At Austin HVAC Pro, we do not charge overtime fees for emergency calls. We believe safety in the Texas heat shouldn't come with a penalty.

Our average dispatch time is 28 minutes. We pre-position technicians in Round Rock, South Austin, and Pflugerville to bypass I-35 traffic.

Do you offer same-day AC installation?

+

Yes, for most standard residential units. If your system is terminal, we can often have a new unit installed and cooling within 24 hours.

Will you repair an AC at night?

+

Absolutely. We have a full "Night Watch" crew equipped with specialized lighting to perform attic and outdoor repairs safely in the dark.

What happens if my AC fails on a holiday?

We are operational 365 days a year. Christmas, July 4th, or New Year's—if your home is hot, we are available.

Pricing & Financing

How much does a new AC installation cost in Austin?

Full system replacements typically range from $6,500 to $12,000 depending on tonnage and SEER2 rating. We provide exact, no-surprise quotes.

Do you offer 0% interest financing?

+

Yes. We offer 0% APR for up to 18 months through our partners. Approval usually takes less than 5 minutes on your smartphone.

Do you charge for a diagnostic?

+

We have a small diagnostic fee to cover the trip and expert testing, but we waive this fee entirely if you proceed with any repair.

Can I get a quote over the phone?

+

We can provide "ballpark" ranges, but a master tech must inspect your unit to give a binding, guaranteed price based on your home's unique needs.

Are there rebates for high-efficiency units?

+

Yes! You can claim up to $2,000 in federal tax credits and up to $1,500 in local utility rebates. We handle all the paperwork for you.

Technical & Maintenance

What is a SEER2 rating?

+

SEER2 is the new standard for energy efficiency. Higher ratings mean lower monthly bills from Austin Energy or TXU.

Why is my AC blowing warm air?

Common causes include a blown capacitor, low refrigerant (leak), or a tripped breaker. Turn it OFF and call us to avoid compressor damage.
