Trusted HVAC Contractors in Austin, TX

Yes, all air conditioning units need servicing. We recommend all units be serviced twice a year to ensure any possible issues are found early. For this reason, we have tiered maintenance plans.

Maintenance costs vary, and different companies will have specifics on their plans. Our basic maintenance plan starts at 129.95 for a twice-a-year check and tune-up.

Yes, we can repair any air conditioning unit or system; however, after ten years, we recommend replacement as repairs can quickly become very expensive and potentially be more than the cost of a new unit.

You can run your air conditioner as long as you want. Turning the thermostat below 70 degrees is not recommended, as this can cause the evaporator coil to freeze.

R-22 is a refrigerant often used in air conditioners and heat pumps. Because R-22 depletes the ozone layer, production, and import was significantly reduced in 2010. Since 2015, there has been almost a complete ban on the production of R-22. The price of R-22 refrigerant is skyrocketing as we speak. It has already doubled since last year and is expected to triple in the next few years, and the supply of R-22 refrigerant is already limited. As the phase-out continues and prices rise, you can expect availability to fall. If you have an existing R-22 heat pump or air conditioning system, you do not have to rush out immediately and buy a new R-410A system. You can continue using it, but you should maintain your unit properly. Regular servicing minimizes potential environmental damage and higher maintenance costs due to mechanical breakdowns or refrigerant leaks. But for our customers with R-22 systems over ten years old, consider replacing them now rather than later.
