Forth Worth sits at an elevation of 653 feet, which is the highest in Texas.
Because of that and a high latitude North, our city sees the most snow of anywhere in the state. While we average around two inches, we can get as much as seven inches. Bluewood, Breckenridge and Denton are popular ski resorts within a few hours drive of the the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Along with winter temperatures plummeting into the mid to low thirties, we can expect summer conditions in the high nineties. It’s not unusual to experience triple digit temperatures in July and August with extremely brutal humidity. Due to the weather extremes, we spend a lot of time indoors. We trade off between relying on the heating or cooling system and rarely have the opportunity to open the windows. The expense of indoor temperature control is a significant drain on the budget. In order to keep heating and cooling costs to a minimum, energy saving measures are essential. I’ve made the thermal envelope a priority. I’ve invested into premium windows and exterior doors and taken the time to weatherstrip, caulk and insulate. I installed ceiling fans to create a cooling effect in the summer to help distribute heat during the winter. Enrolling into a maintenance plan with a local Fort Worth HVAC company ensures that the air conditioner and furnace are properly taken care of. With service annually, the components are kept in peak condition. I can count on maximum energy efficiency, capacity and reliability. Plus, this service fulfills the requirements of the manufacturer’s warranty and ensures coverage in the event of a repair.
