AC Repair & Heating in Dickinson, TX
Dickinson took heavy flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017. A lot of homes had air handlers raised to the attic post-flood, equipment replaced under FEMA elevation requirements, and ductwork rebuilt from scratch. Some of those installs were done well. Some weren't. We see the results every week.

Air handlers raised to the attic, often poorly
Many Dickinson homes had air handlers elevated to the attic after Harvey. Done well, that's a good move. Done poorly, it creates new problems: refrigerant lines too long for proper subcooling, condensate routing that backs up at the slope of the drain pan, and undersized returns now that the air handler is fighting more static pressure. We re-engineer these installs when we see them. Sometimes the fix is a $200 condensate line reroute. Sometimes it's a full system reset.
What we see most in Dickinson homes
The post-Harvey installs created a regional pattern that doesn't show up anywhere else in our coverage area. The most common diagnostic finding here is a condensate drain that's been routed at insufficient slope or dumps into a location it shouldn't, usually because the rushed post-flood install prioritized speed over execution. Behind that, the universal calls apply: capacitor replacement ($180 to $320), worn blower motors on hastily-installed equipment, and refrigerant work where the line set was extended improperly during the elevation move ($350 to $650 for diagnosis and R-410A recharge). The compressor-replacement conversation (typically $1,800 to $3,500) comes up earlier here than on inland systems because the original post-Harvey equipment is now seven-plus years old.
Bayou-side and Cemetery Road
The Dickinson Bayou neighborhoods (Bayou Lakes, Bayou Maison, Forest Cove) and the Cemetery Road corridor saw the worst of the 2017 flooding. We've been on most of those streets multiple times since. We know which homes elevated equipment to FEMA's specs and which homes did the minimum to get through the inspection. The follow-up service work tells you which is which.
