Why is my AC running but not cooling?

Common causes include low refrigerant, dirty coils, or a safety or float switch stopping cooling. A licensed HVAC technician can diagnose why your AC in Spring, TX is not cooling and restore performance.

How often should I service my AC in Texas?

At least once per year, ideally before summer. Annual HVAC maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and keeps your AC running efficiently in the Spring, TX heat.
