Key Climate Factors:
El Niño Transition: While early 2026 was marked by a dry, hot La Niña pattern, a shift toward El Niño is expected by late spring/summer.
Precipitation: Despite the heat, the spring could bring closer-to-average or even above-average rain in some areas, potentially easing drought conditions slightly, though hot conditions are expected to persist.
Summer Outlook: The warm spring is signaling a high potential for a very hot summer in 2026, according to ERCOT and National Weather Service.
The takeaway is; take this time right now to have your air-conditioning serviced. Get your condenser and evaporator coils, cleaned, keep your air filters changed, and if there is any other maintenance that needs to be done, have it checked out now while the air-conditioning companies are not terribly busy. It is a guarantee when the temperatures are at 90° and above, air conditioning companies, no matter who they are will not be able to get to you quickly. Today, however with early mild weather, the air conditioning companies have available technicians.
If you do not have a generator for your home now is the time to consider it, financing availability can make the difference. The average single-family home can survive perfectly well on a 20 kW generator. If you have multiple air conditioners, you may want to go larger.
If you are considering an air conditioner, there are three categories of people.
Category one, this is a person that wants life to go on as if nothing happened when the power goes out.
Category two, this is a person that doesn’t mind making minor cutbacks. Such as not running many things at the same time, if they have multiple air conditioners as long as one of them is working so they have an area of the house to go to that is sufficient for keeping them cool. But they want all of their lighting all of their toys to be able to charge watch TV have Internet cook and store their food without any interruption.
Category three, a category three person does not mind making major cutbacks during a power outage. For instance, they want to have light, but they don’t need to run all of the lights at the same time, they don’t necessarily need their air-conditioning working as long as they have fans that are working. They definitely do not want to have any of their food, spoiled whether it be there deep freezer or refrigerator or such but they still want to be able to charge their phones and possibly watch their TV and have Internet access.
A category three person also may not care if the generator has to be started manually.
So if you are looking for your air-conditioning system to be checked and make sure it’s in optimum condition, or you are looking to get back up power, call AOT mechanical, 281-883-9972
