AC Repair in Houston, TX
When your AC quits in the middle of a Houston summer, you need a straight answer fast. We diagnose the real cause and get cool air moving again, often the same day.
Most no-cool calls we run in Houston trace back to a handful of usual suspects: a failed run capacitor, a burnt-out contactor, a seized condenser fan motor, or a compressor that's tripping on high head pressure. Our technician starts at the disconnect and works through the system with meters in hand, so you get a diagnosis based on readings, not guesswork. You'll hear exactly what failed and why before we touch a wrench.
Refrigerant problems are the other big one here. If your system is low on charge it's because there's a leak somewhere, so we find and fix the leak instead of just topping off and sending you a bill you'll be paying again next month. We check superheat and subcooling, inspect the coil and line set, and confirm the charge is right for the way your equipment actually runs in our heat.
Because Houston systems run hard from March through October, small faults snowball fast. A weak capacitor that would limp along in a milder climate will cook a compressor here once the outdoor temps hit the high 90s. We catch those borderline components during the repair so one service call doesn't turn into three.
Hurricane season brings its own repairs. Power flickers and surges from summer storms are hard on control boards, capacitors, and contactors, and we see a wave of those failures every time a system gets hit. If your AC died right after an outage, that's usually where we start looking.

Frequently asked questions
Can you come out the same day?
In most cases, yes. We hold same-day slots across Greater Houston for no-cool calls, especially during the hot months. Call us and we'll tell you the soonest we can get to you.
My AC just needs more freon, right?
If your system is low on refrigerant, it has a leak somewhere, because a sealed system doesn't use refrigerant up. We find and repair the leak, then recharge to the correct level, so you're not paying to refill it every summer.
Is it worth repairing an older AC or should I replace it?
It depends on the repair cost, the age, and the refrigerant type. If your unit still runs R-22 or the compressor is failing on a 12-plus-year-old system, we'll lay out repair-versus-replace numbers honestly so you can decide. There's no pressure to buy a new system.
Why did my AC fail right after a storm?
Summer power surges and outages are tough on capacitors, contactors, and control boards. Post-storm failures are common in Houston, and those are usually quick, affordable fixes once we confirm what took the hit.
