Spring is finally here in Texas! That means it’s time to switch off the heater and gear up for the AC season. But before those hot summer days roll in, there’s one thing you don’t want to skip — your spring HVAC maintenance.
Just like your car needs a tune-up, your HVAC system needs regular care. Let’s walk through a simple, homeowner-friendly checklist to help your system run smoothly all season long.
Why Spring HVAC Maintenance Is a Big Deal in Texas
Texas weather can be unpredictable. One day it’s breezy; the next, it’s blazing hot. If your HVAC system isn’t ready, it’ll struggle — and you’ll feel it.
Routine HVAC tune-ups:
- Improve energy efficiency
- Extend the lifespan of your unit
- Prevent unexpected breakdowns
- Keep your indoor air fresh and clean
And let’s face it — nobody wants to deal with a broken AC in the middle of a Texas summer.
Need help from trusted local professionals? Expert Air offers seasonal HVAC maintenance services across Spring, Houston, Baytown, and nearby areas.
1. Start with Your Air Filters
This one’s easy, but it’s often overlooked. Your HVAC filter traps dust, pollen, pet hair, and more. If it’s clogged, your system works harder — and your air quality suffers.
✅ Check filters monthly
✅ Replace every 30–90 days (or more often if you have pets)
Clean filters = better airflow + lower energy bills.
2. Clean Around Outdoor Units
Your outdoor condenser unit needs breathing room. If it’s surrounded by leaves, dirt, or debris, it can’t function properly.
✔️ Clear 2 feet of space around the unit
✔️ Remove leaves, grass, or branches
✔️ Check for any visible damage
If you’re unsure what to look for, book a professional HVAC inspection with us.
3. Test the Thermostat
This is a good time to check your thermostat settings. Does it cool your home quickly? Is the temperature reading accurate?
Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat if you haven’t already. It helps:
- Save on electricity
- Automate cooling schedules
- Monitor your usage easily
At Expert Air, we install and calibrate smart thermostats that are perfect for Texas homes.
4. Check Vents and Registers
Are some rooms warmer than others? It might be your airflow.
Walk around your home and:
➡️ Open and clean all air vents
➡️ Make sure nothing blocks airflow (like furniture or curtains)
➡️ Look for signs of mold or dust build-up
For deeper cleaning, ask about our duct cleaning services.
5. Schedule a Professional HVAC Tune-Up

6. Don’t Forget About Your Air Quality
Texas is no stranger to allergens. Pollen, dust, and pet dander can linger indoors long after the weather clears up.
That’s why we recommend:
- Installing air purifiers
- Upgrading to high-efficiency filters
- Getting your ducts inspected annually
Cleaner air means better health — especially for allergy-prone family members.
7. Consider a Generac Backup Generator
Texas storms can knock out power fast. A Generac backup generator keeps your HVAC running, even during blackouts.
