Austin HVAC FAQ
How often should I service my AC in Austin’s heat?

We recommend a spring tune‑up before peak heat and a fall check for heating—twice yearly helps efficiency and prevents breakdowns during triple‑digit days.
What thermostat settings work best for Austin summers?

Start around 78°F when home and higher when away. Use ceiling fans, seal leaks, and try setbacks to balance comfort and energy costs.
Do I need a dehumidifier in Central Texas?
