Common questions about Jessie's Air Service, our HVAC services, and what to expect when you call.

Do you work on both residential and commercial systems?
Yes. We service residential homes and commercial buildings throughout Stephenville and surrounding areas. We also provide commercial refrigeration service.

Air Conditioning

How do I know if I need AC repair or a full replacement?
We will diagnose your system and give you an honest recommendation. Generally, if the repair cost exceeds half the cost of a new unit and your system is over 10 years old, replacement offers better long-term value. We will walk you through both options.
My AC is running but not cooling — what could it be?
Common causes include low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or airflow restrictions. Some of these are simple fixes; others require component replacement. Call us and we will diagnose it correctly.
What AC brands do you install and service?
We are an authorized dealer for Bryant, Trane, and Lennox. We also service most other makes and models.

Heating

My heat stopped working — what should I check first?
Start by checking your thermostat settings, replacing a dirty air filter, and checking the circuit breaker. If everything looks normal and the system still is not heating, call us at 254-968-4327.
Is it safe to use my furnace if there is a strange smell?
A burning smell when you first turn on the heat for the season is often just dust burning off and is usually harmless. A persistent burning smell, a rotten egg odor (gas), or a metallic smell should be taken seriously. Turn off the system and call us.
How long does a furnace typically last?
Most gas furnaces last 15–20 years with regular maintenance. If your furnace is over 15 years old and experiencing repeated problems, replacement is often more cost-effective than continued repairs.

Emergency Service

Do you really provide 24-hour emergency HVAC service?
Yes. Call 254-968-4327 any time — day, night, weekends, or holidays. We answer the phone for emergencies.
Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency calls?
We do not add a surcharge just for calling after hours. Standard diagnostic and repair fees apply, and we will be upfront about any costs before starting work.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Stephenville?
Response times depend on technician availability and your location, but we prioritize emergency calls and aim to reach same-day. Call 254-968-4327 and we will give you an honest ETA.

Maintenance & Efficiency

How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
Twice a year is ideal — once in spring for your AC before summer heat, and once in fall for your heating system before winter. Regular maintenance extends equipment life and prevents breakdowns.
How often should I change my air filter?
Most standard 1-inch filters should be replaced every 1–3 months. Thicker filters (4–5 inch) may last 6–12 months. Homes with pets, high dust, or allergy concerns benefit from more frequent changes.
Is financing available for a new HVAC system?
Yes. We offer financing options for new installations and qualifying repairs. Ask us for details when we provide your estimate.
