How a call from here works
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.
