Your thermostat reads what your living room feels like. Every room in your house stays the same temperature. Your electric bill stops climbing 20% every summer for no reason.
When your HVAC system runs the way it should, you’re not adjusting the thermostat every hour. You’re not closing vents in certain rooms or piling blankets on the couch in January. You’re comfortable, and you’re not thinking about your air conditioning or heating at all.
That’s what proper heating and cooling services in Austin, TX should deliver. Not just a unit that turns on, but a system that keeps your home consistently comfortable without burning through energy or breaking down every season. Most systems in Austin run over 3,000 hours a year. If yours is older than 10 years or struggling to keep up during summer, you’re already paying more than you should.
We’re a veteran-owned HVAC company serving Austin, TX with over 20 years of experience in residential and commercial heating and cooling. We’re based in San Antonio and operate across Central Texas, including Houston and Austin.
We’re fully licensed and insured, and our technicians are trained to handle everything from emergency AC repairs to full system installations. Austin’s climate is brutal on HVAC systems—temperatures over 100 degrees for months, high humidity, and cooling seasons that stretch from April to October. We’ve seen what fails, what lasts, and what actually saves you money long-term.
We don’t upsell. We don’t push replacements when a repair will do. We show up, diagnose the problem, give you a written estimate, and let you decide.
You call or submit a request online. We schedule a time that works for you—same day in most cases, or 24/7 if it’s an emergency. Our technician shows up on time, introduces themselves, and asks what’s going on.
They run a full diagnostic on your system. That includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, testing airflow, and looking at your ductwork if needed. If something’s wrong, they’ll explain what it is, why it’s happening, and what it’ll take to fix it.
You get a written estimate before any work starts. No surprises, no hidden fees. If you approve, we handle the repair or installation right there in most cases. If it’s a bigger job, we’ll schedule a follow-up and order parts. Once the work’s done, we test everything, walk you through what we did, and make sure your system is running the way it should.
Ready to get started?
We handle installation, repair, and maintenance for all types of heating and cooling systems—central air, heat pumps, furnaces, and ductless mini-splits. If your AC isn’t cooling, your furnace won’t start, or your system is making noise it shouldn’t, we’ll figure out why and fix it.
We also handle indoor air quality. That includes air duct cleaning, sealing, and sanitizing, plus installation of UV lights, air scrubbers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers. Austin’s pollen count and humidity levels make indoor air quality a real issue, especially if anyone in your house deals with allergies or asthma.
Our maintenance plans keep your system running efficiently and catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Regular maintenance in Austin’s climate isn’t optional—it’s the difference between a system that lasts 15 years and one that dies at 10. We’ll inspect your system, clean components, check refrigerant, and make sure everything’s calibrated correctly. Most of our maintenance customers avoid the emergency breakdowns that happen in July when everyone else’s AC is failing at once.
If your system is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new unit, repair usually makes sense. If it’s over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or uses R-22 refrigerant that’s been phased out, replacement is often the better move.
Here’s the math that matters: if your AC is 12 years old and the compressor fails, you’re looking at a $1,500–$2,500 repair on a system that might only last another three years. A new system costs more upfront but comes with a warranty, better efficiency, and 10–15 years of reliable cooling. Your energy bills will likely drop 20–30% with a modern unit, which adds up fast in Austin’s climate.
We’ll never push you toward a replacement if a repair makes sense. We’ll give you the cost of both options, explain what each one gets you, and let you decide. If your system is on the edge, we’ll tell you that too.
Low refrigerant is the most common cause. If your system is low on refrigerant, it’s usually because of a leak, not normal usage. Refrigerant doesn’t get “used up”—it circulates in a closed loop. A leak means the system can’t absorb and release heat properly, so it runs constantly without actually cooling your home.
Dirty coils, clogged filters, or a failing compressor can also cause this. If your outdoor unit is covered in dirt or your filter hasn’t been changed in months, airflow gets restricted and your system can’t do its job. A failing compressor won’t circulate refrigerant at all, which means no cooling even though the system appears to be running.
Thermostat issues are another possibility. If your thermostat is reading the wrong temperature or isn’t communicating with your system correctly, it might not be calling for cooling when it should. We’ll test all of these during a diagnostic and tell you exactly what’s causing the problem.
Twice a year—once before cooling season in the spring and once before heating season in the fall. Austin’s extended cooling season puts serious strain on AC systems, and regular maintenance is the only way to keep them running efficiently.
During a maintenance visit, we’ll clean your coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, test your thermostat, and replace your filter. We’ll also catch small issues like a worn belt or a loose connection before they turn into a breakdown in the middle of summer. Most emergency repairs we see could have been prevented with regular maintenance.
If you skip maintenance, your system works harder, uses more energy, and wears out faster. A well-maintained AC system in Austin lasts 12–15 years. One that’s neglected might only make it to 8–10 years. The cost of two maintenance visits per year is a fraction of what you’d pay for a premature replacement or an emergency repair when it’s 105 degrees outside.
It depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, number of windows, and how much sun exposure you get. A system that’s too small won’t keep up on hot days. One that’s too large will cycle on and off constantly, which wastes energy and wears out components faster.
Most homes in Austin need between 1.5 and 5 tons of cooling capacity. A 1,500-square-foot home with decent insulation typically needs a 2.5- to 3-ton unit. A 2,500-square-foot home might need 4 tons. But those are rough estimates—older homes with poor insulation or lots of windows need more capacity, while newer homes with good insulation and energy-efficient windows need less.
We’ll do a load calculation before recommending a system size. That’s a detailed assessment of your home’s cooling needs based on real measurements, not guesses. Installing the right size system is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and it’s worth getting it right the first time.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service for situations where your system fails and you need it fixed immediately. That includes AC breakdowns during heat waves, furnace failures in winter, and any situation where your home becomes unsafe or unlivable without heating or cooling.
Emergency service costs more than scheduled service because we’re pulling a technician off-hours or away from other jobs, but we don’t price-gouge. You’ll get the same honest diagnostic and transparent pricing you’d get during business hours. If it’s something that can wait until morning without putting your family at risk, we’ll tell you that too.
Most emergency calls we get in Austin happen in July and August when AC systems are running nonstop and older units finally give out. If your system is over 10 years old and hasn’t been maintained recently, it’s worth scheduling a tune-up before summer hits. That’s a lot cheaper than an emergency call at 9 PM on a Saturday.
Start with a new filter and a maintenance visit. A clogged filter makes your system work harder and use more energy. Dirty coils, low refrigerant, and worn components all reduce efficiency, and a maintenance visit will address those issues. Most homeowners see a noticeable drop in energy usage after a tune-up.
A programmable or smart thermostat helps too. If you’re cooling your home to 68 degrees while you’re at work, you’re wasting money. A smart thermostat lets you set a schedule so your system isn’t running full blast when no one’s home, and it adjusts automatically based on your habits.
Sealing your ductwork makes a big difference if you have leaks. Up to 30% of cooled air can escape through gaps and cracks in ducts, which means your system is cooling your attic or crawl space instead of your living room. We’ll inspect your ducts and seal any leaks we find. Better insulation, weather stripping around doors and windows, and closing blinds during the hottest part of the day all help too, but your HVAC system and ductwork are where you’ll see the biggest impact.
