An Odessa homeowner contacted HVAC Experts after their 16-year-old air conditioner required its third major repair in two years. The system used R-22 refrigerant, which had become expensive to source, and the compressor was showing signs of impending failure. A load calculation revealed the original equipment had been slightly oversized for the home, which had caused short-cycling and accelerated wear throughout its service life. We installed a properly sized 16 SEER2 split system, sealed two duct connections that were leaking conditioned air into the attic, and tested airflow at every register before completing the job. The homeowner reported significantly lower utility bills within the first full billing cycle and consistent comfort levels throughout the summer that the old system had not delivered in years.

A family completing a new build in Gardendale needed a cooling system installed before their move-in date. The home's layout included a large open-plan living and kitchen area with west-facing windows that created a higher afternoon heat load than the square footage alone would suggest. Our technician performed a full Manual J load calculation and recommended a two-stage system that could run at partial capacity during cooler morning hours and ramp up for the afternoon heat gain. The installation included new ductwork designed for the specific layout, supply registers positioned to counteract the heat gain from the west-facing glazing, and a smart thermostat programmed to pre-cool the home before peak afternoon temperatures arrived. The family moved into a fully commissioned and balanced system.
