AC Repair and HVAC in Calallen, Corpus Christi

The area

Calallen, on the far northwest side of Corpus Christi near the Nueces River, began as an independent rural community and was annexed by the city in 1970. It keeps a strong identity through its own school district, Calallen ISD, and has grown into a major suburban area with a mix of older homes and newer subdivisions.

Heating and cooling inland

Less salt, more heat and dust

Away from the bay, salt corrosion is less of a problem than on the island or in Flour Bluff, but inland areas lose some of the sea breeze and the farm fields to the west send dust into outdoor coils. A dirty condenser coil raises pressures and electric use. Rinsing it with a hose, keeping grass clippings away and changing filters often help. ENERGY STAR recommends keeping the outdoor unit clean and clear (ENERGY STAR, HVAC Maintenance Checklist).

Older homes

Homes from Calallen's earlier days may have systems added long after construction, ducts in tight attics and older electric heat strips.

Newer subdivisions

Builder-installed systems from the 2000s and 2010s are reaching the age where capacitors, fan motors and coils start to fail, and owners are weighing repair against replacement.

Heat pumps

For homes with an AC and heat strips, a heat pump at replacement time cuts winter heating costs with little change in summer. See heat pumps.
