What to know about HVAC maintenance in Friendswood

Friendswood sits between Houston and Galveston along Clear Creek, and some neighborhoods flooded during past storms. If your outdoor unit or air handler has ever been in water, mention it, since flood damage can shorten a system's life. Closer to the coast, humidity stays high, so good moisture control matters as much as cooling.

  • Book an AC tune-up in spring, before summer demand peaks, and a heating check in fall.
  • A tune-up usually covers cleaning coils, clearing the condensate drain line, checking electrical parts and refrigerant levels.
  • Houston humidity makes clogged drain lines a common cause of leaks. Ask for the drain to be flushed.
  • Change filters every one to three months, more often with pets.
  • Ask what a maintenance plan includes and whether it gives priority service.
