AfterHVAC Company in Kirby, TX
Most HVAC calls in Kirby run $150 – $700 depending on whether it’s a quick capacitor swap or a full furnace control-board replacement. We’re Brandt HVAC, and we handle heating and cooling work specifically for Kirby’s older ranch homes and the permitting quirks that come with being a city completely surrounded by San Antonio. Call us at (984) 538-9003 when you need a technician who knows the difference between Kirby’s inspection process and San Antonio’s.
Our Main Kirby Services
Kirby homeowners call us most often for cooling repairs in July and heating repairs in January, but staying ahead of breakdowns with seasonal maintenance saves the most money long-term.
AC Repair in Kirby
Kirby’s 100°F+ summers and Gulf humidity push compressors and capacitors past their limits. We commonly find low refrigerant from corroded line sets and collapsed flex duct in those shallow 1960s attics. Our technicians arrive with photo ID badges, and you’ll get their name and photo before they knock. AC Repair in Kirby covers everything from emergency no-cool calls to refrigerant leak detection and sealed system repairs, all with a written price before any work starts.
Furnace Repair in Kirby
Gas furnace igniter failures and cracked heat exchangers top our winter call list in Kirby. Many of these ranch homes still run original 80% furnaces in tight utility closets where airflow is marginal. We test combustion safety, check for carbon monoxide, and give you a written repair cost before touching a tool. Furnace Repair in Kirby includes our 365-Day Done Right Promise on every fix.
AC Maintenance in Kirby
With systems running 12+ hours daily for five months straight, Kirby’s climate punishes neglected equipment. Our tune-ups include refrigerant pressure testing, capacitor checking, and duct inspection in those brutal attics. We document what we find in a written report, and our technicians aren’t paid on what they sell you. AC Maintenance in Kirby runs $80 – $200 and catches the problems that become $400+ repairs.

Why Kirby Homes Are Different
Kirby is a self-governing enclave city completely surrounded by San Antonio, which means HVAC permits and inspections run through Kirby’s own city hall, not San Antonio’s system. Outside contractors routinely trip on this invisible municipal line, file paperwork with the wrong city, and leave homeowners stranded between two bureaucracies while their project stalls. We’ve seen it delay installs by weeks. Any contractor working Kirby needs to know which jurisdiction applies before pulling the first permit.
The housing stock compounds the challenge. Kirby’s core is 1,000 – 1,400 square foot slab-on-grade ranch homes built in the 1950s – 1970s, many originally for Randolph Air Force Base workers and military families. These places came with undersized duct systems never engineered for modern high-efficiency equipment, and return-air capacity is often inadequate by current standards. The shallow-pitch attics hit 140 – 150°F in July, destroying the foil facing and mastic on original flex duct. Our technicians almost always find at least one fully disconnected or collapsed duct run per job, silently dumping conditioned air into the attic while the homeowner pays for it on their CPS Energy bill.
Gulf-driven humidity keeps latent loads high even when the thermometer reads reasonable. That means compressors work harder, refrigerant seals degrade faster, and mold risk in those cool, damp duct systems is real. Kirby isn’t dry West Texas, and equipment spec’d for drier climates fails early here.
