New Air Conditioner Installation & Replacement
Your air conditioning system plays a central role in your everyday life, especially during the hot Texas summer months. A functioning air conditioner is something that many of us take for granted until that fateful day the AC unit dies.
When this happens, you need a reliable, fast HVAC service company to install a new air conditioning system. Whether you are moving into a new home or need to have your old unit replaced, the team at ACTexas is here for you when you need us most.
In sweltering Texas summers, your air conditioner is under added stress. Signs that something may be wrong with your AC include:
- Certain rooms or areas never seem to cool down
- Leaks, puddles, and condensation
- Odor (a rotten smell could be a gas leak; a burning smell could mean there's debris on or around your HVAC system)
- Difficulty breathing or other allergy symptoms
- Loud banging when the AC kicks on
- Unusually high electric bill
When our technicians visit and inspect your unit, they’ll uncover the cause behind these symptoms. Common AC problems include:
- Inadequate insulation
- Restricted airflow from dirty filters or undersized ducts
- Old or outdated system
- Short cycling due to oversized AC unit
- Corrosion or water damage

Does an air conditioner need regular maintenance?
Yes, air conditioning units are like any other piece of machinery in that they need proper maintenance in order to maximize their performance, efficiency, and lifespan. We recommend annual tune-ups for your cooling system to catch issues early and perform services such as:
- Cleaning the condensate drain line, fins, and evaporator coil
- Air duct cleaning
- Ensuring the unit is level
- Checking refrigerant for contaminants
How often should I replace AC filters?
You should replace your air filter monthly, especially if you have pets and allergies. Keeping a clean and efficient HVAC system can lower your utility bill. Consider a pleated HEPA filter or an electrostatic filter to see the greatest improvement in energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
What’s the difference between an evaporative/swamp cooler & an air conditioner?
An evaporative cooler uses water to soak cooler pads. Next, it draws outside air over the pads to cool down the air. The cool, moist outside air is then blown into your house. An air conditioning unit, in contrast, uses refrigeration inside an indoor coil to absorb heat from the air.
In the past, coolers were cheaper to use than air conditioners. These days, thanks to leaps in energy-saving technology, they’re about the same price. Additionally, an air conditioning system also provides dehumidification and filtration, while coolers are at risk of carrying mold and dust into the home.
Coolers are also more prone to leaks and can cause rusty ductwork. Due to this issue, as well as water usage and alkaline build-up, coolers require more frequent maintenance. For these reasons and more, ACTexas does not install coolers.
What is 2-stage cooling?
As seasons change and outdoor temperatures fluctuate, the 2-stage cooling method can help maintain indoor comfort and maximize energy efficiency.
One way to achieve 2-stage cooling is to use one air conditioning unit with two compressors (one small and one large). The small one is typically capable of putting out about 50% of the capacity of the larger one. Another method utilizes a single scroll unloading compressor.
Both 2-stage cooling methods allow the AC unit to run at a lower stage when the high stage is not needed. (It’s the same principle that is used in car engines that can drop out cylinders when they are not needed.)
