Air Conditioning Services
for Alamo Heights Homes
Honeycomb Heating & Cooling provides reliable air conditioning services to homeowners in Alamo Heights, TX (78209). Whether your system needs a repair, a tune-up, or a full replacement, our licensed team (TACLA140435E) is experienced with the demands San Antonio’s climate puts on residential HVAC systems — and the specific challenges of Alamo Heights’ older home stock.
Alamo Heights averages the same 220+ sunny days per year as the rest of San Antonio, and July highs regularly exceed 98°F — AC systems here run 3,000+ hours annually vs. a national average of ~1,000. But Alamo Heights’ 1920s–1950s homes add unique constraints: low attic clearances, original plaster walls, cast-iron ductwork in older properties along Broadway, Austin Highway, and New Braunfels Avenue, and restricted equipment access that requires technicians who know these homes specifically.
Every visit starts with a full system inspection. We walk you through what we find, explain your options, and let you decide how you’d like to move forward — no pressure, no surprise charges. CPS Energy SaveNow rebates are available for qualifying high-efficiency replacements in Alamo Heights; Honeycomb handles all rebate paperwork. Honeycomb is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ Rating.

Ductless AC — Alamo Heights
Alamo Heights’ humidity accelerates evaporator coil fouling. We clean and treat coils to restore efficiency. Also install ductless mini-splits for room additions and casitas common in Alamo Heights’ 1940s–1950s bungalows — where adding traditional ductwork isn’t feasible. Indoor air quality products (Air Scrubbers, purifiers) range $700–$1,500.
Indoor Air Quality Products $700–$1,500
Indoor Air Quality — Alamo Heights
San Antonio’s pollen seasons and the oak canopy that defines Alamo Heights’ streets can affect the air quality inside your home. We install air purifiers, air scrubbers, and filtration upgrades that work alongside your existing AC system. Cedar fever season (Dec–Feb) is particularly harsh in the 78209 area.
Indoor Air Quality Products $700–$1,500
Duct Services — Alamo Heights
Leaky or damaged ductwork reduces your AC system’s efficiency and causes uneven cooling throughout your Alamo Heights home. Many 78209 properties still have original 1940s–1950s ductwork that is decades overdue for inspection. We inspect, seal, and repair ducts to help your system perform the way it’s designed to. Leaky ducts waste 20–30% of cooled air, directly inflating your CPS Energy bill.
Duct Services Range $400–$6,500

Smart thermostat installation and repair for Alamo Heights homes. Includes free Nuve smart thermostat (valued $249) with qualifying AC installations. Smart thermostat installation ranges $800–$1,500 including setup and configuration. Especially useful in Alamo Heights’ multi-zone older homes where manual thermostats miss hot spots.
Smart Thermostat Install $800 – $1,500
Heat Pumps — Alamo Heights
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating for Alamo Heights homes in a single system. We install and service heat pump units for homeowners looking for an energy-efficient alternative to traditional AC and heating setups.

CPS Energy rebates apply to qualifying heat pump installations.

What Our Customers Say
I was really stressed about our AC issue today, but they took care of everything from diagnosis to repair in one visit. The technician was incredibly thorough, explained everything clearly, and spent nearly five hours working on our unit to make sure it was properly fixed.
I truly appreciate the professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail. Especially thankful to the technician ( Javier Almarza ) for not rushing the job and for taking the time to get everything right. We’re so grateful for the help, especially in this heat!
I used the tune up service offered by Honeycomb. So far my experience has been great! Stephen was on time, they have a nifty feature where you can track your driver! You receive text alerts that keep with every step of the service! Awesome concierge service! Stephen L. explained every detail of maintenance clearly and concisely. He gave me the best options to resolve my problem according to my budget. Later a manager called and doubled checked to make sure all was up to my satisfaction.
Fast, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. Aaron B. arrived at my home within an hour of my call and quickly had my AC running again. He took the time to clearly explain everything, answered all of my questions, and provided helpful insight into my system. I was so impressed that I signed up for their membership program, which will help extend the life of my unit. Before leaving, Aaron performed a full walkthrough and showed me the recommended repairs, clearly outlining what was urgent and what could wait. Excellent service from start to finish.

Can you install AC in older historic homes in Alamo Heights?
Yes — it’s one of our specialties. Alamo Heights homes built in the 1920s–1950s present unique installation challenges: low attic clearances, original plaster walls, cast-iron ductwork, and restricted equipment access. Aaron Botts and the Honeycomb team are experienced with these constraints. We use low-impact installation methods that preserve the architectural character of Alamo Heights historic homes while delivering modern cooling performance.
What SEER rating do I need for Alamo Heights’ climate?
For Alamo Heights’ 100+ day heat season with July highs regularly exceeding 98°F, we recommend a minimum SEER2 rating of 15–16. AC systems in Alamo Heights run 3,000+ hours annually — roughly 3x the national average. Higher efficiency ratings directly reduce your CPS Energy bills during months of near-continuous operation. Amana and Goodman units Honeycomb installs offer SEER2 ratings up to 20+.
Are there CPS Energy rebates for AC replacement in Alamo Heights?
Yes. Alamo Heights homeowners are in CPS Energy’s service territory and qualify for SaveNow rebates on high-efficiency AC replacements. Standard efficiency: up to $115/ton. High efficiency: up to $175/ton. Ultra-high efficiency: up to $310/ton. Plus a $150 Smart Home Bonus for qualifying thermostats. Honeycomb handles all AHRI certification and rebate paperwork so you leave nothing on the table. Call (726) 233-6044 to find out what your home qualifies for.
Do you offer flat-rate quotes before work starts in Alamo Heights?
Yes — always. We quote the full job at a flat rate before touching anything. No hourly billing, no surprise fees. The price you approve is the final price on your invoice. Our $75 diagnostic fee applies to repair visits and is waived for Comfy Club members. Free estimates for new AC installations in Alamo Heights homes.
Should I repair or replace my AC in Alamo Heights?
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair cost is under 50% of replacement cost, repair usually makes financial sense. If the system is 12–15+ years old, has needed multiple repairs, or can’t maintain comfortable temperatures during Alamo Heights’ peak summer heat, replacement is often the better investment. Many older Alamo Heights homes have original ductwork that should be assessed alongside any new unit — Honeycomb provides honest, no-pressure estimates for both.
What is included in an AC tune-up in Alamo Heights?
Honeycomb’s $58 AC tune-up (promotional rate, reg. $89) includes a full system inspection, refrigerant level check, evaporator and condenser coil assessment, electrical connection inspection, drain line check, thermostat calibration, photo documentation of all findings, and a written performance report. Keeps your Alamo Heights system ready for the 100-day heat season. Comfy Club members ($19–$29/month) receive two tune-ups per year at no additional charge.
