It's that time of year when homeowners are scheduling their annual Spring Tune-ups to ensure their systems are working properly for the Texas heat. While some feel that since their HVAC system is working, there is no need to check. If you are one of those that like to wait, you may want to think twice. 1604 AC is finding a ton of mold in many homes. Call us today for your FREE mold inspection!

Clean air ducts are the foundation for good indoor air quality. Homeowners and business owners want to breathe clean indoor air for themselves, their guests, employees, and customers.   Over several years, air ducts can also become contaminated with mold, fungi, and bacteria, as well as dust. Routine HVAC doesn’t remove them. Proper removal with equipment like Rotobrush’s air duct cleaning machines and systems is one way to improve indoor air quality.

1604 Air Conditioning and Heating, LLC offers state-of-the-art duct cleaning to ensure the air you take in is clean. Call us today to get your home free of mold and dust today! 210-695-8080

Don't ignore that freon leak

Many service calls requested for an HVAC system not cooling is due to low levels of Freon, or coolant.  Really, freon should never need to be replaced. If your system needs R-22 or R-410A, that means you have a leak. Rather than continuing to pay these increased costs to replenish the leaking coolant, we recommend to repair the leak. We have special diagnostic tools to detect leaks on your coil.

Our HVAC technicians can also advise you if it makes sense to continue investing in your existing A/C system, or if you’re better off replacing it. 

The good news is that, if you do invest in a new unit, it will be more environmentally friendly and more energy efficient. You’ll save money on your monthly cooling costs, as those long-term savings can really add up.

Maintenance for your A/C system is critical to ensure your system continues to operate properly. One way to help your system during hard running times is to clean or replace dirty filters. You should clean or replace your HVAC system filter once a month during the cooling season. Vacuum off debris, then wash the filter in warm, soapy water; be sure filters are dry before you reinstall them. Replace a filter if it's damaged. Call 210-695-8080 for any service, repair, or replacement!

Many customers call during peak summer to schedule an A/C tune-up. While it is advised to get your air conditioner checked, suggested times are Fall and Spring. 

During this scheduled check, a technician should:

 

• Check for correct amount of refrigerant


• Test for refrigerant leaks using a leak detector


• Capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system, instead of
  illegally releasing it to the atmosphere


• Check for and seal duct leakage in central systems


• Measure airflow through the evaporator coil


• Verify the correct electric control sequence and make sure that the heating
  system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously


• Inspect electric terminals/clean and tighten connections


• Oil motors and check belts for tightness and wear


• Check the accuracy of the thermostat.

Suffering from allergies? The cause could be your A/C filter.
Checking your a/c filters monthly could save you headache-and money. The air quality in your home could be worse than outdoors. Dirty filters can cause uneven airflow, allergies, raise energy bills and possibly make for costly repairs to your a/c system.

Changing or cleaning your air filters can keep your air conditioning system running efficient, improve the air quality of your home, and reduce your energy bills.

The first of the month is around the corner. Check those filters!
