Sizing a System for an Edinburg House
The two thousand square foot rule of thumb does not survive a Valley summer. A west facing wall, a low attic with little insulation or a lot of glass can push the same floor plan from three tons to four. A load calculation looks at the real house and gives a number you can defend, and it is the first thing we do before we write a quote.
Oversizing is the common mistake. A unit that is too big cools the air quickly, shuts off before it pulls out the humidity and leaves the house cool but damp. An undersized unit runs nonstop in July and still loses. Getting the size right is worth more than any feature on the brochure.
Replacing the Original System in an Older Edinburg Home
In older homes the new equipment is only part of the job. We look at the ductwork, the return air path and the attic, because a new condenser connected to leaking ducts will not cool the house any better than the old one did. Sometimes the right answer is a smaller repair to the duct system alongside the new unit.
Buying or Selling a Home in a Growing City
Edinburg's population grew about 39 percent between 2010 and 2020, and a lot of houses have changed hands since. If you are buying, ask how old the AC is. A system close to ten years old is worth pricing before closing, so you can negotiate with real numbers instead of guessing at a repair that has not happened yet.
If you are selling, a working system with paperwork helps a listing. Call and describe the house and we can talk through whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.
Commercial Rooftop Installation
Small offices and retail spaces in Edinburg often run packaged rooftop units. We install and replace them for comfort cooling. Tell us the tonnage on the nameplate, the roof access and how many zones the building has, and we will plan the visit. We do not install refrigeration for cold storage.

"Carlos came on a Friday, gave us a quote and said he could install the next day. Arrived on the scheduled time and 45 minutes later we had A/C, for the quoted price. I had some other people do some work for us and the final price was well above the quoted price."

"Our home system was over 10 years old and giving out every 6 months. It was time to replace it; Carlos and his son came over and replaced our HVAC system, very nice and knowledgeable."
Anthony Gonzalez
"After 11 months my two new HVAC units are still running perfectly and I am saving about 30% off of my monthly electric bill so they'll pay for themselves in about three or four years."

Edinburg AC Installation FAQs
How much does a new AC system cost in Edinburg?
It depends on the size, the efficiency and what the ducts need. We give a written quote after a walkthrough so you see the equipment and the labor separately.
What size AC do I need for my Edinburg house?
A load calculation answers that. Square footage alone is not enough, because insulation, windows, sun exposure and ductwork all change the answer.
What does the installation warranty cover?
One year on labor and ten years on parts for new installations. Keep the manufacturer's warranty paperwork with it.
Should I replace the whole system or just the outdoor unit?
If the indoor coil and outdoor unit are both old, a matched replacement usually works better and carries one warranty. If only one part has failed and the other is young, we will tell you.
Do you install commercial rooftop units in Edinburg?
Yes, for comfort cooling in offices and small retail. We do not install cold storage or walk in refrigeration.
