Spring is in the air—and in Texas, that means it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get your home ready for the warmer months ahead. While most people think of cleaning windows and closets, your HVAC system deserves just as much attention during your spring refresh.
At Texas Pride Heating and Air, we know how important it is to prepare your system for the Texas heat. Here are 6 essential HVAC tasks you should check off your list as part of your Texas-sized spring cleaning.
1. 🧼 Replace or Clean Air Filters
Dirty air filters restrict airflow, reduce efficiency, and affect your indoor air quality. Spring is the perfect time to change them out, especially with allergy season in full swing. We recommend checking your filters every 30–60 days, depending on your home and system.
2. 🌬️ Clean Vents and Registers
Dust, pet hair, and debris can build up in your supply and return vents over time. Take a few minutes to vacuum and wipe down all vents and registers in your home. This not only helps your system breathe easier but also improves air circulation throughout your space.
3. 🛠️ Schedule a Professional Spring Tune-Up
Your air conditioning system is about to go into full-time work mode. A professional tune-up ensures it’s operating at peak performance before the Texas heat kicks in. At Texas Pride, our technicians inspect, clean, and fine-tune your AC to help avoid unexpected breakdowns.

4. 🌿 Clear Debris Around the Outdoor Unit
Over the winter, leaves, dirt, and debris can build up around your condenser. Take a few minutes to clear at least two feet of space around the unit. This allows for proper airflow and helps your AC run more efficiently once it kicks on for the season.
5. 💧 Check the Drain Line
Your HVAC system’s condensate drain line can become clogged with algae or dirt, which may lead to water leaks or moisture issues inside your home. Texas Pride Heating and Air’s technician can flush your drains for you or you can use a small amount of vinegar as a DIY flush to see if that helps.
6. 🌡️ Test Your Thermostat
Before the real heat sets in, switch your thermostat over to cooling mode and test it out. Make sure it’s responding properly and accurately holding the temperature. If your home still has an older manual thermostat, spring is a great time to upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat to save energy and improve comfort.
