When your commercial AC goes down in Austin, every hour costs you. Employees slow down in the heat. Customers leave. Inventory spoils. Your reputation takes a hit you didn’t earn.
You need someone who answers the phone immediately—not an answering service that takes messages. You need a technician on-site within hours, not days. You need someone who carries the parts your system actually needs and completes the repair on the first visit.
That’s what separates emergency service from real emergency service. We stock commercial-grade components for the brands Austin businesses actually use. Our trucks are mobile repair shops. When your compressor fails at 2 PM on a Tuesday in July, we’re already on the way—and we’re bringing what it takes to get you back online before closing time.
We’ve spent over 20 years fixing commercial HVAC systems across Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. We’re veteran-owned, which means we show up on time, communicate clearly, and don’t leave until the job’s done right.
Austin’s climate is brutal on commercial equipment. The urban heat island effect downtown pushes rooftop temps higher than the forecast. Sudden storms cause power surges that fry control boards. Humidity spikes force your system to work overtime managing latent heat, not just temperature.
We’ve seen it all. Your 15-year-old rooftop unit that’s been limping through summers on R22 refrigerant. The brand-new system that’s short-cycling because the installer didn’t account for your building’s actual load. The clogged condensate line that flooded your server room. We fix what’s broken, explain why it happened, and tell you what to watch for next time.
You call. A real person answers—not a voicemail system, not an answering service. We ask what’s happening, when it started, and what you’ve already tried. If it’s an emergency, we dispatch immediately.
Our technician arrives with diagnostic tools and a truck stocked with commercial parts. We don’t guess. We test voltage, check refrigerant pressures, inspect electrical connections, and measure airflow. Then we tell you exactly what failed, why it failed, and what it’ll cost to fix—before we touch a wrench.
Most repairs happen same-day. If we need to order a part, we’ll tell you how long it’ll take and whether a temporary fix can keep you running. Once the repair’s done, we test the system under load, verify temps are where they should be, and make sure you’re comfortable with how everything’s working. You get a detailed invoice and a warranty on parts and labor.

Every commercial air conditioning repair in Austin starts with a full system diagnostic. We’re checking compressor function, refrigerant levels, electrical components, airflow, and control board operation. If one part failed, we want to know why—because that usually points to a secondary issue that’ll cause another breakdown if we don’t catch it.
You’re dealing with a system that runs 12-14 hours a day through Austin summers. That’s extreme duty. Capacitors wear out. Contactors pit. Condenser coils clog with cottonwood seeds and pollen. Drain lines back up in high humidity. These aren’t surprises—they’re predictable wear points we check during every call.
Austin’s power grid takes a beating during storm season. We see a spike in service calls after every major thunderstorm because voltage fluctuations damage sensitive electronics. If your system went down right after a storm, that’s the first thing we’re testing. And if your building’s still running an R22 system installed before 2010, we’ll have an honest conversation about repair costs versus replacement, because refrigerant prices aren’t coming down.
If you call during business hours with an emergency, we’re typically on-site within 1-2 hours. After hours and weekends take a bit longer, but we’re still talking same-day service in most cases—not next-day, not when we have an opening.
Speed matters because your building’s heating up fast. Austin’s summer temps don’t give you much grace period. An office hits 85 degrees within an hour of AC failure. A restaurant kitchen becomes unbearable in half that time. We know what’s at stake, so we move.
Our dispatch process is simple. You call, we confirm your location and the symptoms, and we send the closest available technician. No waiting for a callback. No “we’ll fit you in tomorrow.” If your business is down, we treat it like the emergency it is.
We service all major commercial HVAC brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, and others. If it’s cooling a commercial space in Austin, we’ve worked on it.
Brand doesn’t matter as much as system type. We handle rooftop units, split systems, package units, and chillers. We work on older R22 systems that need careful refrigerant management and newer R410A systems with advanced controls. Our trucks carry universal parts that fit multiple brands, plus we have strong relationships with local suppliers for brand-specific components.
If your system is under warranty, we can work within those requirements. If it’s older and out of warranty, we’re not locked into OEM parts when quality aftermarket options make more sense. We’ll explain the difference and let you decide.
Yes. Preventive maintenance is the difference between a system that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 20. It’s also the difference between paying for emergency repairs and paying for scheduled tune-ups.
Our commercial maintenance plans include seasonal inspections, filter changes, coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, electrical testing, and lubrication of moving parts. We schedule visits around your business hours to minimize disruption. You’re not shutting down mid-day for us to show up.
Regular maintenance catches problems early. A capacitor that’s starting to fail shows up in our tests months before it actually quits. A refrigerant leak that’s losing a pound a year gets fixed before it costs you 30% in cooling efficiency. And when Austin hits 105 degrees in August, your system isn’t fighting uphill because it’s been neglected all year.
Depends entirely on what’s broken. A failed capacitor runs $150-$300. A compressor replacement can hit $3,000-$6,000. A full refrigerant recharge on a large system might cost $1,500-$2,500, especially if you’re still running R22.
We give you a firm quote before starting work. You’ll know what the repair costs, what the part costs, and what the labor costs. If we find additional problems during the repair, we stop and discuss options before adding anything to the bill.
The real cost question is repair versus replacement. If your system is 15 years old and needs a $4,000 compressor, that might not make financial sense. We’ll walk through the math with you—remaining lifespan, efficiency gains from a new system, energy cost savings, and whether financing changes the equation. You make the call. We just make sure you have the information to make it.
Yes, but it’s expensive and getting worse. R22 production stopped in 2020. What’s left is recycled stock, and prices have gone through the roof. A full recharge that cost $800 five years ago can run $2,500+ now.
If your system has a small leak and just needs a top-off, we can handle that. But if you’re looking at a major leak or a compressor failure that requires a full refrigerant recovery and recharge, we’re having a different conversation. At some point, pouring money into an R22 system doesn’t make sense.
There are retrofit options. Some systems can be converted to R422B or another drop-in replacement, though it’s not always straightforward and doesn’t work for every setup. We’ll test your system, tell you what’s realistic, and give you a cost comparison: repair and recharge versus retrofit versus replacement. Then you decide what makes sense for your business.
You call the same number. We answer. If it’s a true emergency—your building’s becoming unsafe, you’re losing inventory, or you’ve got customers walking out—we dispatch a technician immediately.
After-hours and weekend calls cost more because we’re pulling someone off their time. But if your restaurant’s dining room is 90 degrees on a Saturday night, that’s not something you can wait until Monday to fix. Same goes for medical offices, retail stores during peak season, or any business where downtime equals lost revenue.
We’re not going to tell you to wait unless waiting makes sense. If your system’s down but your building’s closed until Monday and the forecast is mild, we might suggest scheduling a morning appointment to save you the emergency fee. But if you need us now, we’re coming now. That’s what 24/7 means.
