The Sizing Rule In San Antonio
San Antonio's residential code (2024 IRC Section M1401.3, adopted unamended by City Code Sec. 10-36) requires heating and cooling equipment to be sized per ACCA Manual S from building loads calculated per ACCA Manual J or another approved method.

The City of San Antonio adopted the 2024 International Residential Code by Ordinance 2025-01-30-0075, passed January 30, 2025 and effective May 1, 2025.

A Record Of What Went In
When we install equipment, we can give you an Installation & Warranty Record. It lists the model and serial numbers, the install date and the paperwork.
It also lists the manufacturer's warranty terms and any registration deadline. The record shown here is a sample, not a customer's.

System Replacement Questions
What Size System Do I Need?
A load calculation for the house answers that, not square footage alone.
San Antonio's code requires one before equipment is sized.
What System Sizes Can You Install?
A Class B license covers systems up to 25 tons of cooling capacity or 1.5 million Btu per hour of heating output — every residential and light-commercial system.
Our license, TACLB52456E, is a Class B license.
Is The 25C Credit Still Available?
The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C) is not allowed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
Will You Also Price A Repair?
Yes, ask for both prices in writing and compare them on paper.
Can I Pay For It Monthly?
You can apply online with our financing partner before we meet.
