AC Replacement San Marcos, TX
Heating and air conditioning replacement is an unavoidable eventuality, even with excellent maintenance. Once it becomes clear that your heater and AC needs to be replaced, our technicians will evaluate your space and your needs to design a superior system that will provide you with the comfort you deserve. Everything from duct work, vents, and airflow will be considered and optimized, to help save you money in energy costs and ensure the efficiency and longevity of your new system.
Here are the top considerations when choosing a heating and cooling company:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Licensing – they need to be a licensed professional. The vast majority of HVAC pros are licensed but just check and make sure before hiring them.
- 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.

Wonderful and Friendly Service
Dinsmore - San Marcos, TX
Our A/C started blowing warm air last Saturday. We didn't know who to call and were told that Garner Heating and Air Conditioning would take care of us. We called and spoke with Ryan who was here within the hour (on a Saturday afternoon!). He had to clear away the brush around the A/C before even beginning the service. He quickly diagnosed and fixed our problem. Ryan was prompt, friendly, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. This is an 18 year old system, so he did what it took to keep it going. We know that we will work with Ryan and Garners in the future when we need a new A/C. Thanks for great service!

I found the mini split head in the living room to be sloping forward and leaking water. I gave the customer her options and she chose to go ahead and have it fixed.

Perform the AC tune-up and everything is working at this time.

When I arrived, the upstairs thermostat was not responsive. After taking it off the wall I realized the connection from the base to the user interface was not on correctly. I pushed it on, and everything came on. I climbed into the attic and found the supply plenum was leaking lots of air. I informed the customer and she said she is going to contact the builder because they were supposed to fix it the last time they were out and if they don’t she will have us come put a new supply plenum on.

Returned to finish out pre-existing flue pipe in attic to roof. Pieces were strapped and secured. System is ready for heating in the winter.
Max B.
customer informs me that they had a massive surge a couple of days ago and ever since then the system was not working correctly. After looking at the system I found that the compressor was running in reverse on a straight cool condenser. I pull the power, let it reset, and everything came on and is working at this time. I inform the customer that if it starts to act up again to give me a call immediately.
Don L.
Fix leak in lineset and charge system to factory specs. Working at this time
Max B.
the customer informs me that he is going blind and can’t see well. The breakers that he shows me are on the bottom right side of the panel and the breakers that go to our unit are on the top left. They also ask me why there are 2 cool settings on the thermostat, and I look and there was not; it’s off, heat, cool and emergency heat. And that was both the husband and wife.

I find a completely depleted voltage enhancer and the voltage distributor is in poor condition. I call Todd and give him his options and he chooses to go ahead and have the parts replaced at this time at the silver level. After replacing the voltage enhancer, voltage distributor and clearing the primary drain line, everything is working at this time.
Max B.
The customer informs me that he had another company out a few weeks ago to work on his upstairs system and while they were here, they checked the refrigerant in the downstairs system. The other tech said it was good, but the homeowner said they let out a lot of refrigerant. After hooking my gauges up to the downstairs system, it was low on refrigerant. I gave the homeowner options, but he just wanted the refrigerant at this time. I added R-410A refrigerant at the basic level at this time. I did inform the customer if it seems to not be cooling again then it most definitely has a refrigerant leak.
Max B.
When I arrived, I found the voltage enhancer to be a complete failure as well as the voltage distributor in poor condition. I gave the customer their options and they chose to have it replaced at the platinum level at this time. After replacing the voltage enhancer, voltage distributor and installing a start assist everything is coming on and working at this time.

When I arrived, I found the system to be completely frozen up again. Our office did advise the customer to turn the system off and the fan to the on position, but it was running when I arrived. After thawing the system out and turning it back on everything is running and working at this time. I have 6ﾟ of subcooling 19ﾟ of superheat, I had a Delta T of 24ﾟ and I had a static pressure up .38 across the furnace.

Purged and treated the primary drain line. Ran two quarts of water down the drain to ensure that it was clear. System working at completion of service.

Waiting to hear back from the supply house about return air filter grille availability. Will contact customer once part is in. Diagnostic will be discounted off price of repair.
Max B.
When I arrived, I found the system to it be completely frozen up and it seems like it has been frozen for many days if not weeks. The tenant informed me they just cleaned the filter this past Friday and it was very dirty. I recommended getting disposable filters and replacing them once a month to prevent this from happening again. After thawing the system out and turning it back on everything is running and working at this time. I had 14 degrees of superheat and 11 degrees of subcooling at this time.

When I arrived, I found a bad voltage enhancer in the system that controls the living area. I gave the customer his options and he chose to have the parts replaced at the bronze option. After replacing the parts everything is coming on and working at this time.

AC Maintenance San Marcos, TX
Maintaining your heating and cooling components is incredibly important for the longevity of your system. Regular twice a year cleanings and tune ups will keep things running smoothly and save you time and money in the long run. A poorly running system will not only impede your ability to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter; your energy costs will skyrocket as your system runs overtime to compensate.
Our A/C and heat experts will work diligently to thoroughly remove dirt and debris, which can quickly cause many of the common problems associated with poor performance and the shortened life span of your system. They will evaluate your equipment, catching potential problems before they become heating and air conditioning emergencies. Scheduling regular maintenance also has the added benefit of keeping the air quality in your residential or commercial property healthy.
