IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, New Braunfels! Hope you’re easing into the week feeling refreshed after all the Super Bowl fun last night. There’s plenty happening around town, and we’re here to help you stay in the loop and make the most of the days ahead.

Scroll down for the highlights we’ve picked out for you, and don’t forget that you can always find even more events on our full calendar on our website.

We’re excited to welcome Rise Service Company to The New Braunfels Life partner family. They're a locally owned, family-run HVAC company built right here in the Hill Country.

Rise was founded by high school sweethearts Jake and Hillary. Jake entered the HVAC industry locally, working for well-established companies while earning the experience (over 10 years!), hours, and licensing needed to do things the right way. Through career pivots, partnerships, and plenty of real-life moments (including welcoming four daughters along the way), the couple stayed committed to one goal: building a business together that truly serves people well.

That vision officially became Rise Service Company in January 2026. The name RISE reflects their core values — Resilience, Integrity, Significance, and Excellence — and their mission to raise the standard in home services. One way they’re doing that is through transparent pricing, with clear costs shared upfront so homeowners know exactly what to expect before work begins.

Rise offers full HVAC services including AC repair and installation, heating solutions, indoor air quality, and 24/7 emergency service, all delivered by licensed, insured professionals who focus on fixing first, not upselling.
