Want a cool house?

Every Sunday as I am browsing the paper, I always check out the Sunday Homes (Austin Real Estate) section in the Austin American Statesman because from time to time, you can pick up some good advice about home maintenance. 

This Sunday, the Real Estate section included a brief article about air conditioner maintenance and a couple of simple tips to keep your HVAC system running at peak efficiency.  This is the type of thing that I enjoy sharing with my clients and on the Austin Property Talk blog because it is relevant and timely.  In Austin, Texas air conditioning is our life blood during the HOT Summers. 

Is there any appliance more valuable than the air conditioner, at least in Central Texas? 

Before temperatures start to ascend into the stratosphere, think about what you can do to get your unit ready for prime-time usage.

The goal is to help it operate as efficiently as possible.  That's good for the environment, your electric bills and your comfort.
