Air Conditioning FAQs

Do you have any questions about your AC system operation? The same question might very well have been asked in the past. Take a look at our frequently asked questions for air conditioners below. 

If you don’t see your question in this section, please give us a call 24/7 at (512) 488-1120. We would love to help answer any questions you have.

  • How Often Should I Get Maintenance Done for My HVAC System?

    You should have maintenance done on your air conditioning system bi-annually. This doesn’t just ensure maximum efficiency, it enables us to potentially catch possible problems that may occur in the near future. Our Comfort Club Agreement plan is specifically designed to help keep your air conditioning system running at its peak efficiency year-round.

  • What's the Best Temperature to Set My Thermostat?

    Of course, the answer to this question depends on time of the year it is and your specific comfort levels. We have suggestions for the cool and warmer seasons. In the winter months, the average temperature setting is 78°-80°, in the summer 70°-72° seems to be the most common setting. Remember, when leaving your home for work or several hours try to avoid very drastic temperature changes. Do not set your temperature back any more than 5° because this will cause common systems to work harder to achieve the desired temperature setting.

  • What Size Heating/Cooling System Do I Need?

    A system that’s too large may make your home uncomfortable, and in some cases, it can cause moisture issues. On the other side, too small a system for your building will not be efficient enough to fill your home. A technical analysis of your home’s building envelope is necessary to determine the proper size air conditioning system. To determine the proper size system for your home call Fox Service Company now to schedule a free in-home estimate.

  • Should I Get My Air Ducts Cleaned?

    Allergies and asthma effect more than 41 million Americans. If you’re a part of this group then we highly suggest that you get your air ducts professionally cleaned. This can help your health, your overall breathing, and will likewise give you a more efficient air conditioning system.

  • How Often Should I Change My Air Filters?

    Our team at Fox Service Company suggests you change out air filters every 30-90 days depending on how many people and pets may be in the home. However, in high-use seasons (Summer) we advise replacing air filters even more often.

    "Big time thanks!"

    I’ve used Fox many times over the past 6 years or so. I’ve had a great experience every time. Their staff is knowledgeable and professional, and they’ve always been available in emergency situations. Big time thanks!

    "The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional."

    The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional. Their estimate on how long it would take was pretty accurate. I was in video meetings during a lot of their work and they seemed to be extra careful to make less noise when I was on those calls because the people I met with said that they didn't notice them. Overall - great job!

    "The absolute worst timing for an electrical issue but am extremely happy with him being able to resolve it in a timely matter."

    Called Fox out for a last-minute electrical issue while I’m in the closing process for selling my condo. Dominic was absolutely amazing, got there after hours at night and fixed it. The absolute worst timing for an electrical issue but am extremely happy with him being able to resolve it in a timely matter.

    "I will use them again when I need an electrician."

    They sent an electrician to investigate some strange electrical problems. He identified the problem and resolved it quickly. He was courteous, respectful of my property, and clearly explained the problem he found and how he resolved it. I will use them again when I need an electrician.
