About us

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 was the most impressive of four Air Conditioning/HVAC companies I met with. Darwin was incredibly helpful and took the time to educate me about what all the different parts of the HVAC system are and how they work to keep our house cool and comfortable. Our old condensate drain line had been installed poorly when the house was built back in 1992 and the former owners caused further damage to it by using bleach, rather than vinegar to prevent build up of algae in the line. Efficient was the only company to provide multiple solutions to the problem for us to choose from (other companies either said there was nothing they could do or only offered one option) at no extra cost. The work was done well and we are incredibly happy with our new HVAC system. Ramon filed the rebates for us with Austin Energy and would have registered the products with Carrier for us, but I did it myself immediately after installation. Thanks to being an Angie's List customer we have 10 year labor warranty with Efficient and with the 10 year parts warranty with Carrier we are in a good place should anything break or need repaired on our system. We are so pleased with Efficient we have used them for electrical work around our house too.
Description of Work: Our 2004 HVAC system was dying a slow painful death and we were suffering with the house getting up to about 90 degrees in the afternoon for a couple of weeks. It was time to replace the HVAC system!

Excellent beginning to end. Jeff Schreiber called ahead and told me what time he would arrive & did so. He was very polite and explained what he was going to do and what kind of access he would need to do the job. He answered all questions I had thoroughly. Jeff found a problem and showed me what it was - it involved something that a previous owner had done that was not done by a professional and could cause a problem down the line. He did not pressure me to have him fix it, but I did ask him to do so. I was very impressed with his work and his polite, respectful and friendly manner. I was also very happy with my communications with Michelle who set up our appointment from the office.
Description of Work: I needed an inspection of the system & identification of any potential problems.

After 8 days I received an invoice from Efficient Air conditioning & Electric, their estimated quote AC unit will cost $1933. So we pay $99 for get a estimated quote that we cannot even close to compare with other companies. I am not sure I should trust Angie’s list anymore.
Description of Work: One of my AC units didn’t work, my friend said our breaker might need to replace. I checked angie’s list and found out lots of helpful reviews for efficient air conditioning & electric, so we purchased 2 hours electric labor for $199, cause some reviewer said they are good to fix AC unit. When I call their office, the lady was helpful, she recommended me to get $99 AC checkup and return the electric labor. Their technician showed up and talked to me via phone and trying to figure out the problem, but seems like he was not quite sure, he said he will leave an estimate quote for us or he can arrange someone if I want to replace the whole unit. I did not get the estimated quote when I come back home, so I called his office to find out if they are able to provide me the quote, the office admin said I need to pay $99, I said its ok, I will pay for, also I want to know the estimated, they said they will email to me. After 3 days without one AC unit, we decided to find some other company to fix our AC. They did an excellent job and charge me only $500.

Excellent results for requested services. Jeff arrived on time for a re-scheduled appointment. He was courteous, professional, and thorough in the conduct of his inspection and cleaning of this heat pump HVAC system. He explained his inspection findings clearly and offered suggestions for continued reliable performance of the HVAC system. I have used this company before and I will hire them again for any needed HVAC services.

Great experience from the scheduling to the work. Cody was awesome. I had paid for 2 hours of electrical work. He showed up on time. I had purchased the wrong type of fan for what I wanted in one room and Cody took the time to explain what I needed to achieve my goal. On the second ceiling fan, the issue was flickering lights. Cody checked it out and said that I'd be better off (and safer) to purchase a new fan as the existing one was old and the sockets were breaking down. I explained that I had only paid for 2 hours and would waste more of that going to get the right fans. He offered to consider this service call as a consultation and would reschedule the 2 hour window I had paid for. He came back a week later and installed both ceiling fans within the 2 hour window. He was efficient, professional, and personable. A great experience due to Cody! Will hire again!
Description of Work: Installed 2 new ceiling fans.

Cody was awesome. He came in determined he couldn't put an outlet where I originally wanted, but looked around and came up with alternative options for me. He was neat, organized, and worked quickly. He noticed that the outlet was near pipes, and warned me (I was going to mount the stick vac in that spot), so he likely saved me a lot of hassle. I'm thinking of getting a light fixture put into my bathroom next, and I will easily reuse this vendor again.
Description of Work: I wanted an outlet put into my pantry for my wine fridge and stick vacuum.

Efficient A/C and Electric provided our family with outstanding repair and service. One of their HVAC Techs, Mr. Ernest Rodriguez, provided the best customer service I have seen in Round Rock. Mr. Rodriguez was very polite and professional, taking the time to explain what our issues were and how they could be repaired. He did so in a timely manner and Efficient A/C and Electric had excellent rates for the service provided. I recommend this company to any family and be sure to ask for Mr. Ernest Rodriguez.

Every contact with an employee of Efficient was outstanding. They were on time, knowledgeable, professional and cared about my issue. From the in home sales meeting, to the installation (including another person who came to check their work!), to registering my products and following up to see if I was happy - they exceeded every expectation.
Description of Work: I needed a new air conditioner. Because of the age of my system, Efficient advised me to also replace the furnace. With their exceptional warranty (10 years), competitive pricing and Carrier rebates, it made sense. I now have a variable speed furnace, an a/c system that I can tell it what humidity level I want and LOWER electric bills.

I called Efficient A/C in the morning. They were able to send a technician straight away. They identified the refrigerant leak was in the coils. Coils from my OEM were no longer available, they hustled to find another set that would work. They were professional, took extra care not to track in dirt, installed the new coils, hauled off the old coils and left everything nice and neat. I had cold A/C that very evening. Great job.
