Keep Cool with Houk Air Conditioning's Premier AC Installation Services in Houston

If your AC is constantly running, a clogged air filter may be the culprit. It restricts airflow and forces the system to work harder. Dirty coils can also reduce efficiency, leading to longer run times. Additionally, an improperly sized AC unit might be too small for your home, causing it to struggle to maintain the desired temperature.

Another common cause of AC failure is low refrigerant, which can result from leaks or insufficient levels. Our technicians at Houk Air Conditioning are skilled at diagnosing and repairing issues like low refrigerant, as well as other system failures. They can recommend the best solution, whether it’s a simple filter change, coil cleaning, refrigerant top-off, or a system upgrade. Reach out to us today to get started.

There are definitely some simple steps you can take to keep your AC running as it should between maintenance visits, such as:

• Changing your air filter regularly: A clogged air filter restricts airflow and forces your AC to work harder to cool your home. Check your filter every month and replace it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, typically every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type.
• Keeping the area around your outdoor unit clear: Debris like leaves, twigs, and grass clippings can block airflow to your outdoor unit, reducing its efficiency. Maintain a clear space of at least 2 feet around the unit on all sides.
• Adjusting your thermostat settings: A small change in temperature can make a big difference. Setting your thermostat a few degrees higher during the day can significantly reduce your AC’s workload and energy consumption. Consider using programmable thermostats to automate temperature adjustments throughout the day.
• Closing blinds and curtains during the day: Direct sunlight can heat up your home interior and force your AC to work harder. Closing blinds and curtains on south-facing windows during the hottest part of the day helps keep your home cooler naturally.
