James and Dottie Fortner have called Corpus Christi home since 1960 and have been partners in life and business for over 48 years.
James began his career in HVAC in 1983 after the downturn of the oilfield industry
led him to pursue a more stable trade. While working full time during the day, he
attended night classes at Del Mar College to build his expertise. The early years
were filled with long hours and sacrifice.
In 1996, they founded Annaville Air Conditioning, working tirelessly to build the company from the ground up. James ran service calls and installed systems while Dottie managed the phones, office work and their two young children. Their days often began at 7:00 am and ended well into the evening. With dedication their hard work paid off and Annaville AC grew steadily, and is now known for having some of the most qualified technicians in the area. Their team focuses on solving problems, not just selling new systems. If it can be fixed, Annaville AC will fix it!
In 2024 the Fortner’s launched a new venture: AC Corpus Christi. This new branch
focuses on indoor air quality using Trane premium brand systems- “its hard to stop a
Trane”. AC Corpus Christi brings unmatched experience, expert service and
competitive pricing to nearly all of the Coastal Bend.
Today, both Annaville AC and AC Corpus Christi remain family-run. Dottie and
James’ adult children are the next generation who are actively involved and
preparing to lead the business into the future.
“We don’t just run a business-we serve our neighbors. and we would be honored to
welcome you into the Annaville AC / AC Corpus Christi family”
-James Fortner, President
Annaville AC/ AC Corpus Christi
