Houston heat,
handled.

Chapter 01 — The work

AC repair, minus the theater.

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.

  • Capacitors, contactors, relays — the usual no-cool suspects
  • Refrigerant service — leak found first, charge second
  • Blower & condenser motors — replaced and airflow-verified
  • Drain lines & pans — flushed, treated, tested

Chapter 02 — The math

$89

Sample numbers,
before we touch a wrench.

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.

  • Diagnostic visit — $89 sample, waived with repair
  • Capacitor / contactor — $180–$320 sample
  • Blower motor — $450–$750 sample
  • Seasonal tune-up — $129 sample

Chapter 03 — Replacement

When repair stops making sense.

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.

  • Sized by calculation — Manual J, not guesswork
  • Line sets — flushed or replaced, pressure-tested
  • Walkthrough — thermostat and filters explained

Chapter 04 — Heating & care

Short winter.
Real cold snaps.

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.

  • Fall furnace & heat pump service
  • Spring + fall maintenance plan — coils, electrical, drains
  • Duct sealing & balancing — even rooms, lower bills

Chapter 05 — Your move

Call before
the house hits 88°.

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.
