Texas Central Air

What Texas Central Air does

Texas Central Air is a family-owned HVAC service contractor founded in 2013 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers across the Greater Houston metropolitan area within an approximate 25-mile radius. The company's core offering spans the full HVAC lifecycle — installation, repair, maintenance, and replacement of air conditioning systems, heating systems, heat pumps, zone control systems, and indoor air quality solutions — and it services all major equipment brands including American Standard, Carrier, Goodman, Lennox, Rheem, Ruud, Trane, and York. Differentiated offerings include cold plasma bipolar ionization air purification (via PlasmaAir partnership), commercial rooftop unit installation with energy-recovery and BACnet controls, ductless mini split systems, and a quarterly commercial HVAC maintenance agreement program with priority service and 1-year repair warranty. All repair work carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty and is delivered via same-day, parts-on-truck field service with 24/7 emergency availability.

The company operates a dual go-to-market: a direct-to-consumer residential motion driven by phone (281-727-0327), local SEO across 14+ suburb service-area pages, and Google reviews; and an enterprise field-sales motion targeting commercial and industrial customers with custom system design, turnkey installation, and ongoing maintenance — evidenced by case studies in medical office (72,000 sq ft, 29% kWh reduction), retail (48,000 sq ft, 31% electric savings, $512K turnkey), and distribution warehouse (135,000 sq ft, $742K turnkey, 2.9-year ROI) segments. Pricing is flat-rate and quote-based, with financing available for major installations. As of 2024, Texas Central Air is backed by The Chill Brothers, with Jonathan "Bailey" Hanna serving as General Manager and Kelby Henson as Director of Business Development; the company maintains Texas HVAC contractor licensing (TACLA125339C) and membership in industry associations including ACCA, ASHRAE, AHRI, TACCA, PHCC, and SMACNA.
