Rockport homes and businesses need the full range of heating and cooling work, and that is what we handle here. A single failing component on an aging system, a heat pump that has never quite kept up with the demands of a Gulf Coast summer, a furnace that runs but does not heat, a full system that has reached the end of its useful life: all of it falls within scope. Your comfort is the whole job, and it gets treated that way.
In a town this size, the housing stock tends toward older builds and properties that have not had a professional look at the HVAC system in a while. Additions that the original ductwork never properly served, equipment running well past its designed service life, and systems that have been losing refrigerant slowly for years are the calls that come in most often. We work on all of it, for homeowners, property owners managing rentals, and commercial operators who need a building to stay comfortable.
Call (361) 282-6149 to get a quote. We are available every day from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Not every HVAC call ends in a replacement, and not every repair is worth making. The decision comes down to what the fault actually is, how old the equipment is, and whether fixing this one thing puts the system in a position to run reliably or just delays the next failure by a season.
A refrigerant leak on a unit that is otherwise in good shape is a repair worth making. A compressor failure on a fifteen-year-old system with a history of problems is a different calculation. The cost of the repair, the cost of the replacement, and what the system is likely to do over the next few years are all part of that conversation. We scope the job on the call and confirm the repair before anything goes ahead, so you have the information you need to make the call.
Where replacement is the right answer, sizing matters more than most people expect. An oversized unit short-cycles and leaves humidity in the air even when the temperature reads correctly. An undersized one runs constantly and never quite catches up. In a coastal climate where the cooling load runs high for most of the year, getting that right from the start is worth the time it takes.
A dirty or damaged evaporator coil is one of the more common reasons an AC system stops cooling effectively without any obvious external sign of failure. When the coil is coated with dust and debris, heat transfer drops, the system has to work harder to reach temperature, and efficiency falls. A coil that has developed a crack or a leak creates a refrigerant problem that compounds the cooling loss. A service visit covers inspection, cleaning, and repair or replacement of the coil depending on what the diagnostic finds.
Leaking ducts send conditioned air into attic space or wall cavities instead of the rooms they are meant to serve. The result is a home that feels uneven, rooms that never quite reach the thermostat setting, and an energy bill that reflects all that lost conditioning. Duct repair and sealing involves locating the leaks, sealing them, and testing airflow to confirm the result. In older properties where the ductwork has never been touched, this is often the fix that makes the biggest practical difference to day-to-day comfort.
The air handler moves conditioned air through the duct system, and the blower motor is what drives it. When a blower motor starts to fail, the first sign is often reduced airflow from the vents or unusual noise during operation. A motor running at the wrong speed affects both comfort and efficiency. A service call covers the motor, the capacitor, the belt if the unit uses one, and the overall condition of the air handler cabinet.
Standing water near the air handler or furnace usually points to a blocked condensate drain, a cracked condensate pan, or a coil that has iced over and is now thawing. Left unaddressed, it causes water damage to the surrounding structure and can lead to mold growth inside the air handler itself. The visit covers finding the source, clearing or repairing the drain, and checking the coil condition that led to the problem.
A cracked heat exchanger is a safety issue as well as a performance one, because it allows combustion gases to mix with the air being circulated through the home. The fault does not always produce obvious symptoms early on. A furnace tune-up or a call about reduced heating performance is often when the inspection happens. If a crack is found, the options are a heat exchanger replacement or a full furnace replacement, depending on the age and condition of the unit.
A system that is low on refrigerant is not just less effective at cooling. It is running under conditions that put additional strain on the compressor, which is the most expensive component in the system to replace. Refrigerant leak diagnosis involves pressure testing and locating the source of the loss before any refrigerant is added. Adding refrigerant to a leaking system without finding and fixing the leak is money spent twice.
A system that stops working entirely is a different kind of problem from one that is running poorly. No cooling in the middle of a Gulf Coast summer and no heat on a cold night are both situations that need attention the same day. Emergency calls are taken every day from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and short-notice work is available when the schedule allows.
Call (361) 282-6149, describe what the system is doing, and we will confirm what the visit covers and what it costs before anything is scheduled.
A rental property with a system down puts a landlord on a short timeline. A commercial space that has to stay open while work is being done needs the job scoped carefully before it starts. We handle both situations. The scope of the work, the time the visit is likely to take, and what access is needed are all confirmed on the call.
Code-compliant work. Clear diagnosis. Pricing set out up front.
The price is set when the job is scoped, not after the work is done. When you call, you get the diagnostic rate and what the service call covers. Once the technician has identified the fault, the repair cost is confirmed before anything goes ahead. No repair proceeds without your approval.
What moves a quote is what the fault turns out to be, what has to be reached to fix it, and whether a repair or a replacement is the better answer. A refrigerant leak that is easy to access costs less to repair than one buried inside the air handler cabinet. A system that needs a single component replaced costs less than one that needs the whole refrigerant circuit addressed. The diagnostic is what tells us which situation we are in.
For installation and replacement work, the quote covers the equipment, the installation scope, and any permits the job requires. Permits handled where the job needs them, so nothing is left unresolved after the work is complete. Ask what is included and you get a straight answer.
When you call, it helps to have a few things in mind: the type of system you have, roughly how old it is if you know, and a clear description of what it is doing or not doing. If the unit has a model number visible on the cabinet, that speeds up the scoping conversation, but it is not required to get a quote.
For rental properties, knowing whether the tenant will be present and whether there are any access restrictions helps us plan the visit properly. For commercial properties, confirming whether the system needs to stay partially operational during the work affects how the job gets scheduled.
Energy-bill concerns treated as a diagnostic clue means that if the bills have climbed without an obvious reason, that is worth mentioning on the call. A system that is running but running inefficiently often shows in the numbers before it shows as a breakdown.
Careful with your home. Clear about the work. Straight on the price. Details on each of these are on the page covering our heating and cooling services.
We cover Rockport and the surrounding communities throughout Aransas County. That includes Fulton, Lamar, Holiday Beach, Aransas Pass, and Bayside. If your property sits anywhere in this part of the Texas Gulf Coast, the service area covers it.
The work is the same regardless of which community the property is in: the diagnostic process, the pricing conversation, and the confirmation before the repair goes ahead all apply across the whole area.
Call (361) 282-6149 if you are not sure whether your address is covered, and we will confirm it on the call.
Call (361) 282-6149 and describe what the tenant has reported.
We will scope the job on the call, confirm what the visit covers and what it costs, and schedule the visit. You do not need to be at the property yourself, but confirming tenant access and any entry instructions before the visit is scheduled helps the job go smoothly. Short-notice work is available when the schedule allows, and emergency calls are taken every day from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
In most cases, yes. Whole-home air filtration and air purifier equipment can be integrated into an existing air handler without a full system replacement. The visit covers sizing the equipment to the existing setup and confirming that the addition does not restrict airflow through the system.
In most cases, yes, though the details depend on the specific job and the layout of the property. A full system replacement typically requires the system to be off for a portion of the day, which affects comfort during that time. Describe the situation when you call and we will confirm what the installation involves and how long the system will need to be offline.
Call (361) 282-6149 and describe the address.
Coverage for properties at the edge of the area we serve is confirmed on the call rather than assumed either way. Most situations can be worked out without a long conversation.
A repair call is for a system that has a specific fault: it is not working, it is not performing the way it should, or something has changed. A maintenance visit is a scheduled check of a system that is working normally, intended to catch small problems before they become failures. If the system has a symptom, book a repair call. If the system is running fine but has not been checked in a while, a maintenance visit is the right starting point. Describe the situation when you call and we will confirm which applies.
Older properties in Aransas County tend to have equipment that has been running for a long time without a professional inspection, ductwork that was never sized properly for additions or layout changes, and refrigerant systems that have been losing charge slowly over multiple seasons. The most common calls are cooling systems that can no longer keep up with the load, furnaces that ignite inconsistently, and duct leaks that leave parts of the home significantly warmer or cooler than the thermostat setting. A diagnostic visit covers all of those possibilities in a single call.
Yes. We cover Rockport and the surrounding communities throughout Aransas County, including Fulton, Lamar, Holiday Beach, Aransas Pass, and Bayside. The service area covers the whole region, and the same pricing and scheduling process applies regardless of which community the property is in.
Call (361) 282-6149 to confirm your address is covered.
Describing what the system is doing is enough.
Whether the AC is blowing warm air, the furnace is making a noise it did not make last season, or the system has stopped responding to the thermostat entirely, call (361) 282-6149 and walk us through it.
We will scope the job, confirm what the visit covers, and set the price before anything is scheduled.

Rockport sits on the Gulf Coast, and the climate here puts real demands on heating and cooling equipment. High heat, persistent humidity, and a long cooling season mean the work ranges from routine seasonal tune-ups to full system replacements, and we handle all of it. The table below lays out what each service covers, who it fits best, and a practical note to help you decide where to start.
| Service | What It Covers | Best For | Helpful Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups | Refrigerant level check, Coil and airflow inspection, Low-voltage control wiring review | Any property that wants to catch small problems before the peak cooling or heating season | Early spring is the best window for an AC tune-up here, before the long Gulf Coast cooling season gets underway |
| Full System Installation & ReplacementMost Popular | Load calculation for the space, Old system removal, New equipment installation and commissioning | Homes or buildings where repeated failures or significant efficiency loss make repair the wrong call | Correct sizing matters especially in a coastal climate where the cooling load is high for much of the year |
| Heat Pump Installation | Load calculation, Refrigerant line set connection, Low-voltage control wiring on the unit | Properties replacing an aging system or adding cooling and heating to a space without existing ductwork via mini-split | Mild-to-moderate Gulf Coast winters mean a heat pump operates efficiently for most of the heating season here |
