What we keep finding

15in

The Department of Energy's recommended standard for attic insulation. It is not a round number somebody picked, it is the depth at which the roof stops winning.

3–5in

What the majority of homes in this area actually average. As Houston's home services leader, our certified air conditioning and heating pros have been in thousands of attics, and that is the biggest problem we find.

20 percent

Of your air conditioning and heating dollars can, quite literally, be floating away. That is the gap the Home Energy Efficiency Inspection is for, and it checks attics, walls and crawl spaces, radiant heat off the roof, attic ventilation and air leaks around the home.

What the inspection covers

What we do

Six things, and the order they happen in

Most calls start as one of these and turn out to be another. The point of a first visit is finding out which.

The coil descent

Outside air, then the attic, then the ducts, then the coil

Working the problem in that order is why a repair sometimes turns into insulation, and why an installation sometimes turns into duct sealing instead.

It starts above the ceiling, not outside it

A Cypress attic in July sits far hotter than the air the condenser is standing in. That heat moves down through the ceiling all afternoon and well past sunset. Before anyone talks about tonnage, the question is how much of it the attic floor is letting through, because a system sized against an uninsulated attic is sized against a moving target.

The Home Energy Efficiency Inspection

We check insulation depth in the attic, the walls and the crawl spaces, then test for radiant heat coming off the roof, for attic ventilation that is not moving air, and for leaks around the house. The Department of Energy's standard is 15 inches. The majority of homes in this area average three to five, which is where up to 20 percent of a heating and cooling bill goes.

Then the ducts, because a sealed plenum is free capacity

Dust, dirt and debris are an HVAC system's worst enemies, indoors or out. Filters clean, coils and heat exchangers free of restriction, trunk joints sealed rather than taped. Most of what gets called a weak air conditioner is a system moving less air than it was built to move, and that is cheaper to fix than to replace.

Sized, then installed

The coil, last and on purpose

Only once the load is real does the equipment decision make sense. Too little power and the house never gets there. Too much and it costs more and runs in short bursts that never pull the humidity out, which is the part of a Gulf Coast summer people actually feel. We install and service Carrier, Amana, York, Bryant, Ruud, Goodman and Ameristar.

How we know it is done

The number that says the coil has finished working

Supply air against return air. When the split across the coil lands where it should for the conditions outside, the system is doing its job, and when it does not, the reason is upstream in airflow, charge or load. It is the last thing checked and the first thing that tells the truth.

Converted barn game room in Cypress with exposed spiral duct running the length of the white painted trusses

4.7 from 502 Google reviews

The room behind this photograph is a barn that became a game room

It is the fourth system that customer bought from us. The rest of what people write tends to be about a specific person who turned up, which is the part we would rather be judged on.

I have bought 3 ac/heating units from Texas AC Comfort and just bought a 4th unit for the top of our barn. It is a huge game room and they did a fantastic job as usual. Pedro was amazing and took great care to make the look of the unit exactly as I wanted. They worked so hard and I was so impressed as usual. Gus followed up with me to make sure I was happy and I truly appreciated the service.

Before you call

The six we answer most

The Department of Energy's recommended standard is 15 inches. Most homes in this area average only three to five inches, which is why we keep finding it. Up to 20 percent of what you spend on heating and cooling can go straight out through a shallow attic, and on a Gulf Coast summer that is the single largest thing most houses get wrong.

Twice a year, ideally a spring and an autumn visit. Dust, dirt and debris are the enemy of any HVAC system, so the priority is keeping air flowing freely: clean filters, and heat exchangers and coils free of restriction. Changing the filter on schedule on its own prevents a lot of the common failures.

No. Sizing is the first thing we work out on any installation. A unit without enough power will not cool the house, and one that is too big costs more and is less comfortable to live with, because it satisfies the thermostat before it has run long enough to pull the humidity out of the air.

Yes. We repair and replace units up to 25 tons, handle duct repair and replacement, thermostat installation and repair, and indoor air quality. Commercial estimates are free, and we build preventive maintenance plans around how a particular business runs rather than selling one schedule to everybody.

We install and service Carrier, Amana, York, Bryant, Ruud, Goodman and Ameristar. Repairs are not limited to those names, and part of a first visit is often just working out what is already in the house and whether it is still under a manufacturer warranty.

The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Emergency service runs outside those hours. The fastest way to reach us either way is the phone.
