Amarillo-specific tips
- After hail: minor fin damage can often be combed out cheaply — get that option quoted before agreeing to a coil replacement. For major hail damage, check your homeowner's policy; hail claims are common in Potter and Randall County.
- Dust: ask the tech to show you the coil condition. A $150 cleaning can restore capacity you thought was a refrigerant problem.
- Old R-22 systems: if your system predates 2010, major repairs rarely beat replacement economics.
