Pflugerville HVAC Questions
What can I do if my landlord in Texas won't fix my AC?
Texas law sets rules for repairs that affect health and safety, and the Texas State Law Library has plain guides on landlord and tenant repair rights. Send the landlord a repair request, keep a copy, and read those guides before withholding rent or making repairs yourself.
Is venting AC refrigerant illegal?
Yes. Clean Air Act Section 608 bans knowingly venting refrigerant from air conditioners and requires it to be recovered during repairs and disposal (EPA Section 608).
What happens if you breathe in a little bit of Freon?
A small whiff from a leak outdoors usually passes quickly, but refrigerant displaces oxygen in closed spaces and can cause dizziness and nausea. Get to fresh air, and call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 if symptoms do not clear.
Is 70 a good AC to keep the bill on?
70 is cool for a Central Texas summer, and the system runs much longer to hold it. Each degree higher cuts run time. Many homes settle around 76 to 78 when people are home.
