Tom Green County had 31 hail days and 53 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 4 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage.

Symptoms Worth a Service Call

  • The breaker trips when the AC kicks on
  • The system cycles on and off every few minutes
  • The outdoor unit hums, but the fan doesn't spin
  • The AC runs, but the air coming out is warm
  • Ice on the refrigerant lines or the indoor coil

What Moves the Price

  • The service call or diagnostic fee
  • Refrigerant type and how many pounds it takes
  • Whether the equipment sits in a tight attic or on a roof
  • The part: a capacitor costs a fraction of a fan motor, and a compressor costs far more than both
  • Nights, weekends and holidays

We kept the national figures close to unchanged for San Angelo using local income, home values and the equipment size this climate needs. Real bids can still come in outside the range, so collect three written quotes.

What the Quote Should Cover

  • Replacing the failed part
  • Clearing the drain line if it's clogged
  • Checking refrigerant pressures
  • A test run
  • Diagnosis and electrical testing

Texas Licensing and Efficiency Rules

Texas is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Texas license or registration number before the visit.

Before You Hire

  • If the compressor is gone on an older unit, get a replacement quote before you pay for the repair.
  • Swap the air filter and check the breaker before you call anyone.
  • If you see ice, shut the system off. Running it frozen can kill the compressor.
