HVAC/R stands for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration. In simple terms, it’s the system that keeps your home or business comfortable all year long. And for commercial businesses we also service, repair and install all types of freezers, coolers, refrigerators and ice machines.

Your HVAC system works by moving air and transferring heat to keep your space warm in winter and cool in summer. Components like your thermostat, blower motor, coils, compressor, and refrigerant all work together to maintain comfort.

Most HVAC systems last 10–20 years, depending on the type of equipment, usage, maintenance, and installation quality.

Routine maintenance can help your system last longer and run more efficiently.

The right system size depends on:

• Square footage
• Insulation
• Window placement
• Ceiling height
• Home layout
• Local climate

Bigger isn’t always better. An oversized system can actually reduce comfort and efficiency. At ChillTex, we properly size systems because it’s gotta look good and work good.

Yes! ChillTex proudly serves both homes and businesses with HVAC repair, maintenance, installation, geothermal, boilers, and mechanical services.

A few common reasons include:

• Dirty air filter
• Thermostat set incorrectly
• Frozen evaporator coil
• Low refrigerant
• Restricted airflow
• Electrical problems

If your AC is blowing warm air, don’t sweat it—give us a call.

Ice on your AC usually points to:

• Poor airflow
• Dirty filters
• Blocked vents
• Refrigerant issues
• Dirty coils

If you notice ice, turn the system off and contact our team.

We recommend annual AC maintenance, ideally in spring before summer heat arrives.

Preventative maintenance helps:

• Lower energy bills
• Reduce breakdowns
• Extend equipment life
• Improve cooling performance

That depends on the age, condition, and repair history.

Replacement may make sense if:

• Your AC is 10–15+ years old
• Repairs are becoming frequent
• Energy bills are rising
• Cooling is inconsistent

We’ll always give honest recommendations—not pressure.

Your AC should remove humidity, too. If your home feels sticky, possible causes include:

• Dirty filters
• Refrigerant issues
• Airflow problems
• Oversized equipment

• Squealing: Motor or belt issue

If something sounds off, it probably is.

Possible causes:

• Dirty air filter
• Frozen coils
• Compressor issues
• Electrical fault
• Failing fan motor
• Overloaded circuit

Repeated breaker trips should be checked promptly.

Typically once per year during regular maintenance.

If your environment is dusty or debris-heavy, more frequent cleaning may be recommended.

We recommend annual AC maintenance, ideally in spring before summer heat arrives.

Preventative maintenance helps:

• Lower energy bills
• Reduce breakdowns
• Extend equipment life
• Improve cooling performance

Most filters should be changed every 1–3 months depending on:
