It’s Hot Again in Crowley!


It’s Hot Again in Crowley… Your Thermostat Is Not a Race Car

When the Crowley heat hits hard and the house still feels warm, the natural reaction is to keep dropping the thermostat lower and lower. But turning it down to 60° doesn’t make your AC cool the house any faster — it usually just makes the system work harder, freeze up, or short-cycle.

The OWA Team has seen this move more times than we can count. Here’s the better approach.

Common Thermostat Moves That Backfire in This Heat

“I’ll just set it to 60° so it cools faster”
Your system can only remove so much heat at once. Dropping the set point too low often leads to freezing coils and longer recovery times.
“I’ll close the vents in the rooms we don’t use”
This increases static pressure in the ductwork and can actually reduce overall airflow and efficiency.
“The filter still looks okay”
A restricted filter is one of the top reasons systems struggle in extreme heat. When it’s dirty, the whole system works harder and cools less.
“I’ll just leave the door cracked for a second”
Even short periods of open doors or windows in 100°+ weather can overwhelm the system and undo hours of cooling.
“I’ll wait until it completely stops working”
Waiting until the system fails usually turns a simple repair into a more expensive emergency call during the hottest week of the year.
“I’ll call Only Way Air… eventually”
Smart move. We diagnose the real issue and fix it the right way the first time — no thermostat games required.
