Why Choose Hobbs
Why Fort Worth Homeowners Choose Hobbs for AC Maintenance
Your air conditioning system keeps your Fort Worth home comfortable through brutal summers, but like any machine, it needs routine maintenance to stay reliable. A well-maintained AC system runs 20–30% more efficiently, lasts longer, and breaks down far less often. That’s why Hobbs Heating and Air has maintained thousands of cooling systems since 2007. We clean coils, check refrigerant pressures, measure electrical performance, and replace filters—catching small problems before they become expensive failures.

Our Maintenance Process
How Our AC Maintenance Service Works
Our maintenance process is thorough and transparent. We arrive with full diagnostic equipment and perform every check in a logical order—nothing missed, nothing overlooked.
We start by listening to your description of how the system is performing: Is it cooling as well as last year? Any unusual sounds? How often does it run? We check the thermostat display, confirm it’s calling for cooling, and verify the temperature setting is appropriate. We also review the system’s age and any notes from previous service calls. This tells us what to focus on during the full inspection.
We walk to the outdoor unit and visually inspect it for debris, bent fins, disconnected wires, and rust. We measure the coil surface temperature and check for dirt buildup that reduces cooling performance. If the coil is dirty—and it almost always is after a season of pollen, dust, and humidity—we clean it with a specialized coil cleaner and compressed air. A clean coil improves efficiency immediately and prevents the compressor from overworking.
We connect our manifold gauge set to the service ports and measure high-side and low-side refrigerant pressures. Pressures that are too low signal a refrigerant leak; pressures that are too high signal overcharge or an airflow problem. We calculate superheat (a technical measure of refrigerant state) to confirm the system is perfectly charged. These measurements are your early warning for slow leaks that steal efficiency and damage the compressor over time.
We test the capacitor with a multimeter to confirm it’s healthy (failed capacitors often fail silently, then sudden motor failure follows). We measure the compressor’s run amperage to confirm the motor isn’t struggling from bearing wear or overload. We check voltage at the outdoor unit to confirm steady power. We test the contactor for burned contacts and listen to the relay to confirm crisp switching. Worn electrical components wear out faster under load and often fail in mid-summer heat.
We check the indoor blower motor for smooth operation and unusual noise. We measure airflow at a supply vent and return vent with our instruments (or feel the temperature difference) to confirm adequate circulation. We inspect the air filter and recommend replacement if it’s dirty. Poor airflow stresses the AC system, reduces cooling, and can cause the coil to freeze. Many Fort Worth homes have duct issues that go undiagnosed for years until maintenance reveals them.
Once all tests are complete, we sit down with you and review our findings: “Your refrigerant is perfect, your coil is clean, your electrical system is solid. Your filter is overdue for replacement, but your overall system health is excellent. Here’s what we recommend for next year, and here’s what we suggest if you notice anything.” We provide a written report, discuss any issues discovered, and schedule your next maintenance visit before you leave.

Let’s Get Started
Keep Your AC Running Cool and Efficient
A small amount of preventive maintenance prevents big, expensive failures. Most Fort Worth homeowners don’t think about their AC until it stops working on the hottest day of summer. By then, you’re waiting days for an emergency repair, paying premium pricing, and sweating in a hot home.
Hobbs Heating and Air offers professional AC maintenance that keeps your system tuned, efficient, and reliable. We clean coils, check pressures, test electrical components, and measure performance. After two tune-ups per year, your system runs better, costs less to operate, and lasts years longer than an unmaintained unit. Join our maintenance plan and get two scheduled visits per year plus priority repair service if something does go wrong.
Answering Your Questions
FAQs About AC Maintenance
We recommend a tune-up twice yearly: once in spring before cooling season starts, and once in early fall after summer stress. Most maintenance plans include both visits. If you run the system year-round (unusual in Texas) or have an older system, four visits per year may be worthwhile. We’ll recommend the right schedule for your situation.
A full tune-up includes outdoor coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, electrical testing, blower motor inspection, filter replacement, airflow measurement, and a detailed written report. We spend 60–90 minutes on a complete visit so nothing is rushed. After the visit, you get a digital report showing what we found and what was done.
You can change your air filter every 30–90 days and keep leaves off the outdoor unit. Beyond that, professional maintenance requires EPA 608 certification (for refrigerant), pressure gauges, electrical testing equipment, and technical training. DIY attempts often cause more problems than they solve. Let the professionals handle it.
No, but it catches 80% of issues before they fail. You can’t predict everything (manufacturing defects, lightning strikes, accidents), but a well-maintained system almost never breaks down unexpectedly. Most emergency summer failures are preventable with two simple tune-ups per year.
This is a classic maintenance issue. Common causes: dirty coil reducing heat transfer, low refrigerant from a slow leak, blocked return air (bad filter or ductwork), or undersized ductwork. A tune-up diagnoses which problem is actually happening. Often it’s something simple that a ten-minute coil cleaning fixes.
Yes, if it’s dirty. We always check the filter during maintenance and recommend replacement if it’s clogged. A dirty filter hurts airflow and makes the system work harder. Most homeowners should change their filter every 60–90 days during cooling season. We can set a reminder for you.
We’ll explain what we found and what the repair costs. You decide whether to fix it now or monitor it. If you’re on a maintenance plan, you get priority repair scheduling and often a discount on the repair labor. Most maintenance-discovered issues are small (capacitor wear, minor refrigerant loss) and much cheaper to fix proactively than in an emergency.
Absolutely. If maintenance reveals ductwork leaks or poor airflow, you can bundle a duct cleaning or sealing service with your maintenance plan. We’ll quote both together and can often fit them on the same day.
Maintenance is preventive—you call on schedule before anything fails. A repair service call is reactive—your system stops working and you need an emergency fix. Maintenance saves money by preventing emergencies; repairs pay for themselves immediately by avoiding the 2–3 day wait and premium pricing of summer emergency calls.
A newer system (under 5 years old) may need less frequent maintenance than an older one, but starting early is smart. We recommend your first tune-up after the first heating/cooling season, then annually. Early maintenance establishes baseline performance data so we can spot degradation before failure.
Spring is ideal—before cooling season starts in earnest. We schedule tune-ups in March and April when the weather is mild and our schedule is flexible. Fall maintenance (October or November) is also smart because it cleans out summer dust and pollen buildup. If you’re on a maintenance plan, we schedule both visits automatically so you never have to remember.
A single tune-up visit runs higher per visit than joining a plan. Plans bundle two visits per year plus priority repair service for less than the cost of two individual visits. Most homeowners find the plan saves money and provides peace of mind. We’ll quote both options during your first visit so you can compare.
No. Federal law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) prevents manufacturers from requiring you to use a specific service provider to maintain warranty coverage. As long as the maintenance is performed by a licensed, EPA-certified technician—which we are—your factory warranty stays intact. We document every visit so you have proof of regular maintenance if a warranty claim arises.
Change your filter regularly (every 30–90 days depending on type and usage). Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation—at least two feet of clearance on all sides. Listen for unusual sounds (grinding, squealing, banging) and call us immediately if you hear them. Monitor your energy bills; a sudden spike can signal a problem developing. Beyond that, let the system run—it’s designed to operate reliably between tune-ups.
