When a Wedgwood or South Hills Home Needs a New AC or Panel

A 1960s Neighborhood Beside a 1950s One

Wedgwood and South Hills sit side by side on the city’s neighborhood map, and they were built about a decade apart. Census estimates for the tract holding Wedgwood East put the median build year at 1966, and the 1960s alone produced 874 of its roughly 2,500 homes. Just north, in the South Hills tract around Bilglade Road, the median is 1956 and the 1950s account for 1,186 of 1,905 homes. Sixty years is a long run for any house’s cooling, heating and wiring, and we repair and replace all three. Call us at 817-290-3373.

The Jobs We Do in These Homes

  1. Cooling that quits in summer. We start with same-day AC repair on most calls and a flat price before any work. If the system is beyond a sensible fix, we quote a replacement air conditioner matched to the house next to the repair price, so you choose with both numbers in hand.
  2. Heat for a cold snap. Gas and electric heat are both common here, and our technicians handle furnace repair for gas furnaces and electric heat alike, with a safety check on every heating repair.
  3. Older electrical panels. We inspect the existing panel and recommend an electrical panel upgrade only when the house needs one, with an upfront quote.
  4. Drains that keep backing up. We camera the line to find the cause, then clear it. Slow sinks and main line clogs are both drain cleaning jobs our plumbers handle.

Gas in One Tract, Electric in the Next, New Mains Below

Heating fuel changes as you move south. In the Wedgwood East tract, 56% of homes heat with utility gas. One tract over, along Wedgworth Road South, electricity heats 66%. Farther south, in the tract shared by Wedgwood South and Candleridge, the houses are mostly from the 1970s and 88% heat with electricity. So a Wedgwood heating call can mean a gas furnace on one street and an electric system a few blocks away.

The City of Fort Worth is also working under these streets. Its Wedgwood and Candleridge project replaces water and sewer mains in the area bounded by Wrigley Way and Wheelock Drive to the north, Altamesa Boulevard to the south, South Hulen Street to the east and Trail Lake Drive to the west. The city says the existing water mains there are cast iron, asbestos cement, PVC and ductile iron, and it lists Whistler Drive, Winesanker Way, Winifred Drive and Whitman Avenue among the streets. Completion is listed for July 2027. A second city project replaces sanitary sewer and water mains on Wedgworth Road South and Minot Road, from Woodway Drive to Vega Drive.

That work is on the public mains. A drain that backs up inside the house is a separate problem in a separate pipe, and it will not clear itself when the street is finished.

South Hills, Candleridge and Westcliff

The city’s project names three associations it affects: Candleridge, Wedgwood Square and Wedgwood South. Wedgwood East sits next to them, and South Hills and South Hills South border Wedgwood to the north and east. We cover all of them, across the 76133 ZIP code.

A couple of miles north, past South Hills, the 1940s houses of Westcliff, where half the homes near TCU are rented, are another part of our southwest Fort Worth work.
