HVAC troubleshooting
Something's running wrong and nobody's told you why. I trace it back to the actual fault instead of guessing at parts.
- No cooling / weak airflow
- Unit short cycling
- Thermostat + control faults
Jose Teran, AC and electrical across west Houston. You hear what's actually wrong, and what it costs, before I pick up a tool. No upsell, no runaround.
Four service types, and that's the list on purpose. If your job needs a permit, a panel swap, or a full system install, I'll tell you and point you to someone set up for it.

Repairs on units that quit, plus the seasonal service that keeps a working system from becoming an August emergency.
Breakers that trip, outlets that died, lights that flicker. I find where the circuit is actually failing and explain it in plain words.
The short list of fixes that don't need a crew or a permit. Swaps, replacements, and the jobs a big company won't drive out for.
Your problem might not fit any of the boxes above. That's fine. Call me, tell me what it's doing, and I'll say straight off whether it's something I handle.
Electrical work is performed within the scope of a TDLR electrical apprentice license. Jobs that require a licensed electrical contractor get referred out. Ask and I'll tell you which one yours is.
Tell me the symptom and your address. Photos of the unit or the panel help a lot. I'll say straight up whether it's something I handle.
I test the system and find the fault. Then you get the cause, the fix, and what it costs, before I pick up a tool.
If it's in my scope, I do the work that day when parts allow. If it isn't, you get the honest reason and a name to call.
I spent four years at a Goya plant running and maintaining industrial machinery, working around electrical and mechanical systems every shift. Production equipment doesn't wait for you to look something up. You learn to read a system fast and find the fault that's actually causing the problem.
Before that I worked in Mexico, plus several more years in warehouse and industrial settings. I carry an HVAC license and an electrical apprentice license through TDLR, and EPA Section 608 certification for refrigerant work.
When you call, you get me. I speak English and Spanish, so nothing gets lost explaining what's wrong with your system or what it's going to take to fix it.
These four are home base. I'll travel 20 miles past them, so if you're close and not on the list, still worth a call.
Fastest way is the phone. If I'm on a job I'll call you back.
