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.

We purchased a 2 hour package for electrical work. He spent probably 30 minutes or so to fix the wall outlet that was just loose wires and said we could still use the 1.5 hours for them to come back any time to do other work. No return trip fee or anything. Very nice and courteous. Great job.

Ian was fabulous. Kept me informed as to his arrival time. We walked through the issues, and he set to work in a wonderfully methodical way...starting at the circuit breakers and working out toward the periphery. I was truly impressed. He found a couple of loose connections, replaced the plugs ($10) and all is a go. Although it was somewhat less than 2 hours, it is still a bargain!
Description of Work: Had a dead plug outside and 2 dead plus and a dead light switch in the garage.

I had a great experience with the Efficient crew that showed up. They arrived on time and quickly took care of a few items I was looking to get fixed. They were very quick, so I thought my 3 items may take the full 2 hours I bought on Angie's List but it really only took about 1-1.5 hours. I would re-hire them in a heartbeat, they were friendly and extremely knowledgable.
Description of Work: Replaced bad Arc breaker, hung a external light and repaired a broken outlet in the backyard.

The guys from Efficient Electric called to let us know they could come earlier than planned which was good news for us as we could better plan our day. They were respectful of our home, wiping their feet upon entering. They thoroughly checked all of the issues we were concerned with and made any needed changes without trying to sell us things we did not need.
Description of Work: We had questions about the electrical service in one of our bedrooms but also wanted our whole house checked for electrical issues. I called three companies to interview and had one other company come out. Efficient Electric was the only company that I felt comfortable doing business with because they conducted their business in a business-like manner. The employees of Efficient Electrical were exactly that, efficient, from booking the appointment up to signing the invoice after the work was completed. They actually tested ALL of the outlets, checked the breaker boxes, changed a light bulb, and explained things to us in a way we could understand. The men that came to our house represented the company well. They were professional, respectful, and thorough. The fact that we were able to get our concerns addressed with one of Angie's List's Deals for only $139.00, is amazing and was money well spent!

Efficient Air Conditioning and Electric did a fantastic job with our A/C repair. They were extremely courteous and prompt and even reminded us there was an Angie's List coupon for the service call fee. While no one likes home repairs and the cost, we can genuinely say we have a new A/C repair company we can count on!

He worked diligently to get the job done and was very conscientious in explaining our options. Work was completed within the allotted time and charge was accurate to proposal. All in all, a very positive experience. Will use in the future!

Ian Kidd was our service tech. He was very courteous and punctual. I explained the issue I was having with the exhaust fan and he was very informative on diagnosing the issue. It turned out to be a loose connection and he was able to diagnose it pretty quick. He also installed 2 ceiling fans. Ian explained all the left over parts from the ceiling fan box and he made the installation look easy. Price was fair and we would definitely use them again.

I was bummed that I was not able to use the previous electrician, Dave Boernman, that they sent out for one of my previous jobs. But, Efficient Air Conditioning & Electric sent out Ian and he was great too! Really appreciate their whole team. I'll need more electric work in the future, and I'll be contacting them again.

This was an after hours repair. The fee charged for the service call ($150) was reasonable considering that this was repaired on a Sunday. However, the charge for the run capacitor itself was not at all reasonable. After the fact I looked up the part on Amazon and could have purchased it for $25. I was charged $220 for the part + the $150 service call. The technician was professional and the work was done well, but I won't be using this company again due to the extreme mark up on the price of the run capacitor.

They were unable to recreate the issue, so didn't fix it. They told my husband to replace the outlet if it happened again. They went around the outside of the house and found and fixed another problem, for a $9.20 part, which was appreciated. When they left, we had the original problem again and again. Called them to come back since they had only been there for 10 minutes of the hour we paid for, but they refused, saying we paid for 1 service call. So my husband replaced the outlet. Efficient AC & Electrical did what they could on the visit. They were prompt, efficient, and friendly. I felt they should have come back to fix the original problem when asked, when they were in our neighborhood again, since we had only used 10 of 60 minutes paid for. I'm rating them a B overall and for price and quality for this reason - they did not fix the problem (they could have replaced the outlet anyway even though they didn't experience the problem) and wouldn't come back. I felt we paid too much for what the 10 minutes they were here. However, I would call them again and pay normal, non-Angie's list deal charges, for future work. They were very good.
Description of Work: We purchased a deal for 1 hour of electrical service for $139. We had a problem with an outdoor outlet constantly tripping the breaker. We had no idea what the problem was or how long it would take to fix. Efficient AC & Electrical came, spent no more than 10 minutes, tried to recreate the issue by putting multiple loads on the breaker and of course, it worked just fine - no problem. They told my husband what to do if it the breaker tripped again.
