The Houston77078 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.
Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)
One or two rooms that never reach the set temperature
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
Frozen evaporator coil or ice on the refrigerant lines
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Heating and air conditioning service built around Houston
Serving Houston and the wider Harris County area, our crews carry the common failure parts on the truck — capacitors, contactors, igniters, flame sensors, motors and filters — so the first visit is usually the last one.
Around Houston, 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.

Houston77078 HVAC questions, answered
What does a new system cost in Houston?
A complete residential replacement in the 77078 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 much does an HVAC service call cost in 77078?
A diagnostic visit in Houston 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.
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.
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 brands do you service in Houston?
All of them. Our 77078 technicians are trained on York, Rheem, Mitsubishi Electric, Heil and essentially every other residential brand sold in Texas, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
