Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement

If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Houston home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our ME Brown professionals will install your cooling system without delay.

How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner?

Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:

Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years

Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of reacting when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.

Experiencing more and more repairs

Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.

Showing signs of running inefficiently

How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.

This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Texas home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.

If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our ME Brown team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.

We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

Air Conditioning Repairs

Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Texas can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.

There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:

  • Hearing an unusual noise
  • Feeling warm air coming from your vents
  • Smelling an unusual odor like burning
  • Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
  • Leaking water

These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our ME Brown team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.

Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.

When you do need our professionals to make a repair, you can count on it staying repaired. We make our repairs right the first time—and only use the highest quality parts and materials when working on your system. Our experts are always here for you.

Air Conditioning Maintenance

Keeping your air conditioner in its best operating condition is your goal. You want your system inspected, cleaned, and tuned up on a regular basis to help avoid unexpected and costly repairs and breakdowns.

Routine maintenance by our trained and experienced ME Brown team helps your air conditioner cool your Houston home efficiently and reliably. With annual professional care, you may experience maintenance benefits such as improved energy efficiency, extended system life span, and decreased emergencies.

We recommend having our experts prep your air conditioner before you use it for the first time in the spring to give you consistent cooling all season.

To help you manage your maintenance, talk to us about our maintenance program, Comfort Club Maintenance Programs. Your air conditioner tune-up and inspection are part of the plan, so call and speak with one of our educated and friendly team members about our program today.

“Lex, as always, was professional and efficient last week in servicing our two AC units in preparation for the long, hot summer. Also, David had come out the day before the regular maintenance to address what turned out to be a blocked drain line in our ductless heat pump that is installed in our garage office which was very much appreciated allowing me to get back to work in cool comfort.

Thanks, M. E. Brown!”

“I had a great experience having a new AC unit put in. I appreciate that the company wasn’t just concerned about a sale. I was educated on my choices and what each system offered. I felt like I was able to make an educated decision. They also didn’t sale me a unit that was too big like some other companies tried to do. Thank you!!!”

“2 new A/C and furnace systems were put in today and I was extremely happy with the professionalism. I thought it was going to take 2 days but they arrived at 8 am and we’re finished by 3 pm. They made sure to be careful with walls furniture and my hardwood floors. I was kind of dreading this but it was easy peasy! I would recommend M E Brown Services for new systems but also their maintenance twice a year!! I have been using them for over 20 years now and have never been unhappy!!”
