Heating and air conditioning service built around Aransas Pass
Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm. Across the 78336 area that translates into a steady stream of failed capacitors, clogged filters, dying blower motors and refrigerant leaks — most of which we can diagnose and repair in one visit.
In the 78336 area we see a lot of attic-mounted air handlers. Attic heat soak in summer and cold-soak in winter both shorten component life and make insulation checks part of a proper diagnosis.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Aransas Pass78336 HVAC questions, answered
How quickly can a technician get to Aransas Pass?
For the 78336 service area our target response time is 2-4 hours from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Aransas Pass most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
What brands do you service in Aransas Pass?
All of them. Our 78336 technicians are trained on Trane, Rheem, American Standard, Heil and essentially every other residential brand sold in Texas, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Aransas Pass see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Texas is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
How often should I change my filter in 78336?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Aransas Pass with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
