The Austin78705 calls we answer most often
If your system is doing any of the following, it is worth a diagnostic before the fault gets more expensive.
Furnace lights then shuts down after a few seconds
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning
Squealing or grinding from the blower assembly
Heating and air conditioning service built around Austin
If your high-capacity split air conditioning with gas or electric heat has started short cycling, blowing warm air or making a noise it never used to make, you are not alone — Austin generates some of the highest call volume we handle in Texas. Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm.
Around Austin, condensate drainage is a recurring fault. Blocked drains and failed float switches cause more water damage claims here than actual refrigerant failures do.
Heating season here is December through February. A pre-season inspection catches cracked heat exchangers and failing igniters before the first real cold snap.

Austin78705 HVAC questions, answered
What brands do you service in Austin?
All of them. Our 78705 technicians are trained on Heil, Bryant, Trane, Mitsubishi Electric and essentially every other residential brand sold in Texas, including discontinued lines. We keep a broad parts catalogue on the trucks for exactly that reason.
Why is my system short cycling?
Short cycling in Austin most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Austin see most often — but a firm price needs eyes on the equipment. Any company that quotes a final number without seeing the unit is usually quoting low to get through the door.
How often should I change my filter in 78705?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Austin with pets, ongoing construction nearby, or a high-MERV filter in an undersized return should move to monthly changes. A loaded filter is the single most common cause of frozen coils and failed blower motors.
Do you charge extra for nights, weekends or holidays?
No. Our pricing in Texas is the same at 2am on a holiday as it is at 2pm on a Tuesday. Emergency calls are dispatched the same way as scheduled calls and carry no overtime premium.
How quickly can a technician get to Austin?
For the 78705 service area our target response time is 60-90 minutes from the moment dispatch confirms your address. Real-world timing depends on the day — the first sustained heat or cold snap of the season is always our busiest period — but we hold technicians locally specifically so that window is achievable rather than aspirational.
