Summer in Texas isn’t just hot, it’s blazing. When the temperatures rise, your air conditioning becomes more than a luxury, it’s a necessity. But is your HVAC system ready to handle the heat?
At Austin Cool Air, we want to help you stay cool, comfortable, and energy-efficient all summer long. Whether you’re cranking up the AC for the first time in months or just trying to avoid surprise breakdowns, here’s your go-to guide for summer HVAC care.
1.Schedule Your Summer Tune-Up
Think of your HVAC system like a car, it needs regular check-ups to run smoothly. A professional summer tune-up can help:
● Improve cooling performance
● Prevent mid-season breakdowns
● Catch small problems before they become costly repairs
● Extend the life of your unit
Pro Tip: Schedule your tune-up before the heat wave hits, appointments fill up fast!
2.Change or Clean Your Air Filters
It’s simple but powerful: A clean filter equals better airflow. Dirty filters make your system work harder, raising your energy bills and lowering your indoor air quality.
Change your filters every 1–2 months during peak summer use, especially if you have pets or allergies.
3.Check Your Thermostat Settings
Set your thermostat to 76°F when you’re home for the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency.
Better yet, upgrade to a smart thermostat that adjusts automatically based on your schedule, helping you save money without lifting a finger.
4.Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Your outdoor condenser needs room to breathe. Make sure it’s free from:
● Leaves
● Grass clippings
● Weeds
● Debris or branches
Give it 2 feet of clearance on all sides to ensure proper airflow.
5.Consider an Energy-Efficient Upgrade
If your system is 10–15 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Modern HVAC units are significantly more energy-efficient, which means:
● Lower monthly bills
● Quieter operation
● Improved comfort
● Better indoor air quality
Ask us about financing options that make upgrading easier on your budget.
6.Don’t Ignore Warning Signs
If your AC is making strange noises, blowing warm air, or cycling on and off frequently, don’t wait! These are signs that something’s wrong.
Catching issues early can prevent expensive emergency repairs and keep you cool all season long.
