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.

Performed cooling maintenance on three Carrier heat pump systems and a 23-year-old American standard heat pump. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the systems. Cleared and treated all drain lines and washed all condenser coils. I found the outdoor capacitor on the downstairs vertical system is undervalue. I also found water in the secondary drain pan on the upstairs Carrier system. I cleared the drain and removed the water from the pan. I suggested to Peter that we add a float switch to prevent any more water from going into the pan. I also found multiple deficiencies American standard system. Peter had to leave for a meeting so he asked that I send over the estimates on repairs and he will call the office if he has any questions.

Drain line hose was not cut to correct length and was coiled up, so water would back up into the pan. Cut off about 12” outside so it wasn’t coiled up. Also corrected electrical wiring inside head unit to ensure a proper snug electrical connection fit. Everything is working at this time.
