A dead AC during a Texas heat advisory isn't a tomorrow problem — not with kids, older family, or pets in the house. Mark it urgent, tell us what happened, and we'll push to get a licensed Spicewood pro to your door today.
Two minutes now beats waiting on hold. No obligation.

No cool air at all during a heat advisory. An outdoor unit that's dead silent, or trips the breaker every time it starts. Refrigerant lines iced solid. Water coming through a ceiling register. Burning smells from the air handler. If that's your afternoon, you're in the right place — emergency calls jump our queue.
While you wait: set the thermostat to OFF so a frozen coil can thaw, close blinds on the west side, run ceiling fans, and leave a tripped breaker off. Repeatedly resetting a shorted condenser is how a $300 repair becomes a $3,000 compressor.
Peak-load afternoons are exactly when weak capacitors and tired compressors finally let go — which is why Spicewood sees clusters of failures on the same brutal days. Spicewood is acreage country: custom homes and ranchettes spread along long private drives, where a service call takes local knowledge just to find the gate.
Yes, after-hours work can carry a premium — that's honest economics. What isn't honest is discovering the premium on the invoice. Your matched pro tells you the number before starting, heat wave or not. Nothing in our network gets billed on surprise.
One more straight answer: if your system is old enough that this emergency is really a replacement in disguise, you'll hear it on-site — with temporary options to get you cool tonight while you decide like an adult, not a hostage.
