When a system stops working in Webster, the call needs to go somewhere that will actually get someone out. Pickett Heating & Air handles heating and cooling repair, installation, and maintenance for homes and businesses across this town. Whether it is a heat pump that quit overnight, an AC that is running but not cooling, or a rental unit with a tenant calling about no air, we take the call and get it on the schedule. Same-day appointments are often available, and we answer every day from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
Businesses that have to keep a space comfortable for customers and employees, landlords managing units across the area, and homeowners dealing with a system that has been limping along all need the same thing: a qualified technician who shows up, diagnoses the problem correctly, and fixes it before leaving. That is what we do in Webster. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the system is tested before we sign off.
Not every call is the same, and the work that comes out of a small city like Webster reflects that. Some properties are running equipment that has been in place for years without a proper service visit. Others have had recent work done but still have a room that never quite reaches the set temperature. A few are dealing with a system that failed completely and needs a straight answer about repair versus replacement. We handle all of it.
A heating system that starts and then shuts off, or one that will not ignite at all, is often tracing back to a failed igniter or a dirty flame sensor. The sensor reads whether the burner has actually lit, and when it cannot confirm that, the system shuts down as a safety measure. It is a small component, but it stops the whole system. A service call covers cleaning or replacing the sensor and verifying the ignition sequence is running correctly from start to finish.
An AC or heat pump that runs constantly but never brings the temperature down to where the thermostat is set is one of the more common calls in this region. The cause could be a refrigerant shortage, a dirty evaporator coil restricting airflow, a duct system leaking conditioned air into unconditioned spaces, or a unit that was never sized correctly for the space it is trying to condition. The diagnostic visit determines which factor is at work so the repair addresses the actual problem rather than the symptom.
Heat pumps handle both the cooling and heating load in a single unit, which makes them the practical choice for most properties in this part of Texas. When a heat pump reaches the end of its useful life, or when a home is moving away from older equipment, installation involves sizing the new unit to the space, making the equipment connection, and running a full system test before we hand off the controls. We explain the sizing process and what the installation day looks like when you call for a quote.
Low refrigerant does not fix itself. A system that is short on charge has a leak somewhere in the circuit, and adding refrigerant without finding and sealing the leak is a temporary measure at best. A leak diagnosis covers pressure testing, visual inspection of the coil and line set, and identifying the source before any refrigerant is added. Once the leak is repaired, the system is recharged and tested to confirm it is holding correctly.
A system that starts, runs for a short time, and then shuts off before the space reaches temperature is short cycling. It puts extra wear on the compressor, drives up energy use, and usually points to an underlying problem: an oversized unit, a refrigerant issue, a dirty filter choking airflow, or a control fault. We trace the cause on the diagnostic visit rather than treating the symptom.
A cracked or damaged heat exchanger is a safety concern that goes beyond comfort. It allows combustion gases to enter the airstream, which is why an inspection is not optional when a heating system shows signs of stress. We inspect the heat exchanger as part of a thorough heating service call and give a straight answer about what we find.
An older thermostat reads temperature at one point in the home and makes a single on-off decision based on that reading. A modern programmable or smart control does more: it schedules around occupancy, adjusts for the time of day, and in some cases learns patterns over time to reduce runtime without sacrificing comfort. For heat pump systems, compatibility between the control and the equipment matters, and not every thermostat is wired for a heat pump's dual-function operation.
Replacing a thermostat on its own is worth the call when the current control is reading incorrectly, failing to hold the set temperature, or simply too limited to work with a newer system. We handle the wiring, confirm compatibility with the existing equipment, and walk through the setup before we leave. For properties with multiple zones, a zoning and comfort-control system lets different areas of the building run independently, which addresses the uneven-temperature problem without oversizing the equipment.
The price for a repair call depends on what the technician finds, what has to be accessed to reach it, and what parts or materials the fix requires. A straightforward component replacement on an accessible unit looks different from a refrigerant repair that involves tracing a leak through a line set buried in the wall. The quote reflects the actual scope once the system has been looked at.
For a replacement, the calculation involves the size of the space, the condition of the existing ductwork, and which equipment is the right match for the load. A unit that is too large short cycles and leaves humidity problems behind. A unit that is too small runs constantly and never satisfies. Getting that sizing right is part of what the quote covers.
You get the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled. If the diagnosis turns up something beyond the original scope, we explain what it is and what it would take to address it before any additional work begins. Call us and we'll walk you through your options.
Same-day appointments are often available for repair calls across Webster and the surrounding area. For situations where there is no cooling at all in the middle of a hot stretch, or no heating during a cold snap, we treat those as the priority calls they are. We answer every day from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM, and emergency calls within those hours get handled the same day when scheduling allows.
For rental properties, we can coordinate with a tenant directly when the property owner cannot be on site. For businesses that have to stay open, we work around operating hours where we can and communicate clearly about what the visit will involve before the technician arrives. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every job runs, whether it is a single home or a commercial space with a rooftop unit that needs attention.
Book today. Running tomorrow. Comfortable by the weekend.
The work that comes out of a property depends on what that property is dealing with, not on a fixed menu. Three situations come up often enough to describe on their own.
A system that stopped working or is behaving in a way the homeowner or tenant cannot explain is a diagnostic call first. We identify the cause before recommending a fix, and we explain what we found in plain terms so the decision about how to proceed is an informed one. We'll diagnose it, fix it, and test it before we leave. The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of repair covers.
A working system that has not had a proper service visit in a while is a candidate for a tune-up before it becomes a repair call. That covers coil cleaning, refrigerant level verification, airflow testing, and a full operational check. In a climate where the cooling load runs for most of the year, maintenance is not a formality. We stand behind every system we service, and a maintenance visit is where that starts.
When repair is no longer the right answer, a replacement gives the property a properly sized, efficient system matched to the current load. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and the system is tested and readings checked before sign-off. If you are weighing repair against replacement and want a straight answer, the call is the right place to start.

The same scheduling and service process applies regardless of which town the property is in. Call (346) 686-2935 for a quote and we will confirm coverage for your address.
Sizing starts with a load calculation that accounts for the square footage of the space, the insulation, the window area, and the layout of the ductwork. A system that is too large short-cycles and leaves the space humid. A system that is too small runs constantly without reaching the set point. Getting the size right is the first step of any replacement job.
If the initial diagnostic does not isolate the problem, the technician explains what was checked and what the next steps are. Some intermittent faults require the system to be observed under specific operating conditions to reproduce. We stay in communication and work through the diagnosis until the cause is identified.
A heat pump that runs without moving the temperature is worth a same-day call rather than waiting to see if it corrects itself. The most common causes are a refrigerant shortage, a reversing valve fault, or an airflow restriction at the coil or filter. A diagnostic visit identifies which is at work so the repair addresses the actual problem. Call (346) 686-2935 and we can often get someone out the same day.
Yes, every time. The system is run through its full operating cycle, readings are checked, and airflow is confirmed before we close out the visit. That step is not optional. It is how we verify that the repair or installation actually did what it was supposed to do.
Yes. Air quality equipment that installs inline with the HVAC system has its own maintenance requirements, including filter changes and periodic performance checks. We cover that service alongside the rest of the HVAC system rather than treating it as a separate category.
Clear access to the indoor air handler, the outdoor unit, and any attic or utility space the technician needs to reach makes the job go faster. Keeping pets and children away from the work area during the installation is also helpful. When you call for a quote, the process and the price are explained before anything is scheduled.
Yes. When a property owner cannot be on site, we coordinate directly with the tenant for access and communicate what the visit will involve before the technician arrives. We confirm the appointment details in advance so everyone on site knows what to expect and when to be available. Let us know the situation when you call and we will work out the best approach for the property.
Yes. When you call to book, let us know the access situation and what hours work for the tenant. We confirm the appointment details before the visit so the technician arrives during a window that works for everyone involved.
Access to the property is what matters, not whether it sits within a city boundary or on a public road. If the address is within the area we cover and the technician can reach the equipment, we can take the job. Call us with the address and we will confirm coverage.
