When an East Texas summer hits triple digits, a failing air conditioner stops being an inconvenience. Napps repairs, replaces, and maintains cooling systems across Longview — with a real diagnosis, a flat-rate price before we start, and technicians who have worked this region since 1957.
Napps Cooling — Longview & East Texas since 1957
From a capacitor that failed on the hottest afternoon of the year to a full system replacement, Napps handles the whole range — with an honest diagnosis and a clear price before any work begins.
Warm air, short cycling, or a system that won't start at all. Our technicians diagnose the actual fault rather than replacing parts on guesswork — then tell you what failed and why before touching anything.
A new system is only as good as the sizing and the install. Napps performs a proper load calculation, matches the equipment to your home, and installs it so it delivers the efficiency you actually paid for.
The vast majority of mid-summer breakdowns are preventable. A spring tune-up catches weak capacitors, low refrigerant, and dirty coils while they are still cheap problems instead of emergency calls.
Additions, garages, shops, sunrooms, and older homes without ductwork. A ductless mini-split cools the room you actually use without the cost and disruption of running new duct through the whole house.
A cooling failure during an East Texas heat wave is a genuine health risk for older adults, infants, and anyone with a respiratory condition. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year.
Your air conditioner moves every cubic foot of air in your home through the same duct system. Filtration, humidity control, and duct cleaning decide what that air carries with it — especially through East Texas allergy season.
Plenty of companies push replacement because it is the bigger ticket. The right answer depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, what refrigerant it uses, and what your utility bills have been doing.
If the system is under roughly ten years old, the repair costs well under a third of a replacement, and it has been reliable up to now, repairing it is straightforward value. A capacitor, contactor, or fan motor is a routine fix — not a reason to sell you a new system.
View AC Repair →Once a system passes twelve to fifteen years, needs a major component such as a compressor or evaporator coil, and is already costing you more each summer to run, replacement usually wins on total cost. We will show you the numbers rather than asking you to take it on faith.
View Installation →R-22 has been phased out of production in the United States. If your system still runs on it, any refrigerant leak becomes expensive to fix because the supply is limited and recycled. That single factor often tips an older system from repair toward replacement.
Book a System Assessment →An oversized air conditioner cools fast, shuts off early, and never runs long enough to pull humidity out of the air — so the house feels clammy and the equipment wears out sooner. We size from a load calculation on your actual home, not a rule of thumb based on square footage.

| System Age | Typical Recommendation | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10 years | Repair Usually | Still well inside service life; parts are available and affordable |
| 10–14 years | Depends on the repair cost | Weigh repair against efficiency gains and remaining life |
| 15+ years | Usually replace | Rising failure rate, older refrigerant, much lower efficiency |
| Any age, R-22 | Assess carefully | Phased-out refrigerant makes leak repairs costly |

No runaround, no vague hourly estimates, no pressure to buy a system you do not need. Here is exactly what happens when you call Napps.
Reach us at 903-758-6482 or use the form below. Emergency cooling calls are answered 24 hours a day.
A licensed technician tests the system properly and identifies the actual fault — not a guess based on the symptom you described.
You get a flat-rate price and a plain explanation of what failed before any work starts. Repair and replace options where both are viable.
We complete the work, verify the system is cooling to spec, and explain what caused the failure so you can avoid a repeat.
Air conditioners rarely die without warning. Catching these early in Longview usually means a routine repair instead of an emergency call in the middle of a July heat wave.
Three generations of East Texas families have called the same company. That only happens if the diagnosis is honest and the work holds up through the summer.

The questions we are asked most often about air conditioning repair and replacement in Longview, TX.
It depends entirely on which component failed. A capacitor or contactor is among the least expensive repairs on a system; compressor or evaporator coil work sits at the opposite end. Rather than quote a range that may not apply to your system, Napps diagnoses the actual fault and gives you a flat-rate price before any work starts — so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Twelve to fifteen years is the general expectation, but systems in this region often land at the lower end. Our cooling season is long and our humidity is high, so equipment here simply runs more hours under harder conditions than the same unit would elsewhere. Annual maintenance is the single largest factor in whether a system reaches the top of that range or falls short of it.
Under ten years old with a repair costing well below a third of replacement, repair is usually the better value. Past fifteen years, with a major component failing and bills climbing each summer, replacement typically wins on total cost of ownership. Systems still running R-22 refrigerant deserve a closer look either way, because the phase-out makes leak repairs expensive. We will give you both sets of numbers where both options are real.
The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor stopping the compressor while the fan keeps running, a badly clogged filter or coil restricting airflow, or a frozen evaporator coil. If you can see ice on the refrigerant lines, switch the system off and call — continuing to run a frozen system risks damaging the compressor, which is the most expensive part to replace.
Once a year at minimum, ideally in spring before the cooling season starts. If you have a heat pump that both heats and cools, twice a year is better because the system runs year round. Most of the emergency calls we take in July trace back to a problem that a spring tune-up would have caught while it was still a small, inexpensive repair.
