Updating My First Home With a Brand-New Lennox System

I just moved to Texas from Utah. I came home from work and the house was extremely hot. I didn’t know who to call when my A/C quit working. I have no experience with making home repairs and was panicking. My next-door neighbor Bill was outside, and I asked him what I should do. Bill went inside his house and got a Magazine called BEST PICK REPORT. Bill told me to call Texas Air Doctors, they repaired his system last summer.

Jeff with Texas Air Doctors came out and looked the system over and found a Bad Compressor. He said it’s like the heart of the system and it had a heart attack. He told me the units don’t normally die without a cause and he needed to check the inside also. We had to get up in my attic on a 100-degree day and to check the heater. I didn’t last but five minutes and decided to wait in the garage, glad I had an office job. He came back down 20 minutes later and had the filter with him. The filter looked more like a furry little animal than a filter. He said the filter was left inside the unit for years and caused the compressor to fail.

Jeff said we need to compare options on repairs or replacement. The system had been neglected for years. We went over potential failures and the cost of repairs. He had paperwork explaining the different systems LENNOX had available. He even went around the house measuring the windows and doors. Jeff said this all must be done to make sure the system is designed correctly because every house is different. He did such a thorough of explaining the repair verse replacement, I had to go with a new system.

I ended up getting a 16 SEER LENNOX gas system with a MERV 16 Filter. The new filter is going to be changed once a year and won’t ever be forgotten again. I’m really enjoying the clean cool air.
