How a call from here works

1. Say what the system is doing Not cooling, not heating, iced lines, water at the attic unit, a breaker that trips. Add the thermostat setting and what the house actually reads.
2. A contractor is matched by ZIP code The line routes the call to an independent heating and cooling contractor taking work in that ZIP code. Coverage shifts during the day; a match is not promised.
3. Visit, findings and figure come from that contractor The contractor books the visit, diagnoses the system and quotes any repair or replacement. This site sets no figures and sends nobody.

Uhland sits east of Kyle along SH 21 and straddles the Hays–Caldwell county line. It is mostly owner-occupied, about 92% (Census ACS 2020–2024), and a large share of its homes are manufactured homes, which changes the equipment a technician expects to find.

The housing mix

Uhland is small, with roughly 730 occupied homes in the Census estimate, and its numbers carry wide margins of error. The broad picture is still clear: a large share of homes, around four in ten, are mobile or manufactured homes, alongside site-built houses on larger lots and newer subdivisions. Roughly 45% of homes were built in 2010 or later. The 2020 Census counted about two-thirds of the population on the Hays side and a third in Caldwell County.

Heat here is mostly electric or propane

About three-quarters of Uhland households heat with electricity and about one in five with bottled gas, mostly propane. Natural gas is rare. That means heat pumps, electric heat strips and propane furnaces, and it is worth saying which one you have in the first minute of the call.

Manufactured homes need the right equipment

A manufactured home usually has its furnace or air handler in an interior closet, blowing down into ducts under the floor, and the equipment is built and listed for manufactured housing. A replacement has to match that, and the outdoor unit connects to it the same way it would on a site-built house. Ask the contractor whether it works on manufactured homes before the visit is booked.

What a call from Uhland usually involves

  • An AC or heat pump not cooling on a long summer afternoon. The nearest NOAA station with 1991–2020 normals, in San Marcos, averages about 117 days a year at 90°F or above.
  • Heat strips or a heat pump struggling on one of the roughly 20 nights a year at or below freezing.
  • A propane furnace that will not light at the start of the season. Check that the tank has fuel before calling.

What to tell the dispatcher

  • Site-built house or manufactured home
  • Heat pump, electric strips or propane furnace
  • The install year from the data plate
  • Your address and ZIP code, gate access and any dogs

Permits and licensing

Uhland is its own city, outside Kyle's permit system. Ask the contractor what permit applies at your address, and check its TDLR license number before work starts.
