If your AC has been running nonstop since you woke up this morning, you're not imagining it — and you're definitely not alone. It's one of the most common calls we get here in San Antonio. In a city where summers push past 100 degrees for weeks at a time, your AC works harder than almost anywhere else in the country. But there's a difference between an AC that's working hard and an AC that's struggling.

t's 10 o'clock on a Tuesday night. You're in San Antonio in the middle of summer. The house is already at 85 degrees and your AC just died. Your first instinct is to grab your phone and call someone.

Every summer, San Antonio hits that stretch. You know the one. Triple digits for two, three weeks straight. The kind of heat where CPS Energy sends those "conserve power" alerts and your electric bill jumps $80 in a single month. And right in the middle of it, your AC shuts off. It's not a coincidence. Your AC is most likely to fail on the hottest day of the year, not because of bad luck, but because extreme heat pushes your system to its absolute limit. When the outside temperature sits at 105 and your attic hits 140 or higher, every part of your AC is working harder than it was designed to. Something gives. We've been servicing AC systems across San Antonio for over 14 years, and every summer we see the same wave of calls from Stone Oak to the South Side to Alamo Ranch.
