AC Repair in Texas: what's different
AC Repair across Texas depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–4). In hot-humid climates the air conditioner removes moisture as well as heat, so refrigerant charge, airflow and a clear condensate drain matter as much as raw capacity. Oversized systems short-cycle and leave rooms clammy.
In Texas specifically: extreme summer heat. Long stretches of 100°F days wear out capacitors, fans and compressors.
Texas licenses air conditioning and refrigeration contractors through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Every licensed contractor's number should appear on contracts and vehicles. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for AC Repair.
Common systems in Texas: Central AC + gas furnace, Heat pumps, Attic air handlers, Zoned two-story systems. Tell the contractor which one you have so they bring the right parts.

Should I repair or replace my AC?+
