Alvin jobs from our records
Here are eleven jobs from Alvin in our 2025 and 2026 records, listed by month and ZIP, with no customer names or street addresses:
• 77511, December 2025: installed a 3-ton gas horizontal unit and replaced the return plenum.
• 77511, December 2025: installed a tankless water heater.
• 77511, December 2025: a shower supply line started leaking and the homeowner shut off the main; we made a temporary repair and booked the whole-house repipe for that weekend.
• 77511, August 2025: installed a complete 3.5-ton gas horizontal system.
• 77511, June 2025: new 4-ton evaporator coil with a filter dryer, PVC drain and float switch.
• 77511, June 2025: replaced a blower motor.
• 77511, June 2025: visited a house built in the 1950s whose owner, getting ready to sell, needed a major repipe.
• 77511, April and May 2025: three quality-control visits on systems we installed in 2024, working through our checklist: flush and vacuum the drain lines, check pressures.
• 77511, February 2025: replaced a package unit.
• 77511, January 2026: installed a thermostat.
• 77511, April 2026: warranty visit for a humidity complaint on a system we installed, a follow-up to our visit the month before.
All of it is in 77511, the only Alvin ZIP code. In the last two years about three of every five jobs here were AC or heating and about one in three was plumbing.
Gas systems laid on their sides: AC and furnace replacement in 77511
Three of the biggest jobs above are the same kind: a gas furnace and AC coil installed horizontally, the layout used when the system sits in an attic or a closet. Census figures put the median 77511 home at 1987, so many houses are on a second or third generation of equipment, and a change of the return plenum, as in December 2025, is often part of the swap. Estimates on new systems are free, and any major brand except American Standard is fair game. Labor on a new install is warranted for one year, and the manufacturer covers parts on its own schedule. See AC replacement and installation.
Return visits on systems we installed: quality checks, humidity and warranty calls
Our Alvin records show something plain: we go back. Three quality-control visits in April and May 2025 went to systems we installed in 2024, and the April 2026 humidity call was a second visit, not a first. A house that feels sticky at the right temperature is usually airflow, drain or charge, so we check those in that order. For ongoing care see AC maintenance and AC repair; a blower motor, like the one replaced in June 2025, is a repair, not a replacement.
Repipes and shower lines in Alvin houses built before 1980
About two in five 77511 homes were built before 1980. The December 2025 shower line shows how it goes: a supply line gives out, the water goes off, and a temporary fix holds until the whole house can be repiped on a weekend. The 1950s house in June 2025 was a repipe estimate ahead of a sale. Leaks, failing supply lines and broken shower valves are all work we take on; slab leak repair is not. See repiping, water leak repair and plumbing repair.
Tankless and tank water heaters, plus gas piping
The December 2025 tankless install is typical of the water heater work here; we also see tanks that leak, pilot lights that won’t stay lit and no-hot-water calls. Sediment builds in a tank and scale in a tankless unit, and a yearly service on either one pays off. Gas piping we also install and test; if you ever smell gas, get out of the house and call the gas utility before anyone else. See water heater repair and replacement, tankless water heaters and gas lines.
Thermostats, drains and sewer lines
Swapping or fixing a thermostat is a short visit; see thermostat repair and installation. Drain calls here are mostly slow kitchen sinks and backed-up toilets. For a sewer complaint the camera goes in the line before anything else, and the video is yours to keep as part of the free diagnostic. Old cast iron and clay lines are not jetted. See drain cleaning, sewer line repair and hydro jetting.
