A Kyle replacement has to survive the way houses are built there. Two-story slab homes with attic equipment dominate. Downtown Kyle is smaller and older. Hays County south of Austin is hot, bright, and less breezy than people expect once the houses are close together.
Kyle grew on production housing. Plum Creek is further along and has systems aging out of the builder years. Newer sections are still showing install quality problems: undersized returns, condensers in full afternoon sun, and thermostats that satisfy the room they are in while the rest of the house waits.
AC Installation issues we see in Kyle
West-facing glass the original load calc ignored
A Kyle afternoon can overwhelm a system that looked fine on paper. We look at the glass and the ductwork before we add a half ton out of habit.
First-cycle replacements in Plum Creek
Homeowners are choosing between a major repair and a new system on equipment that was never premium. We price both and include any duct corrections the new system would still need.
What the visit includes
- Existing tonnage versus the house as it is today
- Duct condition, returns, and obvious leakage
- Electrical capacity and disconnect location
- Condenser location, clearance, and drainage
- Indoor coil match and line set condition
- Thermostat location and whether zoning is already there

How we handle the job
01Survey the house
We look at rooms, glass, attic ducts, and the equipment that is there. Photos are part of the quote.
02Quote options, not a single take-it-or-leave-it number
Good, better, and the duct work each option still needs. Efficiency is explained in plain language, not as a sticker.
03Install and walk through
Commissioning includes airflow, drainage, and a thermostat you know how to use. We haul off the old equipment.

Only if the old tonnage was right. We check the house first. Oversizing is a common Texas mistake and it shows up as short cycling and poor humidity control.
Removal of the old equipment, the new indoor and outdoor match we agreed on, electrical and drainage connections, thermostat setup, commissioning, and a walkthrough. Duct changes are quoted on their own line if you need them.
A straightforward split-system replacement is usually one day. Homes with two systems, difficult access, or duct repairs can take longer, and that is part of the quote.
