When a system stops working, the first question is usually how quickly it can be fixed, and the second is what it will cost. Those are fair questions, and they get answered on the call before anything is scheduled. We handle heating and cooling across Bulverde and the surrounding area, from a furnace that won't ignite on a cold morning to an AC that's running but not pulling the temperature down. Homes of all ages, rental properties, and small commercial buildings are all part of the work we take on here.
Bulverde is a town where a lot of the housing stock was built in phases, and additions and detached structures are common. That means ductwork that doesn't always reach the way it should, systems that were sized for an original footprint and never updated, and equipment that's been running hard without a real look in years.
Call (830) 632-8965 to talk through what's happening and get a quote before anything is put on the schedule.
The price for an HVAC job is shaped by three things: what the fault turns out to be, what has to be reached to fix it, and whether a repair is the right answer or whether a replacement makes more sense. A refrigerant leak on a newer system is a different conversation from the same symptom on equipment that's been running for over a decade. The diagnosis explained on every call means you know which situation you're in before a technician is dispatched.
What changes a quote: the type and age of the equipment, whether parts are standard or have to be ordered, how accessible the air handler or furnace is, and whether the job is a single repair or part of a larger system issue. Labor and parts are both part of the total, and the scope is confirmed before anything is booked.
Ask what the visit covers and you get a straight answer. The rate is set on the call, not after the work is done.
A furnace that starts and then shuts off, or one that cycles through the startup sequence and never produces heat, is usually pointing at an ignition component or a flame sensor that's too dirty to read the burner correctly. These are among the more common furnace calls in the region, and they're worth diagnosing before assuming the heat exchanger or the control board is involved. The repair is often straightforward once the cause is confirmed.
The air handler is where a lot of problems show up as airflow complaints. A blower motor that's drawing too much current, a wheel that's accumulated enough dust to throw itself out of balance, or a capacitor that's reading low will all reduce the air moving through the system before anything else fails. When rooms feel stuffy or the system runs longer than it used to, the air handler is usually where the diagnostic starts.
When one part of the house is comfortable and another is not, the cause is almost always in the distribution side of the system rather than the equipment itself. Duct leaks, undersized supply runs, and dampers that have never been set correctly are the usual culprits. Airflow balanced rather than left to chance means working through the duct system rather than turning up the thermostat and hoping the problem evens out.
A cracked heat exchanger is not a repair, it's a replacement conversation, and it's one of the few furnace faults that carries a safety implication beyond comfort. The inspection involves checking for cracks, corrosion, and signs of combustion gas crossing into the supply air. If the exchanger is sound, that gets confirmed and documented. If it's not, the options are laid out plainly.
The region's mild winters make heat pumps a practical choice for homes that want a single system handling both heating and cooling. Installation involves sizing the unit for the actual load in the space, not just matching the tonnage of whatever came out. For homes without existing ductwork, ductless mini-split systems are a clean solution that avoids the cost and disruption of running new ducts. Nothing gets replaced before you know why, and the case for a heat pump over a furnace-and-AC pairing gets explained on the call.
When a room is added to a home, the existing duct system rarely accounts for the new square footage. The result is a space that the HVAC system can't quite reach, or one that pulls conditioned air away from the rest of the house to compensate. Designing ductwork for an addition means calculating the load for the new space, sizing the supply and return runs correctly, and tying into the existing system at a point that won't compromise the rest of the house. If you would rather read than call, the HVAC services page has the detail.
A retail space, a medical office, or a restaurant that loses cooling in the middle of the week doesn't have the option of waiting until the weekend. We handle commercial HVAC repair and service for small and mid-size properties in Bulverde, and the approach accounts for the fact that some work has to happen around operating hours.
When a full system replacement or a significant ductwork job would disrupt business during the day, we talk through what can be done in stages and what the schedule allows. The scope and the sequence are confirmed before anything starts, so there are no interruptions that weren't planned for.
Commercial spaces with multiple zones, or homes where different areas need independent temperature control, benefit from zoning systems that let each space be managed separately. Thermostat and smart-control installation is part of that work, whether it's a straightforward programmable upgrade or a multi-zone setup for a building with distinct occupancy patterns.
We're available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, including weekends. When a system is completely down, whether it's no heat in January or no cooling in the middle of summer, that gets treated as an emergency call. The scope is confirmed on the phone before a visit is scheduled, and short-notice work is something we take on regularly.
For properties with tenants, we work around occupancy where the schedule allows. The goal is to get the system running without requiring the space to be empty for longer than the job takes.
Plain questions. Honest diagnosis. Clear options.

A maintenance visit is not a filter swap and a visual check. When the technician arrives, the real work begins: refrigerant charge is measured, not estimated, the evaporator coil is inspected for fouling, blower performance is checked against what the system should be moving, and the thermostat is tested through both heating and cooling modes. Capacitor readings, electrical connections at the unit, and the condition of the condenser coil are all part of the visit.
Running a tune-up before the cooling season means the AC goes into the summer with a confirmed refrigerant charge and clean coils. Running one before heating season means the furnace or heat pump has been checked before the first cold front. Either way, the system gets a real look rather than a quick pass.
No pressure and no gimmicks, just straight HVAC answers about what the system needs and what it doesn't.
We cover Bulverde and the surrounding area across Comal County, including Timberwood Park, Spring Branch, Canyon Lake, Fair Oaks Ranch, and Hollywood Park. Calls about any of these areas are answered by someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone.
Whether the property is in Bulverde proper or in one of the communities nearby, the process is the same: confirm the scope on the call, set the price before the visit, and get the work done. Coverage across the area means a call from Spring Branch or Canyon Lake gets the same response as one from Bulverde itself.
When the system is running but not pulling the temperature down, the most common causes are a low refrigerant charge, a fouled evaporator coil, or an airflow restriction somewhere in the duct system. Running the system harder while it's in that condition can put additional stress on the compressor.
Call (830) 632-8965 and describe what the system is doing, and we can scope the likely causes on the phone before scheduling a visit.
Additions that were built after the original HVAC system was installed often end up underserved by the existing ductwork, because the supply and return runs were never extended or resized to account for the new square footage. The result is a room that stays hot in summer or cold in winter regardless of what the thermostat is set to. We diagnose the distribution side of the system first, because the fix is usually in the ducts rather than the equipment.
A ductless mini-split is often the most practical solution for a detached garage, workshop, or guest space, because it doesn't require running ductwork from the main system. Each indoor unit connects to an outdoor unit through a refrigerant line set, and the system handles both heating and cooling independently. The call covers what size and configuration makes sense for the space before anything is quoted.
Sometimes. If the existing ductwork is in good condition, properly sized for the new equipment, and not leaking significantly, it can be reused. If it is undersized, damaged, or heavily leaking, replacing or sealing it is part of getting the new system to perform correctly. We assess the duct condition as part of the replacement conversation.
Ask when you call and we will confirm what is available for your situation. For property managers handling multiple addresses, keeping the paperwork organized is something we can work through with you.
The systems that cause the most disruption are the ones that fail during peak season, when demand for service is highest and the house is least able to tolerate the wait. Scheduling a tune-up or a diagnostic in the shoulder season, before the heat arrives or before the first cold snap, puts the system in the best position to handle what's coming.
Call (830) 632-8965 and reach New Braunfels HVAC Company to book planned maintenance or to get a quote on a repair.
We're available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. A call made now is easier than one made when the system has already stopped.

|---|---|---|---|
| Full System Installation & ReplacementMost Popular | Load calculation and proper sizingMatched condenser, air handler, and coilRefrigerant line and electrical connectionsSystem testing and airflow verification | Homeowners whose system is aging, requiring repeated repairs, or no longer keeping up with the cooling load | Replacing components from the same equipment generation keeps efficiency ratings accurate and avoids compatibility problems that come from mixing old and new hardware. |
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups | Cooling or heating system inspectionCoil cleaning and refrigerant checkBlower and electrical component testingFilter check and airflow assessment | Homeowners who want to catch problems before a season starts rather than during it | Spring is the right window for a cooling tune-up before the long Texas summer. Early fall works for heating. Both windows are before demand for service peaks. |
| Ductwork Repair & Sealing | Static pressure and airflow testingDuct leak identificationSealing and connection repairRegister and grille assessment | Homes with uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or rooms that never reach the set temperature | Duct leaks in attic spaces are common in older Comal County housing stock. Conditioned air lost to an unconditioned attic adds directly to cooling costs through the summer. |
