🌞 It’s October in Texas… Why Are We Still Running the A/C?

Only in Texas can you carve a pumpkin with one hand and wipe sweat off your brow with the other. While other states are pulling out sweaters and sipping hot cocoa, we’re still fighting off 90-degree afternoons and sky-high electric bills. Welcome to fall — Texas-style.

When the thermometer refuses to budge below 85°, your air conditioner isn’t getting a break. Most systems in North Texas have been running almost nonstop since May. That kind of workload means dirt buildup, clogged filters, and components starting to show their age.

Even if your system seems fine, constant run time adds wear and tear that can lead to surprise breakdowns right when the first cool front finally arrives.
Why Fall Maintenance Still Matters

Scheduling HVAC maintenance in October might sound strange when you’re still cranking the A/C, but it’s actually the smartest time of year to do it.
Here’s why:

• Catching small problems early prevents expensive repairs later.
• Cleaning and tune-ups improve efficiency, which saves you money while it’s still hot.
• Inspecting the heat side of your system ensures you’re ready for that first cold snap — whenever Texas decides to send it.

At Texas Pride Heating & Air, we’ve seen it all — from systems running 24/7 through November to heat calls the same day as A/C service. That’s why our Bluebonnet Membership is built around Texas weather, not the calendar. You get routine tune-ups in spring and fall, priority service, and discounts that pay for themselves year after year.

The Bottom Line

Texas weather doesn’t play by the rules, but your comfort shouldn’t depend on a coin flip.

If it’s still hot in your house this October, your system deserves some attention before the next big temperature swing hits.
Call Texas Pride Heating & Air today to schedule your fall maintenance — and keep your home comfortable no matter what Texas throws our way.
