When your commercial HVAC system goes down in Austin, every hour costs you money. Uncomfortable employees work slower. Customers leave. Inventory sits in rooms that are too hot or too cold. You’re not just dealing with a broken unit—you’re watching revenue walk out the door.
You need a licensed commercial HVAC contractor in Austin who shows up fast, diagnoses the problem correctly the first time, and fixes it without disappearing for parts or pushing unnecessary replacements. That’s what over 20 years in this business teaches you: how to move quickly, communicate clearly, and get systems running again.
Our technicians carry fully stocked trucks. Most commercial HVAC repairs in Austin get completed on the first visit. You’re not waiting days for a part to arrive or dealing with multiple service calls for the same issue. We handle rooftop units, split systems, chillers, packaged units, and heat pumps across all major brands. If it keeps your building comfortable, we fix it.
Texas Air Repair is a veteran-owned company that’s been handling commercial HVAC repair in Austin, TX for over 20 years. We’re based in San Antonio and serve the entire Austin area with the same approach: show up when we say we will, tell you what’s actually wrong, and fix it right.
Austin’s climate is brutal on commercial systems. Temperatures swing from freezing to over 100 degrees, sometimes within the same week. Your HVAC system runs harder and longer than systems in most other cities. That wear adds up, and when something fails, it usually happens during your busiest hours.
We’ve seen it all—emergency breakdowns during summer rushes, aging systems running on outdated refrigerant, and equipment that’s been limping along for years without proper maintenance. Our team of certified, licensed, and insured technicians knows how to handle the pressure that comes with commercial work. We’re available 24/7 because HVAC emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
You call with an issue. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening—strange noises, no cooling, inconsistent temperatures, whatever you’re dealing with. If it’s an emergency, we prioritize getting someone to your location as quickly as possible, often within hours.
When our technician arrives, they run a full diagnostic on your system. That means checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, inspecting airflow, and identifying what’s actually causing the problem. You get a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it. No jargon. No upselling. Just honest information so you can make the right call for your business.
Once you approve the work, we get started. Most commercial HVAC repairs in Austin get finished the same day because our trucks carry the parts and tools needed for common issues. If we need to order something specific, we tell you upfront how long it’ll take and what your options are in the meantime. After the repair, we test the system to make sure it’s running properly before we leave. You get back to business. We move on to the next call.

Commercial HVAC repair in Austin covers more than just fixing what’s broken. Our technicians handle system diagnostics, component replacement, refrigerant management, electrical repairs, and performance optimization. Whether it’s a faulty compressor, a refrigerant leak, or a thermostat that’s not communicating with your system, we address the root cause.
Austin businesses deal with unique challenges. If your building is still running an older system with R22 refrigerant, you’re facing limited supply and high costs every time you need a recharge. We help you understand your options—whether that’s repairing what you have or planning for a replacement before you’re forced into an emergency decision.
We also offer preventive maintenance programs designed to catch problems before they shut you down. Regular inspections, filter changes, and system tune-ups reduce emergency repairs by 40 to 60 percent and improve energy efficiency by 15 to 25 percent. That’s not marketing talk—it’s what happens when you stay ahead of wear and tear instead of reacting to failures. For Austin businesses where HVAC systems account for nearly 40 percent of total energy use, that efficiency translates directly to lower operating costs.
Emergency service is available around the clock. Your system can fail at midnight on a Saturday, and we’ll have someone there to get it running again. That’s the reality of commercial work in a city where temperatures regularly hit triple digits for months at a time.
For urgent calls, we typically have a technician on-site within one to two hours. That timeline depends on your location in Austin and our current call volume, but emergency response is prioritized over scheduled maintenance work.
We keep technicians available 24/7 specifically because commercial HVAC failures don’t wait for convenient times. A system that goes down during a weekend rush or overnight can cost you thousands in lost revenue and productivity. Our goal is to minimize that downtime as much as possible.
When you call, we’ll give you an honest estimate of when someone can arrive. If there’s a delay, we’ll tell you upfront instead of leaving you waiting without information.
We service all major types of commercial systems: rooftop units, split systems, packaged units, chillers, boilers, and heat pumps. Our technicians are trained on equipment from all major manufacturers, so whether you’re running Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, or another brand, we can handle the repair.
Commercial systems operate differently than residential units. They run longer hours, handle variable loads throughout the day, and face higher stakes when something goes wrong. Our team understands those demands and knows how to work efficiently under pressure.
If you’re not sure what type of system you have or what’s wrong with it, that’s fine. We’ll figure it out when we get there and explain everything in plain terms.
Yes. Preventive maintenance is one of the best investments you can make for a commercial system. Regular inspections and tune-ups catch small issues before they turn into expensive emergency repairs. Businesses with maintenance contracts typically see 40 to 60 percent fewer breakdowns and 15 to 25 percent better energy efficiency.
A standard maintenance visit includes filter changes, refrigerant level checks, electrical component testing, airflow inspection, and a full system diagnostic. We document everything and let you know if we spot anything that needs attention soon.
Austin’s extreme temperatures put extra strain on HVAC equipment. Systems that run hard for months at a time wear out faster, which makes preventive care even more important. You’re either paying for maintenance or paying for emergency repairs—and emergency repairs always cost more.
Repair costs depend on what’s wrong with your system. A simple fix like replacing a capacitor or thermostat might run a few hundred dollars. A major component replacement like a compressor or condenser coil can cost several thousand.
We don’t give quotes over the phone because diagnosing a commercial system requires seeing it in person. Once our technician identifies the problem, you’ll get a clear breakdown of what the repair costs and why. No surprises. No hidden fees.
If your system is older and needs frequent repairs, we’ll also discuss whether continuing to fix it makes financial sense or if you’re better off planning for a replacement. That’s a decision you make based on real numbers, not pressure from us.
Yes, but there are limitations. R22 refrigerant was phased out in 2020 due to environmental regulations. The only supply available now comes from recycled stocks, which makes it expensive and increasingly hard to find.
If your system has a refrigerant leak, recharging it with R22 can cost significantly more than it used to. In some cases, it makes more sense to retrofit the system to use a different refrigerant or start planning for a replacement.
We’ll assess your system and give you an honest recommendation. If it’s worth repairing, we’ll do it. If you’re throwing money at a system that’s going to keep failing, we’ll tell you that too. The goal is to help you make the right decision for your business, not just sell you a service.
We serve the entire Austin metro area and surrounding communities. If you’re within a reasonable distance of Austin, TX, we can get to you. That includes businesses in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, and other nearby areas.
Our service area also extends to San Antonio and Houston, so if you have multiple locations across Texas, we can handle HVAC service for all of them. That consistency matters when you’re managing commercial properties in different cities.
When you call, just let us know where you’re located. We’ll confirm that we can reach you and give you an estimated arrival time based on your address.
