The cheap part that stops everything
A failed capacitor will not start the compressor, and the symptom is identical to a dead system. It is a part swap. One customer describes exactly that visit: capacitor replaced, condenser cleaned, refrigerant topped up, running again the same call.

Condenser
Heat that has nowhere to go
A coil packed with Texas dust makes the compressor work against itself. Load climbs, the bill climbs with it, and nothing has actually broken. Cleaning it is maintenance, not surgery.

Charge
Where a leak stops being a top up
Refrigerant does not get used up. If it is low, it went somewhere. A charge and a leak search is the fork in the road: find it and you have a repair, keep refilling it and you are renting a problem.

The part nobody blames
Undersized returns, crushed flex, a run the builder never finished. One review describes ductwork rerouted after a builder got it wrong and a media filter added in the attic. A new system pushed through the same ducts inherits the same problem.
“LaFitte HVAC has serviced my AC system a couple times and has done an excellent job. above all they have been honest with me. And not tried to sell me a new system when all I needed was a repair.”
What the truck is set up for
Four things, done properly, on houses and on buildings.
These are LaFitte HVAC's own four service lines, in their own words. There is no fifth one padded on to make the list look longer.

The archive
Four rooms this company has actually stood in.
Every photograph here was taken on a LaFitte HVAC job and published by the company or its customers. None of it is stock, and none of it is a rendering.
Attic plant
The room the system actually lives in
An air handler set under the rafters with the trunk lines run around it. Most homeowners in Conroe have never seen this part of their own house, which is why it is the part that gets neglected.
Condenser
A soft start instead of a new unit
Gauges on the line, a soft start module wired in at the wall. It lowers the surge the compressor draws when it kicks on. It is the kind of fix that makes an old system behave, rather than replacing it.
Ductless
Where the ductwork was never going to reach
A mini split outdoor unit bracketed off the wall, disconnect beside it, line set and condensate run tight and squared. Additions, garages and back rooms get cooled without opening up the whole house.
Duct run
Where the airflow quietly goes missing
Flex duct strapped to a truss, turning into the plenum. Sags, crushes and bad turns cost airflow that no amount of new equipment gets back. It is the first thing worth looking at and usually the last thing anyone checks.
The threshold
Past this line a repair stops being the cheaper answer. Below it, replacing the system is just the more expensive way to fix a part.
Nobody can tell you which side you are on from a phone call, and anyone who does is guessing. It takes readings. That is the whole job.
Repair or replace
The two sentences you should expect to hear.
Both of these are real outcomes. Which one you get depends on the system, not on what is convenient to sell that afternoon.
Still a repair
One part, one visit, and it is yours again for another season
Capacitors, contactors, a dirty coil, a blocked drain, a duct that came loose. These are the majority of call outs and they end the same day. If financing helps spread a bigger repair, financing available through synchrony, and one customer says it was offered for a repair rather than a replacement.
Genuinely past it
When the honest answer is a new system
A compressor gone, a leak that keeps coming back, a system so far past its service life that every repair buys weeks. Installation covers new design, equipment upgrades and the ductwork it has to breathe through, on homes and on commercial buildings alike.
Before the season turns
The Preventative Maintenance Agreement exists so this call never happens in July.
Coils cleaned, charge checked, drains cleared, electrical read before it fails. It is the company's own named programme, and it is the difference between a scheduled morning and an emergency afternoon.
What customers actually wrote
4.9 out of five, across 268 reviews.
“Charles was professional, helpful, and honest. He diagnosed the problem, replaced the capacitor, cleaned the condenser, added the needed refrigerant, and got my AC running again. He also took extra time to fix and clean a vent in my daughter's room and explain what he found. I appreciated that he did not pressure me into replacing the entire system. I would use this company again for repairs.”
“LaFitte HVAC is always professional and very thorough with their jobs/ assessments. The pricing was great and will let you know the honest route to go!”
“My grandparents and I were both serviced today by Anthony and we cannot say enough good things!! He showed up was polite and timely had no issue working around our fur babies and our 7 month old!!!”
Straight answers
Things people ask before they call.
Repair is the larger part of the work. Customers write about technicians replacing a capacitor, cleaning a condenser and topping up refrigerant to get a system running again, and specifically about not being pushed toward a full replacement when a repair would do. If a system can be repaired, that is the option you will hear first.
