The Austin78736 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.
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Thermostat reading several degrees off from reality
Furnace lights then shuts down after a few seconds
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Heat pump stuck blowing cold air in heating mode
No cool air, or air that is barely cooler than the room
Heating and air conditioning service built around Austin
We keep licensed, background-checked technicians on the road in Austin and the surrounding 78736 service area, so a no-cool or no-heat call usually gets a same-visit fix rather than a return trip.
Local homeowners often run their system harder than the design intended, especially during March through November. That accelerates wear on contactors, capacitors and blower bearings.
Because Texas runs high-capacity split air conditioning with gas or electric heat, the transition between seasons is when we see the most emergency calls — equipment that sat unused for months.

Austin78736 HVAC questions, answered
What brands do you service in Austin?
All of them. Our 78736 technicians are trained on Mitsubishi Electric, Amana, Heil, Carrier 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.
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.
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.
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Texas, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
How much does an HVAC service call cost in 78736?
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 causes water to leak from the indoor unit?
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line, a failed drain pan float switch, or a frozen coil melting faster than the pan can handle. In Austin we see algae and dust clogging drain lines constantly during March through November. It is a fast fix but ignoring it ends in ceiling damage.
