What we do

One local team. Everything that heats, cools, or keeps cold.

From a house that won't cool down to a walk-in freezer at 2 a.m., Polar Express keeps San Antonio comfortable and running.

Maintenance & Plans

Two visits a year, priority scheduling, and money back toward a new system.

Commercial refrigeration

When the cooler goes down, the business goes down.

Most San Antonio HVAC companies will fix your rooftop unit and hand you somebody else’s number for the walk-in. We do both. One call, one crew, one invoice, and we answer it at 2 a.m., because that is when compressors fail.

  • Walk-in coolers and freezers: repair, replacement, and preventive contracts
  • Reach-ins, prep tables, display cases, and ice machines
  • Restaurants, bars, convenience stores, groceries, clinics, and labs
  • 24/7 emergency dispatch with temperature-critical priority

Product on the line, not just comfort.

A cooler climbing past 41°F is inventory, health code, and revenue, all at once.

The Straight Answer Guarantee

Four promises. In writing. Every single call.

Straight answers, no scare tactics, and the same standard whether it is a capacitor or a whole system.

You see the price before we touch anything

Flat-rate quote, approved by you, before work begins. No hourly meter. No surprise line items on the invoice.

We answer the phone at 2 a.m.

Real 24/7 dispatch, 365 days a year, whether it is heat, a cold snap, or a cooler climbing toward spoilage.

We tell you when it doesn't need replacing

If a repair buys you three more years, that is what we will recommend. You get the honest read on how much life the system has left, in writing, and a replacement quote only when replacing is genuinely the better buy.

It's not done until it works

We test the system, walk you through what we did, and stand behind it in writing. Locally owned, so we are going to see you at H-E-B.

If we don’t fix it right, we come back at no charge. If we can’t fix it, you don’t pay for the visit. That is the whole policy. It fits on one line because it doesn’t have exceptions.

Enrique Rubio, Owner, Polar Express HVAC & Refrigeration

How it works

Four steps, and they change with the job.

A 2 a.m. repair, a planned replacement, a seasonal tune-up, and a walk-in losing temperature are four different visits. Here is exactly what each one looks like.

Tap your kind of visit

A repair visit, step by step

  1. 1

    Call or book online

    Reach a real local person, day or night. We confirm your window and dispatch fast, with true 24/7 coverage for emergencies.

    Diagnosis, out loud

    Your tech inspects the system and explains what is wrong in plain language. You see the flat-rate price before anything is opened up.

  3. 3

    Fixed the first time

    We arrive stocked. Most repairs are done on the same visit, and we treat your home like we live there.

  4. 4

    Confirmed and guaranteed

    We test it, show you the result, and back it in writing.

San Antonio owned

Big enough to answer at 2 a.m. Small enough that the owner knows your name.

Polar Express is locally owned and operated out of San Antonio. Not a franchise, not a private-equity roll-up with a call center in another state. The person who answers knows what Loop 1604 traffic does to a service window and what a Texas cold snap does to a heat pump.

We cover the metro and the towns around it, and the full city list is in the service area band below. If you are close and you do not see your city, call anyway.

Call (210) 376-0781

Polar Express dispatches 24/7 for emergencies and can usually reach a San Antonio address the same day. Standard appointments are typically next-day. Call (210) 376-0781 and we will give you a real arrival window, not a guess.

The most common AC repairs in San Antonio are capacitors, contactors, condensate line clears, and refrigerant service. Polar Express quotes a flat rate before any work starts and you approve it first. There is no hourly meter and no surprise line items on the invoice.

The installed cost of a new AC system in San Antonio depends on tonnage, efficiency rating, ductwork condition, and whether the job is a straight swap or a redesign. Polar Express gives free in-home estimates with the real number in writing, and financing is available on approved credit.

Yes. A person answers the Polar Express phone at 2 a.m., 365 days a year, and we dispatch for true emergencies: no heat, no cooling, or refrigeration losing temperature. The number is (210) 376-0781.

Yes, and commercial refrigeration is a core part of the Polar Express business, not a side offering. We service walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-ins, prep tables, display cases, and ice machines for restaurants, bars, convenience stores, groceries, and clinics across the San Antonio metro.

Polar Express services all major HVAC brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Daikin, York, and American Standard. Our technicians carry parts for the systems most common in San Antonio homes, so most repairs finish on the first visit.

Yes. Polar Express holds Texas HVAC license TACLA00127982C, regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and carries full insurance. The license number appears on every estimate and invoice.

Polar Express serves San Antonio and the surrounding communities, including San Antonio, Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, Converse, Universal City, Live Oak, and Leon Valley. If you are close by and do not see your city listed, call us anyway. The answer is usually yes.

As a rule of thumb: if the system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than about a third of a replacement, repair it. Past 12 to 15 years, with R-22 refrigerant or repeat failures, replacement usually costs less over time. Polar Express will tell you which situation you are actually in, in writing, and we recommend the repair whenever the repair is the better buy.

Both. Financing on new systems is available with approved credit, and checking your options is a soft credit check. Polar Club maintenance memberships include tune-ups, priority dispatch, repair discounts, and credit toward a future system.

We’re here when you need us.

Day or night, home or business. One call gets a local Polar Express tech on the way, with upfront pricing, straight answers, and everything guaranteed in writing.
