The Texas heat is already here, and now is the time to make sure your air conditioning system is running efficiently. Scheduling a professional A/C service in May helps catch small issues before they become big, expensive problems—and keeps your home cool and comfortable during the peak of summer.

Most HVAC companies will check refrigerant levels, clean coils, inspect components, and test your system’s performance. Don’t forget to ask your technician for a quick tutorial on how to replace your air filter and spot early signs of trouble.

Speaking of filters, regular replacement is key to system performance. Standard filters need to be changed every 1–3 months, while newer, high-efficiency systems often require a new filter about every 6 months.

For even more peace of mind, consider enrolling in a service plan with a local HVAC company. These contracts typically include two scheduled visits per year—one in the spring and one in the early fall—timed perfectly for when your system is gearing up for heavy use. Your technician will inspect, clean, and test the system to ensure everything is running safely and efficiently. Most service plan members are contacted directly to set appointments (so it stays off your to-do list), receive priority scheduling during emergencies, and often enjoy discounts on parts and future replacements. Plus, it’s usually more affordable than booking two individual visits.

Let me know if you’d like a recommendation on a reputable A/C service provider! Taking care of your HVAC system now ensures comfort, savings, and fewer headaches when summer really kicks in.
