Heating & Cooling Frequently Asked Questions

In San Antonio, questions about our air conditioners are common. After all, we rely on them nearly year-round for comfort in our homes! Honeycomb hears the buzz of concerns, and we provide the answers you need.

How Often Should I Schedule HVAC Maintenance In San Antonio?

Schedule maintenance twice a year — in spring before the intense Texas summer and in fall before the cooler months. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance year-round. Honeycomb offers reliable seasonal services to keep your unit running smoothly.

What SEER Rating Is Best For San Antonio’s Climate?

For San Antonio’s hot climate, aim for a SEER rating of 16 or higher. Higher efficiency means lower energy bills, which is crucial during our long cooling seasons. Consult with Honeycomb to choose the right system for your needs.

How Can I Improve My Home’s Indoor Air Quality During Allergy Seasons?

Install a whole-home air purifier, use high-quality air filters (MERV 11-13), ensure proper ventilation and keep your HVAC system clean. Honeycomb can recommend and install effective air quality solutions.

Why Is My AC Freezing Up In The Texas Heat?

Common causes include dirty air filters, low refrigerant levels or restricted airflow. Regular maintenance can prevent these issues. If it occurs, turn off your AC and contact Honeycomb for prompt, expert service.

How Long Do HVAC Systems Typically Last In San Antonio?

With proper maintenance, AC units usually last 10-15 years, while furnaces can last 15-20 years. However, San Antonio’s climate means ACs work harder. Our team can help you determine if your system is due for a replacement. Honeycomb’s maintenance services can help extend your system’s lifespan.
