Electric generators and transmission substations are large, complex machines that require regular maintenance in the spring and fall, to operate all summer and winter long. Maintenance is scheduled with ERCOT or other governing grid’s authority to ensure sufficient generation.

Changing your HVAC filter as scheduled will improve your system’s energy efficiency and avoid increasing air flow resistance, which can damage your system, leading to expensive repairs and higher electricity costs.
