Air Conditioning Repair in Waco, TX

Honest diagnosis, a flat price before we start, and a technician who’s already in McLennan County. Serving Waco, Temple, Belton and McGregor.

 

When the AC quits in a Waco July, you don’t want a sales pitch — you want a technician in the driveway today. On Point Service Company has been repairing residential and light-commercial air conditioning across Waco, Temple, Belton and the McGregor area for years, and we run the same way every time: diagnose honestly, quote before we touch anything, and fix it right the first time.

We’re a local, owner-run company based in McGregor, fifteen minutes west of Waco. That matters in summer: our trucks are already in McLennan County, not dispatched from Dallas or Austin, so same-day service is normal for us, not a premium add-on.

Same-day in most cases

Call before noon and we can usually be there the same day across Waco, Hewitt, Woodway and Robinson.

 

Upfront, flat pricing

You approve the repair price before work starts. No hourly clock, no surprise line items.

 

All major brands

Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard, Amana, York, Daikin and more.

 

AC problems we fix every week in Waco

Central Texas systems run hard from May to October. These are the calls we get most, and what is usually behind them.

AC running but not cooling

Most often a dirty filter choking airflow, a frozen evaporator coil, or low refrigerant from a slow leak. We check airflow and pressures first, because adding refrigerant to a leaking system just buys you a few weeks. Why your AC blows warm air →

AC won't turn on

A tripped breaker, a bad capacitor, a failed contactor, or a float switch shutting the system off because the drain line is clogged. Capacitors and contactors are the most common parts we replace in summer — usually a one-visit fix.

Ice on the lines or coil

A frozen system almost always means restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Turn the system off and the fan on, and call us — running it frozen can damage the compressor, the most expensive part in the unit.

 

Water leaking around the indoor unit

Usually a blocked condensate drain line or a cracked drain pan. Cheap to fix, expensive to ignore — the water ends up in your ceiling. AC leaking water: what to do →

Uneven cooling, hot rooms

Duct leaks, undersized returns, or a system that was never balanced. Sometimes the fix is a duct repair rather than an AC repair. Uneven cooling explained →

Short-cycling or loud operation

Turning on and off every few minutes points to an oversized unit, a refrigerant issue, or a failing thermostat. Grinding or squealing usually means a motor or fan bearing on its way out.

We also repair light-commercial equipment — walk-in coolers, commercial refrigeration and laundry — for restaurants and small businesses. Commercial appliance repair →

 

What an AC repair costs in Waco

We don’t quote repairs over the phone — we’d be guessing, and you’d be paying for the guess. What we can tell you is how repairs tend to fall, so you know what to expect before we arrive. Our diagnostic visit is a flat fee verify amount and is credited toward the repair if you go ahead with it.

RepairTypical costWhat drives it
Capacitor, contactor, thermostat, drain line clearingLowCommon parts, usually under an hour
Blower or condenser fan motor, refrigerant leak repair + rechargeModeratePart cost, refrigerant type (R-410A vs. R-22)
Evaporator coil, compressorHighMajor component; we’ll compare against replacement cost honestly

On systems over 12–15 years old with a major failure, we’ll show you the repair-vs-replace math rather than sell you a repair you’ll regret. See AC replacement and our financing options.

How a service call works

You call or book online.

Tell us what the system is doing. We'll give you a window — same day when we can.

We diagnose the whole system.

not just the symptom: filter, coil, refrigerant pressures, electrical, drain, thermostat.

You get a flat price before we start.

Approve it, or don't — no pressure.

We fix it, test it, and show you.

Supply and return temperatures, pressures, and what to watch for.

Emergency and after-hours AC repair

Our regular hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. When it’s 103° and the house is climbing past 85, that isn’t always soon enough — call us and ask about same-day or after-hours availability confirm emergency policy. Tell us if anyone in the home is elderly, an infant, or medically vulnerable to heat; those calls go to the front of the line.

Commercial air conditioning

We also service rooftop units, split systems and walk-in cooler equipment for restaurants, shops, offices and churches around Waco. Commercial HVAC services →

 

Why air conditioners fail in Central Texas

A Waco system does more work in one summer than a Midwest system does in three. From late May the condenser runs 12 to 16 hours a day in 95–105° heat, pulling in dust, cottonwood fluff and lawn clippings. Three things follow:

 

Heat stress on electrical parts

Capacitors and contactors are rated for heat, but a condenser sitting in full afternoon sun on the west side of a house can run 30° hotter than the air. They fail early. It’s the most common “AC won’t start” repair we do, and it’s also the cheapest — which is why we don’t want you replacing a unit over one.

Dirty coils and restricted airflow

Our soil is fine and dusty, and the outdoor coil clogs fast. A dirty condenser coil can’t reject heat, pressures climb, and the compressor works harder than it should. A dirty indoor coil or neglected filter does the same thing from the other side. A spring coil cleaning prevents a July breakdown more reliably than anything else.

Drain lines and humidity

Texas humidity means your evaporator coil pulls gallons of water out of the air every day. Algae grows in the drain line, the line clogs, and either the float switch shuts the system down or the pan overflows into the attic. We clear and treat the line on every service call.

Annual maintenance — coil cleaning, refrigerant check, electrical test, drain treatment — catches most of this before it becomes an emergency. Ask about a tune-up when you call; it’s the cheapest visit we make. Heating season questions? See furnace repair.

 

Our repair warranty

Parts we install carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and our labor is warrantied confirm term, e.g. 1 year. If a repair we made fails inside that window, we come back and make it right at no charge. We’ll write the terms on your invoice so there’s nothing to remember.

Thinking about a second opinion?

If another company has told you that you need a new system, we’re happy to look before you spend five figures. A surprising number of “it needs replacing” diagnoses turn out to be a coil cleaning, a refrigerant leak, or a failed part. We’ll tell you honestly if they were right — and if they were, we’ll quote the replacement too. Read when to get an HVAC second opinion.

I said I’ll pay extra I really need my fridge it’s been over two weeks and I can’t keep food ICE or nothing at this point and it’s ridiculous she said too bad!

  • Fast response fast fix but the parts were under $20 and the bill was $290 . I know a company has to make money to stay in business but I think its was a little steep.

  • Y'all, On Point Service Company saved the day again! My A/C has been out. It just wasn't cooling. I emailed Tara yesterday afternoon and she sent a technician out this morning! Josh, the technician, was friendly and diagnosed the problem quickly, quoted a price and got right to work! He had to pull the A/C apart, clean it and put it back together and did it in 3 hours! The price I was quoted is what I paid. No extra fees or mystery charges! I will continue to used this local company!

  • This team has been amazing! They’ve done work for my on several different appliances for me and always do a fantastic job! Show up when they say they will, professional, and fair pricing. What’s also important to me is explaining the process and what needs to be fixed. I like to ask questions and the techs are always patient with explanations!

  • The apartment complex we live at made the first contact attempt. Still, every interaction was pleasant and professional, and they put in every effort to get the AC up and running, which, in TX summer, was greatly appreciated! We will definitely remember this when we move to our own place.
