Start with Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (A/C contractor license), and ask the provider for its licence number and proof of insurance.

Signs include a humming outdoor unit that does not start, a fan that needs a push, or a unit that clicks. Only a technician should test or replace it because capacitors can hold a charge.

Topping up refrigerant without fixing the leak only buys time. The right fix is to find and repair the leak, then recharge the system to specification.

Often under an hour, depending on access and the complexity. The provider will explain what they find and what is needed.

Common causes are a dirty filter, a failed capacitor or contactor, a frozen coil, low refrigerant and a dirty condenser coil. A diagnostic visit tests each in order and tells you which applies.

No. If there is ice on the unit or lines, turn the cooling off and set the fan to on so the ice melts. Running a frozen or failing system can damage the compressor.

Ask the technician for the system's age, its refrigerant and the likely expense of repair versus replacement. Once a system is older than about 12 to 15 years and has a major failure, comparing it with replacement is often worthwhile.

Go to the coolest room, drink water, look in on vulnerable people and call for service. Heat illness calls for emergency help.

It depends on the provider. This website makes no promise of after-hours service, so say the problem is urgent on the call and ask what can be arranged.

Ask the technician for a short-term fix and a longer-term plan that covers replacement options.

Safe checks are the thermostat, filter, registers and clearing debris from the outdoor unit. Leave electrical and refrigerant work to a certified technician.

It varies with the provider and with demand, and this website makes no promise about arrival time.

After-hours visits can carry a higher charge with some providers, so get the total and the assessment charge before you agree.

For parts, manufacturers typically give several years of coverage, sometimes more if the unit is registered, and the installer covers labor. Get both documented in writing.

Confirm that the thermostat works and the drain line flows, that the system cools evenly and that nothing is missing from the paperwork.

One or two days is typical for a replacement; new ductwork or an addition will take longer.

Often yes. Ask the provider who pulls it and how inspections are handled.

Usually it is one of these: low refrigerant, a compressor that has failed, a dirty coil or incorrect thermostat settings.

Yes, because it restricts airflow and can freeze the coil.

Start with the breaker and the disconnect; should it still fail to start, ask for service.

Yes. Dead batteries or wrong settings can stop the system.

Depends on the cause, the age and the warranty.

Not until the leak has been found and repaired.

Often 12 to 15 years, longer with good maintenance and shorter in harsh environments.

Often yes for a simple part. For a major failure, compare repair and replacement.

Often, when it leaks. The technician can compare the options.

Mismatched equipment often performs poorly. Ask the contractor about matching the coil.

A working system matters, but replacement may not be needed. Ask a real estate professional.

Line up the scopes, the equipment, the warranties and the load calculation.

It varies with insulation, windows, ducts and climate, so no single figure is reliable.

A calculation needs details about the house. Ask a contractor for Manual J.

A fresh load calculation will answer that.

Request a calculation, since the house may have changed.
