Austin climate and what it means for your HVAC

Austin summers are long and humid, and stretches of 100°F days are common in July and August. Central AC typically runs from late spring into October, so efficiency and correct sizing matter more here than in most of the country.

For long-term temperature data, see NOAA's U.S. Climate Normals.

Common systems in Austin homes

Most homes use split-system central AC with a gas furnace or a heat pump. Older central neighborhoods often have attic air handlers and long duct runs; newer builds in the suburbs more often have heat pumps.

Typical problems

Attic air handlers and ducts sit in very hot attics, so clogged condensate lines, frozen coils from dirty filters and failing capacitors are frequent summer calls. Duct leakage in older homes can make one room much hotter than the rest.

Permits

The City of Austin requires a permit for HVAC replacements, and Austin Energy rebates require the contractor to meet permit and sizing requirements. Ask any contractor whether the permit is included in the quote.
