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.

Garner heating and air helped us as soon as they could after the Polar Vortex of 2021.

When I arrived, the customer informed me that there is a pipe that cuts the corner of the sheet rock at the ceiling and the exterior wall. I found that the line set was not run through the header of the exterior wall before it went down. I informed the customer of my findings, and she chose to leave it until the system is replaced. After discussing the pipe, she asked me if I could check the refrigerant pressures. After checking the pressures, I found that the system is low on refrigerant. I presented the customer with her options on this repair, and she chose to do the work at the bronze level. The system is installed poorly and looks to be in poor condition. It is operational at this time.

After performing the diagnostic, I found that the expansion valve inside the evaporator coil was stuck and not metering correctly. I presented options to the customer, but I am waiting to hear back from the supply house on parts availability and warranty.

Performed the AC tune-up and everything is working at this time. See attached checklist for full tune-up details. I did discuss renewing the maintenance plan, but the customer may not be here in a few months so did not want to renew today.
Max B.
When I arrived, the customer asked me to look at the evaporator coil to see how dirty it was. After opening the system up and looking at the 14-year-old evaporator coil it is in clean condition at this time. However, I did notice that the drain line and secondary pan had some issues and I addressed this with the customer. The drain pan is slightly off from underneath one of the corners of the air handler and has rust and corrosion at the bottom of it. I also noticed that there is no way to clear through the drain line and it does not have any safety switches in the drain line. I did present options to have the secondary drain pan replaced. The options also included re-piping the primary drain line with the installation of safety float switches in both the primary drain line as well as a secondary pan to prevent any sheet rock damage from the pan overflowing. The customer declined all repairs at this time.
Max B.
After performing the diagnostic, I found that the capillary tube was rubbing on the reversing valve which caused a leak. I presented the customer with their options and they chose to have it repaired at the Gold level. After performing the Gold level repair everything is coming on and working at this time.

Performed AC tune-up. I did recommend having a safety float and surge protection installed but the customer declined at this time. See attached checklist for complete tune-up details.
Ethan D.
Installed new 4-ton heat pump system. Replaced supply and return plenum. Ran new line set, new 1” drain line and new control wiring. Installed SS-2 and SS-3 safety switches on drain. Installed new outdoor condenser. Installed new line filter drier on 3/8” copper. Pressure tested copper lines with dry nitrogen and pulled a deep vacuum to remove any moisture in the line set. Will be returning tomorrow to do the remaining duct work.
Ethan D.
Installed a new Carrier 4-ton heat pump system. Rebuilt condensate drain, replaced 20x20 filter base and installed an SS-2 safety switch. Made a field transition to the existing plenum and sealed with an air lock and mastic tape. Replaced outdoor condenser, installed a liquid line filter dryer, performed an extensive pressure test on refrigerant lines and pulled a deep vacuum on entire system to remove any moisture in line set. Charged the system to factory refrigerant specs and system is running upon completion of replacement.
Max B.
After performing the diagnostic, I found a bad breaker going to the condenser. I presented the customer with his options and he declined all options saying he would replace it himself. I did let him know that I would not be able to perform the system inspection afterwards.
Max B.
When I arrived, the customer informed me that he had the breakers turned off to the air handler while he switched out the batteries in the thermostat. We turned the breakers back on to the system and everything is coming on and working at this time. I presented the customer with his options to replace the thermostat and he told me he just wanted to do the diagnostic for today. The system is in poor condition.
Max B.
The system is in poor condition due to the sub-freezing temperatures and needs to be replaced.
Max B.
After performing the diagnostic, I found that the low-voltage wire going to the condenser had a short in it causing the fuse to pop. I was unable to check over the electrical inside the condenser because it is a solid block of ice from the weather conditions outside today. I presented options to the customer for running a new wire and he chose to move forward with the repair, but we will need to wait until weather conditions improve. I will have our office reach out for scheduling next week. They do have electric heat running at this time however I did have to remove the wires going to the condenser so it would not pop the fuse again.
Max B.
Performed the heater tune-up and everything is working at this time. I was unable to check the ductwork due to not having access to the attic. The customer informed me that he will be cutting in a new pull-down staircase and hallway before we come out for the next tune-up.

Installed locking caps per city code inspector
Max B.
Performed the heater tune-up and everything is working at this time. While performing the inspection I did find the power disconnect to the condenser had completely failed so I presented the customer with his options. He chose to go ahead and have it repaired at the bronze level. After making the repair everything is coming on and working accordingly.
George T.
Performed heating tune-up on an American Standard system. Found heavy buildup at air movement system and no air flow feeding master bath due to incorrect installation. Adjustments made to thermostat threshold and customer will monitor.
Max B.
Performed the heater tune-up on the Carrier heat pump system in the closet. While performing the inspection I did find and treat biological growth inside the blower compartment. I also found that the evaporator coil is starting to get dirty and if this continues, it will need to be cleaned.

They will evaluate your equipment, catching potential problems before they become heating and air conditioning emergencies.
