At D & D Climate Control, we take energy efficiency seriously. We understand high energy bills are sometimes unavoidable when air conditioning is crucial for comfort during the hot months.

Summer’s heat is finally easing up in La Porte, but your AC didn’t seem to get the memo—it’s running strangely and not keeping your home comfortable.

Let’s face it—buying a new air conditioning system or furnace isn’t exactly the kind of shopping spree you daydream about. There’s no “add to cart” satisfaction here—just a hefty price tag and a lot of questions.

According to the U.S. DOE, a simple task such as changing the air filter on your HVAC system can improve efficiency by up to 15 percent.

Sometimes, life moves incredibly fast. You could have sworn you just bought your air conditioner. But lately, it doesn’t seem to be working so well.

Today’s air conditioner (AC) is based on a prototype invented in 1902 by Willis Carrier, an engineer from Buffalo, New York. Unlike earlier forms of cooling, Carrier’s model controlled the temperature by removing heat and humidity from the air.  Below are some air conditioning basics.

It’s summertime in Texas. The team at D & D Climate Control hopes you find time to relax with friends and family and enjoy the beautiful sunny days.

When you change out a dirty filter for a clean one, your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment use up to 15 percent less energy monthly, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Plus, it’s able to properly catch dust and debris, boosting your indoor air quality (IAQ).

When your air conditioner (AC) is running at peak efficiency, you win.

Not only will your electric bills in Texas be cheaper––your AC system will last longer. Plus, your equipment will be operating at its best, so you will experience maximum comfort.

Should you repair or replace? That’s always the big question when it comes to major home systems like air conditioning (AC).
