Plano 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 this guide relevant for Plano homes in Collin County?+

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