Know what you are looking at before you call.

Iced coil, humming condenser, water in the pan — here is what we look at first when the truck rolls at 2 a.m.

You get the readings either way
Safety first
01
✓Safety first

Burning smell, sparking, CO — we make it safe before we make it cold.

Stop the water
02
✓Stop the water

Float switch, pan, drain. Water in the ceiling is the real emergency.

Ice on the coil
03
✓Ice on the coil

System off, fan on, thaw — then find why: airflow or charge.

Power & controls
04
✓Power & controls

Breaker, disconnect, capacitor, contactor. The two most common “emergencies” are free to rule out.

Stabilise overnight
05
✓Stabilise overnight

Portable cooling, a safe shutdown, temporary heat if the part has to wait for morning.

After-hours rate read to you before the truck rolls.

Symptom → cause → fix

What it usually is, and what we do about it.

The common patterns we see across Bexar County. Yours gets diagnosed with gauges, not this table — but it tells you what to expect.

Tell us your symptom
SymptomUsual causeOur fix
No cooling, 100°+ Capacitor, charge, or coil Same-day, triaged by need
Water pouring from ceiling Drain clogged, float failed Shut off, clear, pan check
Ice covering line set Starved airflow / low charge Off, fan on, then diagnose
Burning smell Motor or wiring overheating Kill power, we come now
CO alarm Exchanger or venting Get out, call from outside
No heat in a freeze Ignitor, board, or aux strips Temporary heat while we fix
02 / What counts

When it cannot wait until Monday.

Call the 24/7 line for any of these. Some are comfort, some are safety, and two of them can flood a ceiling while you sleep.

Rolling out
The Blanco Road lot at 2 a.m. A real person answers, a truck rolls — that is the whole emergency plan.

03 / While you wait

Four things to do before we get there.

None of this replaces a technician, but it protects the equipment and sometimes fixes the problem before the truck arrives.

01
Shut it off if the coil is icedA system running on a frozen coil is pushing liquid refrigerant at the compressor. Off at the thermostat, fan on, and let it thaw.
02
Check the filter and the breakerA loaded filter and a tripped breaker are the two most common “emergencies,” and both are free to rule out before we bill you.
03
Leave, if a CO alarm soundsEveryone outside first, then call. Do not wait to see whether it stops.
04
Close up the houseBlinds down, doors shut, ceiling fans on. It buys degrees while you wait, especially in the afternoon.
04 / What happens when you call

Four steps, no surprises.

01 / We show up
01 / We show up

Pressures, temperatures, airflow, electrical — on the equipment you actually have.

03 / We show you

The number in writing before a wrench turns. Repair or replace, both cases honestly.

04 / We finish clean

Re-checked with you standing there, site cleaner than we found it.

05 / Frequently asked

Emergency questions, answered straight.

More of them, with numbers, on the questions page →

Is someone really answering at 2 a.m.?+

Yes — the after-hours line reaches our own dispatch on Blanco Road, holidays and weekends included. Not an answering service in another state.

Do you charge more after hours?+

There is an after-hours rate, and you hear it before we roll. Comfort Club members do not pay the premium — that is much of the point of the membership.

How fast can you actually get here?+

In a heat wave every crew in the county is busy, so we triage: no cooling with an infant or an elderly resident goes first. Dispatch gives you a real window and calls you if it moves.

What if it needs a part nobody has at 3 a.m.?+

We stabilise what we can overnight — portable cooling, a safe shutdown, temporary heat — and get the part first thing. You will not be left guessing.

Should I just wait until morning?+

If it is only comfort and the house is holding, waiting saves you the after-hours rate. If there is water, ice, a burning smell or a CO alarm, call now.
