Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AC repair cost in San Antonio?

Most air conditioning repairs in San Antonio land between about $150 and $600. Simple fixes like a failed capacitor, contactor, or float switch sit at the low end. Bigger jobs such as a blower motor, evaporator coil, or compressor can run $1,200 or more. We diagnose the system first and give you a flat price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice. If another company has quoted you a large repair or a full replacement, we will give you a free second opinion.

Should I repair or replace my AC in this Texas heat?

A simple framework works well here. If the system is under ten years old and the repair costs less than about a third of a new unit, repair it. Past twelve to fifteen years, or with a repair over $1,500, or on an older R-22 system, replacement usually wins. San Antonio summers run equipment far harder than most of the country, so efficiency counts too. A new SEER2-rated Trane system cuts summer runtime and utility cost enough to offset part of the price difference.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

If your AC is running but not cooling your San Antonio home, the issue could be related to airflow, refrigerant, the outdoor unit, frozen coils, thermostat problems, or a failing component. Because South Texas heat can put heavy demand on cooling systems, it is best to schedule professional service instead of waiting for the problem to get worse. Cowboys AC can inspect the system, identify the cause, and recommend the right repair.

How often should my system be serviced?

Twice a year. Cooling should be checked in spring before the first stretch of hundred-degree days, and heating in fall before the first real cold front. Our climate is hard on equipment: long run hours, dust, and humidity mean coils load up and capacitors weaken faster here than in milder places. A tune-up catches those problems while they are still inexpensive. We currently take $35 off a tune-up, and maintenance plan customers get priority scheduling during the busiest weeks of summer.

Do I need a permit to replace my AC in San Antonio?

Yes. The City of San Antonio requires a mechanical permit for equipment replacement, and an inspection is part of the process. We pull the permit as part of your installation, so you do not have to file anything yourself. This matters more than people expect. An unpermitted install can cause problems when you sell the home, and manufacturer warranties, Trane included, expect equipment installed to code. Our license number, TACLB00027173, goes on the permit and on every job we run.

What size air conditioner does my home need?

The honest answer comes from a load calculation, a Manual J that accounts for square footage, insulation, window area and orientation, ductwork, and shade. Bigger is not better in San Antonio. An oversized unit cools the air quickly, shuts off, and never runs long enough to pull humidity out, so the house feels clammy even at 74 degrees, and short cycling wears out the compressor. We measure and calculate before quoting rather than matching whatever size happened to be there before.

Do you offer financing on a new system?

Yes. We work with Synchrony, Service Finance, Wisetack, and GoodLeap, with terms available up to 15 years. Approval is usually quick, and there are options for a range of credit situations, including plans with no money down. Which lender makes the most sense depends on the amount financed and the term you want, so we go through the actual monthly numbers with you before you commit to anything. Financing is an option, never a requirement, and paying outright is always fine.

What is the most common furnace problem?

One of the most common furnace problems is poor airflow, which can make rooms feel unevenly heated or cause the system to run less efficiently. Even though San Antonio is known for hot weather, a dependable heating system still matters when cold fronts move through South Texas. If your furnace is not heating properly, turns on and off too often, or makes unusual noises, Cowboys Air Conditioning & Heating can help get it working safely and reliably.

What is the most expensive thing to fix on a furnace?

Some of the most serious furnace issues involve major internal components, especially parts that affect performance, airflow, ignition, or safety. Instead of guessing, it is best to have a qualified HVAC technician inspect the system and explain whether repair or replacement makes more sense. Cowboys AC can evaluate your furnace and help you make a practical decision for your home.
