Summer Air Conditioning Tips

Here are some quick and easy tips to help you chill this summer. Many will increase your home’s efficiency and stretch your pocket book too!

Ceiling fans help a room feel 4° cooler.
Keep your thermostat at 78° when home and 7-10 degrees higher when away.
Humidity creeps in during summer months so prevent moisture problems with proper ventilation. This means you’ll need to make sure vents are clean and not blocked.
Set reminders to change your air filter every 30 days to help with system efficiency.
Remember what mom said, close the doors (and windows) when the A/C is on.
Clean and dust your home regularly. This keeps your system cleaner. Less debris means better air circulation.

Can You Replace Just the Outside A/C Unit? A San Antonio A/C Expert Explains

If you’ve been told by a technician that you need to replace both of your A/C units, you’re probably wondering if it’s possible to just replace the outside A/C and still use your current indoor unit to save money.

Here’s our recommendation: You should replace both the outdoor and indoor units together for the following reasons:

  1. Old indoor units are incompatible with new outdoor units
  2. Mismatched indoor and outdoor units lead to serious problems
  3. Replacing only one unit can void the manufacturer warranty

In this blog, we’ll go into more detail about each of those reasons. We’ll also share one exception when you may be able to replace just the outdoor unit.
