"Our AC went out and we called Honest Air. Randy came out to diagnose the problem and did his best to save our old system. The system was too far gone so he helped us pick a new system that would meet our needs and help us save energy. Install day, we had Jeremy, Kade and Logan come in to set up out new system. They were great! They were nice, informative, efficient and courteous to our needs. They also informed us of an issue from the original install of our old system and are going to come back out to correct it for us."

Legacy Home Services, your local HVAC and Electrical contractor, exists to return respect to the home services industry in New Braunfels. Integrity. Honor. Service. Reliability. This Home Services company will distinguish itself from others by the virtues with which we conduct every business transaction. Legacy Heating & Air Conditioning Services, LLC started in February 2013 in Founder Chad Briggs’ garage. With a passion for serving people, Chad aimed to build an organization of individuals who genuinely care for the people in the community. A servant’s attitude was paramount, prioritizing respect for the customer and building a relationship rather than treating them like a transaction. Legacy quickly outgrew the garage through its stewardship towards customers and the community. In 2018, Legacy partnered with Trane Technologies to provide the New Braunfels community with the most reputable residential equipment. In October 2022, Legacy expanded by introducing the Electrical department and rebranding as Legacy Home Services, all while maintaining its focus on serving others. Legacy devotes its energy to become the #1 choice for home services in New Braunfels through its 5-star online reputation, loyal Legacy Family Plan Membership customers, highly trained and caring Comfort Technicians, and caring team of internal support team members. Above all, we care foremost about treating our customers like we would want to be treated, and work to return respect to the HVAC & Electrical industries in New Braunfels.

"Chris & Sam were an amazing team. They were right on time and got the work done very quickly and efficiently. They went the extra mile to answer our many questions and trained us on using our thermostats. They answered our inquiries re options on future expansion of our system. They made sure we knew how to properly use our system to optimize its capabilities. We are seniors, and not techies at all. They explained our 3-zone system to us in terms we could understand and even installed an app on our phones to remotely control our thermostats. Chris was so patient with us. What a great experience."

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
