AfterHVAC Company in Converse, TX
Most HVAC calls we get from Converse involve aging systems in 1980s-2000s tract homes that have cycled through multiple military renters and never saw consistent maintenance. Coldharbour Heating & Air dispatches technicians trained on nine major brands, and we back every repair with a written 365-Day Done Right Promise. If your AC quits in July or your furnace fails during a rare freeze, call (817) 402-2972 and a live person picks up, day or night.
Why Converse Homes Are Different
Converse sits directly adjacent to Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and that proximity shapes nearly every service call we make here. Military families move in and out on PCS orders every two to three years, which means HVAC systems routinely go unserviced between tenants. New renters or buyers almost never know whether the previous owner ever changed the filter, charged the refrigerant, or replaced a failing heat strip.
The housing stock tells the rest of the story. Most Converse homes were built between 1980 and 2005 as affordable slab-on-grade tract homes with air-handler closets and ductwork routed through unconditioned attics. Those attic ducts are now 20-40 years old, and in summers that regularly hit 95-100°F from June through September, cooled air leaks into 140-degree attic space before it ever reaches the living room. We also see a lot of one-off replacements, where a prior homeowner swapped the outdoor condenser but left original ductwork and the indoor coil in place, mismatched and inefficient.
Then there is the refrigerant problem. Because so many properties are rental turnovers or recent flips, technicians frequently find R-22 systems that a prior handyman topped off with substitute refrigerant blends. That patch job masks coil leaks and can void any remaining equipment value. Identifying and documenting these systems before a new lease begins has become a recurring call type in the 78109 zip code.
Freeze risk matters too. The February 2021 storm proved that Converse homes with undersized heat strips or no backup heat strategy were vulnerable. Systems here are sized for cooling load, not heating survival, and that gap shows up when a polar event arrives.
Our Main Converse Services
Converse homeowners call us most often for cooling repairs in peak summer and heating repairs after the first cold snap. Each service has its own dedicated Converse page with full details.
AC Repair in Converse
We handle everything from refrigerant leaks to failed capacitors and compressor replacements in Converse’s heat-stressed systems. Because local units run 10-12 hours daily for months, we see more worn contactors and dirty evaporator coils than in milder climates. Every repair comes with a written price before we start and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on paper before we leave. AC Repair in Converse covers common failures, what we stock on our trucks, and how fast we can get to you.
Furnace Repair in Converse
Converse furnace calls spike when a rare freeze hits, often because heat strips failed silently during months of disuse or because a prior tenant never ran the system in heat mode. We test amperage draw on every electric heat element, inspect sequencers, and verify defrost board operation on heat pumps. No heat is an emergency in freezing weather, and our phones are answered live around the clock. Read more about Furnace Repair in Converse.
AC Installation in Converse
New system installs in Converse require careful load calculation because original ductwork was sized for builder-grade equipment and may not handle modern higher-efficiency airflow requirements. We measure static pressure, inspect attic ducts for integrity, and specify matched indoor and outdoor units. A written fixed price, a set install date, and rebate paperwork handled start to finish. Details are on our AC Installation in Converse page.

What Converse Customers Say
"AC died overnight with a newborn in the house. They bumped us up the list and had it running by noon. I about hugged the guy. Fair price even on a rush call."
- Celeste Ngo"The repair was done well and quickly. Scheduling over the phone was a little clunky and I got transferred twice, but the tech himself was great and on time."
- Brett Haygood"Furnace was short cycling all winter. They diagnosed a bad sensor instead of condemning the whole unit like I feared. Cheap fix, honest call."
