What to know about AC repair in Houston

Houston's cooling season runs most of the year, and in this humidity your AC is pulling moisture out of the air as well as heat, so a struggling system often shows up first as a sticky, damp-feeling house. Many Houston homes have the air handler in the attic, where summer heat is hard on parts and a clogged drain line can leak into the ceiling below. Companies get busiest in the first big heat wave of the year and after storms, so call early in the day.

  • Check the easy things first: thermostat set to Cool, fresh batteries, and the breaker for the outdoor unit.
  • A clogged air filter can stop cooling. Replace it if it looks gray or dusty.
  • If you see ice on the indoor coil or the copper line outside, turn the system off and let it thaw before the tech arrives.
  • Ask for the company's Texas ACR license number and a written estimate before work starts.
  • Refrigerant work must be done by an EPA 608 certified technician.

AC repair questions from Houston homeowners

Should I repair or replace my AC?

It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and how often it has broken down. Ask the technician for both options in writing so you can compare.

How fast can someone come out?

It varies by company and season. Call two or three companies from the list and ask about their next available time.

How does AirScouter choose these companies?
