Here are the top considerations when choosing a heating and cooling company:

  1. They offer the best solutions for your problem. No matter what problem you are having with your air conditioning system they need to have the best and most efficient solution. They should first listen to your needs and explain how they are going to fix it. 
  2. Expertise and Trust: your HVAC system is probably one of the most costly items in your home and you don’t buy one every day. See what your San Marcos neighbors are saying about our 5 Star Services over the last 3 decades. 
  3. Free Estimates - they should offer a free estimate on the services that they will be performing. At a minimum, if they do charge a fee to come out, it should be included in the service if you decide to hire them.

  5. How involved are they in your local community? We’re glad for the opportunity to give back to Hays County for 3 decades. Check out our yearly Gift of Heat community service.

Review
We have been using Garner for the past 2-3 years and Chey Simpson has been amazing. We unfortunately needed duct work and a whole home dehumidifier. After agreeing to the estimates and scheduling for the work, I have been disappointed in the customer service. I never received a confirmation text as usual for the appointment and who would be showing up. I reached out to the general number as well as Max Bethke, the gentleman who inspected the unit for issues. I never heard back from either. Did they show up? Yes but why not respond and verify they showed or at least acknowledge my concerns. Angel and Daniel showed up and they were amazing! Kind and respectful. They knocked each time they came in and made sure to put booties on their shoes. I asked if Max would be showing up, and they mentioned Ethan would be showing up later. When Ethan showed up, he never came to let us know he arrived. He walked into the house without knocking and again never introduced himself. He also didn’t wear any booties over his shoes. When I asked him if he was Ethan, he just responded yeah and then told me he needed to access the thermostat. Once they were done, my wife asked him several questions and he answered none of them. He basically mansplained and repeated himself instead of addressing concerns and questions. It got to a point where it wasn’t even worth asking anything and we’d rather wait and chat with Chey. Ethan also mentioned I would receive a receipt which never came. I also checked my junk mail so that can be ruled out. Also, even though they have completed the duct work, we are not noticing a difference in the primary bathroom or closet as far as air flow. After spending $8,500, I expected a lot more from Garner, Ethan and Max. My dental office has better customer service than I received that day from Garner and associates.

On arrival, I found that the indoor furnace control board was displaying a fault code relating to a furnace pressure switch failing to send a signal to the control board. I tested the pressure switch to ensure it was properly operating, which confirmed that the control board had failed and was not receiving the appropriate signal. I spoke with homeowner about my findings and we have decided to go ahead and replace the furnace control board. I installed the new board, secured all the low and high voltage wiring terminals and secured the low voltage control wiring to the proper spots and tested the system. I verified the furnace and AC turned on as designed and system was operating within manufacturer specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Performed heater tune-up on a Carrier heat pump and two York gas furnace systems. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain lines and washed the outdoor heat pump coil. I did find a lot of water sitting in the basement. It looks like the main drain that goes under the home was clogged. This is where the a/c systems drain out as well. I was able to partially clear the main drain and remove the water from the basement. Talked to the homeowner and recommended having a plumber out to help prevent the water from backing up again. No other issues found. All systems are operational at this time.

On arrival I spoke with Dan and he said the system had frozen over yesterday from the indoor coil to the outdoor compressor. Service diagnostic found that the system was low on refrigerant. I spoke with Dan and he chose to add refrigerant to the system. I added 2 pounds of refrigerant and performed a leak search. I was unable to find a leak at this time. I asked Dan to keep an eye on the system and give us a call if it happens again. The system is running at completion of service.

Super pleased with the folks at Garner. We had our AC suddenly go out completely. Aware of the warm Spring weather, they assessed the situation, chose and sourced a new system, and had it up and running, all in about 48 hours. Everyone communicated well throughout and everything was carefully explained. They helped us find the best solution for our situation and budget. Highly recommend!!
