Your AC runs more hours in a Houston year than a car engine runs in three. Regular maintenance is the difference between a system that lasts 15 years and one that dies at 9.
A Patriot Air tune-up isn’t a filter swap and a handshake. We clean the coils, check the refrigerant charge, test every electrical component under load, flush the drain line, and give you a written report of what we found.
Why maintenance pays for itself
- Lower electric bills from clean coils and a correct charge
- Fewer breakdowns during peak season

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my AC serviced?
Twice a year is ideal in Houston: a cooling tune-up in spring and a heating check in fall. Once a year is the minimum.
Do you offer a maintenance plan?
Yes. Ask us about priority scheduling, repair discounts, and both seasonal visits for one annual price.
