Air Conditioning Repair & Installation in Cinco Ranch, TX
Cinco Ranch was a community before Texas was a republic, so you might be surprised to learn that Cinco Ranch’s housing stock is relatively new. Most homes were built between 1990 and 1999. But even newer homes need maintenance and repairs, and that especially applies to your HVAC system. The average HVAC system can last between 10 and 20 years, so if your home has its original heating and cooling units, you’re likely due for replacement.
Air conditioning is not a luxury here in Cinco Ranch, Texas. It’s vital to our health. The very least you should expect from your HVAC system is clean, comfortable air delivery.

How to Know When Your HVAC Needs to Be Replaced
Furnaces and air conditioners are designed to last for many years. But any equipment with moving parts needs maintenance and eventually replacement. Signs your HVAC system needs replacement include:
- Age: If your HVAC system is over 10 years old, you may need to start budgeting for a replacement unit. You don’t want to wait for an emergency repair, which can be expensive and stressful. With a new unit, your monthly energy costs will be lower, and you’ll get more mileage out of your system.
- Comfort: If you’ve noticed:
- Muggy, uncomfortable air
- No or little air coming out of vents
- Noises
- Odors
- Too hot/too cold rooms
- Your thermostat doesn’t seem to “keep up”
- Repairs: If you’ve already had one or more repairs this year, you may want to cut your losses and invest in a new, high-efficiency HVAC replacement. Energy savings may be more substantial than you think.
IAQ (indoor air quality) is more important than ever before. Don’t compromise your health, especially if you share your home with infants or elderly or chronically ill family members. Ask about our IAQ services.

Why DIY HVAC Installation Is Not Recommended
A do-it-yourself HVAC installation is a bad idea. It’s dangerous, complicated, and requires skills you probably don’t have. It also requires tools you may not have.
Horizon Air Solutions Texas professionals are NATE-certified and receive regular technical training. We’re eager to share what we learn with you because when you know more, you make better decisions.
Only licensed HVAC contractors can work on heating and cooling systems in Texas, and EPA Section 608 certification is required to work with air conditioning units. Did you know if property damage occurs from a DIY installation, your insurance can deny coverage? You may also void your unit’s warranty. It’s just not worth it.
You can’t afford to take a chance on losing AC during one of our dangerously hot days. And after the record-breaking winter of 2021, keeping your heating system running efficiently has gained new respect. If your home or office needs a new HVAC unit, money shouldn’t be a factor. Flexible financing options are available, subject to approved credit.

How do I know when it's time to replace my furnace?
Without maintenance, your HVAC system will last about 10 years. If you’ve recently had two or more repairs to your furnace, boiler, or heat pump, it’s time to replace your heating system. A heating unit is a big financial investment. Fall furnace maintenance saves money by keeping your system running more efficiently for longer.
The winter storm of 2021 is proof that we should keep our heating systems in good condition!
If you have questions about heating system maintenance, call (346) 988-2977 or contact Horizon Air Solutions.
If your AC breaks and it’s more than 90 degrees outside, that’s an emergency. If your boiler, furnace, or heating system breaks and it’s 40 degrees or below, that’s an emergency too.
Signs to look for include:
- Air blows cool when you need warm air.
- HVAC system won’t turn on.
- If your heating unit turns on and off, this is called short-cycling, and it’s an emergency in minus 40-degree weather.
- Noises (clicking, clunking) can indicate an emergency.
- Odd smell — if it’s the odor of burning plastic/electronics, don’t delay. If you smell gas, call your utility company, then call us ASAP.
- Puddles or drips under your heating unit can be a frozen coil or refrigerant leak.
- You suspect you have a furnace carbon monoxide leak:
- Brown/yellow stains around the pilot light area of the unit.
- Pilot light keeps blowing out.
- You notice a gas-like exhaust smell.
If you didn’t schedule fall heating maintenance, it’s not uncommon to smell burning dust the first time you turn on your heating unit. Odors you should be concerned about are:
- Burning plastic/electrical: Turn off your heating system immediately and call Horizon Air for emergency heating repair.
- Chemical/formaldehyde: A crack in the heat exchanger can cause this odor; it’s an emergency.
- Lingering odors: We have several solutions for “bad air.” The overwhelming smell of cooking grease, cigarette smoke, or pet urine isn’t an emergency, but it isn’t healthy, either. Schedule an indoor air quality assessment.
- Metallic: A heating unit component may be overheating. Turn the unit off and call us.
- Mold/mildew or “dirty socks”: This is not an emergency, but it’s a health risk. Schedule an HVAC inspection.
- Rotten eggs: This may indicate a gas leak. Turn off your heating unit, open windows, and call your utility company. Then call Horizon Air.
- Sewage: This is dangerous. It means a sewage line is leaking into some area of your heating system. Call us, but we may advise you to call a plumber before scheduling an emergency repair.
- Smoke: Turn off your heating system and call us ASAP.
