AC Tune-Up in Highlands: What You Need to Know

If you're living in Highlands or Barrett Station, your air conditioner's working overtime, and probably has been for years. With the humidity that rolls in off the San Jacinto River and summer heat that doesn't quit, an AC system that isn't running right will drain your wallet faster than you'd think. Most homes in this area are pushing 28 years old, and plenty of folks are still in those post-Harvey rebuilds with newer units that need proper care to keep running strong.
