The Austin78756 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.
One or two rooms that never reach the set temperature
Water pooling around the indoor unit or ceiling stains
Dead or bulging run capacitor on the condenser
Short cycling — on and off every few minutes
Yellow or orange burner flame instead of steady blue
Skyrocketing utility bills with no change in usage
Heating and air conditioning service built around Austin
We keep licensed, background-checked technicians on the road in Austin and the surrounding 78756 service area, so a no-cool or no-heat call usually gets a same-visit fix rather than a return trip.
A large share of the equipment we service in Austin was installed by a builder to a minimum spec. That usually means an undersized return, a cheap filter rack and a condenser sitting close to a wall.
Heating season here is December through February. A pre-season inspection catches cracked heat exchangers and failing igniters before the first real cold snap.

Austin78756 HVAC questions, answered
What does a new system cost in Austin?
A complete residential replacement in the 78756 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.
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.
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 78756 service area our target response time is 90-120 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.
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.
