Bastrop is one of Central Texas's most charming communities — with its historic downtown along Main Street, the Colorado River winding through town, and the beautiful Lost Pines forest that makes this corner of the county unlike anywhere else in the region. But charm doesn't keep you cool in July. When temperatures push past 100 degrees and your air conditioner stops cooperating, you need reliable AC repair from a company that can get to your home the same day.
Kimco Serves the Greater Bastrop County Area
Kimco Plumbing & Air is a Central Texas HVAC and plumbing company headquartered in Lexington, just up the road. We serve homeowners throughout the county — including Bastrop, Elgin, Smithville, McDade, and Paige — with licensed technicians, flat-rate pricing, and same-day availability when schedules allow. We're not dispatching from Austin or San Antonio. When you call us, our team is already in the area, which means faster response times and lower overhead that we pass along to you in the form of fair, competitive pricing.
AC Issues Common in This Area
Compressor strain from extreme heat. This part of Central Texas routinely sees 20 to 30 days above 100 degrees each summer. That kind of sustained heat pushes AC compressors to their limits, especially on older systems. We see compressor failures, overheating shutdowns, and refrigerant issues spike during July and August. If your outdoor unit hums but won't engage, or kicks on and immediately shuts off, the compressor or its supporting components may be failing.
Humidity and drainage problems. The Colorado River corridor and the Lost Pines area create higher humidity than many Central Texas communities. That means more condensation on the evaporator coil, more water flowing through the condensate drain line, and more opportunities for that drain to clog with algae and slime. Clogged drain lines and overflowing drain pans are among the most common service calls we handle here. Left unchecked, they can cause water damage and trigger the safety float switch that shuts your entire AC system off.
Aging systems in established neighborhoods. The downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods include many homes built in the 1960s through 1990s. These older homes often have AC systems that have been repaired and patched multiple times over the years. At some point, continued repair becomes more expensive than replacement. We always give you an honest assessment — if a repair makes sense, we'll recommend it. If the system is at end of life, we'll explain why replacement is the smarter investment and present your options.
Ductwork deterioration. In older homes, the ductwork running through attics and crawl spaces has often deteriorated over decades of extreme heat cycles. Flex duct connections pull loose, insulation compresses, and joints develop gaps. Leaky ducts can waste 20 to 30 percent of your conditioned air before it ever reaches your living spaces, meaning your system runs longer and harder without properly cooling the house. We offer duct inspection and sealing as part of our HVAC services.
What to Expect When You Call Kimco
Honest diagnosis. We start every service call with a thorough diagnostic. We test the system component by component, identify the root cause, and explain what we find in plain language — no jargon designed to confuse you into approving unnecessary work.
Flat-rate quote before any work begins. Once we know the problem, we give you a flat-rate price for the repair. You approve it before we start. If you decide not to proceed, you pay only the diagnostic fee. There are no add-on charges, no overtime surcharges, and no surprise parts fees that inflate the final number.
Quality parts and warranty. We use manufacturer-specified parts on every repair and back our work with a warranty. If something we repaired fails again within the warranty period, we come back and fix it at no additional charge. We stock the most common AC repair parts on our trucks so that most jobs can be completed on the first visit.
