When your air conditioner stops working in Cibolo’s heat, every hour matters. Indoor temperatures climb past 90 degrees within the first few hours. By afternoon, your home can hit 110 or higher if the sun’s beating down on your roof.
You need someone who answers the phone, shows up when they say they will, and actually fixes the problem. Not someone who schedules you out three days or shows up just to tell you they need to order parts.
We complete most AC repairs in Cibolo on the first visit. Our trucks carry the parts that fail most often in Texas heat—capacitors, contactors, refrigerant, fan motors. We diagnose the issue, explain what’s wrong in plain terms, give you the price upfront, and get your system running again.
That means you’re back to a comfortable home today. Your family isn’t sweating through another night. Your pets aren’t panting in the heat. You’re not wondering if you should pack up and get a hotel room.
Texas Air Repair has been handling residential AC repair in Cibolo and across the San Antonio area since the late 90s. We’re veteran-owned, family-operated, and we’ve seen every type of system failure this climate can cause.
Cibolo’s growth over the past decade brought thousands of new homes—and thousands of new AC systems that weren’t built for how brutal Texas summers have become. We work on all brands and models, from the Carrier unit installed in 2005 to the new Trane system you put in last year.
Our technicians are licensed, EPA-certified, and trained to handle the specific challenges of cooling homes in Guadalupe County. We know what happens to systems when they run six months straight. We know which parts fail first when temperatures stay above 100 for weeks. And we know how to fix it right so you’re not calling us back in two days.
You call or message us, and we get you scheduled—often same-day if you reach out early enough. If it’s an emergency and your system is completely down during a heat wave, we prioritize those calls because we know what happens when homes lose cooling in July or August.
Our technician arrives in a fully stocked truck. They’ll inspect your system, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, examine the compressor and condenser, and look at airflow. Most problems show up quickly when you know what to look for.
Once we’ve identified the issue, we explain what’s wrong, what needs to happen to fix it, and what it costs. No surprises. No upselling. If your system can be repaired, we’ll tell you. If it’s on its last leg and you’re better off replacing it, we’ll tell you that too.
Then we make the repair. Most jobs are done in under two hours. We test the system to make sure it’s cooling properly, check that airflow is where it should be, and make sure you’re comfortable with how everything’s running before we leave.
Ready to get started?
Every air conditioning repair in Cibolo starts with a full system diagnostic. We’re not just fixing the obvious problem—we’re checking for underlying issues that could cause another breakdown next week.
That includes testing your thermostat, inspecting ductwork for leaks, checking refrigerant levels and looking for leaks, examining electrical connections, testing capacitors and contactors, inspecting the compressor and condenser coils, and verifying that airflow matches what your system should be producing. In Cibolo’s climate, low refrigerant is one of the most common issues we see. Your system runs constantly trying to reach the temperature you set, but it never gets there. That puts stress on every component and drives your energy bill through the roof.
We also see a lot of capacitor failures. Texas heat is brutal on electrical components, and capacitors tend to go out after a few years of heavy use. If your system isn’t turning on or the fan isn’t running, that’s often the culprit.
Clogged condensate drains are another frequent issue, especially during humid stretches. When that drain backs up, your system shuts down to prevent water damage. It’s a quick fix, but it’ll stop your AC dead until it’s cleared.
We handle all of it. And because we service all brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and everything else—you’re covered no matter what’s sitting outside your home.
Most air conditioning repairs in Cibolo run between $150 and $600, depending on what’s broken and what parts are needed. A simple fix like a capacitor replacement might cost $150 to $300. A refrigerant recharge typically runs $300 to $500. More involved repairs like a blower motor or compressor replacement can push toward $600 or higher.
The time of year matters too. If your system goes out on a weekend in July, you’re competing with dozens of other homes that also lost cooling. Demand is high, and emergency rates apply. If it breaks in May before the peak heat hits, you’ll usually pay standard rates.
We give you the price before we start any work. You’ll know exactly what the repair costs, and you can decide if it makes sense or if you’d rather put that money toward a new system.
Most HVAC repairs in Cibolo take one to three hours from start to finish. If it’s a straightforward issue like a bad capacitor, a clogged drain line, or a tripped breaker, we’re usually done in under an hour.
If we need to recharge refrigerant, that adds time because we have to locate the leak, repair it, then add refrigerant and test the system. That’s typically a two- to three-hour job. More complex repairs like replacing a blower motor or a condenser fan can take three hours or more, depending on the system and how accessible everything is.
The goal is always to finish the repair on the first visit. We carry the most common parts in our trucks so we’re not leaving to pick something up or telling you we’ll be back in two days when the part arrives. If we do need to order something, we’ll let you know upfront and get it scheduled as fast as possible.
Refrigerant leaks are at the top of the list. When refrigerant levels drop, your system can’t absorb heat effectively. It runs nonstop, never quite reaching the temperature you set, and your energy bill climbs. Texas heat accelerates wear on refrigerant lines, especially if your system is more than ten years old.
Capacitor failures are another big one. Capacitors help start your compressor and keep your fan motor running. They don’t last forever, and the constant heat stress shortens their lifespan. If your AC won’t turn on or the outdoor fan isn’t spinning, a bad capacitor is often why.
Dirty condenser coils cause a lot of problems too. Dust, cottonwood, and debris build up on the outdoor unit, blocking airflow and forcing your system to work harder. That leads to overheating and premature failure of other components. Clogged condensate drains are common during humid stretches, and a frozen evaporator coil usually means restricted airflow from a dirty filter or a refrigerant issue.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency AC repair in Cibolo for situations where your system has completely failed and the heat is becoming a safety issue. If it’s 105 outside and your home is climbing toward dangerous temperatures, that’s an emergency. If you have elderly family members, young kids, or pets in the house, we prioritize those calls.
Emergency service does come with higher rates because we’re pulling a technician off-hours or away from other scheduled jobs. But when your home is uninhabitable and waiting until tomorrow isn’t an option, we’ll get someone out to you.
For non-emergency repairs—like your system is running but not cooling as well as it should—we’ll get you on the schedule as soon as possible, usually same-day or next-day depending on when you call. Most repairs don’t require emergency rates, and we’ll let you know upfront what you’re looking at.
If your system is less than ten years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repairing usually makes sense. If your AC is over fifteen years old and you’re looking at a major repair like a compressor replacement, replacement is often the smarter move.
Here’s why: older systems are less efficient, so they cost more to run every month. If you’re repairing a 15-year-old unit, you’re likely going to face another expensive repair within a year or two. And if that system is struggling to keep up with Cibolo’s heat now, it’s only going to get worse.
We’ll walk you through the math. If repairing gets you another few years of reliable cooling and saves you money in the short term, we’ll tell you. If you’re throwing money at a system that’s on its way out, we’ll tell you that too. We’ve been doing this long enough to know the difference, and we’re not going to sell you something you don’t need.
Regular maintenance is the single best thing you can do. That means changing your air filter every 30 to 60 days during cooling season, keeping the area around your outdoor unit clear of debris and vegetation, and scheduling a professional tune-up before summer starts.
During a maintenance visit, we clean your condenser coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, inspect your ductwork for leaks, and catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Most breakdowns don’t happen out of nowhere—they’re the result of something that’s been wearing down for months.
In Cibolo’s climate, your AC runs harder and longer than systems in most other parts of the country. That means more wear, more strain, and more opportunities for something to fail. A system that gets regular maintenance will last longer, run more efficiently, and break down less often than one that’s ignored until it stops working. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the difference between a $150 tune-up in April and a $1,500 emergency repair in August.
