Heating and air conditioning service built around Staples
We treat 78670 as a dedicated service zone. Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm. Because the equipment here works hard for a long season, we lean heavily on catch-it-early diagnostics rather than emergency replacements.
Because Texas swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Staples calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
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.

Staples78670 HVAC questions, answered
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.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Staples 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.
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 Staples 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 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 Staples 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.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Staples is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
