H2: Terrell Hills: estate-era houses, systems with histories
Terrell Hills is a small independent city on the near north side, between Alamo Heights and Fort Sam Houston: estate-era homes from the 1920s onward on quiet, wooded streets, many renovated in waves ever since. Alamo Air Care works Terrell Hills on the inside-410 runs, and most calls there are seen the same day.
A Terrell Hills system usually has a biography: original house, first retrofit, a renovation that moved walls, a second renovation that moved them back. Equipment, ductwork, and controls can come from three different decades in one house, and the failure that brings us out is often an argument between eras: new equipment breathing through old ducts, a modern thermostat misreading an older system's habits, a zoned layout nobody fully documented. The work here is reading the biography before touching the equipment, because the part that stopped is rarely the whole story in a house with this many chapters.
Tell Gwen what you know of the house's renovation history. In Terrell Hills the permits and the remodels are diagnostic documents, and the crew will use every chapter you can give them.
Guidance for Terrell Hills: ask which era of the house the diagnosis belongs to. A repair that solves the 1990s system while ignoring the 2015 renovation's ductwork solves the wrong decade.
