AC Repair Houston

Jack is a straight-​shooter. He was the third company I contacted about replacing the evaporator coils for both of our AC units. Our usual company flaked on us and refused to do the work they’d agreed to do unless we had structural changes made in the attic.
I was getting desperate when I talked to Jack. He came by the same day to take a look and told me it wouldn’t be a problem. His bid was $ 3k lower than our other quote.
He sent his best guys a couple days later and fixed us up. Everything is working in top-​notch order. Strongly recommend this company!

Shows up promptly, does a quality job, explains things thoroughly, and charges fair prices. What more could you want?

I called this guys explaining I already had another company bail on us and not show up. He told me to check his reviews on Unilocal and would be out same day. This was two weeks ago. I guess I need to start an AC company if this is the competition because it’s extremely unprofessional.

I don’t usually do any reviews but Jack with AC Repair Houston was awesome.
I am an honorably discharged veteran, in the Army I was a COMSEC equipment repair specialist (MOS 35E) and since have done Network support, Tech support and more. The point is I know how to troubleshot a system and I know when some one is full of it and or incompetent. Our AC was keeping our house at about 78 degrees during the day but it was running nonstop, so on 8÷13÷14 we called out another company. This guy we’ll call him Andrew; Andrew comes out and messes around for about 2 hours and says that there is a leak in our AC’s coil and that our AC needed Freon and patching agent for a leaky coil. First he says it will be $ 600 then after he does it, he says no it will be $ 350.00 and acted like he was doing us a favor. Before he left he said that our AC was going to fail soon, could be a month could be a year and that we really needed: a new 410a condenser, a new filter dryer, a new 410a coil and a new plenum. He wrote up a proposal for $ 5500.00. Then he says «I’ll come back with out the 50.00 service charge if the patching doesn’t take.» The ac worked for about 3 days (it was cooler out side and cloudy) and returned to running nonstop. I went out to the AC unit and I could see oil on top of it. We call out Andrew again and he comes out and looks at the out side unit then goes up to the attic and says our ac coil is clogged (Clogged? before it was leaking then he patched it and now its clogged.) He doesn’t mention the condenser. We tell him we cant do $ 5500.00 and he just shrugs doesn’t come up with any other proposals, shrugs again and says something like «I know how it is. I’m in the business and cant afford to fix my own AC and my electric bills are like $ 600.00 a month.» At this point I know he is completely full of it, the $ 600.00 a month electric bill nonsense was his sales push and he had only came out to cash in on a $ 5500.00 proposal. After we told him no he goes out and disconnects his cables from the AC and leaves. Before Andrews second visit our AC was working enough to keep the house at 79 degrees during the day and 73 at night (73 is what we have it set to) but there was something wrong because it was having to run nonstop. That night, immediately after the the second visit the AC stopped blowing any cool air. I went to take a look at the AC the following morning and there was oil all over the cement that the AC sits on. As someone who has worked as a technician I don’t like blaming the repair guy, after all clearly my AC had a problem or I wouldn’t have called someone out, so it was probably just Andrews bad luck that it seemed to get worse after each of his visits.
I didn’t check Unilocal before calling the other company. I checked the other guys Unilocal page out today and they have no reviews but they have been in Houston for 10 years. If they get one from me it wont be good.
Anyways, I read some of the reviews here and I called Jack. He said he was busy all weekend and that he couldn’t get out to take a look until Monday (8÷25÷14). That weekend I started reading more reviews here and found out there was a $ 75.00 service charge and that I was out of his usual service area. I wasn’t worried about the service charge because its only $ 25.00 more than the other guy and I wanted a second opinion. On Monday Jack showed up on time and it took him about 5 minutes to identify the problem and point out the exact point of failure in my AC unit. He gave me a quote for $ 2500. I asked him to take a look at our clogged coil and he said it was good. We shook hands and he left. This morning (8÷26÷14) he gave me a call to let me know he was running a little late and that he would be there in a few minutes. An hour and a half after he got here my ac was blowing cold air. Jack didn’t ever bring up that I was out of his usual service area.
TLDR
I’m an honorably discharged vet you can trust me.
Check Unilocal before you call someone. If they don’t have a review maybe you should try someone else.
Want a second opinion? Call Jack with AC Repair Houston.

Jack is excellent. He quickly found the issue and had our AC up and running at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommend

These guys were quick and efficient and reasonably priced. I highly recommend and I never do Unilocal recs.

We had an excellent experience with Jack at AC Repair Houston. Our main A/​C unit went out over the weekend (of course) and Jack came by on Sunday morning as promised without charging us a call-​out fee. He explained our options and given the old age and condition of our unit, we opted to buy a new one. At no time did he ever pressure us or try to make the situation sound more dire than it was.
Within 24 hours, the new A/​C unit was installed and working great. He sent us an invoice afterwards by email and we paid by PayPal using our credit card. It could not have been any easier.
As noted by other reviewers, Jack is very contactable by cell and text. It was a pleasure doing business with him!

Jack, who runs and works this business, is good. He’s fast and won’t charge you an arm and a leg. Some places might want to replace the whole unit but he’ll replace the faulty part which will save you hundreds or even a couple of thousand bucks.
He’s a real personable guy and actually uses his iPhone as his secretary. The invoice was sent from his iPhone to my email account. I was able to use PayPal which was quick and painless. He also accepts credit cards and checks.
So yeah, I would definitely call Jack from here on out for any AC problems at my condo.

Called and made an appointment with them but they never bothered to show up or even call to cancel. But they made sure to tell me to have their $ 75 ready for them for their call out fee.
