Air conditioning and heating service from a small Houston shop. One tech at your door, the fault found before the quote, and a system that runs quiet when the street is melting.
Chapter 01 — The work
Warm vents, frozen coils, breakers that won't stay on, water pooling where it shouldn't. The visit starts with listening: what it sounds like, which rooms feel wrong, when it started. Then the tech walks the whole system — electrical, refrigerant, airflow, drainage — and shows you the failed part before any number is mentioned. Most repairs finish on the same visit, because the truck carries what usually breaks.
Chapter 02 — The math
The diagnostic visit is a flat sample rate, waived when you approve the repair. Capacitor and contactor swaps land in the low hundreds; blower motors higher; tune-ups lower. Every figure below is a sample — the written quote on your system is the real number, and it doesn't move mid-job.
Chapter 03 — Replacement
Past 12–15 years, with a repair bill chasing the cost of new equipment, replacement usually wins. New systems get sized by load calculation — not copied off the old nameplate — then installed with flushed or replaced line sets, a proper thermostat setup, and a full-cycle test before the truck leaves. Old equipment goes with us.
Chapter 04 — Heating & care
Houston heating season is brief, which is exactly why furnaces fail in January — they sit idle for nine months. A fall visit covers ignition, safety controls, and heat pump changeover. Twice a year, spring and fall, the maintenance plan keeps coils clean, connections tight, and drains clear, so August and January both stay boring.
Chapter 05 — Your move
Monday through Saturday across Houston. Tell us the brand if you know it, what the system is doing wrong, and what the thermostat says — photos of the outdoor unit help the tech bring the right parts on the first trip.
