Central Texas air conditioners work like marathon runners. Long run times, dust, cottonwood, and attic heat all place stress on equipment before summer is fully underway.
Start with filters, clear outdoor airflow, and a thermostat schedule that matches how your family lives. Then schedule a professional visit to test refrigerant performance, electrical components, drainage, and safety controls.
A maintenance plan is not a magic shield, but it gives your system a better chance to stay efficient and reliable when the weather is hardest on it.
