AC works fine year round. Clean outside units. New filters monthly. Maintained consistently. No short cycling. Typical delta is 18-20 degrees from intake to air registers. I checked my thermostat history from last year and we didn't have any days where it struggled to keep up, but we also didn't really have days quite as hot as yesterday...

It did cool down once the sun went down. Just trying not to stress about the next week plus of severe heat....

I wanted to share this report on an old kidnapping case from Plano.

We have been taking my son to walk at willow bend but it’s about 20 minutes, however it’s pretty empty everyday which we like. Is there anything similar in south Plano closer to 75 & PGBT / Canyon Creek area that we could check out?

Hi there! I’m purchasing a home in Plano and it has popcorn ceilings that I’d like removed, smoothed out, and painted. Anyone have any experience with this with local contractors? Any Plano companies that you’d recommend (or not recommend😬)? I would love to find someone local to support. Thanks in advance!

So I recently got deferred adjudication for a misdemeanor and was put on probation.

Last week I was told by the court that I needed to immediately schedule the meeting, as their systems were down and I wasn’t even given then login/access to the portal they mentioned. I called my officer about 5 times over 2 days, and finally this week after 4 additional emails was told “oh I’m in office 6-2pm”. So today I show up at 6am only to find the office itself doesn’t even open until 7am…after calling my officer, he confirms “Oh I’m in here at 6, but but the office itself can’t let you in until 7am, so lets schedule an appointment for next week when I’m available”.

I spoke to a friend about it and they basically said this is normal, as his probation officer years ago screwed him by setting an appointment to him and then changing the date without notifying him, making him delinquent and causing them to stack a charge…

Is there anything I can do about this? This is my first actual run in with any law enforcement and so far the entire year+ process of this has been an absolute nightmare. On top of this all, my work wants me to relocate and the probation officer has yet to address that situation either…

Anyone have advice or similar experiences with this whole process??

Many older central air conditioners in Plano were installed with a 1 1/8-inch refrigerant line, while many newer systems are designed for a 7/8-inch refrigerant line.

Using the wrong refrigerant line size can affect refrigerant flow, compressor performance, system efficiency, and equipment life. Some manufacturers allow larger refrigerant lines under specific conditions, but others require the correct size to maintain performance and warranty coverage.

Before replacing your AC, have your HVAC contractor verify whether your existing refrigerant line meets the new system's specifications. Replacing the refrigerant line during installation may help prevent future performance and reliability issues.

Car on fire. Massive flames. Fire department just arrived. Crazy to watch. Hope no one got hurt!

Hi Plano family! Not sure if this is the right forum, but need urgent recommendations for an excellent Endocrinologist in Plano area for my husband. He was recently diagnosed with diabetes. We are eager to manage it before it gets worse. Please suggest doctors or point me in the right direction! As always, thank you very much in advance 😊

I’m coming to Plano for the first time this weekend and looking for things to do and places I need to try. Y’all have any good recommendations? I will say it is my bday Monday so I definitely want to do something fun that day.

Hey guys, I just recently moved to plano and adopted a kitten! If anyone knows any good vets in the area they can recommend, that would be great.

Just checking to see how your HVAC systems are running in this heat. I have a 2800sqft single level house. My system is running nonstop during the day. We have the temp set for 76. The system will run nonstop and It will slowly creep up to 78-79 degrees and run all day. As the temps cool the system will slowly cool the house down about 1 degree per hour. In the evening we set it to 74 and it eventually gets there around 11pm and cycles on/off as normal.

Is this normal? Or are your units able to get your home temps lower during the day without running nonstop?

Does anyone know a decent tenant rights lawyer local to the DFW area who takes clients in Plano? I am currently going through major issues with my apartment complex and would like to see if it's possible to terminate the lease early without penalty.

I've got a storm drain behind the house that periodically gets clogged with debris and for the last 8 years I've cleared it myself. Well it had been a while since I was able to get out there, and with all the rain this year the drain was under 4-5 inches of mud. I just uploaded a picture to the app and gave them the location, they had it cleared within 4 hours.

I've used the app twice now and both times it was handled quickly, great job u/CityofPlano

I live near the old Collin Creek Mall area and my electric bill is skyrocketing near $700. We have a new contract starting next month, but I was curious what others in the area are paying.

hi! sorry for the bad pic - what are these cameras theyre installing? on alma and legacy. they don't look like flock cameras but look too fancy to be a normal red light cam.

Had a slow drain in my kitchen sink and had Drain Doctor come out to unclog it which they did (Via cleanout). Unfortunately, it looks like there's a break in the line about 5 feet down that will need to get repaired. I'm looking around and it seems like Plano Plumbing and Leak Detection is a solid option but wanted to see if there were any other recommendations from folks. Also hoping this isn't going to be toooo expensive since it's not that far down (according to the Drain Doctor tech). Thanks!

This is my first pregnancy and we just moved here. Hoping to save our PTO for post delivery. Does anyone have any recommendations for an OBGYN that accepts appointments on Saturdays?
