"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."

Frank T.

Converse

"Blower motor in the attic gave out and the AC wouldn't push any air. Carnes diagnosed it, replaced the motor, and checked the static pressure on the ductwork while they were up there. Thorough work."

Patricia H.

Live Oak

"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."

George W.

Converse

"Evaporator coil was iced over and the house wouldn't get below 82°. their guy found a slow refrigerant leak at the line set, repaired it, and recharged the system. Other Universal City HVAC company had quoted a full AC replacement."

The Salinas Family

Converse

"AC stopped cooling on the Fourth of July weekend. Called Carnes for AC repair, their guy was at our Live Oak house in under two hours. Capacitor was bad — replaced it on the spot. Two other companies in Universal City had told us we needed a whole new AC unit. We didn't."

Cody H.

Live Oak

"Got a second opinion after another big-name Universal City 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."

Megan H.

Live Oak

"Thermostat was the actual problem, not the system. Other AC company in Universal City would've sold us a new control board. Carnes swapped the stat and we were done in 20 minutes."

Linda C.

Live Oak

"Heating quit on the coldest night of the year. Clint answered the phone himself at 9pm and had a tech at our Live Oak house by 8am. Bad heat sequencer on the gas furnace. Quick repair, fair price."

Ray & Debbie A.

Live Oak

"Vacation home in Universal City 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."

Karen M.

Converse

"Coil was frozen, no cold air. Two other companies in Universal City said we needed a new AC unit. Carnes found a clogged filter and a low refrigerant charge from a tiny line set leak. Repaired and recharged. System has run two summers since with zero issues."

Brian K.

Schertz

"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."

Bryan W.

Live Oak

"I'm a single mom in Schertz 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."

Jordan & Casey N.

Schertz

"Moved to Universal City from out of state and had no idea who to call for HVAC service. Neighbor in Schertz recommended Carnes. Now I recommend them to everyone on our street."

The Castillo Family

Schertz

"Crew that did our Carrier install put booties on, laid drop cloths, and vacuumed the hallway when they were done. Hauled the old AC unit and copper off without us asking. Little things matter."

Zach & Laura E.

Converse

"Outdoor unit was humming but the fan wasn't spinning. Turned out to be the run capacitor. Another HVAC company in Universal City had told my dad it was the compressor and quoted him a full system replacement. Carnes fixed it in twenty minutes."

Nate G.

Schertz

"Fan motor on the outdoor condenser seized in the middle of August. the tech had the part on the truck and we were back up the same afternoon. Other AC repair companies in Universal City were quoting two-week waits."

The Nguyen Family

Schertz

"Power flickered during a storm and the AC wouldn't turn on. Carnes replaced the surge-blown contactor and capacitor and installed a hard-wired surge protector on the disconnect. Smart preventive work."

Doug L.

Schertz

"Asked Clint about heat pump versus straight cool for our Universal City 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."

Danielle F.

Schertz

"Two-story home in Live Oak, 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."

The Jenkins Family

Live Oak

"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."

Marcus B.

Converse

"AC went out on a Saturday in Schertz. 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 Alvarez Family

Schertz

"Capacitor blew during a thunderstorm and the condenser wouldn't kick on. Carnes did the AC capacitor replacement the next morning and put a surge protector on the outdoor unit so it doesn't happen again."

Travis & Beth O.

Live Oak

"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."

Trevor R.

Converse

"Contactor was pitted and the AC wouldn't kick on. Quick repair from Carnes — they showed me the burned contacts so I'd know what they were charging me for. No upsell to a full HVAC replacement like the last company tried."

Kristin & Paul E.

Converse

"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."

Allison D.

Schertz

"Condensate drain line was clogged and water was dripping through our ceiling in Schertz. Carnes cleared the AC drain line, flushed it, and installed a float switch so it can't flood the house again. Honest work."
