You wouldn’t feel so good about going on a big road trip without having your vehicle serviced, would you? In the same way, it’s not a great idea to head for the blistering-hot summer without having preventative AC maintenance done first.

Air conditioning maintenance is essential for homeowners who count on their cooling equipment as much as we do in South Texas. Your AC’s performance can make or break your comfort levels at home — and directly impact that number on your energy bill. Delaying service and ignoring the signs that something isn’t working properly can result in breakdowns and other easily avoidable problems.

For a safe and hassle-free season, schedule central AC maintenance with Tiger Services.
