We offer smart and efficient heating and cooling systems that can give you affordable comfort.
The summer heat in McKinney has been brutally hot this summer.
Is your air conditioning system keeping your home cool or struggling with the heat?
Heating and cooling systems not only provide comfort, but can be critical in the extreme North Texas temperatures. It’s important to keep your HVAC system maintained regularly. It’s also good to know when it’s time to replace your system. Not sure if you just need maintenance service or a new heating and cooling system for your home in McKinney and the surrounding areas?

Signs Your Heating and Cooling System Needs Replacement
Knowing when it’s time to stop servicing an old system and instead replace it can be a difficult choice. An entirely new central heating and cooling system can run into thousands of dollars in McKinney. (Read more: AC Compressor Repair vs. Replacement).
- Longer than usual run time and Increased Utility Bills: Did you notice your air conditioner or heater running much longer this year, despite similar temperatures in past years? It could be a sign your system has problems. When a system starts failing, it will run longer, using more electricity, while still not reaching a comfortable temperature.
- Vent Air Isn’t Cold in Summer or Isn’t Hot in Winter: Is the air coming from your vents not cold with the air conditioner running? It could mean anything from a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or other issue. Cold air in the winter could mean a bad sensor or a failing system board. Even a gas leak is possible (which can be very dangerous). It is time to have your HVAC system inspected.
- Noises from HVAC Components: Do you hear loud humming or grinding coming from the attic’s air handler or the air conditioner’s compressor outside? That could be a sure sign your heating and cooling system components are failing.
- Old System Age: A typical central AC in McKinney will last 15~20 years and a gas furnace will last 15~25 years. If you know your HVAC system is over 15 years old, expect to replace it sooner or later. Many components can fail, from the AC compressor to the air handler’s fan motor.

Advantages of Replacing an Old HVAC System h3 html tag
Are you on the fence as to whether to replace your heating and cooling system or not? Many advances in HVAC technology make a good case for replacement.
- More Efficient Equipment: Systems offered today offer better, more efficient air conditioning coolant. Better heat exchange on both the cooling side and heating side can push air more efficiently through your system.
- Heat Pumps: The most common type of heat pump is the ‘air-source’ heat pump. When it’s cold out, it takes heat from the outside air to heat your home. When it’s hot out, it acts as a heat sink for better cooling. How cold winter air can help heat your home can be confusing. It’s because even very cold air has enough heat which can be collected.

Central air conditioners and heat pumps are designed to cool the entire house.
In each system, a large compressor unit located outside drives the process; an indoor coil filled with refrigerant cools air that is then distributed throughout the house via ducts. Heat pumps are like central air conditioners, except that the cycle can be reversed and used for heating during the winter months. With a central air conditioner, the same duct system is used with a furnace for forced warm-air heating. In fact, the central air conditioner typically uses the furnace fan to distribute air to the ducts.
Heating and cooling systems built in the past few years have become very efficient. New systems potentially save hundreds of dollars per year in utility costs. Modern air conditioners also run quieter and are long lasting. If you’re thinking about replacing your HVAC system, Contact Us to talk to an A/C Works technician today.
Efficient Gas Furnaces
20 Year Warranty*
Keep the pesky cold out and the comfort in with our efficient gas furnaces. Our best models feature a variable-speed blower motor and two-stage gas heat performance that, together, deliver temperature control and quiet performance. The variable-speed blower also means you’ll enjoy better summer dehumidification from your cooling unit, and you might even get a SEER* boost as well. Pair it with a compatible air conditioner for a fully communicating system using the Ion™ System Control.
State-of-the-art electronic controls monitor system operation and allow for faster, easier system diagnostics.
* with proper registration
Two-stage redundant gas valve, two-speed induced draft blower, and variable-speed high-efficiency ECM blower motor smoothly modulate up or down when more or less heat is needed. The VS 80 is also compatible with two-stage cooling, and its advanced dehumidification capability can reduce additional moisture in the air when you add a humidity-sensing thermostat to your system.
Solid pre-painted steel insulated cabinet with tight-fit door latch system, blower motor isolated behind a sealed door, and soft-mount rubber gaskets on key components lower operating sounds.
Temperature limit control, reliable gas valve and induced draft motor plus a patented draft safety switch that shuts off the furnace if a vent blockage is detected.
