We Know Alamo Heights Homes
Many Alamo Heights homes were built between the 1920s and 1960s — Spanish Colonial Revival, Tudor, and mid-century ranch styles that weren't designed for modern HVAC systems. We specialize in retrofitting these homes with efficient, properly-sized equipment that respects the architecture.
If your home still uses R-22 refrigerant, we can evaluate the system and help you compare repair options with replacement equipment using today’s approved lower-GWP refrigerants.
The mature live oaks and pecan trees that line Alamo Heights streets are beautiful — but they drop leaves, pollen, and debris directly onto outdoor condenser units. This reduces efficiency and can cause premature failure if not addressed.
We recommend seasonal condenser cleaning for Alamo Heights homes, especially properties near the heavily-wooded areas along Alamo Heights Nature Trail and Olmos Basin. Ask during scheduling what condenser maintenance is appropriate for your system and property.
Alamo Heights has some of San Antonio's most impressive residences — many over 3,000 square feet with multiple stories. These homes benefit significantly from zoned HVAC systems that maintain different temperatures on different floors.
Whether you're in a renovated estate near the San Antonio Country Club or a newer custom build along Broadway, we design systems that keep every room comfortable without wasting energy.
As an independent city, Alamo Heights has its own zoning laws and building codes that differ from San Antonio proper. Equipment placement, noise levels, and setback requirements all matter — especially in the historic district.
Our installation team is experienced with Alamo Heights permitting and knows how to position outdoor units to meet local requirements while maximizing system performance. No surprises, no code violations.

Many homes in Alamo Heights date back to the 1920s through 1960s — Spanish Colonial Revival cottages along streets like Argo Avenue, Tudor-style homes near Olmos Park, and mid-century ranches throughout the 78209 corridor. These homes often have original ductwork routed through tight crawl spaces, older R-22 refrigerant systems that need upgrading, and unique architectural features that require careful equipment placement. Paradice Air is backed by 21+ years of owner HVAC experience with these types of systems and home styles in the San Antonio area.
Yes. Alamo Heights has its own zoning laws and historic preservation guidelines as an independent city. Outdoor condenser units may need to be positioned to comply with setback requirements and aesthetic standards — especially on homes near the Broadway corridor or in the original historic district. Our technicians are familiar with these requirements and plan installations accordingly.
Standard diagnostic in Alamo Heights is $139 for non-members or $89 for Comfort Club members. Both are waived with repair. Common repairs start from $275 for a contactor to $625 for a condenser motor. After-hours and weekend service adds a $50 surcharge for non-members or a $25 surcharge for Comfort Club members. The member surcharge is waived with repair. New system installations for Alamo Heights homes typically range from $7,195 to $11,995 depending on tonnage and efficiency. All prices include labor, parts, and warranty.
The mature live oak canopy that makes Alamo Heights so beautiful also means outdoor AC units accumulate leaves, pollen, and debris faster — requiring more frequent cleaning. The caliche soil common in the area can shift foundations over time, which stresses ductwork connections. And many of the larger homes (3,000+ sq ft) in neighborhoods near the San Antonio Country Club benefit from zoned HVAC systems to maintain even temperatures across multiple levels.
Alamo Heights is one of our closest service areas — just minutes from our central San Antonio base. Paradice Air offers after-hours and weekend service on a case-by-case basis, depending on schedule and availability. We know the neighborhood well, from the Broadway corridor down to the Olmos Basin.
