Plumbing and HVAC Service Built for Boerne
Boerne sits on limestone, and that shapes almost everything about a home here. Water comes out of the tap loaded with calcium. Lots are big, so water lines run long. Trenching for a sewer repair means cutting through rock, not dirt. And a good share of homes outside the city limits run on private wells and septic, which changes how we approach pressure, filtration and drains.
Radiant has served the San Antonio area since 1999, and Boerne is a regular stop for our trucks heading up I-10. We work on the whole range of housing here: older homes near downtown and Cibolo Creek, custom builds on acreage, and the newer subdivisions that have filled in along the highway corridor. The calls we get most from Boerne are scale-choked water heaters, water softener installs and swaps, air conditioners that cannot keep up on a 102-degree afternoon, and leaks that show up as a wet spot in the yard or a water bill that doubled.
Every visit works the same way. A licensed, background-checked technician looks at the actual problem, explains what is going on in plain language, and gives you a price before touching anything. You approve it first. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, we will say so. That is the Home Comfort Guarantee, and it applies in Boerne the same as it does anywhere else we work.
- Rock and hard water We plan around limestone, caliche and heavy scale before we quote, not after.
- Well and septic aware Pressure tanks, softeners and drains on well systems are routine for our plumbers.
- Quote honored 72 hours The price we give you is the price, with no hidden fees, even on a weekend.

What Living in Boerne Does to a House
Hard water and scale. City water and well water both pass through limestone on the way to your tap. Expect scale on fixtures, cloudy glassware and a water heater that loses capacity year after year. A softener, an annual water heater flush and a look at your pressure regulator go a long way.
Rock, not dirt. Digging is slow and expensive in Kendall County, so we lean on camera inspections and precise leak location before anyone picks up a shovel. When a line does need replacing, we talk through trenchless and pipe-lining options first.
Big lots, long runs. The distance from the meter to the house means more pipe to leak and more pressure loss. If your shower fades when the sprinklers run, that is usually a pressure or sizing issue, not bad luck.
Heat and cedar. Summers push past 100 degrees, and winter brings mountain cedar pollen. Properly sized cooling, sealed ducts and a good filtration setup matter more here than in a dense city neighborhood.
Cold snaps. Exposed pipe on well heads, hose bibs and outbuildings is what froze in February 2021. We insulate and, where it makes sense, re-route it.

Frequently Asked Questions
We are on a private well outside Boerne city limits. Can you still help with softening and pressure?
Yes. Well systems are common around Boerne and our plumbers work on them regularly. We handle the house side of the system: pressure tanks and switches, pressure-reducing valves, sediment filtration, softeners and reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink. If your pressure surges and drops, or the water has started staining fixtures, we will test it and tell you which piece is the actual problem. We do not drill wells or service submersible pumps, and we will say so upfront rather than guess.
Why does my Boerne home go through water heaters so fast?
Scale. Boerne water is very hard, and every gallon that gets heated drops minerals onto the bottom of the tank or the heating elements. A layer of scale forces the burner to work harder, rumbles when it heats, and eventually cracks the tank or burns out an element. Two things extend the life of a water heater here: an annual flush, and a softener ahead of it. If yours is already past ten years and rumbling, we will give you a straight answer on whether a replacement or a repair makes more financial sense.
Are you actually a Boerne company, or are you driving in from San Antonio?
Our San Antonio office is on Wye Drive, and Boerne is part of our regular service area, not an occasional trip. Technicians run I-10 into Kendall County daily, so scheduling a Boerne visit works the same as anywhere else we serve, with 24/7 availability and the same upfront pricing. You will get a quoted price before work begins, honored for 72 hours, with no surprise fees for weekends or holidays. If you want a maintenance schedule instead of a one-off visit, Care Club covers two annual HVAC tune-ups and a plumbing safety inspection with no dispatch fees.
My AC runs all afternoon but the house never gets cool. Is that normal for a Hill Country home?
Running nonstop on a 100-degree day is common, but never reaching the set temperature is not. The usual culprits are low refrigerant from a slow leak, a dirty coil, leaking ductwork in a hot attic, or a system that was undersized for the house, especially after an addition or new windows facing west. Sometimes it is a simple capacitor. We start with a proper diagnosis and give you the price for the fix before doing anything. If the system is old and the repair is large, we will show you the replacement numbers side by side so you can decide.

Our 18 year old HVAC system finally gave out this past week, so we reached out to Radiant to see what could be done. They sent a tech out named Bryan the same day, and he did a great job looking over the entire HVAC system. He was friendly and helpful in explaining everything that he saw, and our options moving forward. We decided to replace the entire system, so we met with Jacob (same day thankfully) to find the best HVAC system for our needs. Jacob was friendly, professional, and did a great job explaining the different options on offer. Radiant was able to set-up next day install, which was much appreciated, because the temps were still going to be cold in the coming days.
The install team consisted of Carlos and Pablo, who were very courteous and professional, and were kind enough to answer any questions I had regarding the install. They did a great job installing our new HVAC system, and were tidy which is always appreciated! Before they left, they explained everything that had been done, and showed me photos of the work.
Our entire experience from start to finish was great. I appreciate that they send photos of who is coming to your home too. Friendly, kind, professional team members, and good work all the way around. Thanks Radiant!

I was totally shocked at that and the service call was only $39!!…. Highly recommend them Danielle showed up and he was a great guy and he put up with all my wishy-washiness and I had to hurry him because I was heading to church and he got caught in a lot of traffic getting here he even would’ve installed the part that broke but I Didn’t have the time tonight….. He was patient with me and just told me to call the office first thing in the morning and get a service call set up…. Thank you so much Radiant!!….

I had Radiant Plumbing replace my tankless water heater, damaged in the Feb. 2021 snowmageddon storm with a new unit. The process was smooth and professional from start to finish. The plumber, James, was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly explained my options to me. The cost and time to perform the installation were just as estimated. When he was done, James explained how to maintain the system, what service would be needed and how to perform it, and answered all of my engineering geek questions. It was a thoroughly positive experience. I have used several different plumbers in Austin over the past 15 yrs, but my search is over - I will not hesitate to call Radiant next time and would recommend them unreservedly.
8/9/23 Update: I have subsequently used Radiant for a toilet repair, faucet installation (Danny), and drain work (Ezekiel) and they have continued to impress with knowledgeable, friendly plumbers and quality work.
