Check out his latest new residential system installation.
Take a moment to marvel at the quality of the work.



Here is a photograph of an air handler that was installed by Brubaker Air Conditioning & Refrigerant in Corpus Christi.
Notice the drip pan filled with water.
Brubaker damaged the primary pan during installation so the condensate water could not be drained into the home plumbing system since the primary pan was damaged.

This allowed the secondary pan (as the photo shows) to fill up. The Secondary drain for this pan was not installed and allowed the pan to overflow. The red wires that you see are a float switch, this switch was the final safety device that was supposed to turn the unit off in the event the primary and secondary drains failed. This Switch was incorrectly wired and failed to turn the system off.

As a result, there was substantial damage to the sheet rock of the ceiling below and thermal insulation in the immediate area.

The faulty wiring posed an electrical fire hazzard to my wife, children and home.



It won't take much to knock those unsecured wire nuts off and have the live wires short out on to the air handler chassis with all of the vibration an Air Handler creates, some of the wires were left bare and un-insulated.

It would have been nothing to trim the wires to length and secure them.
Notice the stains from all the leaking this thing did.



As we can see here, he never bothered to reinstall the pan drain that prevents the pan from overflowing.



Here we can see unsecured and exposed wiring that leaves a potential for a shock or a fire hazard. There is not electrical grommet to protect the wires as the pass through the sheet metal of the Air Handler cabinet. After so much vibration from use, the insulation on the electrical wire would eventually wear off and short against the metal cabinet.



This duct work was blowing more cooled air from the air handler into the attic instead of into the home.

This is like driving your car on a hot August day in South Texas with the Air Conditioner on and all the windows rolled down.
Take notice of the spare parts left in the drip pan.

Its amazing how these guys are still allowed to stay in business.



Here we see a total lack of professionalism and caring. This is the supply on the air handler in the attic. There are large holes that allow the cool air coming from the unit escape into the attic and never make in into the living area of the home.

Notice the “spare parts” left in the pan. he never bothered to remove the screws he dropped and never installed.
It looks like an orangutan did the work.



He is Richard Brubaker AND the absolute worst AC Tech working around the Corpus Christi area. . BUYER BEWARE!!!





Since you took the time to make it this far,..... here is the full story.



This guy is a real dirtbag with no interest in doing quality repair. It appears he just wants to take the money and run.




We called Richard sometime in the first week of October in 2018 to repair our leaking air conditioner unit. Richard arrived at our home and Recharged our unit. While he was here he explained the benefits of replacing the system and we agreed because we are trusting people.


On 10.13.2018 Richard installed a new air conditioner and outside unit. From the time the unit was installed the weather wasn't terribly hot and the unit wasn't used much. Sometime around the end of February and the beginning of March, we noticed a stain on our ceiling. I entered the attic to find the drip pan was overflowing and leaked throughout the attic destroying the insulation and sheet rock of the room below. He never re installed the secondary drain line! Richard had ordered a primary pan that was damaged and leaking because of an improper installation and replaced the secondary pan. The secondary pan was damaged and was not replaced during the initial installation nor did Richard check to make sure the secondary drain line was clear and flowing which resulted in further damage to our home. As the summer continued and the weather increasingly became warmer, we noticed the air conditioner was continuously operating 21 to 22 hours a day. We called Richard and explained what was going on with the unit. He arrived on 08.19.19 and looked at our unit and determined that the system pressures were fine and stated that the unit was operating normally. He suggested that we replace our Nest thermostat as this may be running both the AC and heater at the same time and restarting the WIFI to allow the thermostat to do a software update. I’m not sure why he didn’t or couldn’t verify that when he while he was here but we took him for his word and replaced the thermostat and restarted the WIFI router. Replacing the thermostat did not solve our issue.


On 08.21.19 we called AAA Heating and AC out to look at our system and get a second opinion. It was noted by AAA that the installation that there are several items improperly installed or installed wrong. To list a few:

1) The TXV bulb was improperly mounted

2) The P trap for the drain was of the wrong type

3) There is a 11-13 degree temperature split indicating improper operation

4) The freon lines were not insulated

5) both the supply and return ductwork going to the new air handler was are leaking air due to improper installation. It is taking hot air from the attic and blowing it throw the air handler and blowing the “cooled” air back into the attic.


AAA suggested to have the TXV replaced and properly mounted, insulate the refrigerant lines, Fix the air leaks from the improper installation, evacuate and replace the refrigerant as it may be contaminated and replace the receiver/dryer. Put the system under a vacuum to remove moisture and various other repairs that should have been done during the initial installation of the new air conditioner unit.


After having the system diagnosed by another contractor, I forwarded the report to Richard and asked that he make the repairs and correct the installation issues under his one-year labor warranty. He agreed and arrived on 08.24.19. Richard said completed everything on the list we provided him but he did not. Whatever he did made no difference in the operation of the AC unit and its probably because of all the spare parts he left on the counter. I tried contacting Richard several times about these remaining matters but he no longer wishes answer my call or text messages.





He does well for himself by taking the money and running.
The picture doesn't show but he even got himself a new truck!
Screwing people really does pay. Enjoy your site! You C0ck sucking Prick.
