Understanding SEER Ratings

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures AC efficiency. In Texas, the minimum requirement is now 15 SEER for new installations.

14-15 SEER
Standard
16-18 SEER
Efficient
19+ SEER
Premium

Higher SEER units cost more initially but provide significant energy savings over time, especially in Houston's hot climate.

Signs It's Time for Replacement

  • Your system is over 10-15 years old
  • Repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost
  • Your energy bills are consistently increasing
  • Your AC still uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out in 2020)
  • Uneven cooling or humidity control issues

Benefits of a New System

  • Energy savings of 20-40% with high-efficiency models
  • Enhanced comfort with better temperature and humidity control
  • Improved indoor air quality
  • Reduced carbon footprint
  • Modern features like smart thermostat compatibility

Emergency Prevention Tips

  • Change Filters Regularly

    Dirty filters restrict airflow, forcing your system to work harder and potentially leading to breakdowns.

  • Keep Outdoor Unit Clear

    Ensure your outdoor unit has at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides and is free of debris, vegetation, and obstructions.

  • Address Unusual Sounds Promptly

    Don't ignore strange noises from your AC system. Early intervention can prevent more serious failures.

Montrose Air Conditioning FAQs

Common questions from Montrose residents about air conditioning services.

What are the best AC options for historic Montrose bungalows?

For historic Montrose homes without existing ductwork, ductless mini-split systems or high-velocity systems are excellent options. Mini-splits require minimal structural changes and allow for zone cooling, while high-velocity systems use smaller ducts that can fit within existing walls and ceilings. For homes with existing ductwork, we can install energy-efficient traditional systems that maintain your home's architectural integrity.

How often should Montrose homeowners service their AC systems?

Due to Houston's hot, humid climate and the extended cooling season in Montrose, we recommend two professional maintenance visits per year: one in early spring before heavy use begins and another in fall after the peak season. Additionally, filters should be checked monthly and replaced as needed, especially during summer when systems run constantly.

What size AC system is appropriate for a typical Montrose apartment or townhome?

System sizing depends on multiple factors beyond just square footage, including ceiling height, insulation quality, window efficiency, and sun exposure. Many Montrose townhomes (1,500-2,000 sq ft) typically require 2.5-3.5 ton systems, while apartments (800-1,200 sq ft) usually need 1.5-2.5 tons. However, we always perform a proper Manual J load calculation to determine the exact sizing for your specific space.

Are there any rebates available for energy-efficient AC installations in Montrose?

Yes, Montrose residents may qualify for several efficiency incentives. CenterPoint Energy offers rebates for high-efficiency systems, and federal tax credits are available for qualifying energy-efficient installations. Additionally, various manufacturers offer seasonal rebates. During your consultation, we'll provide information about all current rebate opportunities to help maximize your savings.

How do Montrose's older electrical systems impact AC installation options?

Many historic Montrose homes have older electrical systems that may need upgrades to support modern air conditioning. We perform thorough electrical assessments before installation and can coordinate with licensed electricians when panel upgrades or dedicated circuits are needed. For homes with electrical limitations, we can recommend energy-efficient systems with lower startup amperage requirements or staged systems that reduce electrical load.
