Your energy bill shouldn’t climb every summer just because your AC is getting older. When you replace an aging system with a properly sized, high-efficiency unit, you’re looking at 25-35% savings on cooling costs—month after month. That’s not marketing talk. That’s what happens when you move from a 10 SEER system to a 16 SEER2 unit designed for South Texas conditions.
You’ll also stop dealing with rooms that never cool down, humidity that makes everything feel sticky, and that constant worry about whether your system will make it through another 105-degree day. A new AC system means even temperatures in every room, better airflow, and the kind of reliability that lets you stop thinking about your HVAC.
We size systems based on your home’s actual needs—not what’s easiest to install or what’s sitting on the truck. That means no short-cycling, no constant running, and no wasted energy. Just consistent comfort and lower monthly costs.
We’ve been keeping families in China Grove and the greater San Antonio area comfortable for over 20 years. Texas Air Repair is veteran-owned, locally operated, and built on the idea that HVAC work should be straightforward—no hidden fees, no overselling, no surprises when the bill comes.
Our technicians are certified, licensed, and insured. They’ve seen every type of system failure Texas heat can cause, and they know how to size and install equipment that actually works in this climate. When you call us, you’re getting someone who understands that AC replacement isn’t just about swapping equipment—it’s about making sure your home stays livable when it’s 100 degrees outside for weeks at a time.
We serve China Grove because we know what it’s like to live here. The heat doesn’t let up, and your AC can’t either.
First, we come out and assess your home—not just your old system. We measure square footage, check insulation, evaluate ductwork, and calculate the actual cooling load your home needs. This step matters because an incorrectly sized system will cost you money and comfort, no matter how efficient the unit is.
Once we know what your home requires, we walk you through your options. We’ll explain the difference between SEER ratings, show you what rebates and tax credits you qualify for, and give you a clear, upfront price that includes everything—equipment, removal of your old system, installation, electrical work, permits, and testing. No add-ons later.
Installation usually happens the same day. We remove your old unit, install the new system, connect it properly to your existing ductwork and electrical, test airflow and refrigerant levels, and make sure everything runs the way it should. Before we leave, we register your warranty and show you how to maintain your new system. You’re not waiting days in the heat—we get it done fast because we know you need it working now.

Every AC replacement includes complete removal of your old system, professional installation of your new equipment, all necessary electrical connections, ductwork adjustments if needed, permit handling, final inspection, warranty registration, and full system testing under load. You’re not paying extra for any of that—it’s part of the job.
In China Grove and across Bexar County, your AC runs harder than systems in most of the country. We’re talking 12-18 hours a day in summer, compared to 6-10 hours in cooler climates. That’s why we only install systems rated for extended runtime and high ambient temperatures. Your new system will include a manufacturer warranty covering parts and compressors for 5-10 years, plus our labor warranty on the installation work itself.
We also make sure you’re taking advantage of available rebates. Right now, homeowners in Texas can qualify for utility rebates ranging from $400 to $1,000 depending on the system efficiency, plus federal tax credits up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps. We’ll walk you through what applies to your situation so you’re not leaving money on the table. These incentives can cut your upfront cost significantly and shorten your payback period to 7-10 years based on energy savings alone.
AC replacement in China Grove typically runs between $5,000 and $14,000 depending on the size of your home, the efficiency level you choose, and any ductwork or electrical upgrades needed. A standard 3-ton system for a 1,500-square-foot home usually falls in the $6,000-$9,000 range. Larger homes or higher-efficiency systems with variable-speed technology will cost more upfront but save you more on monthly energy bills.
The price includes everything—equipment, removal of your old unit, installation, electrical connections, permits, inspections, and warranty registration. We give you the full number before we start so there’s no confusion later. If you qualify for utility rebates or federal tax credits, we’ll factor those in and show you what your actual out-of-pocket cost will be. Financing is available if you’d rather spread the cost out over time instead of paying it all at once.
Most AC replacements in China Grove are completed the same day, usually within 4-6 hours depending on the complexity of the installation. If your ductwork needs modifications or if we’re upgrading your electrical panel to handle the new system, it might take a bit longer—but we’ll tell you that upfront during the estimate.
We know that waiting days without AC in Texas isn’t realistic. That’s why we schedule installations quickly and bring everything we need to finish the job in one visit. Our technicians arrive with the equipment, tools, and materials required to remove your old system, install the new one, connect it properly, test it under load, and make sure it’s running correctly before we leave. You’re not sitting in the heat waiting for a second trip or a part to arrive. We get it done so you can get back to normal life.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and how much heat your home gains during the day. A general rule is about one ton of cooling for every 500-600 square feet, but that’s just a starting point. In Texas, where your AC runs longer and harder than most places, proper sizing is critical.
An oversized system will cool your home quickly but shut off before it removes enough humidity, leaving you with that clammy, uncomfortable feeling even when the temperature is right. It’ll also cycle on and off constantly, which wears out components faster and wastes energy. An undersized system will run nonstop trying to keep up and never quite get there, driving up your energy bill and burning itself out early. We do a full load calculation during the estimate to figure out exactly what your home needs—not what’s easiest to install or what we have in stock. That’s how you get a system that actually works the way it should.
If your system is over 10 years old and the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, replacement usually makes more sense. Texas heat is brutal on AC units, and older systems lose efficiency every year they run. If you’re calling for repairs more than twice a year, or if your energy bills keep climbing despite regular maintenance, you’re throwing money at a system that’s only going to keep costing you more.
Newer systems are significantly more efficient than units installed even 10 years ago. Moving from a 10 SEER system to a 16 SEER2 unit can cut your cooling costs by 25-35%, which adds up fast when your AC is running 12-18 hours a day all summer. You’ll also get better humidity control, more even temperatures, and the peace of mind that comes with a new warranty. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes sense for your situation—we’re not here to sell you something you don’t need, but we’re also not going to tell you to keep dumping money into a system that’s on its last legs.
Texas homeowners can qualify for utility rebates ranging from $400 to $1,000 depending on the efficiency of the system you install. If you’re served by Oncor or another major utility, high-efficiency systems rated SEER 16 or higher typically qualify. On top of that, the federal government offers tax credits up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump systems, which you can claim when you file your taxes.
These incentives stack, meaning you can use both the utility rebate and the federal tax credit on the same installation. That can bring your total savings to $3,000-$5,000 depending on the system you choose. We’ll walk you through what’s available based on your specific situation and help you with the paperwork so you actually get the money back. A lot of homeowners don’t realize these programs exist or assume they’re too complicated to bother with—but they’re not, and they can significantly reduce your upfront cost while shortening your payback period to 7-10 years based on energy savings alone.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service because we know AC failures don’t wait for business hours, especially in Texas. If your system dies in the middle of a heat wave and repair isn’t an option, we can often get a replacement installed the same day or within 24 hours depending on equipment availability and your schedule.
Emergency replacements follow the same process as scheduled ones—we assess your home, size the system correctly, give you a clear price, and complete the installation properly. We’re not cutting corners just because it’s urgent. The difference is we prioritize your job and move quickly to get you back up and running. If you’re dealing with a failed system and need it replaced fast, call us. We’ll get someone out to assess the situation and give you a realistic timeline for getting your home comfortable again.
