Replacing a part is the easy half of any HVAC job. The useful half is understanding what caused the part to fail, because a capacitor that burns out on a five-year-old system is telling you something different from one that burns out on a fifteen-year-old unit running through its third Texas summer in a row. We work through that question on every call, and the answer shapes what we recommend before anything is ordered or scheduled.
Wimberley is a town where a lot of the housing stock has been in place long enough for original equipment to be at or past the point of that conversation. Older homes, room additions that were never quite connected to the main system, and equipment that has not had a proper look in years are all common calls. We handle the full range, from a targeted repair to a complete system replacement, for homeowners and rental properties alike.
When the technician arrives, the real work begins with the question behind the symptom. A system that trips its breaker repeatedly, an AC that cools for twenty minutes and then stops, a furnace that starts and shuts off before the house reaches temperature: each of those has a short list of likely causes, and working through that list is what the visit is for.
Short cycling, strange noises and weak airflow each point somewhere different.
A compressor that is drawing high amperage, a heat exchanger showing stress marks, a blower motor that is running warm: these are findings that change the repair-versus-replace conversation. We explain what the diagnostic turned up on every call, so you are not guessing at what to do next. No pressure and no gimmicks, just straight HVAC answers.
The cost of an HVAC call depends on what the fault turns out to be, what has to be reached to fix it, and whether a repair or a replacement is the better answer once the diagnostic is complete. A refrigerant leak in an accessible line set is a different scope from one inside an evaporator coil that has to be pulled. A thermostat swap is a different afternoon from a full air handler replacement. The rate is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled.
What would change a quote partway through: if the diagnostic turns up something beyond what was described on the phone, that gets explained before any additional work is done. Nothing moves forward without your agreement. The price is set out up front, the work is code-compliant, and you get straight explanations at every step.
Call (830) 632-8965.
We go through what the system is doing, what equipment is involved, and what the visit will cover. You get the rate on the phone before anything is booked. Ask what it covers and you get a direct answer.
There are spaces in a home that central ducting never properly served. A room addition built onto the back of a house, a converted garage, a detached structure used as a workspace or a guest room: these are the situations where a ductless mini-split makes practical sense. Running new ductwork to reach them is often more disruptive and more expensive than the alternative, and the result is still a duct run that was added as an afterthought.
A mini-split handles heating and cooling independently for that space, with its own controls and its own refrigerant circuit. In a town with older homes and varied additions, that flexibility comes up regularly. We handle installation, repair, and service on ductless systems, and the same diagnostic process applies: airflow balanced rather than left to chance, and the system sized for what the space actually needs.
When a rental property has an HVAC problem, the call usually comes from the owner or property manager rather than the tenant. We work with that setup directly: the scope and the price are confirmed with whoever is managing the property, access is arranged around the tenant's schedule, and the invoice goes where it needs to go.
A tenant who is without heat or cooling in the middle of a season cannot wait for a routine appointment. We take short-notice work, and emergency no-heat and no-cool calls are handled every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. If the tenant needs to be present or if access has to be coordinated, that gets sorted on the call before the visit is confirmed.
The process is the same as a standard residential call. The technician works through the diagnostic, explains what was found, and confirms any additional scope before moving forward. For a property manager overseeing more than one home, preventive maintenance is worth discussing: a seasonal tune-up that catches a failing capacitor or a dirty evaporator coil before the summer peak is a different conversation from an emergency call at the height of July.
When the system is down completely, the call is the first step. We take emergency calls every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM for no-heat and no-cool situations. A house in the region's summer heat without a working AC, or a home without heat when a cold front moves through, is not a situation that waits for a scheduled slot.
For businesses and properties that have to stay open, we work around operating hours. The scope and the access arrangements are confirmed on the call before the visit is set. We do not quote arrival windows, but emergency work is prioritized and short-notice appointments are something we take on regularly. Each service is described in more depth on the page listing our HVAC services.
Indoor air quality work connects to the HVAC system rather than sitting alongside it. A whole-home air filtration setup runs through the air handler, treating the air as it moves through the system rather than in one room. For homes where allergies, dust, or musty air are a recurring issue despite a working AC, this is often where the answer is. Humidity control ties into the same conversation: a whole-home dehumidifier integrates with the existing system and handles moisture independently of the cooling cycle, which matters in a humid regional climate.
A rooftop unit packages the components that a split system keeps separate, and when one fails, the diagnostic has to account for that configuration. Compressor issues, refrigerant leaks, and economizer faults all present differently on a packaged rooftop unit than on residential equipment. We handle commercial rooftop repair and replacement, and the quote process is the same: scope confirmed on the call, price set before the visit.
An air conditioner that is running but not bringing the temperature down is one of the more common summer calls. The cause could be a low refrigerant charge, a dirty evaporator coil restricting heat transfer, a failing compressor, or a condenser that is not rejecting heat properly. The diagnostic works through each of those in order. Evaporator coil cleaning comes up often here, because a coil that has accumulated enough buildup will reduce cooling capacity significantly before it causes any other obvious symptom.
When one part of a home stays warm while another cools down normally, the cause is usually in the ductwork, the airflow balance, or the way the system was originally sized. A duct leak that is losing conditioned air before it reaches the far end of the house, a supply register that is undersized for the room it serves, or a return that is not pulling enough air back through the system: these are the things the diagnostic looks for. Duct sealing and airflow correction are part of the work, not just equipment replacement.
A system that runs for hours without reaching the set temperature is working harder than it should and still falling short. That can mean a refrigerant charge that is off, a coil that needs cleaning, equipment that is undersized for the load, or a duct system that is losing too much conditioned air along the way. It can also mean the thermostat is reading incorrectly. The visit works through each of those possibilities before any recommendation is made, because the fix depends entirely on which one is actually causing the problem.
We serve Wimberley and the surrounding Hays County area, including Woodcreek, Driftwood, San Marcos, Kyle, and Mountain City. If your address is nearby and you are not sure whether it falls within the service area, a quick call will confirm it.
Coverage means we take the call, scope the job on the phone, and send someone out. There is no separate process for addresses outside Wimberley proper.
Yes, through a ductless mini-split system. A multi-zone mini-split installation uses individual air handlers in each room or area, connected to one or more outdoor units by refrigerant lines, with no ductwork required. It is a practical solution for older construction, converted spaces, and additions.
Yes. We cover Wimberley and the surrounding area, including Woodcreek, Driftwood, San Marcos, Kyle, and Mountain City.
If you are unsure whether your address is within the service area, call (830) 632-8965 and we will confirm it on the call before anything is scheduled.
Duct problems are identified through a combination of airflow measurement at the registers, visual inspection of accessible sections, and in some cases pressure testing. A significant pressure drop between the air handler and the supply registers points to a leak or a restriction somewhere in the run.
The more specific you can be, the more useful the phone conversation is. Tell us what the system is doing, what it was doing before the problem started, and whether it is running at all or completely unresponsive. The make and approximate age of the equipment helps too, if you have it. That information lets us scope the likely causes on the phone and confirm the price before the visit is set.
Older homes in a town this size tend to share a few patterns: equipment that has not been serviced in years, additions that were never properly connected to the main duct system, and systems that have been repaired repeatedly rather than replaced. The most common calls involve units that are no longer cooling or heating efficiently, ductwork that is leaking conditioned air before it reaches certain rooms, and blower components that are showing wear. The diagnostic on the first visit is where those specifics get sorted out.
When a system is showing its age or failing in ways that keep coming back, the question worth asking on the phone is whether a repair makes sense or whether the better answer is a replacement. That is not a question this page can answer for your specific equipment. It is a question we can answer once we know what the system is, what it is doing, and what the diagnostic turns up.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| AC Repair & Service | Refrigerant charge checkEvaporator and condenser coil inspectionCapacitor and contactor testingAirflow diagnosis | Homeowners and property managers dealing with warm air, short cycling, or a unit that runs but does not cool | In a south-central Texas summer, a system running hard on a low refrigerant charge puts extra strain on the compressor. Catching it early matters. |
