What HVAC services do you offer in San Antonio?
At J.C. Enriquez Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we provide a complete range of HVAC services for both residential and commercial properties in San Antonio. Our certified technicians specialize in A/C repair, A/C installation, mini‑split installs, furnace and heat pump repairs, and seasonal tune‑ups. Whether it’s keeping your home cool during Texas summers or warm through the winter, we’ve got you covered.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance or tune-ups?
We recommend two tune-ups per year — one before the cooling season (spring) and one before the heating season (fall). Regular maintenance helps reduce breakdowns, extend system life, and improve efficiency.
What warranties should I look for when buying a new HVAC system?
Look for both parts and labor warranties, plus a workmanship guarantee. Some systems come with standard warranties (e.g. 10 years parts) and others offer extended labor warranties if maintained regularly. At J.C. Enriquez Plumbing, Heating & Cooling every new HVAC installation comes with a 1‑year in‑house parts and labor warranty and a 5‑year manufacturer warranty. We stand behind our workmanship and only use trusted, high‑quality parts to ensure your comfort system runs efficiently and reliably for years to come.
Do you service all HVAC brands and systems?
Yes! We service and install all major HVAC brands and system types, including central air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless mini‑splits. While we’re not an exclusive dealer for any one brand, our team is experienced with all leading manufacturers—so you can count on professional service no matter what system you have.
Do you install and repair heat pumps in San Antonio?
Absolutely. We provide expert heat pump installation, maintenance, and repair services to help San Antonio homeowners save on energy costs year‑round. Whether you’re upgrading from a traditional HVAC unit or need repairs on your current system, we ensure your heat pump delivers efficient heating and cooling for every season.
What is the best way to check for toilet leaks?
Toilet leaks can be wasteful and expensive. At least once a year, check your toilet for leaks by adding a small amount of red food coloring to the tank, and then check the toilet bowl later. If the toilet bowl water is colored red, water is seeping through from the tank. If it is leaking, you should replace the tank ball.
How often should I have my septic system inspected?
Septic systems should be inspected and pumped a minimum of once every three to four years. You may not be experiencing any problem now, but a full septic tank may allow unwanted solids to flow into the drain field, which is the part of the system that consists of a distribution box, with a series of connected pipes. Each pipe allows water to flow into a bed of stone that drains into the ground. If paper and other solids flow into the drain field, it becomes blocked and ineffective. A blocked drain field is costly to repair or replace.
I hear a rumbling sound coming from the water heater. What could cause this?
Rumbling sounds coming from a water heater are an indication that sediment has built up on the bottom of the water heater. What you are hearing is water that is trapped in the sediment and is boiling. This is an indication that the water heater is not operating efficiently. Sediment will not allow the heat to transfer to the water in the tank, which sends the heat up the flue. You may try draining a few gallons of water off the bottom of the water heater tank. This is done by attaching a drain hose to the valve at the bottom of the tank. Allow it to drain for about five minutes.
WARNING: HOT WATER IS DANGEROUS. DISCHARGE THE WATER INTO A FLOOR DRAIN, LAUNDRY TUB OR BATHTUB. HOT WATER WILL KILL YOUR GRASS IF DISCHARGED ONTO THE LAWN. HOT WATER WILL CRACK A TOILET BOWL IF DISCHARGED INTO THE TOILET. Many newer models of water heaters have a new feature that prohibits the buildup of sediment in the tank. If your heater is an older model, it may be cost effective to replace the water heater if the buildup is severe.

I am hearing a whistle sound coming from my plumbing system. What could cause this?
The sound you are describing is usually caused by a toilet fill valve that is slowly leaking. To locate the leaking toilet, remove the lid of each toilet tank and adjust the fill valve mechanism until it stops. Once you have found the toilet causing the problem, repair or replace the fill valve.
Why am I losing water pressure in my shower?
Your shower head could be plugged with water deposits such as rust and dirt from your pipes. You could try to remove the shower head from the pipe coming out of the wall and check it for deposits. Clean the shower head gently with an old toothbrush and rinse it to remove all the dirt. Also run the shower without the shower head on to possibly remove any left-over dirt in the pipes to prevent the shower head from plugging up again. If cleaning your shower head did not take care of your low water pressure, contact J.C. Enriquez Plumbing, Heating & Cooling at (210) 679-6020.
My hot water seems to be hotter than I think I need. What can I do?
Most people are comfortable with their hot water set at 120°F, which is also the new standard that manufacturers use when pre-setting it at the factory. If you have an older model, set the thermostat at medium. On a gas model, there is a dial on the front of the gas valve. On electric models, the thermostats (there may be two) are concealed behind the two panels on the side of the tank.
NOTE: Turn off the electricity before removing the panels. There are exposed wires behind the panels containing HIGH VOLTAGE.

What happens when tree roots get inside plumbing lines?
If left undisturbed, the roots will completely fill the pipe with multiple hair-like root masses at each point of entry. The root masses quickly become clogged with toilet tissue, grease and other debris flowing from homes and businesses to the main sewer, resulting in reduced
