The Houston77068 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Breaker trips every time the system starts
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning
Squealing or grinding from the blower assembly
No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Heating and air conditioning service built around Houston
Whether the complaint is weak airflow upstairs, a furnace that will not stay lit, or an outdoor unit that hums but never starts, the process is the same — a proper diagnostic, a written price, then the repair.
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.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

What Houston homeowners say
“New ductless install, clean work, and they actually did a load calculation instead of just matching the old unit size.”

Houston77068 HVAC questions, answered
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.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in Houston, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
How quickly can a technician get to Houston?
For the 77068 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.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Texas, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Houston see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
What does a new system cost in Houston?
A complete residential replacement in the 77068 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.
