Pre-Season System Prep

Proactive preparation services scheduled before San Marcos's first freeze to ensure maximum protection. We time our service between October and November when conditions are ideal for winterization procedures.

Spring Reactivation Service

Thorough inspection, cleaning, and performance check when warming weather returns. We remove protective covers, test all components, verify refrigerant levels, and ensure your system delivers peak cooling performance from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you really need a cooling system flush?

A cooling system flush removes built-up contaminants, rust, and scale that reduce efficiency and cause component failures. For AC systems, we focus on condensate line flushing and coil cleaning rather than refrigerant flushing. During winterization, we clear these systems to prevent freeze damage and ensure clean operation when cooling season returns.

What happens if you skip a coolant flush?

When should I schedule winterization for my San Marcos home?

What specific damage can winter weather cause to cooling systems?

Does winterization include spring reactivation service?

How much does winterization cost compared to freeze damage repairs?

Can I winterize my cooling system myself?

Do heat pump systems need different winterization than traditional AC?
