Call us about a system that is not working right and you get a straight answer on the first call. We ask a few questions about what the equipment is doing, give you a rate before anything is scheduled, and get a qualified HVAC technician out to the property. Same-day appointments are often available, and emergency calls are answered every day from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
Pickett Heating & Air handles heating and cooling repair, installation, and maintenance across Pearland and the surrounding Brazoria County area. Whether you own a home, manage a rental portfolio, or oversee a commercial building, the scope of what we cover is the same: AC repair, heat pump service, system replacement, ductwork, thermostats and smart controls, indoor air quality, and seasonal maintenance. The service page carries the full breakdown. Call (346) 686-2935 to get started.
A city the size of Pearland generates a wide range of HVAC calls. Some are urgent. Some have been building for a season. Some come from a property manager handling six units at once. The situation behind the call shapes everything about how we approach it.
Most calls start with a system that is doing something wrong: not cooling, not turning on, making a noise it did not used to make, or running constantly without hitting the set temperature. A repair visit starts with a proper diagnosis before anything is touched. We check refrigerant levels, airflow, coil condition, electrical controls, and thermostat function. The repair follows once we know what is actually causing the problem. We'll diagnose it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
A system that is working fine right now can still benefit from a scheduled inspection. In a Gulf Coast climate where the cooling load runs long and hard, a worn capacitor or a low refrigerant charge shows up as a bigger problem if it is left until the system stops. A seasonal tune-up covers a full operational check, coil cleaning, refrigerant verification, and airflow testing. The system gets tested and readings checked before sign-off. Spring is the best window before the heavy cooling season, and fall is the right time to confirm the heating side is ready.
Some systems have reached the point where another repair is not the right answer. Frequent breakdowns, a unit that can no longer hold the set temperature, and equipment that has run well past its useful life are all signs that replacement is worth considering. We walk through the options honestly and explain what a full replacement involves before anything is scheduled. The service page covers the details on system sizing, equipment selection, and what to expect on installation day.
Uneven temperatures across a Pearland property come up regularly, and the cause is almost never the thermostat setting. A room that stays warm while the rest of the house is cool, or one that never seems to get air, usually points to something further back in the system.
Duct leaks are one of the most common culprits. When conditioned air escapes into an attic or a wall cavity before it reaches the room, the equipment runs longer to compensate and the room stays uncomfortable regardless. We inspect the duct system for gaps and disconnects, seal what can be sealed, and replace sections where the damage is too far gone to patch.
Airflow restrictions, an improperly sized system, or a zoning setup that was never configured correctly can all produce the same symptom. Mini-split and ductless systems solve the problem in spaces where running new ductwork is not practical, such as additions, converted garages, or rooms that were never part of the original duct layout. Call us and we'll walk you through your options.
Same-day service is often available for most calls. When a system goes completely down, we treat it as an emergency and get someone out as quickly as we can within our daily hours of 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM. You get the rate on the phone before anything is confirmed, and the appointment is set around what works for you.
For rental properties and commercial buildings where a tenant or a business has to stay operational, we work around the space. A property manager who cannot be on site can designate a tenant contact, and we confirm the access arrangement when the appointment is booked. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every job runs, whether it is a single-family home or a multi-unit building.
Don't let a small problem turn into a no-heat night or a no-cool afternoon. HVAC work here gets handled by people who answer to this community. If the system is struggling, the call is worth making today.
Most technicians will tell you the same things, and it is worth going through them before you call.
None of this replaces a diagnostic visit for a system that is genuinely failing. But it rules out the simple things first, and it gives us useful information when you call.
For homeowners and property managers who want it done right, understanding what each type of call actually involves makes it easier to describe the problem when you reach us.
Low airflow at a vent is rarely just a vent problem. The cause is usually upstream: a clogged filter, a restricted or disconnected duct section, a failing blower motor, or a frozen evaporator coil. We trace the restriction back to its source and address it there rather than at the register.
An AC that runs continuously without dropping the temperature is working against something. Common causes include a refrigerant leak that has left the system undercharged, a dirty or frozen coil that cannot transfer heat efficiently, or condenser and compressor performance that has degraded to the point where the system can no longer keep up. A refrigerant leak diagnosis is part of every cooling call where the charge is low, because refilling without finding the leak just delays the next call.
Banging, grinding, rattling, and high-pitched squealing all mean something different, and none of them are sounds a system in good condition makes. A noise that is new or getting louder is worth a call before the component it is coming from fails completely.
Water near the air handler usually means the condensate drain is blocked. In a humid Gulf Coast climate, condensate lines handle a significant volume of moisture, and a clog causes the pan to overflow. We clear the drain, inspect the pan for damage, and confirm the system is draining correctly before we leave.
In a region where humidity is a year-round condition, what circulates through the HVAC system matters. We install whole-home air filtration systems, UV air purifiers, and whole-home dehumidifiers that integrate with the existing equipment. A dehumidifier that runs inline with the HVAC system manages moisture independently of the cooling cycle, which keeps indoor humidity in a comfortable range even when the AC is not running at full output.
A new central air installation covers load calculations to size the system correctly, equipment selection, and a full performance test before sign-off. For spaces where central ductwork is not in place, a ductless mini-split system handles the same job with individual air handlers in each zone. Zoning and comfort-control systems let different areas of a larger property run at different settings, which is practical for commercial buildings and larger homes where one thermostat cannot serve the whole space.
The price on a repair call depends on what the fault turns out to be, what has to be accessed to reach it, and what parts are involved. A straightforward repair that resolves in a single visit costs less than one where the problem is in a difficult location or requires a component that takes time to source. We give you the rate on the phone before anything is scheduled, so you know what the visit covers before the technician arrives.
For a replacement, the quote reflects the size of the system the space actually needs, the condition of the existing ductwork, and whether any additional work is required to bring the installation up to current standards. Some replacements are straightforward swaps. Others involve duct repairs or thermostat upgrades that are part of getting the new system to perform correctly. We explain what is included and what would change the total before anything is confirmed.
To get a quote, call (346) 686-2935. We ask a few questions about the system and the property, give you a rate that covers what the visit involves, and get you on the schedule.
Pearland is our primary coverage area in this part of Brazoria County, and we also serve the communities around it. That includes Brookside Village, Manvel, Fresno, South Houston, and Friendswood. If you are in this part of the greater Houston area and need heating and cooling service, we cover it.
Property managers and commercial clients with properties across multiple communities can call to discuss scheduling across locations. The same process applies everywhere: rate confirmed on the phone, qualified technician on the job, system tested before sign-off.
the air conditioning page explains how the work is handled.
The technician explains what was found and what was done at the close of every visit. If you need a record for the property file, let us know when you call and we will make sure that information is communicated clearly. Keeping a record of service history is useful for tracking recurring issues and planning future maintenance.
Not always. If the existing ductwork is in good condition and sized correctly for the new system, it can remain in place. If the ducts are leaking, undersized, or damaged, addressing them at the same time as the equipment replacement makes sense because the performance of the new system depends partly on the condition of the duct system. The technician assesses the ductwork as part of the replacement process and explains what, if anything, needs to be done.
Sizing starts with a load calculation that accounts for the square footage of the space, the insulation, the window area, and the layout of the ductwork. A system that is too large short-cycles and leaves the space humid. A system that is too small runs constantly without reaching the set point. Getting the size right is the first step of any replacement job.
Yes. Air quality equipment that installs inline with the HVAC system has its own maintenance requirements, including filter changes and periodic performance checks. We cover that service alongside the rest of the HVAC system rather than treating it as a separate category.
Yes, every time. The system is run through its full operating cycle, readings are checked, and airflow is confirmed before we close out the visit. That step is not optional. It is how we verify that the repair or installation actually did what it was supposed to do.
We are available every day from 7:30 AM to 11:00 PM. If your schedule or the property's situation requires a visit outside typical business hours, call us and we will work out what is available.
We work with property managers who need reliable scheduling across several properties or units at once. When you call, let us know how many systems are involved and what each one is doing, and we coordinate the visits to minimize disruption to tenants. The rate is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and we communicate with whatever contact you designate on site if you cannot be present.
Clear access to the indoor air handler, the outdoor unit, and any attic or utility space the technician needs to reach makes the job go faster. Keeping pets and children away from the work area during the installation is also helpful. When you call for a quote, we walk through what the job involves and what the visit will cover.
A heat pump operating in a high-humidity climate handles more moisture than one in a drier region, which puts additional load on the coil and the condensate system over time. Seasonal maintenance that includes a coil inspection and a check of the condensate drain helps catch buildup before it affects performance. If the system is struggling to maintain comfort even when temperatures are moderate, humidity load is one of the first things we check.
Yes, and it is often the most practical option when extending the existing duct system into the new space is not feasible. A mini-split places an air handler directly in the space and connects it to an outdoor unit without requiring new ductwork. We size the unit to the room, handle the installation, and test the system before we leave. Call us and we'll walk you through your options for the specific space.
