Our success in extending the lifespan of air conditioning systems can be attributed to our strategic partnerships and the exceptional products we integrate into our installs. We have found the day of installation is the most important day in the life of the system.

Homeowners looking for services for their homes often start their internet search with terms such as “ac repair near me” or “plumbers near me.” Although a convenient way to find a company that is in the same city you live in, some of the search results may not give the most optimal results to the searcher

With over 86% of people choosing Google Maps as their first source for finding local services, homeowners will often initially search for “AC repair near me” or “plumbers near me”. Although mobile searches with the phrase “near me” increased by 136% in 2021, they leave search results too broad, usually providing the addresses of service companies’ main offices as the main point of reference. And, more recognizable brand names that receive the largest number of site visits often show up first – even if they aren’t the best result to match your search.

But, chances are, you’ve unknowingly suffered as a result of the airborne irritants you’re breathing in — from dirt and dander to viruses and household toxins.

There’s a lot to consider when choosing a trustworthy HVAC contractor in San Antonio. So you are not taken advantage of – KNOW the company well. I little research goes a long way to see how transparent they really are. Unless you’re familiar with the ins and outs of your home’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning system — how the components work, what type of maintenance is necessary and how much it might cost — you have to put a lot of faith in your service provider.

Whom, you ask? He’s a flame-haired, hot-weather-loving personality from the 1970s-era stop motion animation film, “The Year Without Santa Claus.” The jolly holiday adventure brings the main characters to meet the Miser brothers — Heat Miser and Snow Miser — who bump heads over their desire to control the weather. Eventually, Mother Nature steps in and helps the bickering brothers reach a compromise. After a little song and dance, of course.

This time of year, lighting candles around the house is a great way to get cozy and enjoy the scents of the season. But if you’re burning a few dozen candles just to douse a bad smell at home? Well, then you’ve got a problem.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s this: No matter what may be going on in the world around us, it’s important at times to take a step back and focus on what truly matters. On doing something kind and good for the community, on raising your kids so they know how to respect and treat others and on being grateful for all that you have.

Leaking air ducts can pose a range of problems for homeowners, from higher utility bills to a variety of comfort issues. Here’s how you can tell it’s time for a repair, and why winter is the perfect time to schedule this type of service.

Every homeowner has heard that routine maintenance will help their home systems last longer. With routine tune-ups, essential appliances and equipment will be more reliable. By catching small problems before they get out of hand, you won’t have to deal with any surprise breakdowns.

The reason that immediately comes to mind is that smaller, locally owned establishments may be less likely to weather the storm than national corporations. However, there are other reasons to consider partnering with a local business — as well as benefits to you and your community.

It’s always important to keep your appliances in great shape and running efficiently. But, when you run into personally or financially trying times, it becomes even more vital to make your household appliances last as long as possible.

Want to talk like an AC professional or at least understand what your AC expert is saying to you? Tiger Services has the key!

Regular preventive maintenance keeps your cooling system working properly and boosts efficiency. It reduces ongoing expenses and extends the life of the equipment. When searching for a contractor to perform this maintenance, it may be tempting to hire the lowest-cost provider. This can be a mistake. The old saying “you get what you pay for” is true for HVAC work. Before you hire a contractor who offers a “$29 AC tune-up” or other low-priced service, carefully consider what you want from AC maintenance. Ask what you are likely to receive for the bargain-basement price.

Tiger Services wants San Antonio homeowners to know that there are more ways to save when it comes to their CPS Energy bill! CPS Energy is now offering SaveNow, a new Home Energy Rebate Program.

Causes for these AC water leaks can vary but are always an inconvenience to deal with. So, continue reading and you just might figure out what’s causing your air conditioner to leak and how to better prepare yourself!

We don’t pay attention to our home air filters and their cleaning or replacement if our HVAC system is working properly. Our negligence activates a series of maintenance issues as well as health problems. When the filter is full of dust, fur, and other particles it results in overloading HVAC system which directly increases the energy consumption. Your system performance decreases up to 40%, and it also needs frequent maintenance. You might need to spend a huge sum of money to change system parts after a year or two.

Nothing is worse than having to deal with vexatious allergies. Especially when it means having to carry eye drops and tissues around with you every day. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) came out with a recent report saying that this past Fall, San Antonio was ranked fourth on the “most challenging places to live with allergies this year”. So why are you still putting up with them? Maybe it’s time to further assess why you are suffering so much.

Winter season is here now, and you might have to focus on home maintenance tasks. Among so many things the heating system is the most prominent requirement of home or offices. Heating system issues are like a headache as they never end up and keep on disturbing time to time. If you have not selected an appropriate heating repair service, you can end up losing hundreds of bucks and won`t get a properly working heating system even after that.

We love living in Texas but the sweltering summer heat can be dangerous and uncomfortable. After being outside all day or getting in and out of a vehicle parked in the sun, in the evenings we’re ready for some cool, comfortable air conditioning and refreshments.

When we think humidity, we usually think of muggy air, frizzy hair, and mold. Most people never consider that the air in their home could need a little extra moisture! In the cold months when furnaces and fires are going strong, the air in your home can get very dry. This dry air could not only be costing you comfort, but money as well. Read on to find out why Tiger Services supplies humidifiers to the (generally humid) San Antonio area.

All of the rain in San Antonio this summer is forcing critters to find higher ground. That means ants and snakes are creeping and slithering into your exterior air conditioning unit. Nobody wants that. Not only is it just plain creepy, but it can cause some operational issues for your system. Here’s why this happens and how Tiger Services Air Conditioning & Heating can help you keep your air conditioner clear of creepy crawlies.

There are two coils in any air conditioner or heat pump; one coil you can see and one you can’t. That old saying, “out of sight, out of mind,” is true; homeowners rarely think about the inside of their air conditioner, or what could be growing there. Tiger Services, however, sees the inside of many different units. Keep reading to find out what could be inside your air conditioner or heat pump, and what to do about it.

Every year we go through the same routine to get ready for spring. We clean out our homes of unwanted items as we make room for new ones, dust and mop every nook and cranny, and take care of routine maintenance.

It’s easy for us to decide what type of heating and cooling system we prefer to install in our customers’ homes. We choose Trane systems for their superior quality, support and engineering. At Tiger Services we want all of our customers to be well taken care of. We will never leave you out in the cold (or heat). Here are a few other reasons we like Trane systems so much, and why we know you will too.

As a homeowner, you have a lot to think about. It’s easy to forget some of the problems you can’t see. Your heating and cooling system’s indoor evaporator coil is often one of the things that is easily forgotten. It’s out of sight and therefore out of mind. However, if that coil is dirty, your HVAC system is going to suffer. Your coil is responsible for helping your heating system with heat exchange in the winter. It is also for helping your cooling system in the summer, as well! The team at Tiger Services wants you to realize how important it is to have a clean evaporator coil. We put together this list of problems that can occur when you don’t have your coil cleaned on a regular basis.

The temperature is dropping, the wind is blowing, and you’ve decided to stay indoors where it’s warm and toasty. The more time you spend inside, the more you rely on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable. Seeking refuge indoors may seem like a no-brainer to allergy sufferers, and your home can protect you from the harsh cold that blasts you each time you leave your front door. If your home’s not properly equipped, however, indoor air quality can be spotty at best. Your home can’t protect you from allergens that keep you awake at night, coughing and sneezing, without a little help from you!
