Why Does My AC Fan Keep Running?

Your home’s air conditioner consists of a lot of moving parts. If one of these elements breaks, wears out or collects dust or dirt, your system’s efficiency can decline. Sometimes, an AC system will continually run in an attempt to cool a space – even if it can’t keep up. Poor insulation and air leaks are common causes of AC fan malfunctions. Reach out to our team to schedule your inspection or AC repair.

Why Is My Thermostat Working But No Heat?

Your thermostat connects to your heating and cooling system, signaling the unit to turn on and off. Sometimes your thermostat is functioning but not producing the right temperature air. Double-check that your thermostat is set to “heat” and your air filters are clean before reaching out for professional help. Our technicians can provide heater repairs for all makes and models!

How Do I Know If My Ductwork Needs To Be Replaced?

If your ductwork is damaged, worn or improperly installed, you could lose up to 30% of your conditioned air. If your ductwork is 15 years or older, it may show signs of damage. Whistling, dirty vents and hot and cold spots are some of the signs you might need repairs or duct replacement. Keep your AC and heater efficient year-round with duct services from Famous Dave’s Service Company.

What Does A Smart Thermostat Do?

A smart thermostat combines programmability with automatic adjustments to make controlling your home’s temperature seamless. Control your thermostat wirelessly with your smart device or schedule your heating and cooling to adjust without you lifting a finger.

Is A Heat Pump Better Than An Air Conditioner?

A traditional air conditioner works to deliver cooled air throughout a space but requires pairing with a furnace to provide heating, too. On the other hand, a heat pump can produce both warm and cool air from a single unit. Many Texas homeowners can benefit from pairing a heat pump with a high-powered fan to get through all four seasons. The team at Famous Dave’s Service Company will work with you to decide on the best heating and cooling system for your home.
