## Comprehensive FAQ

### AC Repair & Maintenance

**Q: How often should I have my AC serviced in Austin?**
A: Schedule AC maintenance twice yearly in Austin. A spring tune-up prepares your system for summer heat, while fall service ensures winter readiness. Regular maintenance prevents costly breakdowns during 100-degree summers and extends equipment lifespan significantly.

**Q: Why is my AC blowing warm air?**
A: Common causes include low refrigerant from leaks, frozen evaporator coils, or compressor failure. First check thermostat settings and replace dirty filters. If issues persist, contact a licensed technician to diagnose refrigerant levels and electrical components.

**Q: Why is my AC running but not cooling my house?**
A: Your AC may be low on refrigerant, have a frozen evaporator coil, or suffer from restricted airflow due to clogged filters or blocked vents. Undersized units also struggle in extreme Austin heat. A technician can pinpoint the exact cause.

**Q: How long should an AC unit last in Austin, Texas?**
A: Central AC units in Austin typically last 12 to 15 years with proper maintenance. Extreme summer heat accelerates wear, so some systems need earlier replacement. Annual professional tune-ups and timely repairs maximize lifespan and maintain efficiency.

**Q: What are signs my AC is dying?**
A: Warning signs include frequent repairs, rising energy bills, uneven cooling, strange noises, and the system struggling to maintain temperature. Units over 10 years old showing multiple symptoms typically indicate replacement is more economical than continued repairs.

**Q: How can I make my AC last longer?**
A: Change filters monthly during summer, keep outdoor units clear of debris, schedule biannual professional maintenance, and address repairs promptly. Avoid extreme thermostat settings and ensure proper attic insulation to reduce system strain in Austin heat.

**Q: What SEER rating should I choose for Austin?**
A: Choose SEER 16 or higher for Austin's climate. Higher-efficiency units (18–26 SEER) cost more upfront but typically recoup costs in 5–7 years through lower energy bills during our extended cooling season.

**Q: How much does AC repair cost in Austin?**
A: Minor AC repairs in Austin cost $150 to $500 for capacitors, contactors, or fan motors. Major repairs involving compressors or evaporator coils range from $500 to $2,000. We provide transparent upfront pricing before starting any work.

### Heating Services

**Q: Do I really need a heater in Austin, Texas?**
A: Yes, Austin winters regularly drop into the 30s and 40s from December through February. Ice storms and hard freezes occur periodically. A reliable heating system keeps your family comfortable and prevents frozen pipes during cold snaps.

**Q: What is the difference between a heat pump and furnace?**
A: Heat pumps transfer outdoor heat inside and work efficiently in mild climates like Austin. Furnaces burn gas or use electric resistance to generate heat. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling, making them more cost-effective for Texas homeowners.

**Q: How do I prepare my heater for Austin's winter?**
A: Schedule a professional fall tune-up, replace air filters, and test your thermostat before cold weather arrives. Listen for unusual noises during the first heating cycle. Early preparation ensures reliable operation during unexpected freezing temperatures.

**Q: How much does heating repair cost in Austin?**
A: Heating repairs in Austin range from $150 for minor fixes like ignitor replacement to $1,500 or more for heat exchanger or blower motor issues. We diagnose problems accurately and provide upfront pricing before beginning repairs.

### Installation & Replacement

**Q: How much does a new AC system cost in Austin?**
A: New central AC systems in Austin range from $5,000 to $15,000 depending on size, efficiency rating, and brand. This includes equipment, professional installation, and permits. Financing options and utility rebates help reduce upfront costs.

**Q: How long does AC installation take?**
A: Standard AC replacements take 4 to 8 hours for straightforward installations. Projects requiring ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or complex configurations may take 1 to 2 days. We provide accurate time estimates during consultations.

**Q: What size AC do I need for my home?**
A: AC sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and local climate factors. Undersized units run constantly without cooling properly. Oversized units cycle too frequently. We perform load calculations for accurate sizing.

**Q: Should I repair or replace my AC unit?**
A: Apply the $5,000 rule: if repair costs multiplied by equipment age exceed $5,000, replacement is more economical. Units over 10 years old with major component failures typically warrant replacement with modern, efficient equipment.

**Q: Is it worth repairing a 20 year old AC?**
A: Generally no. Units over 15 years have exceeded their expected lifespan and use outdated R-22 refrigerant that's expensive and being phased out. Repair costs rarely justify extending an aging system when new units offer 30–50% better efficiency.

### Financing & Rebates

**Q: Do you offer financing for HVAC work?**
A: Yes, we offer flexible financing including 0% APR options for qualified buyers and low monthly payment plans. We work with various credit situations to help Austin homeowners afford efficient heating and cooling without large upfront payments.

**Q: Are there rebates for new HVAC systems in Texas?**
A: Yes, Austin Energy offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency equipment. Manufacturer rebates are also available on select systems. We help customers identify and apply for all available incentives when planning installations.

**Q: What warranties do you offer on HVAC work?**
A: We provide 90-day warranties on all repairs. New equipment installations include manufacturer warranties up to 10 years on parts. Extended labor warranties are available for major installations, providing additional peace of mind.

**Q: What is the cheapest time to run my AC?**
A: Run your AC during off-peak hours, typically before 3 PM and after 7 PM when electricity rates are lower. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when away. Using ceiling fans allows raising the thermostat while maintaining comfort.

**Q: Is there an extra charge for emergency or after-hours service?**
