H2: Universal City: the town Randolph built
Universal City wraps around Randolph AFB on San Antonio's northeast side, along Pat Booker Road: a town that exists because the base exists, built out largely in the 1960s through 1980s to house the people the runways brought. Alamo Air Care works Universal City on the northeast runs, and most calls there are seen the same day.
The stock is mature ranch housing on quiet streets, much of it rental, much of it on its second or third system. The pattern here is deep familiarity: a handful of plans, repeated across decades of streets, each with its known drain path, its known hot room, its known condenser corner. PCS season turns the whole town over at once each summer, and the failures arrive with the move-ins: systems first run hard in July after sitting through a vacant spring, filters carrying a previous family's year, drains that clogged while nobody was home to notice the ceiling stain.
Tell Gwen whether the house is yours, your tenant's, or your landlord's. In Universal City that answer routes the conversation, and all three versions of it are conversations this crew has had thousands of times.
Guidance for Universal City: if you are the landlord, put the system's vintage on your turnover checklist. The cheapest week to learn a system's age is the week between tenants, not the first hot night of the new lease.
