AC Repair & Heating in Nassau Bay, TX
Nassau Bay sits across NASA Parkway from Johnson Space Center. Construction started in 1962 for the new NASA workforce, the first families moved in by 1964, and Apollo astronauts lived here. The city incorporated in 1970. Much of that original architecture is still standing. We fit modern HVAC into those houses without changing their bones.

Customers who want the numbers
Plenty of our Nassau Bay customers spent their careers in aerospace, engineering or science, and some still work at the space center. They want to see the readings along with our conclusion, which suits us fine. On request, a diagnostic here comes with static pressure and refrigerant subcooling data. A replacement quote comes with the Manual J printout, and we'll lay equipment options side by side if you'd like to compare them.
You get a written quote with photos before we touch anything. If it's a judgment call between repairing and replacing, you see both prices and make the decision. Every repair and install carries 12 months of parts and labor coverage, and we pull the City of Nassau Bay mechanical permit.
1960s houses and R-22 holdouts
A 1960s ranch was never designed around modern HVAC. Mechanical closets are tight. Attic access is limited. The ducts were sized for the original equipment and still are. We retrofit with low-profile air handlers and use side-discharge condensers when the old pad location is awkward. Where a single-zone system can't keep a split-level comfortable, we add zoning. Original mid-century details stay where they are.
Blower motors worn out on old air handlers lead our call list here, often along with contactors pitted from decades of cycling. Capacitors and refrigerant work on aging line sets come next. Heat pumps carry most of the winter, since a lot of Nassau Bay never had gas run to it. Vaulted ceilings and big window walls make these houses lovely to live in and tricky to cool.
Asbestos: test first
Some Nassau Bay homes still have original asbestos-wrap insulation on the ducts. We test before disturbing any duct work and bring in a licensed abatement contractor when it's needed. Leaving the material in place only works if the new equipment fits the exact original cabinet footprint, and modern variable-speed air handlers seldom do. The abatement gets documented for your records.
Questions from Nassau Bay
How fast can you get to Nassau Bay?
Morning calls usually get a tech the same day. We're about 30 minutes out off-peak, and Nassau Bay is on the same daily loop as Clear Lake, so afternoon calls rarely wait past the next morning.
Can I see the actual readings from my diagnostic?
Yes. Ask, and the tech will walk you through the static pressure and subcooling numbers at the unit and put them on the written report.
My system still runs on R-22. Should I replace it before it quits?
It's worth planning for. Those systems are old by now, and a cold snap or a heat wave is often what finishes them. We'd rather go over options with you in October than in January, when you'd be choosing in a hurry.
Do I need coastal-rated equipment in Nassau Bay?
On the water, yes. Homes on Lake Nassau and the bay-facing lots get enough salt to justify coated coils, which add a modest cost. Inland streets do fine with standard equipment and a coil rinse each year. We decide by the address.
Did Ike flood Nassau Bay?
The lakefront streets, yes. Ike's surge in 2008 came up lower Clear Creek into the lakefront properties, and Harvey flooded some low backyards along the inlet in 2017. When we replace a lakefront outdoor unit, we check the flood zone and raise the pad.
