Cowboys Air Conditioning & Heating

What Cowboys Air Conditioning & Heating does

Cowboys Air Conditioning & Heating is a privately held, family-owned HVAC service contractor headquartered at 6510 Blanco Rd in San Antonio, Texas, founded in 1985. The company delivers residential heating, cooling, indoor air quality, ductwork, smart thermostat, and emergency HVAC services to homeowners across six South Texas counties (Bexar, Kendall, Comal, Guadalupe, Wilson, and Medina). Its service portfolio covers central AC units, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and air-quality equipment across major brands, with credentials as an Authorized Trane Dealer and Certified York Dealer and a Texas contractor license (TACLB00027173C). Field technicians are dispatched from the single headquarters for on-site repair, installation, and maintenance, supported by 24/7 emergency availability with a claimed 60-minute-or-less response time.

The company's underlying technology stack is service-execution rather than software: diagnostic and installation expertise for major HVAC brands, complemented by Cowboys System Intelligence — a $24.99/month mobile-app-based subscription that provides 24/7 system monitoring, performance alerts, air filter tracking, technician chat, and priority dispatch. No proprietary AI/ML, patents, public API, or developer tooling are disclosed; integrations are limited to third-party consumer smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee, Honeywell, Emerson, Lux, Google Thermostat) and four consumer financing partners (Synchrony, Service Finance, Wisetack, GoodLeap).

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time professional service fees for repair and diagnostic work; one-time installation revenue on full system replacements; recurring monthly subscription fees from Cowboys System Intelligence; and facilitated third-party financing, which the company does not record as revenue but uses to enable larger system sales. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via phone, text, website scheduling, and a network of local marketing partnerships, including four San Antonio TV stations, KSAT 12's Thermometer Thursday sponsorship, and UTSA Athletics. There are no publicly disclosed revenue figures, no funding rounds, and no parent company or subsidiaries.
