Lockhart AC & Heating Repair
Lockhart, the Caldwell County seat, is known for its historic courthouse and its barbecue. The Texas Legislature named it the Barbecue Capital of Texas. Air Care Today serves Lockhart homes with AC and heating work and its restaurants with refrigeration and commercial HVAC.
Getting to Lockhart
Lockhart is about 18 miles northeast of San Marcos via State Hwy 142. We serve homes and businesses around the courthouse square and throughout town, and the rural area nearby.
Lockhart homes and HVAC
Lockhart has many older homes near downtown, including historic houses with high ceilings and ductwork added after construction. Newer subdivisions have grown on the edges of town as the Austin area has expanded south and east. Rural properties around Lockhart often use heat pumps or propane where natural gas isn't available.
Climate and local conditions
Lockhart is on the Blackland Prairie east of I-35, with hot, humid summers, mild winters and few big trees in many newer neighborhoods. Restaurant kitchens add their own heat load, so walk-in coolers, reach-ins and kitchen HVAC work hard all year, and hardest in summer.
Many Lockhart homes and businesses sit in full sun with little shade, and restaurant kitchens add heat of their own. That makes cooling capacity, airflow and clean coils especially important. We can look at both the comfort side and the refrigeration side of a food business on the same visit.
Tips for Lockhart homeowners and businesses
- Restaurants: keep condenser coils clean. Kitchen grease and smoke coat them quickly.
- Older homes with high ceilings may benefit from ceiling fans to help the AC.
- Check door gaskets on walk-ins and reach-ins regularly. A bad seal makes the system run nonstop.
