AfterHVAC Company in Austin, TX
Most Austin homeowners pay between $150 and $700 for HVAC repairs, with routine tune-ups running $80 – $200. We’re Brandt HVAC, and we handle the specific problems this city’s climate and housing stock create: attic ductwork cooked by 150°F summer heat, undersized furnaces overwhelmed by Arctic cold snaps, and the ongoing wave of heat-pump retrofits that followed Winter Storm Uri. If you need help now, call us at (984) 538-9003. A live person answers, 24 hours a day.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
Austin sits at the intersection of two compounding HVAC crises. First, the city’s dominant housing stock: single-story, slab-on-grade homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s across North Austin, Pflugerville, and Round Rock, with ductwork run through unconditioned attics. Those attics routinely hit 140 – 155°F from May through September, destroying duct insulation and seals far faster than in comparable hot cities with shorter peak seasons or more shade. Homeowners often respond by installing chronically oversized equipment that short-cycles, wastes energy, and dies young.
Second, the lasting fallout of Winter Storm Uri in February 2021. Temperatures near 0°F exposed that most Austin homes were built with virtually no freeze resilience, triggering a sustained local wave of dual-fuel heat pump retrofits and weatherization upgrades that remains ongoing. Austin Energy’s status as a municipally-owned utility adds another layer: its own distinct efficiency rebate tiers and equipment requirements shape what gets specified here in ways that don’t apply to Oncor-served Dallas or CPS Energy-served San Antonio.
Then there’s cedar fever. The Hill Country immediately west hosts North America’s densest mountain cedar concentrations, and the December-through-February pollen drop drives a seasonal cycle of filter upgrades and air purifier installations that simply doesn’t exist in Houston or Dallas.
Our Main Austin Services
These are the three calls we field most often from Austin homeowners, each shaped by the local conditions above.
AC Repair in Austin
We spend a lot of time in Austin attics tracing leaks in flex duct that’s had the insulation cooked off it. The most common summer call is a system blowing warm air because refrigerant leaked out through a corroded coil, or because a capacitor failed under continuous load. We stock capacitors, contactors, and refrigerant for same-day restoration on most brands, and we always give you a written price before touching anything. AC Repair in Austin covers the full range of what we fix and what it costs.
Furnace Repair in Austin
Post-Uri, we’re seeing more heat pump lockouts and failed electric heat strips in systems that were never designed for sustained sub-freezing operation. Gas furnace calls spike during the first real cold snap each winter, often for failed igniters or limit switches in units that haven’t run hard in months. We carry igniters, flame sensors, and control boards for Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem on our trucks. Furnace Repair in Austin has the details.
AC Maintenance in Austin
Austin’s 100+ days above 90°F each year make maintenance less optional than preventive. Our tune-ups focus on what fails here: checking refrigerant levels, testing capacitors under load, inspecting attic duct seams, and measuring static pressure to catch the early signs of an oversized or struggling system. We also swap filters and note whether your home would benefit from upgraded filtration ahead of cedar season. AC Maintenance in Austin explains what’s included and why the timing matters.

What pushes Austin prices toward the higher end: attic ductwork that’s degraded and needs partial replacement, systems that have been oversized and are working harder than they should, and the occasional refrigerant line set that has to be run through a slab-on-grade foundation. What doesn’t change: you’ll get a written price before any work starts, and that price is the price you pay.
