    What customers say about emergency ac repair

    • I have called Even Flow for many times for emergencies. Their plumbers are very professional and prompt. Pricing is always in line with comparable and they are extremely prompt and have fast service. They recently repaired an emergency leak on the weekend and were on site in less than an hour. They have also helped me with an emergency pipe that burst and replaced a boiler system. I definitely recommend this company and continue to call them when Emergencies come up.

    • Air Care- nothing but respect for how this AC Business raises the bar continually. Expedient with class! But usually the same day, if you call before noon.

    • Called Rosenberg on Sunday afternoon, left message with answering service for non-emergency situation, expected a call back the next business day. Instead, I was called within a few minutes by a Roseberg rep, who scheduled a tech for us the next day. When Emmanuel, the tech, arrived, he was professional, patient, and pleasant. He expertly answered the over-abundance of questions my husband and I both asked, several repeatedly, as absorbed the info he offered…

    • Dominic and Jaylen came out SAME DAY to unblock my main sewer line. They removed and reset the toilet. They actually leveled it because it was a bit tilted. But mainly, they snaked the line twice and repeatedly placed a camera down the line until they were successful clearing a blockage. Dominic kept me informed the whole time even showing me the camera view of my main sewer line. They were GREAT. Very courteous, friendly and professional. Thank you for saving my weekend!! -Trish

    • I had called Wilks Air during the summer for an AC repair when ours stopped cooling. Ended up signing up for their yearly maintenance plan and so glad we did. Our AC has had the same issue twice since the initial visit and both times they were prompt to come out (same day service) and the techs were kind and informative. We were not charged for either of those additional visits due to their service warranty and the AC is finally back in business. Highly recommend this company!

    What customers say about emergency ac repair

    • Our AC went out overnight so my wife called first thing in the morning, and Tyler showed up within an hour. She said he made her feel extremely comfortable (which made me feel good since I was not present) and he was able to explain everything clearly and provided different options. We felt comfortable enough to get our coils replaced based on everything Tyler explained and he was confident that was the best route to go. Hernan and Victor then came to replace the coil and they treated everything with care. They put down mats to not get our floors dirty, and they even vacuumed after…

    • Tony did a fantastic job in finding the short in our home AC/heating after it went out. He came the same day I called and tirelessly worked for hours to find the root of the problem. The price was very fair considering the time and effort it took to solve the issue.

What You Need to Know Before Scheduling HVAC Service in San Antonio

What counts as an emergency AC repair vs. a regular service call?
Total system failure on a 95°F+ day, refrigerant leak causing rapid loss of cooling, or fan/compressor seizure are emergencies. Tune-ups, slow cooling decline, and off-season checks don't qualify for emergency rates.
Should I expect a premium for after-hours or weekend dispatch?
Most providers add $150–$300 over the standard diagnostic fee for evenings, weekends, and holidays. Ask for the premium before they dispatch — a few shops publish flat-rate emergency pricing, and the gap can be $400+ on the final bill.
Typical HVAC pricing in San Antonio, TX: what should I budget?
AC repair typically runs $110–$520 in San Antonio, Texas. See the HVAC pricing table on this page for the full per-service breakdown.
