Summer AC Tips to Weather Texas Heat

Texas summers can be brutal, with high temperatures and humidity levels. Consider the following HVAC and summer AC checklist to help you stay cool and comfortable during the coming hot Texas summer months:

• • Schedule a maintenance check-up: Before the summer season starts, schedule a maintenance check-up with a professional HVAC technician. They can inspect your system, replace filters, and make any necessary repairs to ensure that your system is running efficiently.

• • Install a programmable thermostat: A programmable thermostat allows you to set the temperature to adjust automatically to your schedule. This can save you money on your energy bills and ensure that your home stays at a comfortable temperature.

• • Keep your air filters clean: Dirty air filters can reduce the efficiency of your system and cause it to work harder than necessary. Make sure to clean or replace your air filters regularly to keep your system running efficiently.

• • Use ceiling fans: Ceiling fans can help circulate the air in your home and make it feel cooler. Make sure that your fans are rotating counterclockwise during the summer months to create a cooling effect.

• • Close blinds and curtains: Keep your blinds and curtains closed during the day to block out the heat from the sun. This can help keep your home cooler and reduce the workload on your HVAC system.

• • Use a dehumidifier: High humidity levels can make your home feel warmer than it actually is. Use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air and make your home feel more comfortable.

• • Consider upgrading your system: If your HVAC system is old or inefficient, consider upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model. This can help you save money on your energy bills and keep your home cool and comfortable during the summer months.
