Air Conditioning Installation & Replacement
You may purchase the highest rated air conditioner on the market, but without proper installation, you won’t get the most out of your investment. Homeowners sometimes don’t realize that A/C installation is not something that requires skill and expertise to execute properly. This is why there is an entire HVAC certification association with strict regulations. No matter which air conditioning you choose, it must be installed correctly by certified professionals to ensure that it is working to its full potential and will continue to do so for years to come.
FS Renovations has installed all types of air conditioning systems in thousands of homes across the US. From central air conditioning to window or wall units, our certified technicians know exactly how to help you select the right option for your home so that you are saving money on energy usage, maintaining a high standard of air quality, and staying as comfortable in every season.
Signs You May Need A/C Repair
There are a variety of different symptoms that could indicate that your home’s cooling system is in need of repair. When your air conditioning shuts down completely, it is an obvious indicator that you are in need of a repair visit. However, keeping your eye out for the following symptoms could allow you to recognize an issue early before the problem gets worse and ends up costing you more in major repairs or even a full system replacement.
If you are noticing any of the following signs, your air conditioning could likely benefit from a repair visit:
• Warm air blowing from the vents
• Weak or insufficient airflow
• Poor indoor air quality
• High indoor humidity levels
• Foul odors coming from the unit or vents
• Unusual noises
• Water leaks

- Stable, Comfortable Indoor Climate
- Increased Energy Efficiency

When your air conditioning is experiencing some sort of problem or malfunction, the HVAC experts at FS Renovations will happily carry out a full assessment to identify the source of it. From there, we will make honest, straightforward recommendations about what we believe to be your best course of action.
In some cases, paying for a significant repair of an old air condtioning unit with poor energy-efficiency may not be your wisest investment. Continuing to spend your hard earned dollars on a cooling system that is on its last legs is often just delaying the inevitable.

However, our role is to simply inform you of all the factors that go into this decision and we will always defer to your decision when it comes to how you wish to invest in your home. We are more concerned with building a loyal, satisfied customer base than making a few extra bucks. Reach out to us today!
Frequently Asked Questions A/C Repair Vs Replacement
Here are some of the common questions we receive in DFW Area.
Why is my AC not cooling my house properly? There are several potential reasons for this. It could be due to a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a refrigerant leak, a malfunctioning compressor or condenser fan, frozen evaporator coils, or issues with your ductwork. It’s best to have a professional diagnose the exact cause.
How often should I change my AC filter? Generally, you should change your air filter every 1-3 months. However, this can vary depending on factors like the type of filter you use, whether you have pets, and how often you run your AC. A dirty filter reduces efficiency and can even damage your system.
What are some signs that my AC needs repair? Be on the lookout for warm air blowing from vents, unusual noises (banging, hissing, clicking), strange odors, inconsistent cooling, frequent cycling on and off, and increased energy bills without a change in usage. Any of these could indicate a problem.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my AC system? Regular maintenance is key. This includes changing filters, cleaning coils and fins, ensuring proper airflow, and checking for duct leaks. You can also consider installing a smart thermostat, using ceiling fans to circulate cool air, and making sure your home is properly insulated.
What is involved in routine AC maintenance? A typical AC maintenance service includes inspecting and cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels and pressure, inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, cleaning the condensate drain line, and testing the overall operation of the system.
How often should I schedule AC maintenance? It’s generally recommended to have your AC system professionally maintained at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. Regular maintenance can help prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and prolong the lifespan of your unit.
What should I do if my AC unit freezes up? If you notice ice buildup on your AC unit, turn it off immediately. Check your air filter to see if it’s dirty and restricting airflow. Sometimes, simply replacing a dirty filter can resolve the issue. However, if the problem persists, it could indicate a refrigerant leak or airflow issues that require professional attention.
How long does an average AC unit last? With proper maintenance, a typical central air conditioning unit can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, or sometimes even longer. Factors like the quality of the unit, how often it’s used, and how well it’s maintained can affect its lifespan.
