It short-cycles, wastes energy and leaves rooms clammy. About 26,000 households here own their home, 83.3% of the occupied total. Homes here have a median value of $283,700 and households a median income of $114,443. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Harris County had 28 hail days and 44 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 2 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. Harris County also had 9 tornado days in that period.

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). Most repairs don't need a permit. Anyone who opens the refrigerant circuit does need EPA Section 608 certification, and in Texas the company should carry a state license or registration. Ask for both.
Before You Hire
- Ask what the emergency fee is before the truck is sent.
- If the CO alarm goes off, get everyone outside and call 911 or the gas company before you call an HVAC company.
- Maintenance plans often put members first in line for emergency calls.
