Seasonal Care for HVAC Systems in East Texas
Regular professional maintenance is the single most effective way to extend your HVAC system's lifespan, prevent unexpected breakdowns, and keep your heating and cooling costs under control. With over 24 years of local HVAC experience and a proven reputation in our community, Goode Brothers Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. knows how to keep your heating and cooling equipment tuned up and ready for whatever our local climate throws at them.
As licensed and insured HVAC professionals, we understand that preventative care isn't just about checking boxes on a list; it's about thoroughly inspecting every component, identifying wear patterns, and making the adjustments that keep your system running efficiently season after season. Whether your HVAC equipment is brand new or has been serving your home for years, routine professional maintenance pays for itself through lower energy bills, fewer repair calls, and extended equipment life that delays costly replacement.

How We Make HVAC Maintenance Easy
Our maintenance visits involve comprehensive inspections and tune-ups that address every aspect of your system's operation. We clean or replace air filters, inspect and clean evaporator and condenser coils, check refrigerant levels and look for leaks, test electrical connections and tighten any that have loosened, lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and wear, verify thermostat accuracy and calibration, examine belts and motors for signs of wear, clear condensate drains to prevent backups, and test overall system performance to identify any efficiency issues.
This systematic approach allows us to spot components that are beginning to wear out before they fail, make minor adjustments that improve performance, and give you advance warning if major repairs or replacement will be needed in the near future. You'll receive a detailed report on your system's condition and honest recommendations for any concerns we identify.
For homeowners who want the best protection, our Comfort Club membership program takes maintenance to the next level. Members receive scheduled maintenance visits to prepare their systems for the upcoming cooling and heating seasons. Beyond regular tune-ups, Comfort Club members enjoy priority scheduling that puts them at the front of the line when service is needed, exclusive discounts on repairs and equipment, and other great benefits. The membership pays for itself through the discounts and peace of mind alone, while the preventative care helps you avoid the stress and expense of emergency breakdowns.

Maximizing Your HVAC Maintenance Routine
Professional maintenance forms the foundation of HVAC care, but the steps you take between service visits also impact how well your system performs and how long it lasts.
Between professional maintenance visits:
- Change filters regularly. Replace disposable air filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage, pets, and indoor air quality needs, or clean reusable filters on the same schedule to maintain proper airflow and prevent dust buildup that forces your system to work harder.
- Keep outdoor units clear. Remove leaves, grass clippings, and debris from around your outdoor condenser unit, maintain at least two feet of clearance on all sides, and gently rinse the exterior fins with a garden hose to remove dirt that blocks airflow and reduces efficiency.
- Monitor system performance. Pay attention to how your HVAC system sounds and performs during normal operation so you can quickly identify changes like unusual noises, longer run times, or inconsistent temperatures that indicate developing problems.
- Maintain consistent thermostat settings. Avoid dramatic temperature swings that force your system to work overtime, use programmable features to reduce heating and cooling when you're away, and keep the thermostat away from heat sources or drafts that cause inaccurate readings.
- Address small problems promptly. Don't ignore minor issues like strange sounds, slight temperature inconsistencies, or small increases in energy bills, as these early warning signs often indicate problems that are inexpensive to fix now but costly to repair later.
- Keep vents and returns unobstructed. Make sure furniture, curtains, and other items don't block supply vents or return air grilles, as restricted airflow reduces comfort, wastes energy, and can cause system components to overheat or freeze.
Combining these homeowner responsibilities with our professional maintenance service creates a comprehensive care routine that maximizes your HVAC system's performance, efficiency, and longevity. Our team is always happy to answer questions about proper system care and help you develop habits that protect your investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Change My Filters During a Texas Summer?
Every 30 to 60 days. While the standard recommendation is often every three months, the extreme heat in Longview means your AC runs almost nonstop from June through August. This constant operation pulls more dust and pollen through your filters. If you have pets or live near a dusty road, checking your filter every 30 days is the best way to prevent your system from "freezing up" or suffocating due to restricted airflow.
Is a "Precision Tune-Up" different from a basic inspection?
Yes. A basic inspection usually just confirms that the system starts and stops. A precision tune-up from Goode Brothers Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. involves deep cleaning the condenser coils, calibrating the thermostat, checking the refrigerant "sub-cooling" or "superheat" levels, and testing all electrical components for amp draw. This ensures the system isn't just running, but running at peak efficiency.
