You’re not looking for a sales pitch. You need your heating system working again.
When your furnace stops in the middle of a cold snap, you’re dealing with more than discomfort. You’re worried about pipes freezing, elderly parents getting sick, or your kids bundled up inside their own home. That’s not a minor inconvenience—that’s a problem that needs solving right now.
We get it. You’ve got a large home with high ceilings and rooms that already run cold when everything’s working. When your heating goes out, those temperature swings get worse fast. One room might feel okay while another stays freezing, and you’re left guessing whether it’s the furnace, the thermostat, or something in your ductwork.
Our job is to figure out what’s actually broken, fix it the right way, and get your home back to normal. Most repairs happen same-day. We show up with the parts and tools to handle it on the first visit. No waiting around for callbacks or second appointments unless the problem genuinely requires it.
Texas Air Repair is veteran-owned and based right here in San Antonio. We’ve been handling residential heating repair in Hill Country Village, TX and across Bexar County since 2005.
We’re not new to Texas winters or the homes in your area. Hill Country Village has some of the largest custom-built properties in the region—homes with long duct runs, zoned systems, and layouts that make HVAC work more complicated than your average tract house. We’ve worked on enough of them to know what typically goes wrong and how to fix it without dragging things out.
Our techs are licensed, certified, and insured. We offer 24/7 emergency service because heating failures don’t wait for business hours. And we price our work upfront—no surprise fees, no inflated after-hours charges.
First, we listen. You tell us what’s going on—no heat, strange noises, uneven temps, whatever the issue is. We schedule a time that works for you, usually same-day or next-day depending on when you call.
When we arrive, we run a full diagnostic. That means checking your thermostat settings, inspecting the furnace itself, testing airflow, and looking at your ductwork if needed. We’re not just swapping parts and hoping it works. We find the root cause.
Once we know what’s wrong, we explain it in plain terms. No jargon, no upselling. We tell you what needs fixing, what it costs, and how long it’ll take. If you approve, we handle the repair right there. Most jobs get finished the same visit because our trucks carry the common parts for gas furnaces, heat pumps, and electric systems.
After the repair, we test everything to make sure your system’s running the way it should. You’ll know it’s fixed before we leave.

Every heating repair starts with a full system diagnostic. We check your furnace or heat pump, inspect the ignition system, test the blower motor, examine electrical connections, and verify your thermostat is communicating properly with the equipment.
If your home has a gas furnace—which most Hill Country Village homes do—we’ll inspect the burner assembly, heat exchanger, and gas valve. These components wear out over time, especially in systems that are 15+ years old. Given that the median home in your area was built in 1984, a lot of furnaces are running past their prime efficiency.
For heat pumps, we check refrigerant levels, reversing valves, and defrost controls. Texas winters are unpredictable, and heat pumps work harder during sudden cold snaps. If something’s off, it shows up fast.
We also look at your ductwork. Large homes with extended duct runs lose heat along the way, especially if there are leaks or poor insulation. That’s often why some rooms stay cold while others warm up fine. If we spot a ductwork issue contributing to your heating problem, we’ll let you know and give you options.
Most heating repairs fall between $150 and $600, depending on what’s broken. Simple fixes like a faulty thermostat or tripped breaker cost less. Replacing a blower motor or gas valve runs higher.
Emergency repairs outside normal business hours can cost more—typically $150 to $215 per hour for labor. But we don’t inflate prices just because it’s cold outside or you called at night. We charge what the job actually costs, and we tell you the price before we start.
If your furnace needs a major component replaced—like a heat exchanger or control board—you’re looking at $600 to $1,100 depending on the part and labor involved. At that point, we’ll also talk through whether repair makes sense or if replacement is the smarter move. We’re not going to sell you a new system if fixing the old one gets you another few years. But we’re also not going to let you sink money into a furnace that’s going to fail again in six months.
Most furnace repairs take one to three hours. If it’s something straightforward—a bad capacitor, dirty flame sensor, or clogged filter—we’re usually done in under an hour.
More involved repairs, like replacing a blower motor or fixing a cracked heat exchanger, take longer. Those jobs can run three to four hours depending on the system and how accessible everything is. Homes in Hill Country Village often have furnaces in attics or tight utility rooms, which can add time.
If we need to order a part that’s not on the truck, we’ll let you know upfront. That’s rare, but it happens with older or less common systems. In those cases, we’ll get the part as fast as possible—usually next-day—and come back to finish the job. We’re not going to leave you without heat any longer than necessary.
Uneven heating is the big one. You’ve got large homes with high ceilings and long duct runs, so it’s common for some rooms to stay cold while others heat up fine. That’s usually a ductwork issue—leaks, poor insulation, or undersized ducts that can’t push enough warm air to the far corners of the house.
Older furnaces are another common problem. A lot of systems in this area are 15 to 20 years old, and they’re running at 60-70% efficiency compared to modern units that hit 90%+ efficiency. When they start failing, you’re looking at frequent repairs, higher energy bills, and inconsistent performance.
Thermostat issues come up often too. If your thermostat isn’t calibrated right or the wiring’s loose, your furnace won’t cycle properly. That leads to short cycling, constant running, or the system not turning on at all. It’s an easy fix, but it causes a lot of frustration until it’s handled.
Yes. We’re available 24/7 for heating emergencies. If your furnace goes out in the middle of the night or during a cold snap, you can call us and we’ll get someone out as fast as possible—usually within a few hours.
We don’t charge outrageous after-hours fees. You’ll pay for the labor and parts, and there’s a service call fee, but we’re not doubling our rates just because it’s 2 a.m. We’ve built our reputation on fair pricing and honest service, and that doesn’t change when the sun goes down.
Emergency calls get priority. If your heat’s out and it’s freezing, that’s a health and safety issue. We’re not going to make you wait until Monday morning or tell you to call back during business hours. We’ll get your system running again so your family’s safe and comfortable.
If your furnace is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, repair usually makes sense. You’ll get several more years out of it, and the cost is manageable.
If your furnace is 15+ years old and you’re looking at a major repair—like a cracked heat exchanger or failed control board—replacement is often the better move. At that age, you’re dealing with lower efficiency, higher energy bills, and the likelihood of more repairs down the road. A new system pays for itself over time through lower utility costs and fewer service calls.
We’ll walk you through the math. If repair makes sense, we’ll tell you. If replacement is smarter, we’ll explain why and give you options. We’re not here to push you into a new furnace if fixing the old one gets you where you need to be. But we’re also not going to let you waste money on a system that’s on its last legs.
Annual maintenance is the best prevention. A tune-up before winter catches small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. We clean the burners, check the heat exchanger, test the blower motor, and make sure everything’s running efficiently.
Change your air filter every one to three months depending on your system and how much dust your home collects. A clogged filter restricts airflow, makes your furnace work harder, and leads to breakdowns. It’s a $20 fix that prevents $500 problems.
If you’ve got an older system, keep an eye on your energy bills. A sudden spike usually means something’s wrong—your furnace is working harder than it should because a component’s failing. Catching it early saves you money and keeps your home comfortable through the winter.
