Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Austin, TX, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Alamo Austin Air professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Texas home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Alamo Austin Air team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

“Our AC started blowing warm air the hottest week of the year (end of August). We contacted alamo Austin air and they sent a great technician, Ivan, to help us. Unfortunately he couldn’t find anything wrong with our unit initially, as it started blowing cool again before he arrived, so he cleaned it thoroughly and flushed the exhaust. A couple of days later later, the issue occurred again and they sent Ivan back within an hour. Motor needed to be replaced on the outside unit. Couldn’t be happier with the prompt and professional service we received!”
“When our air conditioning stopped working, a neighbor recommended Alamo Austin Air Conditioning. The were able to give us a same-day appointment, and when Adrian came to the house he thoroughly explained what he would do, quickly determined the issue, and had our system back to working quickly. Even after determining what he thought was the issue, he took the time to check other components of the system. We had an excellent experience and will continue to use Alamo Austin Air Conditioning.”
“Eli and team did an on-time and thorough job installing my new central A/C. They cleaned up aftwards and were knowledgeable and patient with my questions. Everything started up and worked like a charm.
I had been satisfied with the performance and electricity consumption of my 19 year old single stage unit, but my new 2-stage Carrier is a surprising and appreciated upgrade in comfort and economy. Erik did a great job walking me through the different types and I think led me to the correct decision for me.”
“I want to highly recommend Mitch Reaves. Very knowledgeable and personable, and he explained everything to me. Luckily there were no major repairs needed but if there were I’m confident he could easily handle it. I high recommend him and Alamo Air.”
“Noah was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great guy to talk baseball with! He took his time to run through all diagnostic possibilities and was able to quickly replace the bad part once he located it. Noah and Alamo will be our go-to HVAC people from now on.”
“Austin McGuire provided an amazing service. He explained everything to us and gave us some suggestions on how to improve our AC. He was respectful and kind.”
“Chris was outstanding in helping me with a few issues after a service installation. He took ownership of my issues caused by a poor house design of the AC closet causing problems with the return air and noise. Chris went the extra mile when I was told a couple of times there was nothing I could really do about it. Many thanks Chris for making it right! Excellent service!”
“Simply put, Sonny is amazing. He’s a great human being, trustworthy, really good dude, and really knows his stuff. He is the only guy that I’ll work with. Can’t say enough about him”
“I won’t use anyone else! Honest, efficient, competent. Alamo is all of these things. If you need a second opinion give them a call. Thanks Alamo!”
