AIR FILTER — CLEAN AIR, BETTER PERFORMANCE

AIR FILTER — CLEAN AIR, BETTER PERFORMANCE

Your A/C air filter is one of the simplest but most important parts of your system. It keeps dust and debris out while helping your system run efficiently.

✔ Improves indoor air quality
✔ Protects your system from dirt buildup
✔ Helps maintain strong airflow
✔ Increases energy efficiency
✔ Extends system lifespan

⚠️ A dirty air filter can restrict airflow, reduce cooling, and cause your system to work harder.

Common signs it’s time to change your filter:
• Weak airflow from vents
• Higher energy bills
• Dust buildup around vents
• Uneven cooling
• System running longer than usual

In Texas, filters can get dirty quickly—regular replacement is key.

Most homes should replace filters every 1–3 months depending on usage and conditions.

Small change, big difference in comfort and efficiency.

CONTACTOR — THE SWITCH THAT POWERS YOUR A/C

CONTACTOR — THE SWITCH THAT POWERS YOUR A/C

Your A/C contactor is an essential electrical component that controls the flow of power to your compressor and outdoor unit. When your thermostat calls for cooling, the contactor makes it happen.

✔ Sends power to the compressor & fan
✔ Ensures proper system start/stop
✔ Supports reliable operation
✔ Helps maintain consistent cooling
✔ Keeps your system running safely

⚠️ A worn or damaged contactor can cause your A/C to fail, short cycle, or not turn on at all.

Common causes of contactor issues:
• Burnt or pitted contact points
• Electrical wear over time
• Dirt, insects, or debris inside the unit
• Voltage issues

Warning signs:
• A/C not turning on
• Clicking noise from outdoor unit
• System turning on and off repeatedly
• Outdoor unit not running
• Weak or no cooling

Ignoring a faulty contactor can lead to bigger electrical problems and system failure.

Regular maintenance helps catch contactor wear before it becomes a costly repair.

Small switch. Big role in your comfort. ❄️
