Balch Springs FAQ

Why did my AC bill go up even though I haven't changed the thermostat?+

It's often a gradual decline in system efficiency, duct leaks, or a building envelope issue like sun exposure and insulation, rather than a single obvious cause. A diagnostic can identify which factor is actually driving the increase.

Does an oversized AC system cost more to run?+

It can. An oversized system cycles on and off frequently without properly dehumidifying the home, which can leave it feeling clammy and prompt a lower thermostat setting to compensate, using more energy than a correctly sized system would.

Is this guide relevant for Balch Springs homes in Dallas County?+

Yes, this applies to homes throughout Dallas County, including Balch Springs. If you'd like this looked at for your specific address, call (817) 935-8540 and mention your ZIP code.
