AC repair, installation & replacement, heating, and commercial HVAC across Central Texas.
Veteran-owned · Family-operated · Serving San Marcos since 2013
Central Texas summers bring long stretches of triple-digit heat, and Hill Country weather can swing hard — blistering afternoons, the occasional hard winter freeze, and everything in between. Your HVAC system works overtime here, and when it struggles you need a local team that answers and shows up.

For a new system installation or replacement, we'll come out and give you a written quote. For a repair, we'll always explain the diagnosis and the cost before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your bill. Give us a call and we'll walk you through what to expect.
It depends on your home's square footage, layout, insulation, windows, and sun exposure — not just a rule of thumb. An oversized unit short-cycles and struggles with humidity, while an undersized one can't keep up with a Central Texas summer. We do a proper load calculation and right-size the system for your specific home rather than guessing.
A dead AC in a Central Texas July can't wait. We prioritize no-cooling calls and move as fast as we can to get a technician to you. Call us at (512) 392-2697 and we'll let you know the soonest we can be there.
Yes. While we're based in San Marcos and the Hill Country is our home turf, we regularly take jobs in the greater Austin area, including Round Rock and Pflugerville — especially installations and replacements. If you're up that way, give us a call and we'll let you know what we can do.
It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how efficient the unit is. As a rule of thumb, if a system is more than 10–15 years old and facing a major repair, replacement often makes more financial sense in our climate. We'll give you an honest assessment both ways and let you decide — we won't push a new system when a repair is the smarter move.
Yes. We offer customer financing through multiple partners to help make a new system more affordable. The financing amount is set during your quote, so the best first step is to talk with us and we'll walk you through the options. See our financing page for details.
