Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode

No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Heating and air conditioning service built around Corpus Christi
We keep licensed, background-checked technicians on the road in Corpus Christi and the surrounding 78466 service area, so a no-cool or no-heat call usually gets a same-visit fix rather than a return trip.
Because Texas swings between seasons quickly, a lot of our Corpus Christi calls come in the first hot or cold snap of the year — systems that sat idle for months and then get asked to run flat out.
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.

Corpus Christi78466 HVAC questions, answered
What causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Corpus Christi we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during March through November. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Corpus Christi is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
How quickly can a technician get to Corpus Christi?
For the 78466 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.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Corpus Christi 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.
Should I repair my system or replace it?
The usual rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a replacement and the equipment is over ten years old, replacement generally wins. We will run that comparison with you on site and show you the maths — and if the honest answer is a $180 capacitor rather than a $9,000 system, that is the answer you get.
