AC Repair in Katy & Fulshear, TX

Q: Do you add refrigerant without finding the leak?

No. Refrigerant doesn't wear out—if it's low, there's a leak somewhere. We only correct refrigerant charge after identifying and documenting the cause.

We Find the Problem. We Show You the Proof. Then You Decide.

Air conditioner not cooling? Before recommending any repair, we diagnose the root cause and document our findings with photos and video. You see exactly what we see—no guesswork, no unnecessary parts.

Is Your AC Showing These Symptoms?

If you're experiencing any of these issues, your air conditioning system needs professional diagnosis.

Performance Issues

Unit runs but air is warm or weak
System short-cycles or won't start
Thermostat calls but no response

Water & Ice Problems

Water around air handler or ceiling stains
Ice on indoor coil or refrigerant lines
Drain pan overflow or backup

Unusual Signs

Buzzing, rattling, or grinding noises
Breaker trips when system starts
Strange odors when AC runs

How We Diagnose Your AC Problem

Our systematic approach ensures we find the real problem—not just the obvious symptoms.

1

System Check

Verify thermostat settings and power to the system. Check indoor air filter, return grilles, and supply airflow.

2

Indoor Unit Inspection

Inspect coil, drain pan, and drain line for blockage or overflow. Check blower wheel and motor for rotation, noise, and amp draw.

3

Electrical Testing

Measure electrical components (capacitors, contactor, wiring) for tolerance and operation against manufacturer specifications.

4

Outdoor Unit Inspection

Check fan operation, coil condition, debris, and clearances. Measure refrigerant pressures and temperatures when conditions allow.

5

Document & Explain

Document all findings with photos and video. Confirm observations and explain options before recommending any work.

Common AC Repairs We Perform

Based on our diagnostic findings, here are repairs we may recommend—only when supported by evidence.

Capacitor & Electrical

Replace failed capacitors, contactors, and other electrical components when testing shows out-of-spec readings.

Drain & Condensate

Clear condensate drain lines and restore proper drainage. Address overflow issues and safety switch problems.

Airflow Issues

Address blower problems, filter issues, and duct obstructions that restrict airflow and reduce cooling performance.

Refrigerant Issues

Correct low or high refrigerant conditions—only after identifying and documenting the leak source.

What We Will NOT Sell You

Honesty means knowing when to say no. Here's what we refuse to do:

❌ Refrigerant "top-offs" without identifying the leak cause

❌ Part replacements without test results showing failure

❌ Duct or coil replacements without visual evidence

❌ Add-ons or upsells unrelated to your documented issue

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

This is often caused by airflow restriction (dirty filter, blocked vents), refrigerant issues, or a failed outdoor component like the compressor or capacitor. We test each part systematically before recommending a fix.

Why is there ice on my AC lines or coil?

Ice usually indicates low airflow (dirty filter, blocked return, failing blower) or low refrigerant charge from a leak. We check the filter, blower, coil condition, and measure pressures to confirm the cause before recommending repairs.

Why is water leaking from my air handler?

Typically a clogged condensate drain line or drain pan overflow. We clear the drain, verify proper drainage, and check safety switches to prevent future issues and potential water damage.

Should I keep running my AC if it's not cooling?

If you see ice forming or hear abnormal noises (grinding, squealing, banging), turn it off to prevent further damage. Running a struggling system can turn a minor repair into a major one.

How do you decide if a part is bad?

We measure against manufacturer specifications—capacitance values, amp draw, continuity, voltage readings. If a component tests outside acceptable tolerances, we document the results and show you before recommending replacement.

Do you add refrigerant without finding the leak?

No. Refrigerant doesn't "wear out"—if it's low, there's a leak somewhere. We only correct refrigerant charge after identifying the cause, documenting the leak, and getting your approval on how to proceed.

How much does AC repair cost in Katy?

Our diagnostic fee is $129, which is applied toward the repair if you proceed. Repair costs vary based on the issue—we provide upfront pricing before any work begins, and you'll see documented evidence of the problem.

See What We See

Every AC repair visit is documented with photos or video of our findings—filters, coils, drains, electrical tests, and pressure readings when taken. You receive a transparency link via text where images appear in real-time, timestamped and GPS-verified. We explain what we see before recommending any correction.
