The humidity levels in Katy during the summer can turn oppressive and sometimes downright miserable. We’ve all experienced those horribly muggy days when 90°F—already some pretty serious heat—feels like 100°F plus too much sweat.
You can’t do much to change humidity levels outside the home; you can only try to reduce its affect on you. But inside your house, you get to be the boss of the climate—as long as you have the right tools and the best local contractor to help with them.
We are big believers in routine maintenance inspections and tune-ups for air conditioning systems. Any HVAC company should promote regular maintenance services because every technician with training knows how advantageous they are. But here in Katy, TX, we’re especially aware of how much a hard-working air conditioner needs maintenance. An AC in our hot weather takes on a heavy work load each year.
We’re focusing on a specific benefit of routine maintenance in this post, which is what it does for an air conditioner’s lifespan.
When HVAC experts talk about the worst type of problems an air conditioning system can run into, they use the phrase “no cool”—an air conditioning system that isn’t cooling a house. The whole AC may have shut down and no air at all is coming from the vents. Or air is coming from the vents but it’s not cool.
In southern Texas, this isn’t a situation anyone wants to be in during one of our (many) hot days. A big part of our job at AC Comfort is rescuing homes in hot weather with air conditioning repair in Katy, TX. We’re always glad to help our customers, but we also want them to avoid trouble with a broken AC in the first place. There’s no way to stop all AC “no cool” emergencies, but you can prevent the majority of them with some planning and a bit of help from us.
We ease in and out of warm weather during the winters in Katy, so there’s never a major time when air conditioners get a big break. But we’re approaching the time when all our homes will be getting steady use from their cooling systems.
We see other HVAC contractors offer their customers advice for how to save money using their air conditioners during the summer. We’d like to give you advice for how to save money before the summer arrives. Proper planning and taking a couple of steps can get you started off with an air conditioner that saves you money each time it runs. Let’s look at ways to get started now with cutting cooling costs.
The weather is Texas can be … weird. That’s why an HVAC company like ours can find itself busy around the year helping people with their air conditioning systems—but still need to be ready in a pinch to help out when heating systems start to suffer from problems. It’s our job to be ready for whatever the shifts in the weather can throw at our customers.

We often talk up the heat pump because not enough people know about how beneficial these systems are in a climate like the one we enjoy. As an alternative to the standard “AC and electric furnace” setup many homes in Katy and the surrounding areas have, the heat pump is excellent. Replace the old furnace and air conditioner combo with a system that provides great cooling and energy-efficient heating when needed.
But what if you have a heat pump that isn’t providing the heat you need? Or maybe not providing any heat at all? When you make the switch on the heat pump from cooling mode (where it will be for most of the year) to heating mode, you might find yourself in this position. Let’s take a look at where the problem may lie.
We’re in for a run of colder days here at the start of the year. We’re much better off than many places up North, but this is the time when we’ll need to have our heating systems running to keep our homes warm.
You may discover during this time of year that your furnace or heat pump is not doing its job as well as you expect. Rooms are cold, and no matter how you adjust the thermostat, the house just won’t warm up how you want it. What’s going on?
That’s what we’re here to help you find out. When you need professional heating repair in Katy, TX, you can rely on us—your comfort is our business.
We get extensive use from our home air conditioning systems almost around the year in Katy, and it’s important to ensure an AC is in the best possible condition considering all the work it has to do.
Heating systems like electric furnaces don’t get anywhere near that amount of work. But most homes have a heater of some type, and when the cool days of winter come around, they’ll need to be able to turn on and run reliably.
But reliably doesn’t necessarily mean a heater won’t start running up tremendous bills. This is a tricky part about heating in Katy, TX—managing to stay warm when necessary, but without having to pay too much to do it. Below are a few ways to save with your heating during winter.
