Ask first. We will answer before we quote.

Most people who ring an HVAC company want an answer before they want an appointment. So this site starts with the answers — the questions we are asked every week, answered in full, by topic. If yours is not here, call and ask it.

Asked every week

Eight answers, one from each topic.

Before you call

What should I check before I call?

Thermostat, breakers, filter — in that order.

Each takes under a minute. Make sure the thermostat is set to the right mode and a sensible temperature, that the breakers for both the outdoor unit and the indoor unit have not tripped, and that the filter is not visibly clogged. If all three are fine, call. If a breaker trips again after one reset, stop resetting it — that is the system telling you something is wrong.

Repairs

My air conditioner runs but the house won't cool. Is it low on refrigerant?

Sometimes — but it is not the first thing to assume.

A dusty outdoor coil, a failed fan motor, a weak capacitor, a clogged filter or an iced indoor coil all look identical from inside the house. And refrigerant does not get used up: if it is low, there is a leak somewhere, and topping it up without finding the leak just books the next call for you.

Replacing a system

Should I repair it or replace it?

We give you both numbers and say which we would choose.

It depends on what failed, the condition of everything else in the system, and what the repair costs against what the system has left in it. If the repair is the sensible choice — and it often is — that is what we recommend, in writing.

Hard freezes

What happens to a heat pump in a hard freeze?

It keeps working, but harder — and leans on backup heat.

It will go into defrost more often, which can look like steam rising off the outdoor unit; that is normal. In the coldest hours it relies more on its backup heat. If the outdoor unit is encased in ice, or the house is steadily losing temperature, call.

Hail, wind & dust

Hail hit my condenser. Will insurance cover it?

That is a question for your insurer. We document the damage.

We inspect the unit, photograph it, describe the damage in writing and tell you what it needs to work properly again. What your policy covers is between you and your insurance company, and we do not give advice about claims.

Commercial buildings

Do you work on commercial buildings?

Yes — shops, offices, restaurants, churches and small industrial.

Rooftop units, split systems and planned maintenance, scheduled around your opening hours. A commercial customer gets the same thing a homeowner does: answers first, then a written price.

Prices & paperwork

Will you tell me the price before you start?

Always, in writing, before anything billable.

The diagnostic comes first, then a written price, then your decision. We do not publish prices on this website because they depend on the equipment and the job — a number printed here would be wrong for most people reading it.

What we won't do

Is there anything you won't do?

Yes, and we would rather say so up front.

We will not advise on insurance claims, recommend replacing a system that has good years left, or quote a job over the phone without seeing it. We do not do roofing, electrical service upgrades or plumbing — though we will tell you when you need one of those trades.

Who we work for

Houses and businesses, equally.

Neither side is a sideline. The questions differ a little; the approach does not.

Homes

Houses, duplexes and rentals

Central air, furnaces and heat pumps across Wichita Falls, Burkburnett and Iowa Park. Repairs, replacements, seasonal service, and a lot of honest conversations about whether a system has one more summer in it.

  • Questions answered on the phone, not just appointments booked.
  • A written price before anything billable starts.
  • A straight answer when the cheap fix is the right one.

Home services

Businesses

Shops, offices, restaurants, churches, small industrial

Rooftop packaged units and split systems on the commercial buildings along Kemp, Southwest Parkway and downtown. Repairs, replacements and planned maintenance, with work done around your hours.

  • Early and late visits so you do not close to let us in.
  • One written quote per unit, so you can approve them separately.
  • A service record kept for every unit on the roof.

Business services

Why answers first

An informed customer is a better customer.

A homeowner who understands why the house won't cool is not going to be talked into a new system they do not need. A shop manager who knows what a rooftop unit's service visit should include can tell whether they are getting one.

That is fine by us. It is the kind of customer we would rather have — and the kind that tends to call back. So the answers on this site are written to be genuinely useful, whether or not you end up calling Granite Bay.
