How do I choose an HVAC contractor in San Marcos TX?

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.

  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.

Diagnostics found the downstairs unit primary drain clogged, tripping the float switch. I also found both outdoor capacitors well below manufacturer specs. I went over repair options with the homeowner and he chose to resolve the drain line issue on the downstairs unit and replace both outdoor capacitors at this time. I completed the work and cycled the systems on. Both systems are operating at time of departure.

Customer noticed the house was warmer than normal. I went through the system and found that the primary condensate line had backed up, tripping the emergency water safety switch. I also found that the outdoor run capacitor has fallen below rated value across both the HERM and FAN terminals. Customers approved the immediate repairs. I cleaned and cleared the primary condensate drain line and installed a new outdoor run capacitor. I also installed all new wiring terminal connections to ensure a proper and secure fit across terminals. I started up the system and verified operation. Everything is running at completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the safety switch inside the primary condensate drain line was rapidly tripping when water was flowing through the drain. The rapid start stop signal to the condenser unit had overheated the compressor. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner, he chose to have the safety switch moved to the secondary drain line. Cooled the compressor with water and installed a safety switch in the secondary drain line so that if it trips, the switch turns off the condenser and the condenser stays off. I function tested the system and the system was running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the low voltage wiring at the outdoor unit had come loose. This was preventing any electrical signal from getting to the outdoor unit. I also found the drain line has some build up in it. I spoke with the homeowner and presented repair options. She chose to have the outdoor electrical wiring repaired. I stripped back new wire and tightened all outdoor connections. I also used electrical tape to help prevent any loose connections in the future. I then cycled power at the thermostat and function tested the system. The system is operational 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!!
