Most common AC repairs in San Antonio range from $200 to $800, depending on the issue. Simple problems like replacing a capacitor or cleaning coils cost less, while major component repairs like compressor issues cost more. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
During San Antonio’s extreme heat, your AC may struggle with what’s called the “20-degree differential.” When it’s 101°F outside and you want 76°F inside, your system works overtime. Check your air filter first – a dirty filter restricts airflow. If that’s clean, you might have low refrigerant, dirty coils, or your system may be undersized for the heat load.
In San Antonio’s climate, change your filter every 30-60 days during peak summer months. If you have pets or allergies, change it every 20-30 days. During those brutal 100°F+ stretches, your system runs constantly, pulling more dust and debris through the filter. A clean filter keeps your system efficient and your energy bills lower.
Proper sizing requires a professional load calculation – not just square footage. In San Antonio’s climate, factors like insulation, windows, ceiling height, and sun exposure all matter. An undersized unit won’t keep up with the heat, while an oversized unit wastes energy and doesn’t control humidity properly. We perform detailed assessments to get it right.
If your system is over 10 years old and repair costs exceed 50% of replacement value, replacement usually makes sense. Also consider that newer systems are much more efficient – potentially cutting your summer energy bills significantly. With San Antonio’s energy costs averaging $706 per summer, efficiency improvements pay for themselves quickly.
San Antonio summers are brutal on energy bills. Air conditioning can account for nearly half your electric bill, and CPS Energy adds peak capacity charges from June through September. When temperatures hit triple digits for weeks, your AC runs almost continuously. Regular maintenance, proper insulation, and an efficient system help control costs.
