AC unit is old and might be on its last leg. Not working again. Any trustworthy companies out there?

Seven years ago I used Climate Express out of New Braunfels. I was pretty happy with them. I have them doing annuals on my system right now.

We have used Wilks HVAC for 10yrs or so and have been very pleased with their service

Wilks is who we use and the owner or at least one of them is also an Aggie. Have had different technicians come out and they are all top notch. Great service.

Thought i'd add Eric with Blue-Green Air to the list. Came out within a couple hours of calling and did a good job servicing our upstairs unit.

Just curious who you used and how much it ran you. Our rent house a/c went out this evening and I'm guessing we need a new unit.

Ike's Air. I'd be glad to help any Ag's out. All Ag's get the anti-longhorn discount as well!

Bumping for any further recommendations and to ask a few questions. Saw a lot of people recommending Rosenberg on Nextdoor so I had them out today. May have Wilks out too though after reading this thread.

They are saying we have issues with the board in our furnace (not always sending the signal to kick on the blower to move the warm air). No issues with the A/C so far. Part would be ~$1,200-1,400, but the system is older. They recommend to at least do a full furnace replacement at ~$5,400 due to the age of the system.

Also got quoted for full system replacement including outside unit. I'm always leery when people start adding more to a job, but our system is 17-18 years old. Should we just focus on replacing what isn't working or just pony up the money and and deal with everything at once?

REFERENCE INFO
  • House is ~2,000 sqft. Haven't had any other issues really with hvac in the 2 years we've owned it.
  • Outside AC Unit: Trane XR13 3.5-ton from 2008 (17 years old)
  • Furnace: Trane/American Standard (not sure which type) from 2006 (19 years old)

Also, the quote they provided included Lennox units, but it seems like online preferences leaned more toward Rheem/Ruud or Trane/American Standard. Can ask them to update with different equipment depending on what recommendations y'all may have.
