There’s nothing quite like a Texas summer. The heat is no joke—and neither is an AC that can’t keep up. As temperatures climb, your air conditioning system becomes more than a luxury—it’s a necessity. But how do you know if your AC is ready for the challenge, or if it’s about to call it quits at the worst possible time?
Here are five warning signs your system might not survive the summer—and what you should do about it now.
1. Warm Air Coming Out of Your Vents
If your AC is running but warm air is blowing through the vents, that’s a red flag. This could mean anything from low refrigerant levels to a failing compressor. Either way, you’ll want a pro to take a look before the issue gets worse.
2. Weak Airflow or Strange Noises
Is the airflow from your vents barely noticeable? Do you hear rattling, buzzing, or grinding? Weak airflow could mean clogged filters or duct problems, while weird noises often signal loose or failing components. These problems tend to get worse with time—and heat.
3. Skyrocketing Energy Bills
If your electric bill looks more like a car payment, your AC could be to blame. Older or struggling systems have to work harder (and longer) to keep your home cool, using way more energy than necessary. A tune-up or replacement might be the smarter (and cheaper) option in the long run.
4. Inconsistent Temps Throughout the House
Are some rooms freezing while others feel like a sauna? Uneven cooling is often a sign of ductwork issues, low refrigerant, or a thermostat problem. And in Texas, that kind of inconsistency just won’t cut it.
5. Your AC Is Constantly Running or Cycling
An AC that runs nonstop—or turns on and off frequently—is telling you something isn’t right. It could be the thermostat, the coils, or the system just isn’t big enough for your space. Let’s figure it out before it burns itself out for good.
