The Best AC Repair Companies in Amarillo, TX: An Honest 2026 Comparison

Search “best AC repair Amarillo” and you’ll mostly get directories ranking companies by whoever bought the top slot, plus review aggregators that reshuffle weekly. This page is a different thing: a fact-checked comparison of eight established Amarillo-area HVAC companies, built from what each one publishes about itself, with no rankings, no ratings, and no pay-to-play.

How this list was built. On September 8, 2026, we read each company’s own website and recorded the same fields for each: founding year or years in business, services offered, service area, whether they publish 24/7 or after-hours availability, dealer affiliations, financing, and the Texas TDLR Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) Contractor license number where the company publishes it. We didn’t call them, we didn’t include review counts or star ratings (they go stale too fast to be useful in print — check Google and the BBB yourself when you’re deciding), and no company paid for placement or knew this page was being written. Companies are listed roughly by how long they’ve operated in the market, not by quality.

One thing to be clear about up front: Palo Duro Air Repair connects Amarillo-area homeowners with independent, third-party HVAC contractors — we don’t perform HVAC repairs ourselves, and some of the companies below may be providers we match homeowners with. Inclusion here isn’t an endorsement and omission isn’t a criticism; Amarillo has well over a hundred TDLR-licensed ACR contractors, and this page profiles eight of the most established.

The eight companies

Amarillo Air Conditioning

• In business: since 1955, family-owned and -operated (per its site)
• Services: AC repair, installation, maintenance; heating; heat pumps; ductless mini-splits; indoor air quality; thermostats; sheet-metal fabrication
• Service area: Amarillo, Canyon, Bushland, Claude, Lake Tanglewood, Timbercreek
• After-hours: states it operates 24 hours a day
• Dealer status: Lennox Premier Dealer
• Financing: up to 96 months on approved credit (per its site)
• License #: not published on the pages we reviewed — ask
• Based in: Amarillo (79106)

The longest-running name on this list. A full-service shop with its own sheet-metal capability, which matters if your job involves custom duct transitions. Note the name: “Amarillo Air Conditioning” is a real, long-established contractor and is not affiliated with this site (Palo Duro Air Repair), despite the similar-sounding domain.

Gary’s Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc.

• In business: founded 1978
• Services: AC repair, maintenance, replacement; heating; heat pumps; ductwork repair and replacement; ductless mini-splits; attic insulation; thermostats; indoor air quality
• Service area: Amarillo, Canyon, Claude, Panhandle, Bushland, surrounding areas
• After-hours: 24/7 after-hours emergency service (per its site)
• Financing: 0% financing offered, up to 180 months with approved credit (per its site)
• License #: TACLB2620C (published)
• Based in: Amarillo (79106)

One of the two or three companies that dominate Amarillo’s map results for AC repair, and one of the few local shops that publishes some equipment pricing on its own installation page — a useful reference point when you’re comparing replacement quotes (our replacement cost guide uses it as one of three sources).

Texas Air

• In business: since 1994 (per its site)
• Services: AC and heating installation, maintenance, repair, replacement, tune-ups; heat pumps; ductless mini-splits; indoor air quality; smart thermostats
• Service area: unusually wide — Amarillo, Canyon, Hereford, Dumas, Claude, Vega, Fritch, Groom, White Deer, Happy, Tulia, Dimmitt
• After-hours: not specified on its site
• Credentials: NATE-certified technicians, EPA-certified (per its site)
• Financing: no-interest, no-payment options mentioned
• License #: not published on the pages we reviewed — ask
• Based in: Amarillo

The company to know if you’re outside the Amarillo–Canyon–Bushland core. Its published service area reaches farther into the Panhandle than anyone else on this list.

Matthew’s HVAC Services LLC

• In business: owner cites 28 years in the HVAC industry (per its site)
• Services: residential AC, furnaces, heat pumps, ductless, air handlers, ductwork, gas fireplaces, indoor air quality, zone controls; commercial cooling, heating, IAQ, and new-construction HVAC
• Service area: Amarillo, Borger, Bushland, Canyon, Clarendon, Dumas, Hereford, Panhandle, Tulia, Vega
• After-hours: 24/7 heating and air conditioning service (per its site)
• Brands serviced: lists Trane, Mitsubishi, Amana, Goodman, Daikin, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, York, and others
• Financing: available
• License #: TACLA47187C (published)
• Based in: Amarillo (79119)

A residential-and-commercial shop with a long brand-agnostic service list — relevant if you have a less common brand or a zoned system.

Snow Bear Heat & Air — Amarillo

• In business: multi-location company (Amarillo, Lubbock, Waco, Tulsa and others); Amarillo founding date not stated
• Services: AC, heating, heat pumps, commercial HVAC, maintenance plans, indoor air quality
• After-hours: 24/7 emergency service across Texas and Oklahoma (per its site)
• Financing: 100% financing advertised; a reduced first-visit diagnostic fee it says is donated to a local veterans’ housing charity
• License #: TACLA00044245E (Texas, published)
• Based in: Amarillo (79109)

The one regional multi-location operator on this list. The trade-off is the usual one: deeper dispatch capacity and standardized processes versus a locally-owned shop’s continuity of technicians.

Avalos Heating & Air, LLC

• In business: family-owned; cites 70 years of combined team experience (per its site)
• Services: AC repair, furnace repair, HVAC installation and maintenance, indoor air quality
• Service area: Amarillo, Canyon, Bushland, Lake Tanglewood, Timbercreek Canyon, Wolflin, The Colonies, City View, surrounding Panhandle communities
• After-hours: emergency services available (per its site)
• Dealer status: Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer
• Credentials: BBB accredited, EPA- and NATE-certified, RSES member (per its site)
• Financing: available
• License #: not published on the pages we reviewed — ask
• Based in: Amarillo (79124, north Loop 335)

Notable for naming specific Amarillo neighborhoods in its service area rather than just the city — a small signal that it actually works those streets. Carrier Factory Authorized status means factory-trained on that brand and access to Carrier’s warranty programs.

Adam’s Air

• In business: years not stated on its site
• Services: AC repair, replacement, installation; heating; indoor air quality and allergy-relief systems; whole-house humidifiers; insulation; branded seasonal tune-ups
• Service area: Amarillo, Canyon, surrounding Panhandle communities
• After-hours: not indicated on its site
• Financing: available
• License #: not published on the pages we reviewed — ask
• Based in: Amarillo (79106)

Describes itself as “a service company, not a sales company.” Worth a call for repair-first situations where you want a diagnosis without a replacement pitch.

Grizzle Heating & Air (Canyon)

• In business: over 20 years (per its site)
• Services: AC and heating installation and repair, heat pumps, ductless, indoor air quality, duct and dryer-vent cleaning, zone controls; residential and commercial
• Service area: Canyon and Amarillo
• After-hours: not specified on its homepage
• Dealer status: Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer; services all brands
• Financing: multiple options
• Other: Spanish-language service noted
• License #: TACLB00015640E (published)
• Based in: Canyon (79015)

The only company on this list based in Canyon rather than Amarillo, which matters for response time and trip fees if you’re in Canyon or south Randall County — see the Canyon service-area page. Also the only one running an active monthly blog on AC topics.

Matching the company to the job

Same-night emergency in July. Start with the companies that publish 24/7 dispatch: Amarillo Air Conditioning, Gary’s, Matthew’s, Snow Bear, and Avalos. Call early in the evening. The emergency guide covers what after-hours pricing looks like ($140–$250+ per hour) and what to check before you call.

Hail damage with an insurance claim. Any of the established shops can handle the repair; what you want is a written diagnosis with photos and the license number on it, which every licensed contractor can provide. The hail-damage guide covers the order of operations — photograph first, agent second, contractor third.

Full replacement with financing. Gary’s (0%, up to 180 months per its site), Amarillo Air Conditioning (up to 96 months), and Snow Bear (100% financing) publish the most specific terms. Get at least three itemized quotes regardless — the replacement cost guide has the checklist.

Canyon or south Randall County. Grizzle is local to Canyon; Gary’s, Amarillo Air Conditioning, Avalos, Matthew’s, and Texas Air all list Canyon in their service areas. Ask about trip fees either way.

Outside the metro. Texas Air and Matthew’s publish the widest Panhandle service areas.

A specific brand under warranty. Amarillo Air Conditioning (Lennox), Avalos (Carrier), and Grizzle (Bryant) are factory-authorized for those brands, which can matter for warranty claims on that equipment.

Questions to ask any of them

1. What’s your TDLR ACR license number? Verify it at the TDLR license lookup. Every company here is, or reports being, licensed; you should still check.
2. What’s the diagnostic fee, and is it credited toward the repair? ($75–$150 is the Amarillo norm during normal hours.)
3. Does the fee or rate change outside Amarillo city limits?
4. On a repair over about $1,500, or a unit 12+ years old: will you quote a replacement alongside the repair? See the repair-vs-replace guide.
5. On a refrigerant repair: will you find and fix the leak, not just recharge?
6. On a replacement: will you do a Manual J load calculation, and which refrigerant does the new system use? (Should be R-454B or R-32 in 2026.)
7. Who pulls the permit, if one’s required?

You get a real diagnosis and a written quote, with no obligation to hire. We update this page as companies change what they publish; if you run one of these businesses and something here is out of date, use the contact page and we’ll correct it.
