Air & Drain Works provides AC repair, AC maintenance and plumbing in Castroville, TX, about 35 minutes west of San Antonio on US 90. Most of our Castroville work is heating and cooling, from service calls and tune-ups to a full system replacement this year.
Second Opinions On Big AC Repairs
A compressor or coil replacement can cost a large share of a new system. Before you pay for one, a second look is reasonable.
This year a Castroville homeowner called us after another company said their 30-plus-year-old Ruud system needed a new compressor. We ran our own diagnosis and walked them through repairing the old system against replacing it, with prices for both.
On another call, a 9-year-old system had a failed evaporator coil. At that age, the coil can still be covered by the manufacturer’s parts warranty, so we check coverage before quoting the repair.

What Should You Check In An Older Castroville Home?
Henri Castro founded Castroville in 1844 with settlers from Alsace, and the town still has buildings from that era, like the Landmark Inn and the Steinbach Haus. The housing mix is older than most of the San Antonio area. The median home was built in 1984, and about 31% of homes are from before 1970. In older homes we check wiring, duct condition and pipe material before recommending a fix, since those often explain why a system or fixture keeps failing.
Plumber In Castroville
Castroville’s water comes from the Edwards Aquifer, and the city went to Stage 1 watering restrictions in 2022. Wasted water matters here, so small leaks are worth fixing.
- Outdoor faucets and yard leaks: we repaired a leaking outdoor faucet in Castroville this year. Small jobs are worth the call.
- Water heaters: repair, replacement and yearly flushes. Aquifer water carries minerals that settle in the bottom of the tank, and flushing them out helps the heater last.
- Leak detection, drain cleaning and water softeners.

Castroville FAQ
Yes. We’ll run our own diagnosis and tell you what we find, even if it matches the first quote. You’ll see the repair price next to a replacement price so you can decide.
Usually, yes. The coil can be replaced on its own, and if the system is still under the manufacturer’s parts warranty, the part may be covered. On an older system, replacing the coil alone can be a poor investment, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case.
Once a year for most tank water heaters. It clears mineral sediment that builds up at the bottom, which can cause popping sounds and shorten the tank’s life.
Yes. This year we made the trip for everything from a leaky outdoor faucet to a full AC replacement.
