Lueckemeyer Air & Heating has been the go-to HVAC contractor for Portland homeowners and businesses since 1990. Thirty-six years of hands-on experience. Hundreds of systems installed, repaired, and maintained across San Patricio County. A local company that knows this coastal Texas climate and the demands it puts on every heating and cooling system in the area.
Whether you own a home on the bay side of Portland or manage a commercial property anywhere in the county, we handle the full range of heating and cooling work. Residential customers come to us for everything from a single AC repair to a complete system replacement. Commercial clients call us for routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and planned equipment upgrades. We work across both sides of the market, and we bring the same straightforward approach to every job.
Call us and a real local person answers. We know the streets, the neighborhoods, and the kind of equipment that runs in homes and buildings around here. When you call to schedule, you are talking to someone who actually works here.
Our technicians know the homes and systems in this area, and they come prepared for the full range of HVAC work a property in San Patricio County might need. From a refrigerant leak that is costing you cooling capacity to an airflow problem that leaves one room ten degrees hotter than the rest, we diagnose the fault and fix it right. Work performed by qualified HVAC technicians on every job, every time.
Coastal heat is not forgiving, and a failing air conditioner in this part of Texas is not a minor inconvenience. We handle AC repair calls for systems that are not cooling, running constantly, leaking refrigerant, or making unusual noises. Our technicians service condensers, compressors, evaporator coils, and air handlers, and they carry the parts most commonly needed for same-day repairs on the most popular equipment brands.
When a repair no longer makes financial sense, we handle central air installation and full AC replacement as well. We size the new equipment to your home or building, walk you through the options, and get the new system running. We also perform AC tune-ups to keep a healthy system running at peak efficiency through the long cooling season.
We'll find the fault and set it right.
Portland winters are mild by most standards, but a no-heat call on a cold January night still needs a fast response. We handle furnace repair, furnace replacement, and all varieties of heating system repair. If your furnace is not heating, cycling off too quickly, or running up your utility bills without keeping up with demand, we will track down the cause.
Heat pumps are a popular and practical choice for this climate. We repair heat pumps that are not heating or cooling properly, and we install new heat pump systems for homeowners and commercial properties looking to upgrade. Whether the issue is with the outdoor unit, the reversing valve, or the refrigerant charge, our technicians work through heat pump problems methodically and get the system back in operation.
We'll have your system running again in no time.
Some homes need a full system replacement. Others just need a tune-up. And some properties have specific comfort challenges that a ductless mini-split or a targeted air quality upgrade can solve better than anything else.
We install and service ductless mini-split systems for additions, converted spaces, garages, and buildings without existing ductwork. We handle smart thermostat installation and zoning controls that give you better command over your comfort and energy use. Ductwork repair and sealing is another area where we do a lot of work in this region. Leaky ducts waste conditioned air and drive up utility costs, and they are more common in older homes than most people realize.
On the air quality side, we install whole-home air purifiers, filtration systems, and humidity control equipment. Coastal humidity is a real factor in this area, and the right indoor air quality setup makes a measurable difference in how comfortable and healthy your home feels year-round. Evaporator coil cleaning, energy-efficiency upgrades, and comfort-control zoning round out this side of our work.
We'll get your comfort back on track.
The sooner you call, the sooner your comfort is back, and the same logic applies to preventive maintenance. Catching a small problem in April costs far less than an emergency repair in August when every HVAC contractor in the county is busy.
We offer seasonal tune-ups and full HVAC inspections for both residential and commercial customers. A standard maintenance visit covers the critical components of your system: coils, filters, refrigerant charge, electrical connections on the HVAC equipment, thermostat calibration, and overall system performance. We check what needs checking and flag anything that looks like it could become a problem before the peak season hits.
Annual maintenance keeps your equipment running efficiently, extends the life of the system, and gives you peace of mind going into the hottest months of the year. We offer prompt response, even for last-minute comfort calls, so if you have been putting off scheduling a tune-up, give us a call and we will get it on the calendar.
We'll get the job done and the system running.
A system that goes down in the middle of a Texas summer is a genuine emergency. Temperatures in this part of the coast can push well into the nineties for weeks at a stretch, and a home without air conditioning becomes uncomfortable within hours and potentially dangerous for elderly residents, young children, and pets.
We take emergency calls for no-heat, no-cool, and complete system-down situations. We offer same-day service options and after-hours availability because comfort problems do not wait for business hours. When you call us with an emergency, we work to get a technician to you as quickly as possible.
Arrives fast. Repairs it right. Priced fair.
Whether it is a weekend breakdown, an after-hours failure, or a system that stops working the day before company arrives, we are available and ready to respond.
We'll find the fault and set it right.
The quality of any HVAC job comes down to the people doing the work. We have built our team around technicians who know this equipment and take the work seriously. They show up on time, work cleanly, and explain what they find before they start.
Our technicians have hands-on experience across a wide range of equipment types and property configurations. They work on residential systems in single-family homes and multi-unit buildings, and they handle commercial HVAC equipment in office buildings, restaurants, retail spaces, and light industrial properties. That range of experience matters when your system does not fit a simple diagnosis.
Every job is handled by someone who knows what they are doing and stands behind the work they deliver.
For residential and commercial HVAC work alike, the basics matter: show up when scheduled, diagnose accurately, price honestly, and fix it right the first time. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every commercial call.
Property managers, restaurant operators, office managers, and retail owners in Portland and across San Patricio County call us for commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, planned system replacements, and ongoing maintenance. A commercial system going down during business hours costs money, and we understand that urgency. We respond quickly, work efficiently, and keep disruption to your operation to a minimum.
We use transparent pricing with no hidden fees on any HVAC job. Before work begins on a commercial property, you know what the repair or replacement will cost. No surprise invoices, no add-ons that were not discussed, no pressure to approve work that was not in the original scope.
We'll get the job done and the system running.
Getting your comfort problem handled starts with a quick call. From that first conversation, we aim to give you a clear picture of what the work involves and what it will cost. HVAC repair costs vary depending on the system type, the age of the equipment, and what the technician finds during the diagnosis. Replacement and installation costs depend on the size of the system, the equipment selected, and the scope of the installation. We explain all of that before any work begins.
We provide no-pressure estimates, priced up front. You will not feel pushed toward a more expensive option or rushed into a decision. If a repair makes more sense than a replacement, we will tell you. If the equipment is at the end of its useful life and a new system is the better investment, we will explain why and let you decide.
Homeowners and commercial clients both deserve straight answers about cost. That is how we have operated for 36 years, and it is not something we plan to change.
We'll get your comfort back on track.
Since 1990, we have been working in Portland, across San Patricio County, and into the surrounding communities. Our service area covers Corpus Christi, Ingleside, Aransas Pass, Gregory, Sinton, Taft, Rockport, and Mathis. If you are within reach of Portland, there is a good chance we have worked in your neighborhood, your building type, or on your exact model of equipment.
That kind of local experience is hard to replicate. We know how coastal humidity affects ductwork and equipment longevity. We know the housing stock in this part of Texas, the system sizes that tend to run in homes built in different eras, and the common failure points that show up after a hard summer. Thirty-six years of working in one area builds a depth of knowledge that no amount of general training can replace.
We take code-compliant HVAC work seriously on every job, whether it is a straightforward repair or a full system installation. Doing the job right the first time is not just a slogan. It is the reason customers in this area have called us back year after year.

That local familiarity helps them arrive prepared and work efficiently. You are not getting someone who is learning the area on your time.
We provide no-pressure estimates, priced up front, before any work begins. You will know what the job costs before we start, and the invoice will match what was quoted. We do not add fees that were not discussed, on any HVAC job.
Our technicians have hands-on experience across a wide range of equipment types and property configurations, from older residential builds to newer construction and commercial properties.

Call (361) 282-6149 and we will work to get a technician to you as quickly as possible.
If something is not right after we complete a job, call us and we will make it right. We stand behind the work we deliver, and we do not leave customers with unresolved problems. Our goal on every call is to fix the issue correctly the first time, but if a follow-up is needed, we treat it as seriously as the original job.
Our goal on every call is straightforward: do the job right, be honest about what it costs, and leave the customer with a system that works. We have operated that way since 1990, and it is the reason customers in this area have called us back year after year. That consistency is what we are most proud of.

How do I know if my system needs repair or full replacement?
If your system is more than 12 to 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has lost efficiency noticeably, replacement is often the better financial decision. We will assess the situation honestly and walk you through both options with a clear estimate for each so you can decide without pressure.
What are common signs of a refrigerant or airflow problem?
Warm air blowing from the vents, ice forming on the outdoor unit or refrigerant lines, unusually high energy bills, or a system that runs constantly without reaching the set temperature can all point to a refrigerant or airflow issue. A technician visit is the right next step; these problems do not resolve on their own.
Why is one room in my home hotter or colder than the rest?
Uneven temperatures usually point to ductwork leaks, a blocked or undersized duct run, an airflow imbalance in the system, or a zoning issue. We inspect ductwork and airflow as part of our diagnostic process and can identify where the problem is coming from.
Transparent Upfront Pricing
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins, and the invoice reflects what we quoted. There are no surprise fees added after the fact on any HVAC job.
How often should I schedule a maintenance tune-up?
We recommend twice a year: once in the spring before you lean on your air conditioner and once in the fall before heating season. Regular maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive ones and keeps the system running at its best efficiency.
What does a seasonal tune-up actually cover?
A typical tune-up includes cleaning the coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections on the equipment, testing controls and thermostat response, and verifying that airflow is balanced throughout the system. We also flag anything that looks like it may need attention before the next season.
What strange noises from my HVAC unit should I pay attention to?
Banging, grinding, or screeching sounds usually point to a mechanical problem such as a loose or failing blower motor, belt, or compressor component. Clicking at startup or shutdown can be normal, but persistent clicking may indicate a control or relay issue. Any noise that is new or getting louder is worth a call.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
Comfort problems do not wait for a convenient time, and neither do we. We take same-day and urgent calls for no-heat, no-cool, and system-down situations throughout the Portland area.
Can I get same-day service if my system goes down?
Yes. We take same-day and urgent calls for no-heat, no-cool, and system-down situations. Call us and we will find the earliest available time. The sooner you call, the sooner we can get someone out to you.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier help on the Gulf Coast?
Standard air conditioning removes some moisture from the air, but in a climate as humid as San Patricio County, it often is not enough to bring indoor humidity to a truly comfortable level. A whole-home dehumidifier works alongside your existing HVAC system to manage moisture independently, which improves comfort and can reduce the load on your air conditioner.
Work Performed by Qualified HVAC Technicians
Every repair, installation, and maintenance visit is handled by qualified HVAC technicians who know the homes, systems, and climate conditions in this part of the Gulf Coast.
What does a thermostat or smart-control upgrade involve?
We remove the old thermostat, confirm the existing wiring is compatible, install the new unit, and test communication with your heating and cooling equipment. For Wi-Fi or smart-home-compatible thermostats, we walk you through the setup and make sure everything is working correctly before we leave.
How do I know if a dirty filter or coil is hurting my system?
A clogged filter restricts airflow, which forces the system to work harder and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze. A dirty coil reduces the system's ability to transfer heat efficiently. Both problems show up as reduced cooling or heating output, higher energy bills, and longer run times. Changing filters regularly and scheduling annual coil cleaning are the simplest ways to avoid these issues.
Do I need to be home when the technician arrives?
Someone should be home or available to provide access to the indoor unit, the outdoor condenser, and any areas of the home relevant to the problem. Clearing the space around the equipment before we arrive helps us get to work quickly and keeps the visit efficient.
Call us at (361) 282-6149 and we will answer your questions, walk you through your options, and get a service visit scheduled at a time that works for you.
