What is included in a TruFlo AC repair visit?
AC repair in Houston from TruFlo includes a thorough inspection of the compressor, coils, refrigerant levels, electrical components, and the rest of the system. Certified AC technicians diagnose the problem, explain what is wrong in plain English, and provide an honest repair or replacement recommendation based on the system's actual condition.
Air conditioning systems are complex, and when Houston heat hits, a failing AC is more than an inconvenience. TruFlo's certified AC technicians diagnose problems fast, explain what's wrong in plain English, and give you an honest recommendation: repair or replace, based on your system's actual condition, not a sales quota.
Most problems can be fixed affordably, and we only recommend replacement when a repair would cost more than 50% of a replacement or the system is at the end of its life. A technician confirms that on site. We carry quality parts on our trucks to fix common failures the same day.
Our $65 diagnostic fee covers a thorough inspection of your entire AC system: compressor, coils, refrigerant levels, electrical components, and more. When you approve the repair on the same visit, that $65 is credited toward your total. No hidden charges, no surprises.
Houston families have trusted TruFlo for over 20 years for exactly this: honest HVAC service that puts your comfort first.

Yes. Calls are answered around the clock, and we dispatch technicians 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Same-day service is the norm across Greater Houston. Call us any time at (713) 545-8062, and we will give you an honest arrival window based on current calls and your location.
Coverage is lifetime on parts and labor for customers with a preventative maintenance contract. Without a preventative maintenance contract, coverage is a 2-year labor warranty and a 1 to 5 year parts warranty. Warranty details are included in your written contract.
As a rule of thumb, replacement starts to make sense when a repair would cost more than 50% of a replacement, and a technician confirms that on site. Age, remaining parts warranty, repair history and how well the system still cools all count. A technician walks through them with you on site, and the full breakdown is on our FAQ page.
Annual tune-up before summer keeps your system efficient and prevents breakdowns. Maintenance typically includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant, and inspecting electrical components.
