AC Repair & Heating in Seabrook, TX
Seabrook is on the north shore of Galveston Bay. Marinas and waterfront restaurants line one side of town, with inland subdivisions behind them. A house on the water and a house six streets back need different equipment, and we quote them that way.

On the water or a few streets back
Along the bay-facing streets near Pine Gully Park, Lakeshore and Bayport Blvd, salt wears standard outdoor units out young. Coils corrode and lose capacity. Contactors pit and stop pulling in. Capacitors give out more often than inland, and weathered fittings start to leak refrigerant.
For those addresses we install marine-grade equipment, meaning factory-coated coils on stainless mounting hardware, set on pads with corrosion-resistant straps. Inland Seabrook wears more like an ordinary suburb. Calls there run to capacitors and drain clogs, sometimes a tired blower motor. Standard equipment with the same warranty does the job.
Seabrook homeowners ask
Do I need marine-grade equipment on the bay side of Seabrook?
If your street takes direct salt off the water, yes. Standard galvanized outdoor cabinets wear out early there. Coated coils add a modest cost, and in our experience they last noticeably longer. A few streets inland, standard equipment is usually fine.
Does a bayfront house cost more to repair?
Per repair, no. Diagnostic $99, or $79 for new customers, waived when you approve the repair. Capacitor $180 to $320. Contactor $190 to $280. Refrigerant leak search and recharge $350 to $650. Bayfront homes just need capacitors more often than inland ones.
Our restaurant's rooftop unit quit on a Friday night. Can you come now?
Yes. Waterfront restaurant calls get a tech that night. Rooftop and walk-in cooler parts stay stocked for them. Nights and weekends are billed at the weekday rate.
Does 77586 include El Lago and Taylor Lake Village?
It does. We cover the whole ZIP, from Old Seabrook and Pine Gully Park out to Todville.
Waterfront restaurants
Many of the restaurants along the Seabrook waterfront call us when a rooftop unit stops cooling at 7pm on a Friday. The same trucks that handle houses handle those. We stock rooftop and walk-in cooler parts for them, so nobody drives back to the shop mid-call.
Heat pumps by the water
Coastal Seabrook heats mostly with heat pumps. Gas service thins out near the water, so furnaces show up mainly in older inland homes off NASA Parkway. Winter is short. A bayfront diagnostic in January starts where it would in July. We check the coil fins and the contactor for corrosion first, then the electrical disconnect, since that's where the trouble usually starts out here.
Bay humidity keeps indoor coils wet longer than inland. A UV light or MERV-13 filtration helps keep growth off them, and a whole-home dehumidifier settles a waterfront house where the AC short-cycles. Older homes can get duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning in one stop.
We pull the City of Seabrook mechanical permit on every install. Installs and repairs carry 12 months of parts and labor coverage, then the manufacturer covers parts for a term set by the brand. Texas license TACLA32678.

"Matthew was here previously and he came back to check a small problem for us. He took care of it within 5 minutes. He was up in the attic and must have sweated off 5 lbs. in the short time he was up there. Thanks for the quick response."
