Comprehensive AC Solutions for McKinney Homes

Whether you're dealing with a sudden breakdown, considering an upgrade, or simply need preventative care, our skilled technicians are ready to help. We offer a full spectrum of air conditioning services designed to meet the specific needs of McKinney homeowners.

AC Repair Services

Is your air conditioner making strange noises, blowing warm air, or failing to turn on? Don't sweat through the Texas heat. These are common signs that your system needs professional attention. Our expert technicians are trained to diagnose and fix all types of AC issues efficiently and effectively.

Common AC problems we address in McKinney include:

  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Compressor issues
  • Frozen evaporator coils
  • Drain line clogs
  • Electrical control failures
  • Sensor problems
  • Fan malfunctions

Ignoring small problems can lead to bigger, more expensive repairs down the line. If you notice any unusual behavior from your AC, scheduling prompt repair can save you time, money, and discomfort. We also offer 24/7 Emergency AC Repair for those unexpected breakdowns that just can't wait.

AC Installation & Replacement

Deciding whether to repair or replace your aging AC system can be a tough call. If your current unit is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to keep your home consistently cool, a replacement might be the more cost-effective and energy-efficient long-term solution.

Investing in a new air conditioning system offers numerous benefits, including significantly lower energy bills, improved comfort, enhanced indoor air quality, and quieter operation. We specialize in installing high-efficiency central air conditioning systems and can also advise on and install Ductless Mini Split AC Systems for targeted cooling needs.

Our installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your home's size, layout, and cooling needs to ensure we recommend and install the properly sized system for optimal performance and efficiency. We are proud to be a Lennox Dealer Since 1966, offering some of the most reliable and energy-efficient equipment available. We also offer Financing Options to help make your new AC investment more manageable.

AC Maintenance

Regular maintenance is the key to a long-lasting, efficient air conditioning system. Just like changing the oil in your car, routine AC tune-ups prevent wear and tear, improve performance, and help catch potential problems before they cause a breakdown.

Our comprehensive AC maintenance visits include cleaning key components, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and testing overall system operation. This helps ensure your system runs efficiently, reduces the risk of unexpected repairs, and extends its lifespan.

For ultimate peace of mind and significant savings, consider joining our Gold Star Preventative Maintenance program. Members receive priority service, discounts on repairs, and annual tune-ups to keep their systems in peak condition.

Understanding Your AC System & Related Components

Your air conditioning system is a complex network of components working together to cool your home. Understanding these parts and their function can help you recognize issues early.

  • Air Handler Services: The indoor unit of your split system, the air handler contains the fan and often the evaporator coil. Proper maintenance ensures efficient air circulation throughout your home.
  • Evaporator Coil Services: Located inside the air handler, this coil cools the air by absorbing heat and humidity from your home's air before it's circulated. Problems like freezing or dirt buildup can severely impact cooling performance.
  • Air Duct Sealing and Repairs: Your ductwork distributes conditioned air throughout your home. Leaky or damaged ducts can waste energy and reduce comfort. We provide sealing and repair services to ensure your air reaches where it needs to go efficiently.
  • AC Filter Replacements: A clean air filter is crucial for both system efficiency and indoor air quality. We can advise on the right filter for your system and home, and remind you when it's time to replace it. You can even Order Filter directly through us.

Improving Indoor Air Quality

Beyond temperature control, the quality of the air you breathe inside your McKinney home is essential for your health and comfort, especially in our humid climate. We offer solutions to help you breathe easier.

  • Dehumidifiers: High humidity can make your home feel warmer and promote mold growth. Installing a whole-home dehumidifier works alongside your AC to remove excess moisture from the air, improving comfort and air quality.
  • UV Air Sanitizers: These systems use ultraviolet light to kill airborne contaminants like mold spores, bacteria, and viruses as they pass through your ductwork, providing a powerful layer of protection.

I usually don’t leave reviews but Burnside AC really impressed me both times I’ve used them. They were honest and affordable, and they worked around my schedule without any problem. Every technician I met was pleasant, professional, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. It’s rare to find a company you can truly trust, and I highly recommend them.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
