What are the signs that mean my AC needs repair?
Four signs matter most: air coming out that isn’t cold, a system switching on and off every few minutes, buzzing or grinding from the outdoor unit, and water pooling inside near the air handler. In San Antonio, the usual causes are low refrigerant, a failed capacitor, or a condensate drain clogged by humidity. Any of the four is worth a call before it becomes a compressor.

Apollo Air Heating & Cooling HVAC Services:
Your AC Broke. We’ll Fix It Today.
Look—nobody calls an AC company because things are going great. Your house is hot, you’re frustrated, and you just want somebody who’ll show up, figure out what’s wrong, and fix it without trying to sell you a whole new system.
That’s what we do at Apollo Air. Gabriel, Matthew, and our team have been handling AC repairs across San Antonio since day one. We show up the same day you call, we tell you what’s going on with your system in plain English, and we give you the price before we touch anything. No games.
How Much Does AC Repair Cost in San Antonio, TX?
Most AC repairs in San Antonio run. A capacitor or contactor sits at the low end of that; a fan motor or compressor at the high end. Either way you get a flat price in writing before any work starts, and if a repair stops making financial sense we’ll show you both numbers. Financing is available at 0% for 24 months.
What’s Included in an AC Tune-Up in San Antonio?
Our $49 AC tune-up is a five-part inspection, in this order. We check the basics first — thermostat settings, breaker panel, air filter. Then electrical testing with a multimeter: capacitor, contactor, wiring. Weak capacitors are the number-one repair we see here, because San Antonio summers eat them alive. Then we measure suction and discharge refrigerant pressures, and if you’re low, there’s a leak to find. Then the condensate drain line, which clogs constantly in this humidity and can shut a whole system down. Then we tell you what we found in plain English — no jargon, no scare tactics.
AC Problems We Fix Every Day in San Antonio
San Antonio puts your AC through hell. We’re talking 100+ days over 90°F, humidity that won’t quit from May through October, and systems that run 10–14 hours a day during peak summer. Here’s what breaks:
Why Is My AC Running but Not Cooling My House?
Usually low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator coil, or a compressor on its way out. Check your air filter first — a clogged filter is the easiest fix and costs you nothing but a trip to the hardware store. If the filter’s clean and the air still isn’t cold, it needs a diagnostic.
Why Does My AC Keep Turning On and Off?
Short cycling is usually a failing capacitor, a compressor overheating, or a system that was oversized when it went in. It drives up your CPS Energy bill and wears the compressor out faster than anything else on this list. Don’t wait it out.
What’s That Noise Coming From My Outdoor AC Unit?
Buzzing is usually electrical — a contactor going bad. Grinding points to fan motor bearings. Hissing can mean a refrigerant leak. None of the three gets better on its own, and the cheap fix window closes fast on all of them.
Why Is Water Leaking From My AC Unit Inside My House?
With San Antonio humidity, a clogged condensate drain line is one of the most common calls we get. Left alone it will stain a ceiling or soak drywall. We clear the line, confirm it’s draining, and check the pan and float switch while we’re in there.
“Gabriel was excellent! Very professional, came out same day and worked late to make sure our issues were resolved. He explained everything thoroughly, called on his way and all around did a great job!”

Here’s What Happens When We Show Up
Our guys don’t just walk in and start guessing. Here’s the actual process.
We check the basics first
Thermostat settings, breaker panel, air filter. You’d be surprised how often the fix is something simple—and we’re not going to charge you for a compressor when you needed a new filter.
Electrical testing
We pull out the multimeter and test your capacitor, contactor, and wiring. Weak capacitors are the #1 repair we see in San Antonio. The summer heat just eats them alive.
Refrigerant check
We measure suction and discharge pressures. If you’re low, there’s a leak somewhere, and we’ll find it.
Drain line inspection
The humidity here clogs condensate lines constantly. A clogged drain can shut your whole system down or cause water damage inside your house.
We tell you what we found
No jargon, no scare tactics. If it’s a $200 fix, we say so. If the repair costs more than what the system’s worth, we’ll tell you that too.

Common AC Repair Questions
How Fast Can Apollo Air Get to My House for AC Repair?
We offer same-day service across San Antonio, Stone Oak, Alamo Ranch, the Northeast Side, and surrounding areas. For after-hours emergencies, our 24/7 line gets you a real person—not a voicemail tree. Most emergency calls, we’re at your door within a few hours.
How Long Does an AC Repair Take
Most of what we see—capacitors, contactors, drain lines—takes 30 to 90 minutes once we’ve diagnosed it. Bigger jobs like a fan motor or compressor can run 2 to 4 hours. We’ll give you a time estimate before we start.
How Do I Know if I Need AC Repair or AC Replacement?
Rule of thumb: if the repair is more than half the cost of a new system and your unit is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. But we’ll give you both options and let you decide. We’re not in the business of pushing new systems on people who don’t need them.
Does Apollo Air Charge a Diagnostic Fee for AC Repair?
Service calls and estimates are free. You’ll get a full diagnostic and a flat price for the repair before any work begins, and CosmicCare members pay no diagnostic fees during regular business hours.
What Brands of AC Does Apollo Air Repair and Install?
We service all major brands, and we warrant our work on all of them — it doesn’t matter what’s in your backyard. Our trucks stock parts for the systems most common in San Antonio, so a lot of repairs get finished in one visit.
Why Is My AC Blowing Warm Air?
Four common causes: a clogged filter choking airflow, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor keeping the outdoor unit from starting, or a thermostat that isn’t switching over to cooling. Check the filter and confirm the thermostat is set to COOL first — that costs you nothing and it’s a real fix more often than people expect. If the outdoor unit isn’t running, or it runs and the air still isn’t cold, stop cycling it. Running low on refrigerant is how a small repair becomes a compressor.
Is Apollo Air Heating and Cooling Licensed and Insured in San Antonio?
Yes — licensed, bonded, and insured, and dual-licensed for both trades: HVAC License TACLA128041E through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and Plumbing License M39895. Our technicians are EPA 608 certified and NATE certified, and every one is background-checked and drug-tested. You can verify both licenses yourself through the TDLR license search.
Do I Need a Permit for AC Repair in Bexar County?
Straightforward repairs — capacitors, contactors, motors, drain lines — [generally don’t require a permit]. Work that opens the refrigerant circuit or replaces equipment [often does]. We pull any permit the job needs and handle the inspection; you don’t have to chase it.
Who Is the Best AC Repair Company in San Antonio, TX?
We’d obviously like it to be us, so here’s what you can actually check instead of taking our word for it: license status through TDLR, BBB accreditation and rating, Google review volume and score, whether the company gives you a written price before work starts, and whether the people who own it still turn up on jobs. Apollo Air is dual-licensed, BBB Accredited A+ since 2023, 5.0 stars across 900+ Google reviews, and co-founded by two technicians who are still in the field.
