How to Cool Down Your Energy Bill This Summer - AC Repair & Heater Repair Services | Spring, TX

“I HIGHLY recommend them!”

The technicians at ACTexas gave me lots of options including modifying my old system (which was cheaper but just buying time). I opted to replace the entire system! My AC bills have been half what they were this time last year! They worked so hard and did an amazing job! They were very honest about the cost (no hidden fees). Angela W.

I had an excellent experience with James. He is solid guy whom you can tell loves his work. Not only did he assist me with repairing my AC...on a Sunday. He gave me priceless knowledge and he wasn't even scheduled to work. I pray this work ethic stays around for years to come. Workers like James are very hard to find. He should definitely be rewarded for all his hard work. Matthew T.

Dispatcher was able to get me same day service when my air conditioning unit stopped working. Justin conducted the repair and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and honest about the issue. I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell me services or equipment that was not needed. The prices were very reasonable - especially since we had the repair conducted same day! I would highly recommend this company and will be using them for all future maintenance and repairs! Tricia T.

Mickey is great! He is very knowledgeable and professional and does a great job. He always texts me to let me know when he'll arrive and explains everything he's doing. He's earned our trust and we are very happy with his service. Jet E

Came out quickly and diagnosed the issue, showed me what was wrong and completed the fix. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing service. A Robinson

Working with ACTexas was a great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend them for any HVAC work that you may need from brand new install, repair, maintenance, or just an evaluation of your current HVAC system. They have great knowledge, experience, work ethic and customer service. Ramil M

How to Cool Down Your Energy Bill This Summer

With the temperatures rising as the dog days of summer approach, we all turn on our AC units and try to hide from Texas' sweltering heat. At the same time, our electric bills shoot through the roof; so, what now? Below are some tips of what you can do to lower your energy demand this summer without suffering through a heat wave.

Get the House Insulated

If you own your home, by adding blown-in insulation you will see up to a 30% reduction on your energy bill. While the initial cost might seem daunting, it often pays for itself within five to seven years.

Plant a Tree

Shade trees such as maple, oak, and beech that lose their leaves in the winter are Mother Nature's answer to finding free air conditioning. If your home is shaded by a tree, the sun is blocked from heating it in the summer and it also helps add heat in the winter.

Close Your Windows

If your home and windows are well insulated, use that technology to your advantage. Overnight, your house cooled off. When the sun rises, close your home's windows and doors, pull down any blinds, and close the blackout curtains. That alone will help tremendously to keep the sunlight from warming the interior of your home. Keep the cool in and the heat and humidity outside!

Kick the Heat Outside

Once the temperatures drop at night, open up the house again. You can place a box fan in a window and bring some of that free cool air into the house.

Turn Off Your Electronics

The new flat screen televisions on the market are notorious for creating heat. Sound systems, computers, and almost any newer type of gadget that is warm to the touch are adding more heat to your home, and this heat, is heat you have to pay to remove. Make sure that when you head out to work in the morning, turn off as many of those items as you can!
