Houston summers aren’t just hot—they’re brutal. With temperatures soaring past 100°F and humidity making it feel even worse, a failing air conditioner isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s dangerous. At EMHVACTX, we’ve helped thousands of Houston, Richmond, Katy, Sugar Land, and Missouri City homeowners survive (and thrive) during scorching summers. Here’s your ultimate guide to keeping cool, saving money, and avoiding breakdowns.
1. Why Houston’s Heat is a Killer for ACs
Houston’s unique climate pushes air conditioners to their limits because of:
- High humidity – Makes your AC work 30% harder to remove moisture
- Long cooling seasons – Most systems run 8+ months per year
- Power surges – Summer storms strain electrical components
🚨 Warning Sign: If your AC runs nonstop but your home never feels cool, you need professional help ASAP!
