The Austin78714 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.
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Loud banging on start-up (compressor slugging)
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Refrigerant leak at a flare or coil connection
Heating and air conditioning service built around Austin
Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm. Across the 78714 area that translates into a steady stream of failed capacitors, clogged filters, dying blower motors and refrigerant leaks — most of which we can diagnose and repair in one visit.
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.
We recommend two maintenance visits a year in Texas: one before March through November and one before December through February. It is the single highest-return thing a homeowner can do for equipment life.

Austin78714 HVAC questions, answered
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into Austin is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
What does a new system cost in Austin?
A complete residential replacement in the 78714 area generally lands between $6,000 and $13,000 installed, depending on capacity, efficiency rating and how much ductwork has to be modified. We always perform a Manual J load calculation first, because an oversized unit costs more to buy and runs worse than a correctly sized one.
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 much does an HVAC service call cost in 78714?
A diagnostic visit in Austin typically runs $75 to $150, and that fee is usually applied toward the repair if you approve the work. Repair prices are quoted as a flat rate before we start, so the number you approve is the number you pay regardless of how long the job takes.
What brands do you service in Austin?
All of them. Our 78714 technicians are trained on Trane, Amana, York, Lennox 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.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
