerant.  The Montreal Protocol was established in 1987 as an international environmental agreement. It was amended in 1992 to include an obtainable timeline for the phaseout of this refrigerant.  Unfortunately, the release of R-22 into the air causes ozone depletion; it is considered greenhosue gas and contributes to global warming. Carrier was the first company to introduce R-410A into residential equipment in 1996 under the name Puron. Since there is now a better and more eco-friendly product, the EPA is phasing out R-22 refrigerant, and unfortunately the two are not interchangeable.

What Will Change

Each year, less R-22 will be manufactured, as demonstrated in the graph bellow. With the limited availability the price of R-22 has already sky rocketed and some companies might run out of refrigerant before the end of the year! Refrigerant is used in every residential air conditioner; it is an important part of the cooling process. This means that sooner rather than later, all residential home owners will be forced to replace their air conditioners, and most likely their entire heating and cooling system. Replacement of your HVAC equipment is a good investment, it will not only help the planet, but it will also cut down on your utility bills.  There might be a shortage on the old refrigerant, and possibly even the new equipment as the demand grows larger

Days For Air Conditioning Systems "Freon" Are Almost Over

What’s all the talk lately about air conditioning refrigerant?  Have you heard that the EPA is in fact discontinuing R-22 refrigerant?  What does that mean for Precision Heating & Air’s customers? Let us fill you in. The HVAC industry has created a much greener refrigerant,  410A – for more information on that, see our previous blog on 410A.  Since there is now a better and more eco-friendly product, the EPA is phasing out R-22 refrigerant, and unfortunately the two are not interchangeable.  Each year, less R-22 will be manufactured, this year there will be a 17% reduction. With the limited availability will come increased prices and some companies might run out of refrigerant before the end of the year!
