Allen FAQ

Will lowering the thermostat fix a humid house?+

Not usually. If the real issue is moisture rather than temperature, running the AC colder just wastes energy without actually solving the sticky, clammy feeling.

Does a bigger AC system control humidity better?+

No, often the opposite. An oversized system cools quickly and shuts off before it's run long enough to remove much moisture, which can leave a home feeling more humid, not less.

Is there anything specific to Allen homes I should know before calling?+

Nothing that changes the fundamentals, just let us know you're in Allen and what you're seeing, and we'll take it from there with the same honest diagnostic we bring to every call.
