Old systems that were looked after
People who stay in one house for twenty years tend to take care of it. In Stafford we see plenty of systems past 15 years old that still run well, with maintenance records to show for it. Capacitors are still the first thing to go. After that come contactors, worn blower motors the owner wants to keep one more summer, and refrigerant leaks on weathered line sets.
A lot of these calls come from homeowners we've been out to before. So the diagnostic starts with what has changed since the last visit. When a compressor finally comes up in Stafford, it's more often because the owner decided it was time than because the unit died without warning.
Keep it or replace it
Because so many Stafford systems are old but sound, plenty of visits end in a judgment call. We put readings behind it (static pressure, refrigerant charge, amp draw). Then we price the repair next to the replacement, and you pick. If a system has good summers left in it, we say so.
New equipment starts with Trane and Goodman. Repairs cover every brand, Carrier and Lennox included.
Stafford questions, answered
Can you keep my 18-year-old system running another season?
Often, yes. We measure it first and write down what we find. Then we tell you plainly whether a few parts and a recharge buy more time. Sometimes replacement makes more sense. The decision stays yours.
Do you work on rooftop units for businesses on Highway 90?
Yes. Auto shops and professional offices along the Highway 90 frontage and Murphy Road call us for their rooftop units. Most small-unit problems get fixed the same day, and property managers get a certificate of insurance with the job.
What does it cost to keep an older system going?
Depends on the part. The diagnostic is $99, or $79 for new customers, and waived when you approve the repair. Capacitor $180 to $320. Contactor $190 to $280. Condensate drain clear $150 to $250. Refrigerant leak search and recharge $350 to $650. When a compressor has to go, it runs $1,800 to $3,500.
Do you cover both 77477 and 77497?
Both Stafford ZIPs, for homes and businesses alike. That takes in Stafford Town Center and Plantation Bend, plus The Lakes at Stafford.
Do you clean ducts in Stafford homes?
Yes. A whole-house cleaning comes with before-and-after photos of every supply and return. Accessible leaks we find along the way get sealed during the same visit.
Highway 90 and Murphy Road businesses
Small commercial fills the Highway 90 frontage and the Murphy Road corridor. Most of it runs on single-package rooftop units in the 3 to 7.5 ton range, equipment plenty of residential outfits never touch. Winter brings gas-fired rooftop heat calls along the same strip. Restaurant ductwork near 59 and 90 loads up with cooking grease and needs regular cleaning.
We pull the City of Stafford mechanical permit. Commercial jobs come with a certificate of insurance for property managers and tenants.
Winter in Stafford
Heating here splits by age. Older Plantation Bend homes run gas furnaces, and the newer subdivisions lean toward heat pumps. We stock parts for both. Installs and repairs carry 12 months of parts and labor coverage, then the manufacturer covers parts for a term set by the brand. Texas license TACLA32678.
