A broken AC in a Katy or Houston summer is not something to put off. Our technicians arrive stocked with common parts and diagnose the real issue before recommending a fix, not just the first thing that might make the symptom go away.

Is Your AC Acting Up?

Warm Air From VentsOften low refrigerant or a failing compressor.

Short-CyclingTurning on and off rapidly usually points to an electrical or thermostat issue.

Runs Constantly, Never CoolsA sign the system is undersized, low on refrigerant, or airflow-restricted.

Water Pooling Near the UnitA clogged condensate drain, common in our humidity.

Grinding or Squealing NoisesUsually a motor bearing or loose component.

Unexplained High Electric BillA system working harder than it should to hit the same temperature.

What We Fix

Refrigerant Leaks: Locating and sealing leaks, then properly recharging the system.

Capacitor & Contactor Failures: Fast, common repairs that restore motor function.

Compressor Problems: Diagnosing whether a compressor can be repaired or needs replacement.

Electrical Faults: Tripped breakers, bad relays, and wiring damaged by attic pests.

Clogged Condensate Drains: Clearing drain lines before they cause water damage.

Dirty or Frozen Coils: Cleaning and thawing coils that are blocking airflow.

Fan & Motor Issues: Repairing or replacing blower and condenser fan motors.

Thermostat Problems: Recalibrating or replacing faulty thermostats and sensors.

Ductwork Airflow Issues: Identifying when the real problem is the ducts, not the equipment.

Dirty Filters: A simple fix we always check first, before assuming something’s broken.

Should You Repair or Replace?

Consider Repair If:

The unit is under 10 years old
This is its first major issue
The repair cost is a fraction of a new system
It’s a single, isolated component failure

Best for: newer units with minor issues

Consider Replace If:

The unit needs frequent repairs
It’s 10-12+ years old and inefficient
Repair costs exceed 30-50% of a new system
It uses R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured)

Best for: older units with recurring issues

Not sure which applies to you? We give honest recommendations based on your specific system, not whichever option happens to be more profitable for us.

What Actually Causes Most AC Failures

Refrigerant leaks are the most common repair we see in this climate, usually from a worn coil or a connection that’s vibrated loose over years of runtime. Failing capacitors and contactors are close behind, they’re small electrical parts that wear out faster here because our systems run so many more hours per year than in milder states. Dirty coils and clogged condensate drains cause a large share of “it’s running but not cooling” calls, especially in humid areas like Pearland and Sugar Land.
