Energy-Saving HVAC Tips for Laredo Homeowners:
Keeping Cool in the South Texas Heat — Don’t Break the Bank with these HVAC Tips
Laredo summers are long, hot, and relentless. When your AC runs nearly every day, energy bills can climb fast. But with the right habits, some helpful HVAC Tips, and a few professional adjustments you can stay cool while cutting costs.
At MCF Air Conditioning, we help homeowners across Laredo maximize comfort and minimize waste. Here are our top energy-saving HVAC tips tailored for the South Texas climate.
1. Set Your Thermostat Smartly
According to Texas energy experts, setting your thermostat to 78°F when you’re home and 85°F when you’re away can significantly reduce energy use. For even greater control, install a smart thermostat that automatically adjusts based on your schedule — MCF can help set it up.
2. Keep Filters Clean
Clogged filters restrict airflow, forcing your AC to work harder. Replace or clean filters every 30–60 days, especially during Laredo’s dusty summer months. MCF technicians can recommend the best filter type for your system.
3. Seal Ducts and Air Leaks
Up to 30% of cooling energy is lost through leaky ductwork or poorly sealed windows and doors. Our team can inspect your system for air leaks and seal them to improve efficiency.
4. Schedule Regular Maintenance
A professional tune-up before summer can improve your system’s performance by up to 15%. During MCF’s maintenance visit, we clean coils, test refrigerant levels, and ensure all components run smoothly — saving you money month after month.
5. Use Fans and Shades to Help Your AC
Ceiling fans help circulate cool air more efficiently. Close blinds and curtains during the hottest part of the day to keep out radiant heat. These small changes lighten the load on your HVAC system.
