How fast can you actually reach the Hourglass District?
Minutes. Our shop's address is 10226 Curry Ford Rd — the same road the district is built around. No other neighborhood on our map is closer.
When a capacitor pops on a 95° afternoon near Lake Como or the Curry Ford West restaurant strip, we don't cross town — we're already on the right road. The 90-minute guarantee applies here like everywhere else, but honestly, we've rarely needed a third of it. Nights, weekends, holidays: same flat $89.
What AC problems do Hourglass bungalows run into?
Small attics, tight duct runs, and starved return air. Many 1940s–60s bungalows here were retrofitted with central AC in whatever space could be found — and it shows in airflow.
The district's charm — compact bungalows, original hardwood, low rooflines — is the same thing that makes AC tricky. Low attics force short, kinked flex duct. Single central returns starve bedrooms. And when a past owner dropped in an oversized unit to compensate, the system short-cycles and leaves the house clammy. Our diagnostic measures actual airflow room by room, on video, so the fix targets the real bottleneck. See ductwork services and AC sizing answers.
What does AC repair cost in the Hourglass District?
Being close doesn't make it cheaper or pricier — same published rates everywhere: most repairs $150–$650, flat $89 diagnostic 24/7 applied to the repair.

Hourglass District AC questions, answered
How close is your shop to the Hourglass District, really?
We're at 10226 Curry Ford Rd — the same road that runs through the heart of the district. Minutes away in normal traffic, same flat $89 service call 24/7.
Can a 1950s Hourglass bungalow handle a modern high-efficiency AC system?
Yes, when sized and installed correctly. Small footprints and limited return paths mean it starts with a Manual J load calculation, not a rule of thumb. Oversizing is the most common mistake we correct here. See AC installation.
My window units can't keep up anymore. Can you add central AC to a bungalow?
In most cases, yes. We evaluate attic space, duct routing, and panel capacity, then quote the full scope upfront — permits included. If ducts genuinely won't fit, we'll say so honestly.
