Back-to-School, Not Back to A/C Problems: HVAC Tips from Air Texas to Keep You Cool and Stress-Free
As families across San Antonio and surrounding areas dive into the back-to-school season, life can get hectic fast. From early drop-offs to late-night homework, the last thing you need is an unreliable air conditioner throwing off your routine—especially with the Texas heat still going strong in August.
At Air Texas A/C & Heating, we know how important comfort and energy efficiency are for Texas households. That’s why we’re sharing five HVAC tips to help you kick off the school year without worrying about cooling problems.
1. Update Your Thermostat Settings
With the house empty for longer hours during the day, now is a great time to adjust your thermostat. Setting it a few degrees higher while you’re out can cut energy bills without sacrificing comfort. If you don’t have a smart thermostat, we can help you upgrade to one that fits your lifestyle.
2. Book Your End-of-Summer System Tune-Up
Your A/C has worked hard all summer. Before it gives out, schedule a maintenance visit with Air Texas. Our experienced technicians can spot worn parts, clear out debris, and keep your system running efficiently as we head toward fall.
3. Replace Your Air Filter
Dust, allergens, and summer activity can clog filters fast—especially with kids and pets coming in and out of the house. A fresh filter improves airflow, helps your system perform better, and keeps your indoor air cleaner.
4. Seal Leaks & Save
Proper sealing around doors and windows helps your A/C cool more efficiently and keeps your utility bills lower. August is a perfect time to inspect for drafts and make small upgrades with weatherstripping or insulation.
5. Pay Attention to Noises and Smells
If your A/C is making strange noises or smells off, don’t ignore it. These signs could point to worn components, refrigerant leaks, or mold issues. Our team at Air Texas will diagnose the problem and recommend fast, affordable solutions.
