Have a Question?

FAQ

What areas do you service?
We proudly serve all of San Diego County. Whether you're out on acreage or in a suburban neighborhood, we’re just a call away.
Is financing available for a new AC?
Absolutely. Service Cowboy offers flexible financing plans with easy terms and fast approval so you can upgrade without delay or stress.
Do I need to replace my ductwork too?
Not always. But if your ducts are leaky, uninsulated, or the wrong size, we'll let you know. A good AC system deserves good ductwork-and we make sure both are working together to keep you cool.
How long does an AC installation take?
Most installations are completed in one day. Our team shows up early, works efficiently, and treats your home with care—so you can get back to being comfortable without disruption.
Can I replace just the outdoor unit or do I need both?
Sometimes yes, but mismatched indoor/outdoor units can reduce efficiency and void warranties. We'll inspect both and help you make the smartest, most cost-effective decision based on your system’s age and condition.
Why is my energy bill suddenly higher?
It could be a dirty filter, a failing motor, low refrigerant, or even a thermostat issue. Our Service Cowboy techs will run a full diagnostic to track down the culprit and help bring those bills back under control.
What sets Service Cowboy apart from other HVAC companies?
We’re a family-owned Ramona business built on cowboy values: honesty, hard work, and always showing up when it counts. Our name isn’t a gimmick—it’s our promise to do the job right, every time.
What brands do you install or service?
We install and service all major HVAC brands, including Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, and more. No matter the badge on your system, the cowboys know how to handle it.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes! Our Cowboy Comfort Plan includes seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. It’s the smartest way to protect your system—and your wallet-all year long.
How quickly can Service Cowboy respond to an AC emergency?
Fast. When it's hot out and your system breaks, our trained techs aim to be at your door same-day or next-day. We know HVAC emergencies can't wait, and we ride fast when folks are in need.
Should I repair or replace my AC?
If the unit still has life and the fix is minor, we'll say repair it. If it’s older, inefficient, and breaking down often, we’ll walk you through replacement options. At Service Cowboy, we treat your money like it’s our own.
How can I improve my AC's energy efficiency?
Keep your filters clean, seal up drafts, and have Service Cowboy inspect and maintain your system. We also recommend installing a programmable thermostat so you’re not cooling the house when no one's home.
How much does it cost to install a new AC unit?
Pricing can vary based on system size and install needs, but most installs range between $5,000-$9,000. We provide clear, upfront quotes-no hidden fees. And we offer financing to make it easy to saddle up with a new system.
What's included in an AC tune-up?
Service Cowboy-s full tune-up includes: coil cleaning, electrical checks, thermostat calibration, refrigerant pressure check, drain line flush, and air filter replacement. We even provide a performance report so you know your system's ready for the trail ahead.
Is it worth repairing my old AC unit?
If your unit is over 10 years old and repairs are starting to cost more than they’re worth, it may be time to replace it. We'll give you an honest assessment-no pressure, just cowboy honesty and expert advice.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Warm air usually means low refrigerant, a dirty coil, a stuck compressor, or thermostat issues. Our techs at Service Cowboy are trained to pinpoint the issue quickly, so you’re not left sweating it out.
What size AC unit do I need for my home?
There's no one size fits all answer. At Service Cowboy, we assess your square footage, insulation, ductwork, and even local climate in Ramona or surrounding areas to recommend the right-sized, energy-efficient system that keeps your home cool without overworking.
How long does a typical AC unit last?
Most AC units last 12-15 years, but with Service Cowboy’s regular maintenance and tune-ups, many of our customers get even longer life from their systems. Keeping it clean and running smooth is the cowboy way.
What are the signs my AC needs repair?
If your AC is blowing warm air, making odd noises, cycling frequently, or causing a sudden spike in your energy bills, it’s time to call Service Cowboy. We'll inspect your system thoroughly and get things working right fast and fair, no rodeo required.
How often should I service my air conditioner?
At Service Cowboy, we recommend a full AC tune-up at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the summer heat kicks in. Annual maintenance helps your system run efficiently, prevents surprise breakdowns, and extends its lifespan-just like a cowboy tunes his gear before a long ride.
