We've served this area long enough to know what works, and the everyday heating and cooling work is the foundation of what we do. AC repair, heating and furnace repair, heat pump service, system installation and replacement, ductwork, thermostats, indoor air quality -- we handle all of it for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across New Braunfels.
When something breaks, we keep the process straightforward. We diagnose the problem, explain what we found, and give you honest pricing before any work begins. No pressure and no gimmicks, just reliable comfort -- that is what every customer should expect, and it is what we deliver on every call.
We're one phone call from getting your comfort right.
When the AC stops cooling, starts blowing warm air, or quits entirely, we want to be the first call you make. We service central air conditioning systems of all makes and models, covering refrigerant leak diagnosis, condenser and compressor service, evaporator coil issues, and airflow problems that leave some rooms warmer than others.
Summer in South-Central Texas is long and unforgiving, and a system failure in July is not something you want to sit on. We offer same-day AC repair when availability allows, so you are not waiting through the heat for help to arrive.
A furnace that stops working, blows cold air, or cycles on and off without heating the house is a real problem, especially during the colder stretches Comal County sees in January and February. We repair gas furnaces and all common heating systems, and we offer emergency furnace repair when the situation cannot wait.
Heating season here may be shorter than it is further north, but when temperatures drop, the calls come in fast. Trained technicians on the job means repairs are done right the first time, and we test the system before we leave every time.
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, which makes them a natural fit for this part of Texas. When a heat pump stops heating, stops cooling, or just is not performing the way it should, we run a full diagnosis covering refrigerant levels, system controls, and mechanical components.
If your heat pump is aging out or has failed beyond repair, we can walk you through replacement options, including ductless mini-split systems. More on that in the installation section below.
From a quick tune-up to a whole-system replacement, we've seen it all, and full system installation is some of the most important work we do. Whether you are replacing a system that has run its course, upgrading aging equipment for better efficiency, or putting HVAC into a new construction or addition, we handle the job from sizing and selection through installation and startup.
We work with residential customers, landlords managing rental properties, and commercial clients who need reliable climate control in offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings. Every installation is sized properly for the space and completed to code. Code-compliant HVAC work on every job is a standard we hold on every project, not just the big ones.
Let us handle the install and the permits.
South-Central Texas runs a true four-season climate, and New Braunfels sits right in the zone where long, hot summers meet genuine winter cold snaps. That combination shapes the HVAC work we see most often. The services below are the ones that come up again and again in this area, and each one is a natural fit for what local homes and buildings actually need.
When a system reaches the end of its useful life, replacement is the smarter investment. New Braunfels homes run their air conditioning hard from April through October, and that kind of sustained use adds up over the years. An aging system that struggles to keep up, cycles constantly, or runs up the energy bill is telling you something.
We handle full system replacement for both the furnace and the AC unit, and we size the new equipment to the home rather than just swapping in whatever was there before. Proper sizing makes a measurable difference in comfort and long-term performance. We walk you through the options, give you honest pricing, and schedule the installation around your timeline.
Heat pumps are a strong fit for this part of Texas. The winters here are mild enough that a heat pump handles heating efficiently without the backup demands it would face further north, and the long cooling season means the system earns its keep on the AC side. Ductless mini-split installation is also available for additions, garages, sunrooms, or any space that needs independent climate control without running new ductwork.
We'll diagnose it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Humidity is a real comfort issue in the Hill Country and the San Antonio corridor, and New Braunfels sits right in the middle of it. High indoor humidity makes a well-cooled home feel clammy, puts extra load on the air handler, and contributes to air quality problems over time.
A whole-home dehumidifier integrates with your existing HVAC system to pull excess moisture out of the air before it becomes a problem. Our locally owned and operated HVAC technicians install and service these systems and can assess whether humidity control makes sense for your home or building. It is one of the more impactful upgrades available for comfort in this climate.
Heating and cooling a home right takes the right tools and a trained hand, and the equipment is only part of the picture. Leaking or poorly sealed ductwork can undermine even a new, efficient system, sending conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces instead of the rooms you are paying to cool or heat. We inspect, repair, seal, and replace ductwork, and we can identify duct losses that are driving up your energy costs.
On the controls side, we install programmable and smart thermostats that give you better command over your system and can reduce energy use without sacrificing comfort. If a thermostat is not working or is communicating poorly with the system, we diagnose and replace it.
Indoor air quality rounds out this side of the work. We install air purifiers, whole-home filtration systems, and air scrubbers that reduce allergens, dust, and airborne particles. This is the kind of HVAC work neighbors pass along by word of mouth, because the results are something you actually feel every day in your own home.
We make the repair and leave the home tidy.
We built this business around HVAC work like this -- the steady, preventive maintenance that keeps systems running through the season without a breakdown. A seasonal tune-up covers the full system: cleaning, inspection, refrigerant check, electrical connections, airflow, and a look at anything that could become a problem before it does.
Spring and fall are the natural times to schedule, catching the AC before summer heat arrives and the furnace before the first cold snap. We service both residential and commercial systems, and maintenance is available for all major equipment types. Neutral pricing, honest assessments, and no upselling on parts that do not need replacing.
Businesses in New Braunfels and across Comal County count on us for the same quality of work we bring to every residential job. We repair, service, and maintain commercial HVAC systems in offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings, and we understand that downtime in a commercial setting has real costs.
Work performed by qualified HVAC technicians means your commercial system gets the same attention to detail as a home installation. We handle commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, and scheduled maintenance programs that keep equipment running reliably through the year.
Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Comfort restored.
We have been doing this work in New Braunfels since 1995. Thirty-one years in this community means we know the homes, the climate, and the equipment that holds up here. When you call us, you reach a local person who knows the area and can get someone to your door quickly.
Hire local and you get people who stand behind the work. That is not a slogan -- it is how a locally owned business stays in business for three decades in the same community.
We serve New Braunfels and the surrounding area, including Canyon Lake, Seguin, San Marcos, Kyle, Wimberley, Bulverde, Schertz, and Buda. If you are in or around Comal County and need HVAC service, we are close by and ready to help.
For urgent repairs, we offer same-day service when availability allows, and we prioritize no-cool and no-heat calls during peak season. When you call (830) 632-8965, we will give you an honest estimate of when we can arrive based on what is already on the schedule that day.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, including weekends. If your system goes down in the evening or on a weekend, call (830) 632-8965 and we will get someone out to you.
It helps to know the make and model of your system if you can find it, a brief description of the problem, and whether the issue is affecting heating, cooling, or both. Having that information ready lets us dispatch the right technician with the right parts on the first visit.
We give you a clear price before any work begins, so there are no surprises when the job is done. Payment is collected at the time of service once the work is complete and you have had a chance to see what was done.
The size and type of system can affect the scope of a repair or replacement, and we factor that into the quote we give before work starts. A larger system or a more complex installation will generally involve more materials and time, and we walk you through that clearly so you understand what you are paying for.
The technician will introduce themselves, ask about the symptoms you have been seeing, and then run a full diagnostic before recommending any repair. We explain what we found and what the fix involves before touching anything, so you stay informed throughout the visit.
Make sure the technician has clear access to the indoor air handler, the outdoor unit, and the thermostat. If you have pets, securing them away from the work area helps the visit go smoothly and keeps everyone safe.
We work with landlords and property managers throughout New Braunfels and Comal County who need reliable, consistent service across multiple units. We can coordinate directly with tenants for access and communicate with the property owner on findings and pricing so everyone stays in the loop.
We serve communities throughout the area, including Seguin, San Marcos, Canyon Lake, Schertz, and others nearby. Any travel or trip charge will be explained when you call, before we schedule the visit.
The technician walks you through the diagnosis before starting any repair and checks in with you if anything unexpected comes up during the work. We do not proceed with additional repairs or charges without your approval first.

From a same-day AC repair in the middle of a South Texas summer to a full system replacement sized right for your home, every job gets the same honest pricing and careful workmanship. The table below lays out what each service covers and who it fits best, so you can call us knowing exactly what to expect.
| Service | What's Included | Common Needs | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC Repair & Service | refrigerant leak diagnosis, condenser and compressor service, evaporator coil and airflow issues | homeowners and businesses with a system that has stopped cooling or is underperforming | Same-day repair is available when the schedule allows, which matters when South Texas summer heat is not waiting around. |
| Whole-Home Dehumidification & Humidity Control | whole-home dehumidifier installation, integration with existing HVAC system, humidity assessment and system sizing | homes in the Hill Country and San Antonio corridor where high indoor humidity makes a cooled space feel clammy or contributes to air quality issues | A whole-home dehumidifier pulls excess moisture out before it puts extra load on the air handler. It is one of the more impactful comfort upgrades for this climate. |
| Indoor Air Quality & Air Filtration | whole-home air purifier installation, filtration system upgrades, air scrubber and allergen reduction solutions | households dealing with dust, allergens, or air quality concerns, especially in older or tightly sealed homes | Results are something you feel every day. Cleaner indoor air reduces allergen load and supports the long-term performance of your HVAC equipment. |
| Heat Pump Installation | new heat pump system sizing and install, ductless mini-split options for additions or garages, startup testing for both heating and cooling modes | homeowners upgrading from a traditional split system or adding climate control to a space without existing ductwork | The mild winters and long cooling season in this part of Texas make heat pumps a strong fit. The system earns its keep on the cooling side and handles heating efficiently without heavy backup demands. |
| Thermostat & Smart-Control Installation | programmable and smart thermostat install, system communication diagnosis, controls upgrade for better efficiency | anyone looking to reduce energy use or gain better day-to-day control over their system | A thermostat that communicates poorly with the system can cause short-cycling and uneven temperatures. We diagnose and replace as needed. |
| Full System Installation & Replacement | proper load sizing for the space, new equipment selection and installation, startup testing and system verification | homeowners replacing an aging or failed system, or adding HVAC to a new addition or build | Correct sizing makes a measurable difference in comfort and long-term efficiency. We size to the home, not to what was there before. |
| Heating & Furnace Repair | gas furnace diagnosis and repair, no-heat emergency calls, system cycling and airflow problems | any home or building that has lost heat or is heating unevenly during a cold snap | Heating season in Comal County is short but sharp. Getting a furnace diagnosed quickly prevents a minor issue from becoming a full failure. |
| Emergency HVAC Service | same-day no-heat and no-cool calls, after-hours availability including weekends, priority dispatch for urgent system failures | any situation where a system has gone down and waiting is not a reasonable option | We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Call and we will give you an honest arrival estimate based on what is on the schedule. |
| Ductwork Repair & Sealing | duct inspection and leak testing, sealing and repair of leaking sections, duct replacement where needed | homes with uneven room temperatures, high energy bills, or reduced airflow from supply registers | Leaking ducts can send a significant share of conditioned air into attics and wall cavities. Sealing them is one of the more cost-effective efficiency upgrades available. |
| Heat Pump Repair & Service | refrigerant and controls diagnosis, mechanical component inspection, both heating and cooling modes tested | homes already running a heat pump that is underperforming in either heating or cooling mode | Heat pumps handle both seasons, so a problem in one mode often points to a shared component. We test the full system before we leave. |
| Furnace & AC System Replacement | full replacement of furnace or AC unit, matched system sizing and selection, installation and startup to code | homes where the furnace or AC has reached the end of its useful life or is no longer keeping up with demand | New Braunfels homes run their air conditioning hard from April through October. Years of sustained use add up, and replacement is often the smarter investment once a system passes a certain age and repair cost threshold. |
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups | full system cleaning and inspection, refrigerant check and electrical connections, airflow and component condition review | homeowners and property managers who want to avoid mid-season breakdowns and keep equipment running efficiently | Spring and fall are the natural times to schedule, catching the AC before summer and the furnace before the first cold snap of the year. |
How do I know if my AC or furnace needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
A few signs point toward replacement: the system is more than 12 to 15 years old, repair costs are approaching half the price of a new unit, or the equipment is struggling to maintain temperature even after recent service. We walk through the numbers with you honestly so you can make the call that makes financial sense for your situation.
Why has my system stopped heating or cooling even though it is running?
A system that runs but does not condition the air is usually dealing with a refrigerant issue, a dirty or frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or an airflow restriction. In heating mode, a cracked heat exchanger or a failed igniter can produce the same symptom. We run a full diagnostic before recommending any repair so you know exactly what is going on.
How often should I schedule a maintenance tune-up?
Twice a year is the standard: once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before the first cold stretch. In South-Central Texas, the cooling season is long and demanding, so the spring tune-up is especially important for catching anything that could become a breakdown in July.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We quote the repair before we start the work. You know the price before anything is touched, and there are no additional charges added after the fact.
Is HVAC installation and replacement work permitted and inspected?
Yes. We complete installations to code and handle the permit process on jobs that require it. Code-compliant work protects your home, your warranty, and your ability to sell the property later without surprises.
Why is one room in my home always hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures usually come from one of three sources: duct leaks or restrictions sending less air to certain rooms, an undersized or improperly balanced system, or a thermostat placement issue. We inspect the ductwork and the system to find where the imbalance is coming from rather than guessing.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
We clean the system, inspect all major components, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, evaluate airflow, and look for anything that could become a problem before it does. The goal is to catch small issues while they are still small and confirm the system is ready to handle the season ahead.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
For urgent no-heat and no-cool calls, we offer same-day service when the schedule allows and are available every day through 11:00 PM, including weekends.
Should I try to fix an HVAC problem myself before calling a technician?
Replacing a filter, clearing debris from around the outdoor unit, and resetting a tripped breaker are reasonable first steps. Beyond that, HVAC systems involve refrigerant, high-voltage components, and gas connections that require trained technicians. Attempting repairs on those systems without the right tools and training can make the problem worse and create safety risks.
How does your pricing work, and when will I know what I owe?
We give you a clear price before any work begins. The technician runs a full diagnostic, explains what was found, and quotes the repair before touching anything. There are no surprises when the job is done. Payment is collected at the time of service once the work is complete.
Code-Compliant Work on Every Job
Every installation and replacement we complete meets local code requirements. We handle the permit process on jobs that require it so the work is documented and protected.
Do I need to be home when the technician arrives?
For most service calls, yes. The technician needs access to the indoor air handler, the outdoor unit, and the thermostat, and we walk you through the findings before starting any repair. For rental properties, we can coordinate directly with a tenant for access and communicate findings and pricing to the property owner separately.
What do strange noises from my HVAC unit usually mean?
Banging or clanking often points to a loose or failing mechanical component. Squealing can indicate a worn belt or bearing. Clicking that does not stop is sometimes a relay or control issue. Hissing near the indoor unit can suggest a refrigerant leak. None of these should be ignored. We diagnose the source before recommending a fix.
How long does a full system replacement typically take?
Most residential replacements are completed in a single day. A straightforward swap of an existing system usually runs four to six hours. More involved jobs, such as adding ductwork or installing a new system in a space that did not have one, may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline when we schedule the installation.
