Cedar Park’s climate features hot, muggy summers and a brief cool season where average highs drop below 67 °F and January lows average 42 °F. Even in Central Texas, a well‑maintained system ensures comfort and efficiency when temperatures dip. Offer local readers this November checklist:
Schedule a professional tune‑up: The U.S. Department of Energy notes that preventive maintenance can improve HVAC efficiency by up to 15 %. Inspect refrigerant levels, test heating performance and tighten electrical connections before winter arrives.
Change filters regularly: ENERGY STAR recommends replacing or cleaning air filters monthly during heavy use and at least every three months. Dirty filters restrict airflow and waste energy.
Seal ducts and insulate: Leaky ducts can waste up to 20 % of heating energy. Inspect attic and crawl‑space ductwork and add insulation where necessary.
Inspect thermostat settings: During winter, ENERGY STAR advises setting your thermostat back 7–10 °F for eight hours to save up to 10 % per year on heating and cooling.
Clear the outdoor unit: Remove leaves and debris around the heat‑pump or condenser to maintain airflow.
