🚂 Free Train Rides, Paddy Fling & Tasty Tuesday

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Happy Tuesday, New Braunfels! The week’s in full swing, but there’s already some fun stuff popping up around New Braunfels that’s worth planning ahead for. Whether you’re looking for something easy with the kids or a unique local event, there’s a little mix of everything coming up.

❄️ DON’T WAIT FOR YOUR AC TO BREAK

Summer’s coming fast, and the worst time to deal with AC issues is when it’s already 100° outside. Getting ahead of it now with a quick maintenance check can save you from a mid-season breakdown and expensive repairs.

Our partners at Rise Service Company offer professional AC tune-ups that cover it all, from a full 21-point inspection and coil cleaning to electrical testing and refrigerant checks. It’s a simple move that helps your system run better, last longer, and keep your home cool when it matters most.

👉 Book your tune-up now and stay ahead of the heat.

DON’T MISS THE UPTOWN GRUENE PADDY FLING

💧 HARD WATER IS REAL…BUT IT’S FIXABLE

If you’ve lived in New Braunfels for a minute, you’ve felt it, spots on dishes, buildup on fixtures, dry skin, and appliances that wear out faster than they should. That’s all thanks to “very hard” water packed with minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Our partners at Aqua-Man Water Conditioning specialize in fixing exactly that. They design custom water softening and filtration systems built for Hill Country homes, helping you get cleaner water, better results from soaps and detergents, and less wear on everything in your house.
