AC repair is the highest-volume local search term in the demand check behind this site, and it is also the smaller ticket. Most bought HVAC leads in published Houston datasets are repair calls, not replacements. A repair may be the right answer. It can also be a short-term fix on a system that is due for replacement. Ask the visiting licensed contractor to say which one they think it is, and why, in a written estimate.
