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.

“Sonny was great! Professional, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend!”
“Jason clearly has a wealth of experience and applies that to design a system that is perfectly tuned for efficiency, longevity, and the details of house in question. Chris is all about customer satisfaction, has a thorough knowledge of how everything works, and gets the job done quickly and correctly. Everyone is polite and friendly. There's obviously good mentorship going on, and the whole business seems to operate like a family. They're a pleasure to deal with!”
“I'm extremely happy with the service. They arrived quickly, resolved the issue and provided information to help me avoid the issue in the future.”
“After 20 years of the original home builder/contractor installed Carrier HVAC(R22) 3 ton system we knew it was time for a complete system swap out. Why? Reduce our electric bill and the new refrigerant standard as of 1/1/25. And I did a lot of research and educated myself on those two subjects by watching many pro instructional HVAC classroom/hands on videos and reading the latest online articles. Home HVAC systems are very complicated but the basic theory of operation can and should be understood by the homeowner. We contracted Alamo Austin because of their local ownership, reviews and awards. Our new system is the Carrier Comfort Series, single stage, 80% afue/410a 3 ton matched pair. The entire swap out went perfectly, under 8 hours. All connections, fittings, and duct work in the furnace closet and outside condenser was a detailed professional installation and commissioning. The entire company team exceeded my expectations and under our budget too. Carrier+Alamo Austin, for the win~!”
“The team was prompt, respectful and performed the install in a timely and professional manner. I wish all service experiences were like this.”
“We are very pleased with the work Sonny did to repair our AC unit. Even though he had to make a few trips to our home to address the issue we were having, he was persistent in finding the cause of the issue. He was very professional, and would definitely recommend him and Alamo to my friends. Our AC runs great now!”
“Our upstairs central AC went down yesterday. I called Alamo Austin. They set up an appointment with their tech, Austin (who had come out about six weeks ago to clean our HVAC system). Austin is great — he let me observe what he was doing to solve our problem, answered my myriad questions as he worked, and hunted down the culprit that caused a short in the system. He's a very knowledgable technician and is great at explaining what he's doing. We couldn't have been happier now that our AC is up and running again.”
“Sonny was very professional and courteous. It was a very positive experience.”
