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.

What Moves the Price
- The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability

- Night, weekend or holiday rates
- The diagnostic or service call fee
- Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty

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 whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
- Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
- If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
