Heating and air conditioning service built around Elmendorf
Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm. Our Elmendorf teams are set up for exactly that: rapid response, flat-rate pricing quoted before work begins, and no surprise overtime charge for nights or weekends.
Around Elmendorf, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in Texas: one before March through November and one before December through February. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

Elmendorf78112 HVAC questions, answered
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Elmendorf we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
How often should I change my filter in 78112?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Elmendorf with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
What does a new system cost in Elmendorf?
A complete residential replacement in the 78112 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
How quickly can a technician get to Elmendorf?
For the 78112 service area our target response time is 60-90 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 78112?
A diagnostic visit in Elmendorf typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
