Residential HVAC Services We Offer
AC Repair
When your air conditioner stops cooling or starts acting up, we respond fast. We diagnose the problem on the first visit and give you a written estimate before any work begins. Most repairs are completed the same day.
Common repairs we handle:
- Refrigerant recharges and leak detection
- Capacitor and contactor replacements
- Blower motor and fan repairs
- Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning
- Thermostat diagnostics and replacement
- Electrical board and control failures
Heating Repair
Central Texas winters are mild but real. When temperatures drop into the 30s, a failing heat exchanger or faulty ignition isn't something to wait on. We service all furnace types, heat pumps, and electric heating systems across SW Austin.
Seasonal Tune-Ups
A pre-season tune-up is the single best investment you can make in your HVAC system. Our $69 System Health Check covers all manufacturer-recommended inspection points and catches failing components before they cause a breakdown. Book before April and you'll beat the summer rush.
System Installation and Replacement
If your system is over 12–15 years old, a replacement may cost less over the next five years than continued repairs. We install energy-efficient systems from leading manufacturers and help you navigate Austin Energy rebates — averaging $800 for qualifying installs — to reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
Indoor Air Quality
SW Austin's Hill Country location means pollen, cedar, and dust circulate heavily through home HVAC systems from February through May. We offer:
- High-efficiency filtration upgrades
- Whole-home air purification systems
- UV germicidal lights
- Humidity control and ventilation improvements
Why SW Austin Homes Need Specialized HVAC Care
Southwest Austin has a distinct housing and climate character that creates specific HVAC challenges.
Larger homes on slabs. Circle C Ranch, West Lake Hills, and Bee Cave are largely comprised of larger single-family homes — many over 2,500 sq. ft. — built on slab foundations. These homes require properly sized systems and balanced duct design to maintain even temperatures across all zones.
Hill Country topography. Homes in Steiner Ranch, Lakeway, and Rob Roy sit on limestone terrain with significant elevation changes. This affects how heat moves through the home and how ductwork needs to be routed.
Cedar and oak pollen. February through April is cedar and oak pollen season across Central Texas. Pollen and airborne allergens clog air filters quickly and reduce system efficiency — sometimes dropping airflow by 20–30% in peak weeks.
Long cooling seasons. Austin's AC season runs from roughly April through October — seven months of near-continuous operation. Systems in SW Austin accumulate the equivalent of 12–16 hours of daily run time during summer peaks. Annual maintenance is not optional here; it's the difference between a system that lasts 18 years and one that needs replacement at 10.
What Does AC Repair Cost in SW Austin?
Repair costs vary significantly based on what failed, how old the system is, and how quickly you need service. Here's a practical breakdown:
| Type of Repair | Typical Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Capacitor replacement | $90–$200 |
| Refrigerant recharge | $150–$400 |
| Contactor replacement | $100–$250 |
| Evaporator coil cleaning | $100–$300 |
| Blower motor replacement | $300–$600 |
| Thermostat replacement | $75–$250 |
| Compressor replacement | $600–$1,500+ |
| Full system replacement | $4,500–$12,000+ |
The fastest way to avoid a $600+ repair is a $69 spring tune-up. Most major failure points — capacitors, refrigerant levels, coil condition — are caught during a routine inspection before they cascade into larger problems.
CG Service Pros provides written estimates before any work begins. No surprise charges, no upsells.
Spring Tune-Up: What We Check and Why It Matters
Our $69 Pre-Season System Health Check covers every manufacturer-recommended inspection point:
Electrical:
- Inspect and tighten all electrical connections
- Test capacitors and contactors
- Check thermostat calibration and operation
- Inspect disconnect and breaker operation
Refrigeration:
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect for leaks at coils and line sets
- Measure supply and return air temperatures
Mechanical:
- Clean condenser coils
- Check and lubricate blower motor and bearings
- Inspect fan blades and belt condition
- Flush condensate drain line
Airflow:
- Measure static pressure and airflow
- Check for duct leaks at accessible connections
- Inspect and replace air filter (filter cost not included)
A tune-up in late March or early April puts your system in the best possible shape before Austin's first 90°F day — which can arrive any time after mid-April.
Signs Your AC System Needs Attention
Don't wait until a complete breakdown. These warning signs indicate a repair call is needed:
Warm or uneven air. If some rooms are comfortable and others feel like saunas, you likely have a refrigerant, airflow, or zoning issue.
Weak airflow. Low air coming from vents usually points to a clogged filter, dirty blower wheel, or failing motor.
Unusual sounds. Grinding, banging, squealing, or rattling are never normal. Catch them early and you're usually looking at a $150–$300 repair. Ignore them and you may be replacing a compressor.
Higher-than-normal electric bills. An inefficient system works harder to hit your set temperature. In SW Austin's summer heat, that inefficiency can add $100–$200/month to your bill.
Short cycling. An AC that turns on and off every few minutes is straining its compressor and typically signals a refrigerant, electrical, or sizing issue.
Visible ice or water. Ice on refrigerant lines or water pooling around your air handler means something is wrong with your airflow or refrigerant system. Shut the system off and call us.
AC Replacement vs. Repair: How to Decide
This is the most common question SW Austin homeowners ask, and the honest answer depends on several factors:
Lean toward repair if:
- The system is under 10 years old
- It uses R-410A refrigerant (not the discontinued R-22)
- This is the first major repair
- The repair cost is under $500
Lean toward replacement if:
- The system is 12+ years old
- You've had two or more major repairs in recent years
- It uses R-22 refrigerant (replacement refrigerant is expensive and increasingly scarce)
- The repair cost exceeds $1,000 on an aging system
- Your energy bills have climbed despite regular maintenance
A modern 18–20 SEER2 system can reduce your cooling costs by 25–40% compared to a 10–12 SEER system from 15 years ago. Over a 7-month Austin cooling season, that savings compounds fast.
We give honest repair-versus-replace assessments at no obligation. If repair makes more sense, we'll tell you.
