Frequently Asked Questions About AC Installation in Corpus Christi
Several factors point toward replacement. Age is the big one. If your system is over 10 to 12 years old in a coastal climate like Corpus Christi, it’s entering the high-risk zone where major components start failing. If your system uses R-22 refrigerant, which was phased out in 2020, repairs have become extremely expensive and replacement makes more financial sense. Look at repair frequency. If you’ve called for repairs two or three times in the past couple of years, those costs add up. Compare the repair quote to the cost of a new system. If a single repair costs more than half what you’d pay for a new unit, replacement usually makes more sense. Consider energy bills too. Older systems are far less efficient than modern equipment, so a new system can pay for itself through lower monthly bills. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your options, not a high-pressure sales pitch.
Sizing an AC system correctly is critical, and it’s not as simple as matching square footage to tonnage. We perform a load calculation that factors in your home’s square footage, ceiling height, insulation levels, window size and orientation, roof color, number of occupants, ductwork condition, and local climate data. In Corpus Christi, the high humidity means we also consider latent load, which is the energy required to remove moisture from the air. An oversized system cools quickly but doesn’t run long enough to dehumidify properly, leaving your home clammy and uncomfortable. An undersized system runs constantly and never reaches the set temperature on the hottest days. Proper sizing means your system runs long enough to remove humidity while still keeping up with the heat load. We don’t guess or use rules of thumb. We calculate.
A standard replacement where we’re removing an old system and installing a new one in the same location typically takes four to eight hours, which is one working day for most jobs. If we’re adding or modifying ductwork, installing a new line set, upgrading the electrical panel, or converting from one system type to another, the job may extend to two days. Mini-split installations can often be completed in half a day for a single-zone system or a full day for multi-zone configurations. Before we start, we’ll give you a realistic timeline so you can plan accordingly. We aim to have your new system up and running the same day whenever possible.
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures how much cooling output you get for each unit of electricity consumed, averaged over a typical cooling season. Higher SEER means lower energy bills. The current minimum for new systems is 14 or 15 SEER depending on the region. High-efficiency systems range from 16 to 20+ SEER. In Corpus Christi, where your AC runs eight to ten months per year, the difference between a 14 SEER and an 18 SEER system can mean hundreds of dollars in annual savings. However, higher SEER equipment costs more upfront. We’ll help you calculate the payback period so you can decide whether to invest in higher efficiency or put that money toward other features like variable-speed technology or improved humidity control.
Central AC is the right choice for most whole-home cooling applications, especially if you already have ductwork in place. It’s cost-effective, familiar to most homeowners, and works well with existing infrastructure. Mini-splits, also called ductless systems, are ideal for specific situations: homes without existing ductwork, room additions, garage workshops, converted attics, or areas where extending ductwork would be impractical or expensive. Mini-splits also offer zone control, meaning you can set different temperatures in different rooms and avoid cooling spaces you’re not using. Some homeowners use mini-splits to supplement central AC in problem areas like bonus rooms over garages that are always too hot. We can help you figure out which approach makes sense for your home and budget.
Heat pumps are an excellent choice for South Texas and specifically for Corpus Christi’s mild winters. A heat pump works like an air conditioner in summer, removing heat from your home and releasing it outside. In winter, it reverses that process, extracting heat from the outdoor air and moving it inside. Heat pumps lose efficiency as outdoor temperatures drop below freezing, but Corpus Christi rarely sees sustained freezing weather. For most of our winter, heat pumps operate at high efficiency while providing both heating and cooling in one system. If you’re replacing both an AC and a separate furnace, a heat pump can simplify your equipment while reducing energy costs. We install and service heat pumps and can help you decide if one makes sense for your situation.
Yes. We understand that a new air conditioning system is a major purchase, often costing several thousand dollars or more depending on the equipment and scope of work. We offer financing options through reputable lending partners with competitive rates and flexible terms. Many customers qualify for promotional financing with low or deferred interest if paid within a certain period. Financing allows you to get the system you need now rather than suffering through another summer with an unreliable or inefficient unit. When you request your free estimate, ask about current financing options and we’ll walk you through the application process.
We install all major residential HVAC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Ruud, Goodman, Amana, York, Daikin, American Standard, and others. We also install ductless mini-split systems from Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, LG, Daikin, and Samsung. Because we’re not a factory-authorized dealer for just one brand, we can give you unbiased recommendations based on your budget, your home’s requirements, and what we’ve seen perform well in coastal South Texas conditions. Some brands hold up better to salt air than others. Some have better warranty terms. Some offer specific features that matter for your situation. We’ll help you compare options honestly.
If you live within a few miles of the Gulf, especially in areas like Padre Island, North Padre Island, Port Aransas, or the coastal sections of Flour Bluff, a coastal-rated or corrosion-resistant unit is worth serious consideration. These units feature coated condenser coils, stainless steel hardware, and protective finishes designed to resist salt air corrosion. They cost more upfront, typically a few hundred to a thousand dollars depending on the model. But standard units near the coast often show significant corrosion within three to five years and may fail years earlier than they should. A coastal-rated unit can add five or more years to your system’s lifespan, making it a worthwhile investment for properties with direct Gulf exposure.
