The heat in Central Texas does not ask permission and it does not give much warning. In San Marcos, where summer temperatures hold well into October, an AC system that goes down on a Friday afternoon is a real emergency. The city has a mix of long-established operators and newer companies that have put in the work to earn community trust, and the best of them share a common trait: they pick up the phone and show up without making you feel like a bother. These five are worth having saved before you need them.
