Don’t Let Summer Heat Drain Your Wallet
Texas summers are no joke. As the temperatures climb, so do energy bills—but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer through sky-high cooling costs. With the right HVAC energy-saving upgrades, you can keep your home comfortable without breaking the bank.
At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we help homeowners cut energy waste, improve efficiency, and prevent costly AC breakdowns before the summer heat hits. Here’s how you can take control of your cooling costs this season.
Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat
If you’re still adjusting your thermostat manually, you’re missing out on one of the easiest ways to save energy. A smart thermostat learns your household’s schedule and adjusts temperatures automatically—keeping you cool when you need it and saving energy when you don’t.
Why It’s a Smart Move:
- Lower energy bills – Small temperature adjustments throughout the day can cut cooling costs by up to 10%.
- More convenience – Control your AC from anywhere with a smartphone app.
- Better efficiency – Prevents overcooling and unnecessary energy waste.
Let Radiant install a smart thermostat for you! Our team ensures compatibility, correct setup, and seamless integration with your HVAC system for maximum energy savings.
Invest in a High-Efficiency Air Conditioner
Your AC is the biggest energy consumer in your home—and if it’s over 8 years old, it’s likely costing you more than it should. Upgrading to a high-efficiency AC unit can lower your energy bills while keeping your home cooler with less effort.
What to Look for in a New AC:
- Higher SEER rating – The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures how efficiently your AC runs. A rating of 16 or higher means lower energy consumption.
- Advanced Filtration for Healthier Air – Modern ACs come with built-in air purification and enhanced filtration, helping remove dust, allergens, and airborne pollutants that older systems struggle to filter.
- Better cooling performance – Newer models cool your home faster and more evenly without overworking.
- Quieter operation – No more loud rattling ACs disrupting your home.
At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we install top-tier Trane and Mitsubishi models, ensuring your home stays cooler, your air stays cleaner, and your energy bills stay lower.

Personalize Cooling with a Zoning System
Why cool rooms you’re not even using? An HVAC zoning system lets you set different temperatures for different areas of your home—so your living room stays cool without wasting energy in the guest room.
How Zoning Saves You Money:
- Cools only where needed – Reduces wasted energy by adjusting temperatures in unused spaces.
- Perfect for multi-story homes – Prevents hot upstairs rooms while keeping downstairs comfortable.
- Custom comfort for every space – No more family thermostat battles!
Radiant’s HVAC zoning experts design a system tailored to your home’s layout, ensuring maximum efficiency and comfort.
Upgrade to a Heat Pump for Year-Round Efficiency & Cleaner Air
Looking for a smarter, more energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home? Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in a single system, making them a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional HVAC units.
Why Heat Pumps Are More Efficient:
- Uses Less Energy – Instead of generating heat like a furnace, a heat pump transfers heat, consuming significantly less electricity.
- Works Year-Round – Cool your home in the summer and heat it in the winter with one efficient system.
- Improves Indoor Air Quality – Many modern heat pumps include advanced air filtration to reduce dust, allergens, and humidity, making your home’s air cleaner and healthier.
If you’re looking for a versatile, energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home, Radiant can install a high-performance heat pump that keeps your space comfortable in every season.
Consider a Ductless Mini-Split System
Not every space in your home needs a full AC system, or maybe you have an older home without ducting. Ductless mini-split systems provide energy-efficient cooling for garages, home additions, or rooms that struggle to stay comfortable.
Key Advantages of Ductless Systems
- No ductwork = no energy loss – Traditional ducts waste up to 30% of cooled air.
- Targeted cooling – Perfect for single-room temperature control.
- High SEER ratings – Many models are more efficient than central AC.
If your home has hot spots or rooms that never seem to cool down, Radiant can install a mini-split system that keeps your space comfortable year-round.
Seal and Insulate Your Ductwork
Leaky ducts waste energy by letting cooled air escape before it even reaches your vents. Sealing and insulating your ductwork ensures your AC runs efficiently without overworking.
Why It Matters
- Prevents up to 30% of energy loss – Saves money by keeping conditioned air inside.
- More even cooling – No more hot and cold spots in different rooms.
- Less strain on your AC – Extends the life of your system.
At Radiant, we use advanced Aeroseal technology to seal leaks from the inside—eliminating wasted energy and boosting your AC’s performance.
Enhance Attic Insulation for Better Cooling
Did you know your attic can trap heat, forcing your AC to work overtime? Upgrading attic insulation keeps cool air in and hot air out, reducing your home’s overall cooling demands.
Signs Insulation Needs an Upgrade
- Uneven temperatures throughout your home
- Higher energy bills despite no change in AC use
- Insulation older than 10 years
Radiant’s insulation experts evaluate your attic and install high-quality materials that improve efficiency and comfort.
