There’s never a convenient time for an air conditioner to stop cooling, especially when summer is right around the corner in San Antonio. What started as concerns about a possible refrigerant leak quickly became a larger conversation about the reliability of a 17-year-old system. Rather than continue investing in equipment nearing the end of its service life, the homeowner decided it was time for a long-term solution. Our team designed and installed a new heating and cooling system built to provide dependable comfort for years to come.

What We Found
The homeowner called after noticing the air conditioner was no longer cooling properly and suspected a refrigerant leak. During the evaluation, it became clear that the existing system was approximately 17 years old and approaching the point where major repairs could become increasingly costly. While older AC systems can often be repaired, there comes a point where an reeplacement provides greater value, reliability, and peace of mind. With summer approaching, the homeowner wanted a solution they could depend on rather than another temporary fix.

The installation included a new outdoor air conditioner, indoor furnace and coil, upgraded filtration, and a smart thermostat for improved control.
