The Austin78739 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.
Frozen evaporator coil or ice on the refrigerant lines
Squealing or grinding from the blower assembly
Musty or burnt smell the first time the system runs
Pilot light or hot surface igniter failing repeatedly
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Outdoor condenser humming but the fan not turning
Heating and air conditioning service built around Austin
Whether the complaint is weak airflow upstairs, a furnace that will not stay lit, or an outdoor unit that hums but never starts, the process is the same — a proper diagnostic, a written price, then the repair.
Homes in Travis County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
Peak cooling demand here runs March through November. Booking a tune-up in early spring means you are not competing with the whole neighbourhood for a tech in July.

Austin78739 HVAC questions, answered
Do you offer maintenance plans?
We do. A two-visit plan in Texas covers a spring cooling inspection and an autumn heating inspection, priority scheduling during peak weeks, discounted repairs and no diagnostic fee. Members rarely end up on the emergency list.
What brands do you service in Austin?
All of them. Our 78739 technicians are trained on Trane, Heil, Rheem, American Standard 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.
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 78739?
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 service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around Austin we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
