When your AC stops working in Texas heat, every hour counts. Your indoor temperature climbs fast—95 degrees outside means 85+ inside within an hour or two. If you’ve got kids, elderly family members, or anyone with health conditions at home, that’s not just uncomfortable. It’s dangerous.
You need someone who picks up the phone, gives you a straight answer about timing and cost, and shows up with the parts to fix it. Most repairs get handled same-day because our trucks stock the components that fail most often in Shavano Park’s climate—capacitors, contactors, refrigerant for the brands installed in your neighborhood.
We’ve been doing residential AC repair in San Antonio for over 20 years. We know what breaks in triple-digit heat. We know the oak and cedar debris that clogs your outdoor unit. We know you’re calling because you’re hot, frustrated, and need it fixed right—not tomorrow, not with a four-hour window that turns into eight.
Texas Air Repair is a veteran-owned HVAC company that’s been serving San Antonio, Houston, and Austin since 2003. We’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center routing you to whoever’s available. We’re a team of certified technicians who live and work in the same heat you do.
Every technician is licensed, insured, and trained on all major brands—Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York. We’ve seen what happens to systems in Shavano Park’s dense canopy areas where outdoor units work twice as hard. We’ve repaired units in estates with complex zoning and high-tonnage demands.
You’re not getting a sales pitch when you call. You’re getting a diagnostic, a price, and a repair. If we can’t fix it same-day, we’ll tell you why and what your options are. That’s how we’ve stayed in business for two decades.
You call or submit a request. We ask a few questions about what’s happening—no cooling, strange noises, system won’t turn on. If it’s an emergency, we prioritize it. Most calls in Shavano Park get a 2-4 hour response window.
A licensed technician arrives in a fully stocked truck. They run a full diagnostic on your system—checking electrical components, refrigerant levels, airflow, and the outdoor unit. They’ll tell you what failed, why it failed, and what it costs to fix before any work starts. No surprise fees. No after-hours surcharges.
If you approve the repair, they fix it on the spot in most cases. If it’s a part we don’t have on the truck, we’ll get it and schedule a return visit—but that’s rare. Once it’s running, they’ll test the system to make sure temps are dropping and airflow is even. You get a receipt, a warranty on the work, and a recommendation on whether your system needs maintenance to prevent this from happening again.

We handle everything from blown capacitors and failed compressors to refrigerant leaks and electrical issues. If your thermostat isn’t communicating with your system, if your outdoor unit isn’t spinning, if your vents are blowing warm air—we’ve fixed it before, probably a hundred times in Shavano Park alone.
Pricing is upfront. You’ll know the cost before we start. Labor, parts, and warranty are included in the quote. We don’t tack on fees after the fact. If you need emergency service at 9 PM on a Saturday, the price is the same as it would be on a Tuesday afternoon.
Shavano Park homes often have high-end systems with multi-zone setups. We work on those regularly. If one zone isn’t cooling or your upstairs is 10 degrees warmer than downstairs, that’s usually a damper issue, a duct leak, or a refrigerant imbalance. We’ll find it and fix it. We also handle indoor air quality solutions if your system is working but your air feels stale or humid—that’s common in homes surrounded by heavy tree cover.
Most emergency calls in Shavano Park get a 2-4 hour response time. If you call in the morning, we’re usually there by early afternoon. If you call in the evening, we’ll have someone out that night or first thing the next morning depending on the volume of calls.
We keep technicians on standby during peak heat months—June through September—because that’s when systems fail most often. If your AC is out and it’s over 95 degrees, we treat it as a priority. We’re not going to leave you without air conditioning overnight if we can help it.
If we’re swamped with calls during a heat wave, we’ll be honest about timing. But we’ll also walk you through temporary measures—closing blinds, running fans, staying hydrated—until we can get there.
Most residential AC repair in Shavano Park runs between $200 and $800 depending on what failed. A capacitor replacement is on the lower end. A compressor or evaporator coil replacement is on the higher end. Refrigerant leaks depend on how much refrigerant you need and whether the leak requires a line repair.
We’ll give you an exact price after diagnosing your system. That price includes labor, parts, and warranty. No hidden fees. No after-hours surcharges. If the repair costs more than half the value of your system, we’ll tell you and explain whether replacement makes more sense.
Some companies quote low to get in the door, then upsell once they’re there. We don’t do that. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Yes. We’re certified to service all major brands—Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Amana, Ruud, and others. We work on single-stage systems, two-stage systems, variable-speed systems, and heat pumps. If you have a high-efficiency unit or a smart thermostat system, we handle those too.
Shavano Park has a mix of older and newer systems. Some homes still run units from the early 2000s. Others have high-SEER systems installed in the last few years. We’ve worked on both. We stock parts for the most common systems in the area, which is why we can usually complete repairs same-day.
If you have a proprietary system or a brand we don’t typically service, we’ll let you know upfront. But that’s rare.
Heat and debris. Shavano Park sits under a dense canopy of oak and cedar trees. That’s great for shade, but it means your outdoor unit is constantly pulling in leaves, pollen, and dirt. When the condenser coils get clogged, your system works harder to cool your home. That extra strain wears out capacitors, contactors, and compressors faster than they’d fail in a cleaner environment.
The other issue is runtime. When it’s 100+ degrees for weeks straight, your AC runs almost nonstop. Systems that run 12-16 hours a day are going to wear out faster than systems that cycle on and off. That’s why we see more failures in July and August than any other time of year.
Regular maintenance helps. Cleaning coils, checking refrigerant, and replacing worn components before they fail can prevent a lot of emergency calls. But if you haven’t had maintenance in a year or two, don’t be surprised if something breaks during peak summer.
Yes. A lot of times, high energy bills are a symptom of an inefficient system. If your AC is low on refrigerant, it runs longer to reach the temperature you set. If your air filter is clogged, airflow drops and runtime increases. If your ductwork has leaks, you’re cooling your attic instead of your living room.
When we’re diagnosing your system, we’ll point out anything that’s costing you money. Sometimes it’s a simple fix—replacing a filter, sealing a duct joint, recalibrating a thermostat. Other times it’s a bigger issue like an undersized return or an aging compressor that’s lost efficiency.
Professional maintenance typically reduces energy bills by 10-15%. If your system is older or hasn’t been serviced in years, the savings can be even higher. We’ll walk you through what makes sense for your situation.
Yes. Every repair comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. The length depends on the part—most manufacturers warranty components for one to five years. Labor is typically covered for at least 90 days, sometimes longer depending on the repair.
If something we fixed fails again within the warranty period, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost. That doesn’t include normal wear and tear or damage from lack of maintenance, but it does cover defects and installation issues.
We also honor manufacturer warranties on newer systems. If your unit is still under warranty and a covered component fails, we’ll handle the claim and install the replacement part. You’ll only pay for labor in most cases.
