Heating & Air Conditioning Services Built for Texas
San Antonio's climate puts HVAC systems through extreme stress — from 100-degree summers to hard winter freezes. We handle every service your home needs, done right the first time.
System not cooling? Warm air from the vents, short-cycling, or a unit that runs constantly are signs something is wrong. We diagnose and repair all makes and models — fast, with upfront pricing before any work starts.
Systems over 10–12 years old with repeated failures are typically costing you more in repairs than a replacement would. We provide a proper Manual J load calculation to size your new system correctly for your home.
New construction or full system upgrade — we install complete HVAC systems with proper refrigerant charging, duct evaluation, and permit coordination. All installs meet current Texas energy code requirements.
Furnace not firing? Heat pump blowing cold air? San Antonio winters are short but they can be sharp. We service gas furnaces, heat pumps, and electric air handlers across all major brands.
Leaking or undersized duct systems reduce efficiency, raise energy bills, and create hot and cold spots throughout your home. We evaluate, seal, and replace ductwork as part of complete system installs.
Whole-home air purification, dehumidifiers, and ventilation systems improve the air your family breathes every day. Humidity control is especially important in San Antonio's climate during high-heat months.
Most homeowners keep repairing a system that's already past its useful life. Each repair buys a little more time — but the underlying problem doesn't go away. Knowing when to replace is one of the most valuable decisions a homeowner can make.
System is 10–15 years old and repairs are adding up
Energy bills rising despite no changes in usage habits
Rooms that never reach the right temperature
System uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out, no longer available)
A single repair costs more than one-third of a new system
Best for systems under 8 years old with an isolated issue. We diagnose the exact failure and fix it — nothing more, nothing sold that isn't needed.

Why Good Times HVAC
A Licensed San Antonio HVAC Contractor You Can Verify
San Antonio has no shortage of HVAC companies. Most will show up, give you a number, and push a sale. We take a different approach — diagnosis first, scope of work in writing, no work until you approve it.
Texas HVAC License — VerifiableWe carry a valid Texas HVAC Contractor license. You can verify it. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Manual J Load Calculation on Every ReplacementOversized systems short-cycle, fail early, and don't dehumidify properly. We size your system to your home — not to what's in the truck.
Permit-Compliant InstallationsWe pull permits where required and complete inspections. Your system is installed correctly — and your home warranty stays intact.
Family-Owned — San Antonio BasedWe live and work here. Our reputation in this community matters more than any individual job.
AC replacement in San Antonio typically ranges from $3,500 to $8,500 depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER2), and installation complexity. The range is wide because homes vary significantly — square footage, duct condition, and whether electrical or structural modifications are needed. A proper Manual J load calculation is required to size the system correctly. Any contractor giving you a price without calculating your home's load is guessing.
Yes. Most HVAC system replacements and new installations in San Antonio require a permit through the City's Development Services Department. Good Times HVAC coordinates permit applications and scheduling inspections as part of our installation process. If a contractor tells you permits aren't necessary for a full system swap, that's a red flag.
In San Antonio's climate, a minimum 15.2 SEER2 is federally required for new residential installations. For homes that run AC heavily from April through October — which is most of San Antonio — a 17 to 20 SEER2 system typically delivers a faster return on investment through lower monthly energy costs. We'll show you the math before you decide.
Most HVAC systems in San Antonio last 12 to 16 years. Texas heat and extended cooling seasons — often 7 months or more — accelerate wear on compressors, capacitors, and contactors. Systems that weren't properly sized at installation tend to fail earlier. If your system is over 10 years old and has needed more than one significant repair, it's worth getting a replacement estimate.
Yes. Good Times HVAC provides emergency HVAC service in San Antonio and the surrounding areas. When your system fails in the middle of summer, call (210) 760-6407. We respond fast and tell you up front what the repair will cost before we start.
