From La Vernia neighbors
What people across La Vernia say.
"Allergies were brutal this spring. Clint installed a 5-inch MERV 13 media filter cabinet and cleaned the evaporator coil. Wife stopped waking up congested within a week. Real air filtration, not the 1" cardboard filter the builder put in."
Amanda & David W.
Seguin
"Big-name AC company in San Antonio quoted us almost double what Carnes charged for the same Carrier system, same tonnage, same SEER rating. Read the quotes side by side — identical equipment, wildly different prices."
Greg T.
Floresville
"Condensate drain line was clogged and water was dripping through our ceiling in Floresville. Carnes cleared the AC drain line, flushed it, and installed a float switch so it can't flood the house again. Honest work."
Doug L.
Floresville
"Our older AC unit ran on R-22 and was low on refrigerant. Carnes was honest — said they could top it off but at our system's age the smarter move was a new R-410A Carrier. No pressure either way. We chose the AC replacement and the Carrier financing made it doable."
Tommy D.
Floresville
"AC was leaking water inside the house. Other guys said it was the evaporator coil and wanted to replace the whole indoor unit. Carnes diagnosed a clogged AC drain line, cleared it, done. Saved us thousands."
Nate G.
Seguin
"What sold me was that Clint answered his own phone. No call center, no runaround. Just a guy who knows AC and gives you a straight answer about repair versus replacement."
Mike & Lisa T.
San Antonio
"Moved to La Vernia from out of state and had no idea who to call for HVAC service. Neighbor in San Antonio recommended Carnes. Now I recommend them to everyone on our street."
Kristin & Paul E.
San Antonio
"Three companies told us our compressor was shot. Clint pulled gauges, ran the numbers, and showed us it was just low on refrigerant from a slow leak. Repaired the leak, recharged, done. Compressor was fine. Still is."
Vanessa O.
Floresville
"AC went out on a Saturday in San Antonio. Carnes was out in two hours. No weekend surcharge, no out-of-town dispatcher, no 'master tech' showing up later to push a replacement. Just a real local AC repair company."
The Holloway Family
San Antonio
"Outdoor unit was humming but the fan wasn't spinning. Turned out to be the run capacitor. Another HVAC company in La Vernia had told my dad it was the compressor and quoted him a full system replacement. Carnes fixed it in twenty minutes."
Bryan W.
Floresville
"Clean AC install. Tight line set, properly pitched condensate drain, labeled disconnects, breaker sized correctly, permit pulled, inspection passed first try. The kind of HVAC work you don't see anymore."
Robert M.
Floresville
"Asked Clint about heat pump versus straight cool for our La Vernia home. He spent twenty minutes on the phone walking through the trade-offs before I'd even scheduled. Didn't try to sell me up — just gave me the honest answer for our climate."
Megan H.
Seguin
"Financing through Carnes was painless — $0 down, manageable monthly payment, brand-new Carrier system. Less than what we'd been spending on emergency AC repairs every summer."
Gina B.
Seguin
"Heating quit on the coldest night of the year. Clint answered the phone himself at 9pm and had a tech at our Floresville house by 8am. Bad heat sequencer on the gas furnace. Quick repair, fair price."
Jessica L.
Floresville
"Vacation home in La Vernia sits empty most weekends. Their HVAC maintenance plan caught a slow refrigerant leak before we drove in to a hot house and a flooded ceiling."
Anthony M.
Floresville
"Two-story home in Seguin, upstairs would never get below 80°. Other AC company quoted us a second system. Carnes added a return, sealed leaky ducts, and balanced the airflow. Fixed for a fraction of what the second-system quote would have been."
George W.
Seguin
"AC was running but not cooling. the install crew found a dirty condenser coil packed with cottonwood and a slightly low refrigerant charge. Washed the coil, topped off, done. Whole house was cold within an hour."
Frank T.
San Antonio
"Our 1990s-era ductwork in San Antonio had separated in three places in the attic. Carnes resealed the whole system — the next CPS bill was noticeably lower and the upstairs actually cools now."
Steve B.
San Antonio
"Other contractor refused to repair our AC and only quoted full replacement. Carnes came out, replaced the failed run capacitor and a worn contactor, and the system has been fine ever since. They actually fix things instead of selling new units."
Wes C.
San Antonio
"I'm a single mom in San Antonio and I was bracing to get taken advantage of on AC repair. Clint just told me what was wrong, what it'd cost, and what I could put off until next year. No drama, no scare tactics."
The Patterson Family
San Antonio
"Hot bedrooms in our two-story La Vernia home for years. Carnes did a proper duct assessment, found undersized returns and leaks at the plenum, and fixed it. We'd been told for years it 'just is what it is.' It wasn't."
Tara F.
Floresville
"Got a second opinion after another big-name La Vernia HVAC company told us we 'needed' a $14K replacement. Carnes found a stuck reversing valve and a low charge. Repaired both. System still running fine three years later."
Patricia H.
Seguin
"Annual AC tune-up caught a weak capacitor and a dirty condenser coil before they failed in July. Cheap insurance — exactly what HVAC maintenance is supposed to be. The other company we used to use just topped off refrigerant and called it a day."
Heather A.
San Antonio
"Evaporator coil was iced over and the house wouldn't get below 82°. the tech found a slow refrigerant leak at the line set, repaired it, and recharged the system. Other La Vernia HVAC company had quoted a full AC replacement."
The Castillo Family
San Antonio
"Fan motor on the outdoor condenser seized in the middle of August. the install crew had the part on the truck and we were back up the same afternoon. Other AC repair companies in La Vernia were quoting two-week waits."
The Garcia Family
San Antonio
"Got three quotes for AC replacement in La Vernia. Carnes wasn't the cheapest but the quote was the most detailed — exact Carrier model number, line set, thermostat, permit, everything itemized. Other guys had vague 'good/better/best' sheets designed to push the most expensive option."
