The heat of summer can put quite a strain on your air conditioner here in Bandera, TX, just as the cool air of winter ensures that your heater will need to be ready for daily use. Even when your systems function 100% as expected, you’re likely looking at high monthly bills to cover the energy consumed.
You can take steps to cut those bills down by making your home more energy efficient: anything from adding more insulation to simply putting down weather stripping for those cracks under your doors and windows.

Bandera, TX residents need air conditioning systems to keep their home cool, and most of us are happy with the traditional centralized system that most of us are familiar with. But it’s not the only type of air conditioner out there, and if you’re looking for an alternative model, you would do well to examine the possibilities offered by a ductless air conditioning system. As the name implies, ductless air conditioning has no need for the system of ducts that centralized systems use. Instead, it places multiple smaller units throughout your home, each one charged with cooling a specific room or section. It costs more to install than centralized systems, but in return, it offers a number of benefits that can improve your quality of life dramatically.
