An AC that runs but doesn't cool is one of the most common calls we get in Houston summers. Our techs diagnose the actual cause instead of guessing.
Active units staged across Houston, Katy, Sugar Land & The Woodlands.
A few things worth checking before assuming the worst.
Ice buildup is a common sign of restricted airflow or low refrigerant, and running the system further with ice present can damage the compressor.

Cost depends on the actual cause found during diagnosis.
Common electrical component replacement.
Leak repair plus refrigerant recharge, depending on leak location.
Compressor replacement for confirmed compressor failure.
Small leaks at fittings develop over years and reduce cooling capacity gradually.
Houston dust and pollen build up on coils, insulating them and reducing efficiency.
Compressors nearing end-of-life struggle most during peak heat.
Closed vents or crushed ductwork restrict airflow needed for cooling.
"AC died at 9pm in July. Tech was at our door in 30 minutes and had it running again within the hour."
"Gave us the price upfront, no surprise charges. Compressor was clearly explained before they touched it."
"Called three companies at 11pm — only one picked up. Real technician walked me through safety steps."
The most common causes are low refrigerant, a failing capacitor, dirty coils, or restricted airflow — a diagnostic identifies which applies to you.
Running it briefly is usually fine, but continued operation with ice buildup or a refrigerant leak can cause compressor damage.
This depends on finding and repairing the leak first — simply adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is a temporary, wasteful fix.
Not necessarily — we'll give you an honest assessment of repair cost versus replacement value for your specific system's age and condition.
Our average dispatch time is about 35 minutes, with most diagnostics completed within an hour of arrival.
