Health and safety are always our highest priority. In light of COVID-19, we are taking extra measures -- including social distancing and increased PPE/sanitation procedures -- to protect the health of our community and team as we continue to provide service. In short, you can expect the same great service but with some modifications for the protection of all involved.
We are a local, family-owned business that has been serving the greater Austin area since 1976. Over the last 40+ years, we have built a reputation for providing high-quality, comprehensive HVAC, electrical and plumbing service. We employ experienced, full-time technicians and don't use subcontractors, so you can expect consistently great quality and service whenever you call us. In addition to receiving extensive training before working independently, all of our technicians must pass a background check, drug test and random drug screening, which many other companies do not require. We hold our employees to the highest standards in order to provide you with the highest level of service. We service and install all brands of air conditioning, but we are proud to be a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer and a two-time winner of the Carrier President's Award for excellence.

Efficient AC, Electric & Plumbing, recently replaced my HVAC system. Brian Moran, the sales person, was friendly, knowledgable and gave me a quick estimate and install time. Tony and Thomas who did the installation were professional, friendly and went the extra mile on a couple of non-related AC issues. I would highly recommend them!

We were very pleased with service technician Bobby and the professionalism shown by Efficient AC. Our previous Company had been bought out and the service went downhill. Bobby was punctual, informative, and professional. We plan to use Efficient’s plumbing and electrical services for any future needs. We recommend this company.

It took five attempts to get someone beyond the initial phone contact to return a call. In all of these attempts, I left a message with someone who I was told would contact me. On the fifth attempt I was able to arrange an appointment for someone to come by for an estimate. They did not show to the appointment nor did they call to indicate they were unable to make the appointment

Efficent AC Electric and Plumbing is an exceptional company. They have provided service, repair work, and installed a new ground loop heat pump in my home. I will address all three areas in this review. Service: Excellent. The technicians are knowledgeable, show up on time, address all maintenance areas, and get their work done correctly and efficiently. Repair: Excellent. If parts are not in stock, they are ordered promptly. Technicians arrive on time as scheduled and complete the work precisely on time the first time. They always have all of the required tools, materials and test equipment with them. Installation of replacement equipment: Excellent. Our installation was a difficult one. The unit is a ground loop heat pump that was installed by a different company. The unit location is in a difficult to access area. The installation team worked efficiently to complete the installation in less time than estimated. they protected the affected work area, did an impressive installation job, and cleaned up completely. A working management level person was onsite to supervise and inspect the work done. Summary: Efficent AC Electric and Plumbing provides work at the highest quality level. They have researched the systems available on the market and offer the most reliable and cost effective solutions.The staff is competent, knowledgable, and customer focused. They communicate effectively and proactively. Their pricing is fair and competitive. Having experienced service, repairs and installation with numerous other HVAC companies I can say without equivocation that Efficent AC Electric and Plumbing is the top contractor in this field I have had the pleasure of working with. My expectations have been exceeded every time I have dealt with Efficent AC Electric and Plumbing. I highly recommend them highly without reservation.

We had Efficient install a new gas water heater for us. We received 3 estimates, but their representative, Steve was the most professional and friendliest. They were able to get us on the schedule quickly. The installation team were on time, clean, professional, and friendly. The install was completed in a couple of hours for a good price. My wife and I are incredibly pleased with the whole experience. A big thanks to the whole Efficient team.

MORE than 5 STARS are needed for Efficient AC. Here's why: A few weeks ago, it became time to replace my three 20-year-old Carrier air conditioners (one at 3-tons, and two of 2-ton size) for my big house. After reading reviews and taking bids, I decided on Efficient AC for the job. Two of my units are fairly easy to access, but an upstairs unit could only be reached via a too-small attic scuttle, meaning that the hole had to be reconfigured, reframed, and new trim and a cover constructed. The finished work was perfect! Further, because the white carpeting in that area looked a little worse for wear, Efficient AC volunteered to have the carpet professionally cleaned at no charge to me. That, along with three spanking new, well-priced Carrier's within two days, is 5-star service, for sure. But wait, there's more! Besides having quoted me a nicely competitive price, without a single penny added for extras, Efficient AC took it upon themselves to make sure I met the requirements for a rebate program from my power company (PEC), ultimately benefitting me with a BONUS of $900. I have good cause to state that Efficient AC has earned my absolute trust --- ALL STARS!

Technician misdiagnosed the compressor as broken and unrepairable. I had to repeatedly decline purchasing a whole new system. The technician then replaced the capacitor with a "special" turbo 200x capacitor.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are against high-pressure sales, and what you are describing is not in line with the values we instill in our team. In the event that a customer is faced with a costly repair that may not be a good long-term investment, we may suggest a complimentary estimate to consider replacement options. This is a recommendation we make in good faith, and we never want a customer to feel otherwise. We apologize that you were disappointed in your service and thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us.

I called this company based on excellent reviews. The service call was for a rental property. The technician showed up on time however, he said nothing was wrong. Few weeks later, i got a bill for $189. I was told he has raised the AC. Tenant told me nothing was fixed. AC is still not cooling. I called the company and was told they have a limited staff. I waited a week and still no one calls me back. I can understand either nothing was wrong then a service call charge or explain to me why $189 but nothing was fixed. I dont understand the high rating. I was very disappointed.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed in your service experience with us. According to our records, our technician found that the compressor overheated and shut down due to a dirty condensing coil. He cooled the compressor down and rinsed the coil clean. This work was stated on both the work order and the invoice. After completing it, pressures were normal, and the unit seemed to be functioning properly. The technician was not able to reach you to explain his findings. We would have been happy to revisit the call if needed but were not aware your tenant was still having issues with the system. The only feedback our service manager received was that you were unhappy with the price. He attempted to reach both you and the tenant the week of 7/24. Please give us a call back at 512-375-4375. Thanks again.

Efficient gave me the best bid for a new A/C unit. Ernest did a great job explaining all of my options and answering my questions. On the day of the install, Randy and Ian worked very hard in the Texas heat replacing my A/C, and they were very polite and professional. About a week after the install, I had a few concerns about the performance of my new unit and called Efficient. They sent a technician out the very next day and, after adjusting the settings on the furnace, it has been working perfectly. I'm happy with my new A/C and with the customer service from Efficient.

We made an emergency call to Efficient on a Saturday and Dale arrived shortly afterwards. He was very thorough and correctly diagnosed that we had a problem with our tap to the city's line, explained everything very clearly, and gave us advice on how to get the city water dept involved in the video inspection and repair. Though it was a hot and mosquito-y day, Dale was pleasant and tidy and got us up and running when we really needed it. Excellent job!

Always one-time or would provide prompt updates. Schedule of install went according to plan. Initial meeting to discuss and quote solution was detailed and very well explained...and my many questions were answered competently and completely. The owner of the company came by towards the end of the installation to check on everything. The installer (Glenn) spent extra time and installed optional parts to make sure our expectations were met completely (and he was careful from the beginning to set what the expectations and goals would be). They cleaned up properly. They were not necessarily the cheapest, but costs were well in line with other quotes. Any small price differences in the estimates compared to others was easily justified in the competence, professionalism, and accuracy of the job. Would use them again for any other plumbing work.

Efficient AC's written bid included many details in their document which I appreciated having vs being just a top level summary. The bid was competitive with other businesses. It was convenient that Efficient could also do the electrical work. The crew was easy to work with on day of installation. They came on time and finished early. The work both inside and outside looks good. The unit operates well so far.
