Summers in El Paso are no joke. With temperatures regularly hitting the triple digits, your air conditioning system needs to work overtime just to keep your home livable. But running your AC nonstop can lead to higher energy bills, unexpected breakdowns, and worn-out parts-especially if your system hasn't been serviced recently.
If you want to stay cool, comfortable, and protected this summer, here's what you need to know.
1. Schedule a Summer AC Tune-Up
This is the most important step you can take. Regular maintenance can:
Improve cooling efficiency
Catch problems early
Extend the life of your AC
Lower monthly energy bills
Reduce the risk of emergency repairs
Our certified HVAC technicians at Ignitify provide thorough summer tune-ups that keep your system running at its best during peak heat.
2. Check and Replace Your Air Filter
A dirty air filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder and use more energy. In El Paso's dusty environment, you should check your filter every 30 days during the summer.
3. Seal Air Leaks and Insulate Your Home
Your AC shouldn't have to cool the outdoors. Sealing air leaks around windows and doors and adding insulation where needed will keep cool air in and hot air out, improving your comfort and reducing system strain.
4. Use a Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats like the Nuve system from Ignitify help manage your energy use by learning your habits and adjusting temperatures automatically. Set higher temps when you're away and cooler temps when you're home to save money without sacrificing comfort.
5. Know the Signs of a System Struggling in the Heat
If your AC is showing any of the following signs, it may be time to call for repair or consider replacement:
Weak airflow or warm air
Strange smells or loud noises
Ice forming on coils
Higher than usual electric bills
AC runs all day but never cools the house
The sooner you act, the less likely it is you'll face a total breakdown during a heatwave.
6. Consider Upgrading to a High-Efficiency AC System
If your system is over 10 years old or needs frequent repairs, a new energy-efficient AC unit can provide stronger cooling, lower bills, and peace of mind. At Ignitify, we offer full AC installation services in El Paso with flexible financing and expert support.
