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.

“Erick Contreras and his crew were excellent. All of them seemed very competent technically. Felt there was sincere interest in doing quality work. Installation is a big job. And they were careful about protecting the house while moving equipment in and out. The work was completed to the letter of the estimate. Now hoping that the new system operates as well as the installation has gone.”
“We have a mini split (2020) and a full HVAC system (2024) from Alamo Austin Air. Every interaction we have had with everyone in the company has been exceptional. We are out of town and received an alert from our thermostat app last night about a potential clogged drain. I contacted the office first thing this morning. Noah Zapata was at our house by 1:30 pm to check out our system. We love working with Noah, and we also love having a consistent service tech. He knows his stuff and he is a great communicator. He was able to blow out the drain and now we do not have to worry about out house sitter being there with no a/c. Thanks to all involved in taking care of this issue so promptly, and from a distance.”
“Sonny was the absolute best! Awesome customer service, great overall experience with this company. We had reached out to multiple others in the area but Sonny came by and explained/showed everything that needed work instead of simply quoting an expensive new system. Will call him every time we need AC support moving forward!”
“Nick was perfect in every aspect. He arrived on time, found the exact problem, and fixed it perfectly. He checked everything thoroughly and cleaned up beautifully after finishing. It’s hard to find a reliable AC technician these days, making Nick a truly rare and outstanding worker.”
“Eliezer arrived on time and his team did a great job installing our new AC unit and furnace. They were very careful in wearing shoe covers to protect floors and in removing indoor furnace. He went over everything at the end and cleaned up. Thanks Alamo.”
“Sonny was great! Came home to our ac not working and Sonny fixed it right up. 😊”
“I had new AC coil installed in June by team led by Angel. The work was completed well, even though they had technical difficulties from previous installation. They were good about working with quirks ( doors to keep shut due to exploring cats & a VERY difficult 12” folding attic ladder) and stayed until all systems were confirmed to be working properly.”
“The unit Jason installed 8 years ago has performed flawlessly until last night. I put in a request for service and received a call this morning. Sonny replaced a failed capacitor, performed system health checks (all good) and had cold air blowing before noon. Thank You!”
“Nick was very thorough checking the system in the attic and the unit outside.
After using a local company for the last seven years. They only spent 30 minutes checking our total system. It was an eye opener to have your rep take their time checking the whole system!
Thank you Nick! We will definitely call again for a winter check, and a summer check
In 2027.”
