H2: New Braunfels: a city of its own, growing like a suburb
New Braunfels is the Comal County seat, about 30 miles up I-35 from downtown San Antonio: a German-founded river town on the Guadalupe and the Comal that has become one of the fastest growing cities in America, old neighborhoods near the rivers ringed by wave after wave of new subdivisions. Alamo Air Care works New Braunfels on the northeast corridor days, and most calls there are seen the same day.
Two housing worlds share the ZIP codes. In the old town: historic homes near the plaza and the rivers, pier-and-beam stock, retrofit systems, and the shade of enormous cypress and pecan trees, with river humidity working on every coil. In the new growth: two-story plans in formation subdivisions, builder equipment installed by the street and now aging by the street, and heat loads on shadeless lots that test marginal systems every August. The river adds a local habit: summer weekends belong to the water, and houses sit closed and soaking up heat until Sunday evening, when the whole street's systems start at once and the weakest ones announce themselves.
Tell Gwen which New Braunfels you are in, river side or corridor side. The two share a name and almost nothing else, equipment included.
Guidance for New Braunfels: if the house sits empty on river weekends, ask about the drain. A system that runs a closed, humid house for three unattended days is a ceiling stain looking for its moment, and the float switch question is worth asking out loud.
