Billy and Perla, the owners of Air Star Now
The family behind the work

Billy learned this trade from his father.

He is a Houston native. His father owned a small HVAC company, and that is where he started. Four years in commercial work came next, then a government contract in Afghanistan covering air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, and custom fabrication.

He came home and worked alongside his father for nearly 15 years before starting Air Star. That is 26 years of hands-on experience, and it is the reason the answer you get on a hard diagnosis tends to be a specific one.

Perla runs the office and leads the customer service team. Billy runs the field. When you call, you are talking to the people whose name is on the licence.

Comfort intelligence

Real answers before you spend a dollar

Four questions almost every Houston homeowner eventually asks. Pick one below. This is general guidance to think from, not a quote for your specific system.

The big decision

Repair it again, or replace it now?

This call almost always comes down to two things: how old the system is, and how the repair cost compares to a full replacement. Neither one decides it alone.

  • Age is the first filter. Once a system passes the 10-year mark, most homeowners and technicians start treating the next major repair as a real fork in the road rather than a routine fix.
  • A common industry rule of thumb: if a system is already past 10 years old and a single repair would cost roughly half of what full replacement costs, or more, replacement is usually the better math over time.
  • An aging system tends to lose efficiency as parts wear, so it can cost more to run every month even on the days it isn't actually broken.
  • Two or more repairs on the same unit in a single season is a signal worth weighing on its own, independent of the exact age on the nameplate.

This is general guidance, not a quote for your system. An honest, no-pressure diagnostic visit is the only way to apply it to the unit actually in your house.

Warranty Guarantee

10- and 12-year parts & labor warranty on new systems, so a covered repair never comes out of your pocket.

“Excellent service! I googled several companies around 9:00 pm one night as my AC was not cooling and Air Star responded quickly and engaged with me until an appointment was scheduled. Alan came out the very next morning around 8:30 and completed the job on my AC within two hours. He was very professional and showed me and explained everything to me. My AC is running perfectly! Thank Air Star for your excellent service! I highly recommend.”

“Our outdoor unit stopped working and we live in Houston, TX so we needed someone out ASAP. They responded quickly and sent someone out at 10pm that same night. Ero came out and informed us we needed a new motor. The price was very reasonable and they even gave us a discount. Definitely recommend Air Star Now for your HVAC needs.”

“I had Erin out for my annual spring AC tune-up and could not be happier with the service. He was on time, incredibly kind, and highly professional. He was very respectful of my home and took the time to check my entire system thoroughly, even working hard in the extreme heat and my hot attic. I highly recommend his services!”

Most repairs land in a modest range depending on the part and how much labor is involved, but we never quote a number sight-unseen. Our technician diagnoses the actual problem, explains what's wrong in plain English, and gives you an upfront price before any work starts. You approve the cost first, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

Estimates on a new AC or heating system installation are free, and there's no obligation to buy. We'll look at your home, your ductwork, and how you actually use it, then walk you through honest options at different price points. You'll get a clear written quote you can take your time with.

Yes. A full system replacement is a real expense, and we don't think anyone should sit in the Houston heat because of it. We can walk you through financing options so you can spread the cost into manageable monthly payments. Just ask when we come out and we'll go over what's available for your budget.

In most cases we offer same-day service, and we move fast when your AC is down. When you call (713) 929-9595 we'll give you an honest window instead of a vague all-day promise. During a Houston heat wave we're busy, but we prioritize homes with no cooling and families with kids, seniors, or anyone medically vulnerable.

Yes. We're a family that lives here too, so we know an AC doesn't fail on a convenient schedule. We answer emergency calls nights, weekends, and holidays because a broken system in July is not something that can wait until Monday. Call us any time at (713) 929-9595.

We cover Greater Houston and the surrounding communities, including Cypress, Katy, Spring, Tomball, Humble, Pearland, Baytown, Channelview, Crosby, Dayton, La Porte, Texas City, Richmond, Sugar Land, and Missouri City. If you're near one of these and not sure whether we reach you, just call and ask. We'll give you a straight answer before we ever roll a truck.

Yes. Air Star Now holds Texas HVAC license TACLA36229C and carries insurance, so you're protected and the work is done to code. That license also means our technicians are trained and accountable, not just handy. You can verify our license number any time, and we're happy that you check.

We're genuinely family owned and operated. Billy leads the field crew and Perla runs the office. Billy is a Houston native who learned the trade from his father, worked commercial HVAC, spent time on a government contract overseas covering air conditioning, plumbing and electrical, then worked alongside his father for nearly 15 years before starting Air Star. Over 10 years and 750-plus Google reviews later, the reputation is still the whole point. When you call, you get a family that answers for its own work.
