Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser

No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Heating and air conditioning service built around Houston
If your high-capacity split air conditioning with gas or electric heat has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Houston generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Texas. Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm.
Homes in Harris County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
The busiest week of our year in Houston is the first stretch of sustained march weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

Houston77033 HVAC questions, answered
How often should I change my filter in 77033?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Houston 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.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Houston is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Houston we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during March through November. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Texas is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Houston most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
What does a new system cost in Houston?
A complete residential replacement in the 77033 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.
