Is your unit 10+ years old?
Most residential AC units last 12–15 years. Past year ten, parts get scarce and efficiency drops fast.
● Lean toward replaceAustin's heating & cooling specialists. Honest diagnostics, fair prices, no commission selling. We answer our own phones.
Before you spend a dime, run your unit against this. We use the same logic on every diagnostic — and we'll tell you the truth even when it costs us a sale.
Most residential AC units last 12–15 years. Past year ten, parts get scarce and efficiency drops fast.
● Lean toward replaceRepeat breakdowns usually mean a deeper issue — compressor, coil, or refrigerant circuit. Throwing parts at it gets expensive.
● Lean toward replaceIf you're putting $4K into a unit that costs $8K to replace, the math stops working. We'll give you both numbers up front.
● Lean toward replaceOlder systems lose efficiency every season. A 14-SEER swap to a modern variable-speed unit often pays itself back in 5–7 years.
● Worth running the numbersCapacitor, contactor, blower motor, refrigerant top-up — most calls land here. Repair, document, schedule a tune-up. Done.

We're not a single-brand shop. We pick the right unit for the home — efficiency, climate, ductwork, budget. These are the brands we trust enough to warranty.
Infinity series with two-stage cooling. Reliable, parts are everywhere, dealers actually honor the warranty.
XV80 and XV95 furnaces hold target temp tighter than single-stage. Best pick for older Austin homes with leaky envelopes.
Garage offices, ADUs, additions where running ductwork doesn't pencil out. Hyper-Heat works in real Texas winters too.
Schedule-aware, geofenced, plays nicely with most equipment. We program it before we leave so you don't have to.
Bypass humidifiers, MERV-13 media filters, fresh-air ventilators. The air in your house should be better than the air outside.
Fluke 902 FC, 116, T6 — clamp meters, manometers, refrigerant scales. We measure first, then talk. No guesswork.
Every system is different, but here's what most jobs run in our service area. Diagnostics get you the exact number before any work starts.
Catch the small stuff before the 105°F afternoon — or the 22°F morning. Filters, refrigerant, electricals, drains.
