Getting your home ready for a Texas summer

Austin summers are long, and the air conditioner does most of the work. A few simple habits keep it running and keep your energy bill under control.

Change the filter every month

A clogged filter makes the system work harder and can freeze the coil. We deliver filters in spring, and the size is printed on the edge of the old one if you run out.

Set it and leave it

Keep the thermostat between 76°F and 78°F when you are home and a few degrees higher when you are away. Large swings make the system run longer, not shorter.

Watch the drain line

If you see water near the indoor unit or the drain pan alarm sounds, switch the system off and submit a maintenance request with a photo. Catching it early prevents ceiling damage.
