Heating and air conditioning service built around Manchaca
Extended extreme heat, attic temperatures well above 140 degrees, and grid stress during heat waves are the norm. Our Manchaca teams are set up for exactly that: rapid response, flat-rate pricing quoted before work begins, and no surprise overtime charge for nights or weekends.
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.
If your system is over ten years old and you have had two repairs in the last two seasons, a replacement comparison is usually worth running even if the current unit still runs.

Manchaca78652 HVAC questions, answered
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can give you realistic ranges — and this page lists the ones homeowners in Manchaca 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 Manchaca 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.
How often should I change my filter in 78652?
Monthly inspection and replacement every 60 to 90 days is the baseline. Homes in Manchaca 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 Manchaca 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.
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.
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.
