Your air conditioner quits during a Texas heatwave. Indoor temps climb past 85 degrees within an hour. You’ve got kids, elderly parents, or just a full day ahead that doesn’t include sweating through your shirt while waiting three days for a callback.
That’s not how this works. You call, we answer—actually answer, not an answering service. A certified technician is dispatched to your Alamo Heights home, usually within hours, often the same day.
Most emergency air conditioner repair calls get resolved on the first visit. We stock the parts that fail most often in Texas heat. Capacitors, contactors, compressor issues—we’ve seen it all, and we come prepared. You’re not waiting on an order or a second appointment unless it’s something truly unusual.
No surprise fees for calling after 5 p.m. or on weekends. The price we quote is the price you pay. Your system gets diagnosed with real equipment, not guesswork. Then it gets fixed, tested, and you get an explanation of what failed and why.
Texas Air Repair has been handling urgent AC repair in Alamo Heights and across San Antonio for over 20 years. We’re veteran-owned, which means we show up when we say we will and we don’t cut corners.
Alamo Heights homes weren’t built for 100-degree summers without air conditioning. Your neighborhood has some of the highest property values in San Antonio, and your HVAC system works harder here than in most places. We know the systems in these homes—many original installs, some newer high-efficiency units—and we know what breaks when they’re pushed to their limit.
Every technician is licensed, insured, and trained to handle both residential and light commercial systems. We’ve worked in this area long enough to understand what matters to you: speed, transparency, and a repair that actually lasts.
You reach out—phone, text, online form, whatever works for you. If it’s an emergency, we treat it like one. You’ll talk to someone who can actually dispatch a tech, not a call center reading a script.
We give you an arrival window, usually within a few hours. If it’s the middle of the night or a holiday weekend, we’re still coming. Our trucks carry diagnostic tools and the most common failure parts for systems in this climate.
The technician arrives, runs a full system check, and identifies the problem. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong, what it’ll take to fix it, and what it costs—before any work starts. No upselling, no scare tactics.
Once you approve, the repair happens. Most jobs finish in under two hours. The system gets tested under load to make sure it’s actually cooling properly, not just running. You get a receipt, a warranty on the work, and a follow-up call if needed.

An emergency service call includes full system diagnostics, not just a guess at what’s broken. We test voltage, amperage, refrigerant pressures, airflow, and control boards. If your compressor is locked up or your evaporator coil is frozen solid, we’ll know why.
Common emergency repairs we handle the same day: failed capacitors, burnt contactors, tripped breakers that won’t reset, refrigerant leaks, blower motor failures, and thermostat malfunctions. If your system is short-cycling or not turning on at all, that’s usually a same-visit fix.
Alamo Heights sees some of the longest cooling seasons in Texas—your AC runs from April through October, sometimes longer. That’s over 2,200 hours of operation per year, which is why systems here fail more often than the national average. When temps hit 105 degrees and your unit has been running nonstop for days, something’s going to give.
We also handle after-hours calls for commercial properties—restaurants, offices, retail spaces. If your business depends on climate control, we’ll get you back online fast. Same transparent pricing, same level of service, whether it’s your home or your storefront.
Most emergency calls in Alamo Heights get a same-day response, often within two to four hours depending on current demand. If you call at 2 a.m. on a Saturday, we’re still coming—usually within a few hours, not the next business day.
We keep multiple trucks in the San Antonio area, and Alamo Heights is central to our service zone. During peak summer months when call volume spikes, we prioritize homes with complete system failures, especially if there are young children, elderly residents, or medical conditions involved.
If we’re running behind or fully booked, we’ll tell you upfront and give you an honest timeframe. We don’t make promises we can’t keep. But in over 20 years of service, we’ve maintained a same-day resolution rate above 80% for emergency calls, even during the worst heatwaves.
No. Our pricing stays consistent whether you call at noon on a Tuesday or midnight on Sunday. You’re already dealing with a broken AC in Texas heat—we’re not going to double the bill because of when it happened.
Some companies add $150 to $300 in “emergency fees” or “after-hours surcharges.” We don’t. The diagnostic fee is the same, and labor rates don’t change based on the clock. If the repair costs $400 at 3 p.m., it costs $400 at 3 a.m.
What you will pay for is the actual repair—parts and labor. We give you the full cost before we start work. If you approve it, that’s the final number. No surprise line items when we hand you the invoice.
It’s rare, but it happens. If your compressor is completely shot or you need a custom part that’s not in stock, we’ll tell you immediately. We’ll also tell you what we can do in the meantime—whether that’s a temporary fix to get you some cooling or a referral for a portable unit if the repair will take days.
For most emergency calls, the issue is something we can resolve on the spot. Capacitors, contactors, and blower motors are in every truck. Refrigerant leaks can usually be sealed and recharged the same visit. Control board failures might take a day or two if it’s an older or uncommon model.
If a same-day fix isn’t possible, we’ll give you a realistic timeline and keep you updated. We’ll also prioritize your follow-up appointment so you’re not stuck waiting a week in the heat. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we leave your property.
If we fix it right, no. But if your system is old, undersized, or hasn’t been maintained in years, you might see other components fail down the road. We’ll tell you if that’s the case.
Every repair comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. If the same component fails within the warranty period, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost. We’re not interested in repeat service calls for the same problem—that’s a waste of your time and ours.
During the repair, if we notice other issues that could cause future breakdowns, we’ll point them out. Low refrigerant levels, corroded wiring, or a compressor that’s pulling too many amps—those are things you should know about. But we won’t push you into unnecessary replacements. You’ll get the facts, and you decide what makes sense for your budget and your system’s age.
Yes. That’s one of the most common emergency calls we get in Alamo Heights, especially during sustained 100-degree days. Your system is running, the air is moving, but it’s not actually cold.
Usually, that points to a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or a frozen evaporator coil. Sometimes it’s a clogged filter or blocked condenser coils outside, which are easier fixes. We’ll run a full diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause.
If it’s a refrigerant issue, we’ll locate the leak, seal it, and recharge the system. If your coil is frozen, we’ll identify why—could be airflow restriction, a bad blower motor, or a refrigerant problem. Once we know the root cause, we fix it and test the system under load to make sure it’s actually cooling before we leave. You’re not paying for a repair that doesn’t solve the problem.
Yes. We work on every major residential and light commercial brand—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, York, and more. Whether it’s a central air system, a heat pump, or a ductless mini-split, we’ve got the training and tools to handle it.
Alamo Heights has a mix of older homes with original HVAC installs and newer builds with high-efficiency systems. We’ve worked on both. Some homes still have R-22 refrigerant systems that are being phased out, others have newer R-410A units. We carry parts and refrigerant for both.
If you’ve got a commercial property with a rooftop package unit or a multi-zone system, we handle those too. Our techs are certified to work on systems up to 5 tons for residential and larger commercial units. If it cools air and it’s broken, we can fix it.
