What’s your AC doing?
Whatever the symptom, the visit starts the same way: real diagnostics to find the actual cause — not guesswork, not parts-swapping.
Blowing warm air
Often a failed capacitor, a refrigerant issue, or a condenser problem outside. We test the electrical side first — it’s the most common and cheapest fix.
Get this fixed →Frozen or icing up
Ice means restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Shut it off, run fan-only, and call — running it frozen can take out the compressor, the most expensive part.
Get this fixed →Leaking water
Usually a clogged condensate drain or a frozen coil melting off. Fast to fix — and worth fixing fast, before ceilings and floors get damaged.
Get this fixed →Short cycling on and off
Starting and stopping every few minutes wears equipment fast. Causes range from thermostat placement to an oversized or failing system — we find which.
Get this fixed →Weak airflow
Many “broken AC” calls are airflow problems: clogged filters, dirty coils, blower trouble, duct leaks. Fixing airflow restores capacity you already paid for.
Get this fixed →Won’t turn on at all
Dead systems are often controls: thermostat, breaker, float switch, contactor. We trace the startup sequence step by step until we find the break.
Get this fixed →How a service call works
Clear from the first call to the final test — you always know what’s happening and what it costs.
Call or request a callback
Describe the symptoms. We’ll walk through two-minute checks on the phone first — sometimes that alone solves it, free.
Real diagnostics
Electrical tests, refrigerant pressures, temperature split, airflow — we find the actual cause, not just the loudest symptom.
Flat quote before work
You get a plain-language explanation of what failed and one flat price. You approve it before a single part is touched.
Fix, test & verify
We complete the repair, then verify cooling performance under load — the job’s done when the air is cold, not when the invoice prints.

AC repair questions, answered straight
How quickly can you get to me in Austin?
Same-day appointments are often available Monday–Friday, especially if you call in the morning. During heat waves the schedule fills fast — call (512) 692-7191 and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there.
How much does AC repair cost in Austin?
It depends on what failed. In the Austin market, simple electrical parts like capacitors and contactors sit at the low end, blower motors and refrigerant leaks in the middle, and compressors at the high end. What’s constant with us: you approve one flat price for the repair before any work starts — no hourly meter.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
A useful rule of thumb: multiply the unit’s age by the repair cost — over about $5,000, and replacement deserves a serious look. Systems on discontinued R-22 refrigerant or with repeated compressor trouble also lean toward replacement. We fix what’s worth fixing and tell you plainly when it isn’t. See our installation page for how replacement works.
Why is my AC freezing up?
Ice on the lines or coil usually means restricted airflow — a clogged filter, dirty coil, or failing blower — or a low refrigerant charge. Pro tip: turn the system off and run the fan only until your visit. It protects the compressor and lets us diagnose faster.
Do you work on my brand of AC?
Yes — every major brand: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Ruud, American Standard, Amana, Daikin, York, Bryant, and more, across central ACs, heat pumps, ducted splits, and packaged units.
What should I check before calling?
Three quick things: thermostat set to cool with fresh batteries, the AC breaker hasn’t tripped, and the filter isn’t clogged. This two-minute check sometimes saves you the cost of a visit — and if you call, we’re happy to walk through it with you on the phone first.
Every hour without AC in Austin is an hour too many.
Call now, or leave your number and the technician will call you back to get cold air moving again.
