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.

“I had an old HVAC system replaced along with some rebuilt plenum/ductwork performed by Alamo Austin AC & Heat on March 31, 2026. The entire team of installers and techs were very professional throughout the entire process. This job was a 5 ton, two zone install and basically took an entire work day. From my first impression of the installation team arriving on-time and entering my home to going over the entire new system, each representative from Alamo Austin AC and Heat was extraordinary in their customer service and cleanliness before, during and after the new HVAC system was installed. I want to personally give a big shout out to Angel, Chris, Adrian, Fernando and Eli for the exceptional job they did. This is a company I will definitely use again. Thank you Alamo Austin AC & Heat!”
“Nick did an outstanding job on the servicing of my A/C unit. He was very detailed and explained all of the procedures he performed.
Great job and I am new customer.”
“Adrian was great! He identified the problem, retrieved the part and got my AC up and running properly within a few hours. Professional, friendly, and efficient!”
“Excellent service! Quick response time, AC wasn't working in the late afternoon and had a technician out early the next morning. Adrian was super personable and professional, got everything resolved and the unit is blowing cold again. Thank y'all!”
“Ivan has been our tech since we moved to this area to check and give maintenance to the system since we bought it at Alamo Austin in 2021. He is always in time, knowledgeable and reliable. Keep up the good work Alamo!”
“Sony has done a wonderful job with both an air conditioner malfunction and with routine service. He is polite, efficient and courteous. I would strongly recommend Alamo and Sony for any HVAC issues”
“Fast and timely service today! Our tech Ivan is amazing and educated us both about our system. Ivan has been to our house and is familiar with how our system is set up. Love the continuity and definitely would use Alamo Austin again!”
“My technition was very knowledgable and efficient”
“We have always dreaded getting a new AC installed, but the team at Alamo Austin made the entire process go smoothly. Sonny and Lisa answered all of my questions beforehand and worked to find an installation date that worked well for me. On installation day Erick and Angel arrived and finished exactly on time. The crew took care not to damage floors, stairs and walls while working. Angel answered all my questions regarding the outside equipment. Erick provided a full system demonstration, which included a walkthrough of all components and thermostat programming. It is evident this crew takes pride in their work because the attic and outside components are noticeably more organized than before. It is actually surprising how much better the new system looks compared to the old one. We are thrilled to have cool air flowing through our home once again, and we couldn’t be happier with the exceptional service provided. Thank you!”
