"The dryer went out on Sunday, and after researching it myself, I suspected it to be the thermal fuse.  The disassebly of the dryer just to get to the part was more than I wanted to tackle myself, so we relented and found the rebate offer for Next Service online. We were given recommendations from two others who had used them for repairs, and were given great feedback.  The service was requested later Sunday afternoon.
Monday morning I recieved notification from Next Service that their first availability was Tuesday afternoon, which worked for our schedule.  After numerous emails back and forth, the appointment was confirmed.  I had requested a call before the technician arrived to ensure someone would be home, and recieved that Tuesday afternoon, 20 minutes before Azael arrived.
Azael arrived to our home, was very receptive and informative after researching the issue.  He explained his findings in detail, even helped in confirming parts online and comparing pricing between what it would cost to order the part myself, or to have him do the installation for us.  Unfortunately, the control board is the most expensive component to replace on a dryer, but the price quote we were given to have it repaired that same afternoon was only $75.00 more than me ordering it, then doing it myself after the part arrived. We decided to go on the side of convenience, and requested he proceed with the repair.  Azael went to their warehouse, retrieved the parts needed, returned approximately 30 minutes later, and performed the repair shortly after.  He showed us the old control board he replaced, pointing out the burn marks made when it sparked, and went over the warranty for the service and part.
Since, we've used the dryer many times, and it works as expected.  Though it was much more expensive than I originally hoped, if I'm needing to pay someone to do the repairs I cannot do myself, then I would hope for the experience we received by Next Service.  It is definitely a company I would use again, if needed, and highly recommend it to others.

"Hi everyone I've been meaning to post about my experience of replacing my 3 HVAC systems over the summer. I have a really old home that had 3 HVAC systems that were between 18-25 years old each. Each slowly failed over the summer one by one requiring me to replace them all. They all ran on the old R22 refridgerant which is unbelievably expensive to refill locally unless you buy it online. We had gotten some bids last year 2017 and were quoted 25k-30k by different companies. We needed to replace a 2 ton, 2.5 ton, and 3.5 tons HVAC system. This past summer I took 4 bids on a Friday. I requested bids for the lowest cost system at 14 SEER. ARS Rescue Scooter gave me a bid $19990 for 14 SEER Carrier Sears gave me a bid of $21113 for 14 SEER Kenmore Abacaus gave me a bid of $28000 for 14 SEER Church gave me a bid of $30412 for 14 SEER Trane I'm probably similar to everyone else as this is not my area of expertise and I rely on other people to give me a fair bid, relying that they're being truthful and fair. That first day all of these people continued to hover in my home hoping to be the last one to give their sales pitch. They all tried the pressure tactic that if I didn't sign that day they wouldn't be able to guarantee that they could install it this week. It felt very similar to buying a used car and incredibly annoying. They all also said if I found a better price they would match it. I took the weekend to think it over and did some research. Turns out the HVAC units themselves only run $2000-$4000 each depending on what brand at 14 SEER. Therefore it should have only run about $6000 to $12000 for the 3 units I needed. The rest of the cost was for labor. People were charging me $8000-$18000 for labor!!! Looking into what went into labor, it consists of adding duct work, installing air handlers, installing the HVAC systems. I only needed the air handlers installed in their preexisting space and needed no additional duct work added to the current systems so I couldn't figure out how they justified $8-18k for labor. The following Monday, I took additional bids, but this time I let each HVAC company know to just give me the bid and to leave my home as soon as possible. I also let them all know that I already had multiple bids from Friday and had more coming on that day and to give me their best price. Village Plumbing gave me a bid of $23403 for 14 SEER Lennox H-Town gave me a bid of $14700 for 14 SEER Rheem Courtesy Air gave me a bid of $14380 for 14 SEER Ameristar Texas Air Repair gave me a bid of $11800 for 14 SEER Ameristar or Goodman Eventually I decided on Henry from Texas Air Repair even though other companies said they would match or better the offer. I personally think that people who give their best offer up front should be rewarded, not people who high ball you then drop their price $50 below the best bid you find after the fact. I upgraded the brand that I purchased and ended up purchasing a 2 Ton, 2.5 Ton, and 3.5 Ton 14 SEER Trane units from Texas Air Repair for $13500. I have been happy with the quality and the professionalism displayed by Texas Air Repair so and would highly recommend in the future. I definitely learned a lot about HVACs and hope this experience helps someone else out there from getting gouged."

"Everything went smoothly up until I had a ceiling leak and we found that the condensation line to the other unit was broken during the installation. It was not carelessness but a poor design by the builder of the home. Anyway, they agreed to fix it and the damage it caused, without any need for me to make a lot of noise. My only complaint was that the repair was long and drawn out taking 4 or 5 visits to complete and the repairman was good but never came on schedule."

"The entire repair operation was perfect from start to finish. Legend Plumbing was able to schedule and complete outside repair work during my time away from home on a business trip. By working with my schedule, there was no interruption to my personal life. The inside basement repair was handle quickly and completely within my schedule. The inside work required moving some personal material on shelves in the basement which the repairmen did without any hesitation or assistance from me. They did such an amazing job and was so friendly and professional that I will now, always use him and Legend Plumbing for all my future plumbing needs."

"Technician arrived at the time scheduled, was very polite and communicative, diagnosed the problem quickly, and did the work in a timely manner. Mine is an older A/C unit, but Mr. Schwab did not balk at fixing it and try to sell me a new system. I really appreciated that. I will definitely call on Schwab Air Conditioning Services for future service."

"At my annual inspection by a different company, I was told a part (whose name I can't remember) was restricted and needed to be replaced. They quoted me $846 to do the work. I called the company that installed the system and they quoted me $640 and explained that since they would need to come from San Antonio they needed to include travel time. Then I found Hometown appliance on Angie's List. He was up front about how he bills, gave me an estimate over the phone of what it would cost to do what the original technician said needed doing. But, he also offered to come and check the diagnosis to make sure the work really needed to be done. When they came, they discovered the leak in the coil. Coincidentally, replacing the coil also included replacing the part I was originally told about. So the worked with me an Carrier to have the coils sent and they came and installed it, very professionally, very helpful people. So let me summarize all the value I got. I got a free diagnosis, I got an accurate diagnosis, and I got it repaired for $300 less that what was quoted me from somebody I know assume are crooks. I got great value and great service from Hometown Appliance."

Forrest was extremely responsive. I called and he was able to come by, I believe, the next day to an energy audit to determine why my electric bill was outrageous and the temperature varied throughout the house. Right away he determined there was virtually no insulation in the attic (easier said than done considering the dark,  3 ft crawl space filled with giant metal ducts) except what was left from the original install in 1975. I was able to schedule to have the work done in about 5 days. I'm not sure if the price was good or not but I really liked Forrest and he was available to get the work done ASAP...that made it the right price!  He and his crew arrived when they said they would, blew in the insulation, mended ducts, expelled all the critters in the attic, and replaced the broken booster fan blocking the air going to the opposite end of the house.

I also texted Forrest Friday with concerns that there was hot air coming out of the vent when the AC wasn't on, he said he could be there the next day to check it out. He showed up when he said he would, determined that coincidently, I walked under the vent right when the AC turned on and all the hot air was being pushed from the duct.  There was no issues other than my bad timing.

I will continue to use this company for everything and anything they can provide that I need in the future.

FAQs for swamp cooler service or repair projects in Karnes City, TX

A well-maintained swamp cooler can last between 10 and 15 years. Its longevity depends on usage frequency, water quality, and proper care.
