Frequently Asked Questions
We serve Corpus Christi and the surrounding Coastal Bend communities. Our primary service area includes Flour Bluff, Padre Island, North Padre Island, Robstown, Port Aransas, Ingleside, Portland, Gregory, Alice, and Aransas Pass. We cover most of Nueces County, San Patricio County, and parts of Kleberg County. If you’re within about 45 minutes of Corpus Christi, we can probably help you. Our technicians know these areas well, including the specific challenges that come with coastal properties near the Gulf versus inland homes closer to Robstown or Alice. When you call, just give us your zip code and we’ll confirm we can get to you.
Yes, and this matters more than most homeowners realize. Beat The Heat HVAC holds a Texas HVAC Contractor License issued by TDLR, which is the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Getting this license requires passing written examinations covering refrigeration, air conditioning, electrical systems, and safety codes. It also requires documenting at least four years of supervised field experience. Beyond the state license, we maintain EPA Section 608 Certification, which is the federal requirement for handling refrigerants like R-410A and the older R-22 Freon. Without this certification, a technician cannot legally recharge your system or repair refrigerant leaks. We also carry full commercial general liability insurance, which protects your home and family if something goes wrong during a repair or installation. Hiring an unlicensed or uninsured contractor puts you at financial and legal risk.
We provide free estimates for new installations and system replacements. This includes a home visit where we assess your current system, measure your space, evaluate your ductwork, and discuss your comfort goals and budget. For repair calls, we charge a diagnostic fee that covers the trip to your home and the time to troubleshoot the problem. If you decide to move forward with our recommended repair, we waive that diagnostic fee and apply it toward the work. This approach keeps us honest. We’re not incentivized to push repairs you don’t need just to justify a free trip.
We offer same-day service for most calls placed before noon. For true emergencies where your AC has completely failed or your heating system is out during a cold snap, we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Most Corpus Christi customers see us within two to four hours of calling. Response times to outlying areas like Alice or Port Aransas may be slightly longer depending on traffic and technician availability. When you call, we’ll give you an honest arrival window so you’re not sitting around wondering when we’ll show up.
We service all major HVAC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Ruud, Goodman, Amana, York, Daikin, American Standard, Bryant, Heil, Tempstar, and Payne. We also work on mini-split systems from Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, LG, and Samsung. If it heats or cools your home, we can diagnose it, repair it, or advise you on replacement options. We’re not locked into any single manufacturer, which means we can give you unbiased recommendations based on your budget, your home’s needs, and what we’ve seen perform best in the Corpus Christi coastal climate.
Yes, we offer financing options for qualifying customers on new installations and major replacements. A new AC system is a significant investment, often ranging from several thousand dollars for a basic replacement to much more for high-efficiency equipment or complete system upgrades. We partner with financing companies that offer promotional rates and manageable monthly payments. When you schedule your free installation estimate, ask about current financing promotions. We’ll walk you through the options so you can make a decision that fits your budget without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.
Local companies like Beat The Heat understand the specific challenges of the Corpus Christi climate. We deal with salt air corrosion on outdoor units, humidity levels that average 76 percent, clogged condensate drains from algae growth, and the unique demands of systems that run eight to ten months per year. National chains rotate technicians in and out. Their workers may have come from Colorado last month and might be in Florida next month. They don’t know that Flour Bluff properties get more salt exposure than homes near Calallen, or that older homes in the Lamar Park area often have undersized ductwork. When you call Beat The Heat, you talk to real people who live here. Ruben Vela, the owner, stands behind every job personally. You’re not a ticket number in a corporate system.
Three factors work against your AC in Corpus Christi: humidity, salt air, and runtime. Our average humidity hovers around 76 percent, which is among the highest in Texas. Your air conditioner has to remove all that moisture before it can effectively cool your home, which puts extra strain on the evaporator coil, blower motor, and condensate drain system. Salt air from the Gulf corrodes outdoor condenser units, eating away at coil fins, electrical connections, and the aluminum housing. Homes within a few miles of the water see significantly faster deterioration. Finally, your system runs nearly constantly from May through October, logging 2,500 or more hours per year compared to maybe 800 hours for a system in a northern state. Without regular maintenance, these three factors can cut your system’s lifespan in half.
AC Maintenance in Corpus Christi
Coastal humidity and salt air destroy HVAC systems faster than anywhere inland. Your air conditioning runs nearly year-round in Corpus Christi, making regular AC maintenance critical for performance and longevity. We’ll clean evaporator and condenser coils, test refrigerant pressure, replace air filters, calibrate thermostats, verify compressor operation, and clear condensate drains before algae causes water damage. Preventive service catches problems like worn capacitors, electrical issues, and airflow restrictions before they cause midnight breakdowns in July. Our maintenance plans include priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and twice-yearly tune-ups that extend your cooling system’s life.
What HVAC maintenance includes:
AC Installation in Corpus Christi
Installing new HVAC equipment requires proper load calculations, not guesswork. We’ll evaluate your home’s heat gain, insulation R-values, ductwork condition, and cooling requirements before recommending air conditioning systems. High-efficiency units with 16+ SEER ratings cost more initially but slash electric bills when AC runs eight months yearly. AC installation includes matched condenser and air handler, refrigerant line set, thermostat wiring, startup testing, and performance verification. We install mini-split ductless systems for room additions, zoning controls for independent temperature management, and programmable thermostats for energy savings. Every system comes with manufacturer’s warranty and commissioning to guarantee reliable cooling from day one.
Heating in Corpus Christi
Winters stay mild most years, but your heating system needs maintenance before occasional freezes hit. We service gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, and dual-fuel HVAC systems that switch automatically between heating modes. Fall tune-ups prepare your climate control before cold weather. We’ll test ignition systems, inspect heat exchangers for cracks, measure carbon monoxide levels, calibrate thermostats, check blower operation, and verify safety controls. When heating fails during a freeze, we’ll respond with same-day service. Heat pumps provide efficient heating and cooling in South Texas climate. Our technicians stock common parts like capacitors, contactors, and thermostats so most repairs happen same visit without waiting for shipments.
