In New Braunfels, your air conditioner works harder and longer than almost anywhere in the country. So one of the most common questions we hear is: should I repair this unit, or replace it?
What is the $5000 rule?
Multiply the age of your system by the estimated repair cost. If the result is over $5,000 — or if a single repair approaches 50% of the cost of a new system — replacement usually provides better long-term value. A $600 repair on a 12-year-old unit ($7,200) points to replacement; the same repair on a 4-year-old unit ($2,400) points to fixing it.
Other signs it's time
• Your system is more than 10–15 years old
• Recurring repairs over the last two summers
• Energy bills climbing without a change in usage
• Hot and cold spots your system can no longer even out

It was fast service and the technician was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained everything as he was working. I would recommend you to all my family and friends. Thanks again.
Our entire unit had to be replaced. Options were given to fit our needs with no sales pressure. We were told the work would be completed in one day and it was done true to their word. Their professionalism and expedience is beyond words. We are satisfied customers! Would highly recommend!
I had an issue with our AC unit and HomeFront sent Armando over. He was actually almost an hour early which is unheard of in this region. He was super nice and helpful and was mindful of our new carpet as well! Thank you guys!
Armando Alvarez is a sweet young man very knowledgeable in his work for central unit. He explained to me all my options. I am very satisfied with his work checking out my central unit. Thank you Armando and Chris
Very happy with the work and professionalism that HomeFront provided.
They were very quick to respond to my initial request, within the same day. Made an appointment for the following day, with a very flexible schedule. Their pricing was very fair for the quality of work.
Armando was great. He came to check our a/c unit same day. He was able to spot the problem, was very knowledgeable and gave plenty of information on how to solve the problem.
Definitely would recommend
Chris and his team gave us a fair price and a very professional installation. I look forward to a long partnership with Homefront and their follow care has been great.
I’m only allowed to give 5 stars. I would give 100 if I could. Home Front. From start to finish did a remarkable job. Quality service with quality products. As a veteran and Home Front having veterans on staff. They all were very respectful. If you need any HVAC work done I highly recommend these professionals.
I had LG mini splits that were failing after just 12 years in service. I knew that I wanted Mitsubishi but also wanted ideas about a better approach. Just as we were getting bids to replace the multi system, it failed and we were left with only one unit in the main living area.
