Common Questions from San Marcos Homeowners

Annual professional maintenance prevents 80% of emergency calls and costs far less than emergency repairs.
What if my system fails during a heat wave?
We prioritize vulnerable customers and elderly residents. San Marcos heat waves are dangerous – we respond as fast as possible.
Should I turn my system off if something seems wrong?
If you hear loud noises, smell gas, or see sparks – yes, shut it off immediately and call us.
Do you charge extra for after-hours emergency service?
Yes, but we’re transparent about pricing upfront. Most San Marcos families find emergency comfort worth the premium.
What constitutes an HVAC emergency?
No heat when it’s under 50°F, no AC when it’s over 85°F, gas smells, electrical sparking, or water leaks in San Marcos.
What should I do if I smell gas near my furnace?
Leave immediately, don’t touch electrical switches, and call the gas company from outside. Never investigate gas leaks yourself.
