Daniel Palacios A/C & Heating

Daniel Palacios A/C & Heating runs their HVAC operation from San Benito, Texas. The company has spent over twenty years providing repair, installation, and maintenance on air conditioning and heating equipment for homes in the area. They also take on new construction projects and handle mechanical and duct work to make sure everything fits the building needs. Homeowners in San Benito and nearby spots count on them to deal with the hot summers and occasional cold snaps that hit South Texas. The focus stays on getting systems back online fast and keeping them that way through straightforward service calls.

The crew handles full replacements such as putting in an entire AC system with new ducts on one property where Rick, Ralph and the rest walked the owner through every step in plain terms. Richard has diagnosed thermostat problems over the phone when a homeowner was stuck and then arrived first thing the next morning to finish the fix in minutes. They have kept older units running for years before installing replacements at fair prices, and when two AC units failed at the same time the team swapped them out quickly then returned to handle bad thermostats. Cleanup always gets done right with nothing left scattered around the yard or inside the house.

Customers keep pointing to the fast response times on emergency calls, the solid quality that holds up after the crew leaves, the honest pricing that avoids surprises, and the clear back and forth from technicians who know their trade. Reviews mention the crew staying until the job is finished properly and taking time to explain options without pressure. That steady record across dozens of residential jobs in San Benito adds up to real trust in the local HVAC scene. DIRT Score 4.77 from 44 reviews on Finds.

“Palacios Air Repair is a first-class operation. We had them put a complete a/c system in our home including ducts. Their pricing is fair, and they’re honest and extremely knowledgeable. Rick, Ralph, and the crew took the time to explain everything in a simple, easy-to-understand way, which I really appreciated. It’s clear they care about their customers and the quality of their work. I’ll definitely be using their services for a long time.”

“Super good service. Fast, responsive and reasonable. He kept our old AC going for a long time and just installed a new one on our house. The price was excellent, quality of work was top notch. They not only do great work they cleaned up really well and didn't leave any mess at all. I highly recommend them.”

“Rick, Ralph and the crew are top notch. They were able to help us out with 2 failing AC units quickly - got us up and running - replaced the AC units in very quick amount of time - and even came back to replace some failing thermostats. Top notch service, great guys to chat with, and the price was great as well. Highly recommend!”

“I called Richard about a problem I had changing out my thermostat the day before and he even tried to diagnose the problem over the phone even when he was tied up when I called. But Richard eventually came out first thing in the morning and diagnosed the problem within a few minutes and took care of whatever needed to be done in less than 15 mins. Really professional in what he does and definitely knows what he’s doing. Contact him for your AC needs. You won’t be disappointed”

“Rick and his team are hands down one of the best AC companies in the area. I have been a customer of Palacios Air for many years and they have always treated me with respect and been there for me to install and repair all of my ac units. Very trustworthy and honest.”
