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.

Ian arrived on time and asked about my issues, he quickly checked the outlets and the circuit breakers. Provided me with several options and after choosing my options he went to work. He did warn me that there was a possibility of the work going over which I was okay with, considering what he had to do I was expecting it. Luckily he completed it all right on time, with a few minutes to spare!! He explained to me how circuit breakers burn up and and how fire is started and the main panel. My house has aluminum wiring so he added some chemical to the lines so that they would not separate, when reconnecting the wires to the CFI he made sure they were in tight. He tested each circuit breaker in the electrical panel to ensure the wires were nice and tight, which he didn't have to do, found some that were lose, for that I am thankful. Ian also answered my questions and I am sure I was a pest but he didn't show it, very nice to talk to and very, very professional. He knows his business well.
Description of Work: He checked my electrical outlets and most importantly my circuit breakers. He replaced two circuit breakers and updated my electrical outlets in the kitchen to code by replacing them with GFCI receptacles.

Poor response times, then refused to refund a coupon I bought, after I was forced to hire a competitor. they also argued with me on the phone that they weren't being responsive, which added to the poor customer service experience.
Description of Work: I purchased a $40 coupon for a 30 minute diagnostic check at 12pm on Thursday 9/10/2015. The response I received online after the payment was that I would receive a call by the following Monday. My AC unit was out and I needed a service call ASAP, so I called them at 8am on 9/11/2015. An answering service answered, instead of the business. I asked the answering service what time the business opened, and they told me 7am, so it was a mystery to me as to why the answering service was picking up instead of the business, one full hour after the business opened. The answering service was unable to set an appointment, so I asked for a simple call back from the business. But, the answering service didn't want to relay that simple message - they had a script of several questions to go through first (what's your address, are you a PM member, describe the issue you're having, etc). Another hour passed - no call from Efficient. So, I jumped back on Angie's List, called a competitor business, and had a morning appt scheduled within 5 min. Efficient then decided to call at that time, to set an appt, but I had to decline. I requested a refund of the $40 coupon, since they were so unresponsive, but they declined a refund.

the deck lights plug had recently begun to get hot to the touch after being plugged into the 27-year old outdoor socket. I thought it necessary to change out the socket for safety. This was done, but the deck light plug still gets hot, so it must be the lights themselves.

The whole experience was great. Efficient reached out to me for scheduling, called that morning to confirm the arrival time, arrived on time, and were very professional throughout.
Description of Work: We had five small-ish electrical projects in our own version of "This Old House." We bought two hours of electrician's time from an Angie's List deal, thinking that we might get two projects done in that time. In fact, Ian worked really fast, had great ideas about how to do things, and was able to get through all five projects with time to spare. Well done!

The hanging of the large chandelier in the bathroom was a real challenge due to its size and weight. Nonetheless, with some persistence and special solutions we were successful and it looks great. Everything else went very smoothly. The electrician was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Fantastic! Jeff S. was very professional, punctual, down to earth, knowledgeable and got my a/c to start blowing cold air again! He answered all of my questions was very trustworthy. I will absolutely use this company for any future a/c needs. Also, the receptionist, and dispatcher Michele and Kate, made sure I received the fastest service possible. I really appreciate it - 100+ degree and no a/c is a nightmare. I also used the $39 dollar Angie's List coupon they offered for 30 min visit and diagnostic. thank y'all so much! A+

Excellent work by both David and Colton. Will specifically ask for them the next time I need work. It is obvious that the company cares about the quality of work done. Thank you for what you do and how you do it.
Description of Work: I had another electric company hang a new ceiling fan about a month ago. It was a Hunter and suppose to be "quiet" which it wasn't. I called Hunter and they suggested that I put in "direct wiring" since it was on a 3 way wall switch. David did this work but in working with the fan, discovered there wasn't a box in the ceiling and the other company had simply secured it with 3" screws. He explained this was a violation of code and corrected the problem, putting in a box. I've used this company before with David doing the work. I should have used them again to hand the fan initially but won't make that mistake again. His assistant, Colton was also professional, personable and efficient. Together, they completed the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after themselves before leaving. Will only use this company going forward.

I am amending my review to reflect updates to this situation. Previously, we hired Efficient Air to conduct a diagnostic on our AC systems prior to purchasing the home. In short, we were disappointed in the service because the technician did not diagnose everything that the home inspector had noted as deficient, leaving us confused as to whether the issues were minor or just overlooked. We ended up using Efficient Air to complete the diagnosed repairs (new ductwork, safety switches, blowing out drain line, and installing rigid gas pipe). They finished up yesterday and the system seems to be working good. The technician, Tony, was professional and a hard-worker. He remembered me from the diagnostic and was genuinely happy that we were able to purchase the home. Although I already planned to update this review, I received a call from Efficient Air offering to resolve the initial complaint. This further solidified my decision to amend the review. I think it says a lot about a company that takes the time to reach out and attempt to resolve any concerns with their customers. While my initial review was pretty negative, I must admit that Efficient Air has remedied the situation and alleviated my concerns. Hopefully we won't have any need for an AC company anytime soon but, if we do, I would not hesitate to call Efficient Air. Thanks for following up and offering to resolve the situation. It's appreciated.
Description of Work: 2x One hour diagnostic on AC system with recommendations and pricing on repairs. New ductwork blow out of drain line installed rigid gas pipe installed safety switches

I called the main office to setup a service call and was told that service would be available in a couple of hours. Sure enough, Matt -- the technician that came out -- called prior to his arrival and was on point with his ETA. He was very cordial, professional, and courteous. I was also very please that he took the time to answer any questions we had and to explain the problem, the repair part, and all applicable warranties. I will use these guys for now on.

s out)I was really impressed by the original repairman who suggested it was time to replace the system and explained the problem well. Then, again, by the salesman who examined the old system, asked well chosen questions, and suggested the ducting rework that has improved our comfort in several rooms. The two installers arrived on time and spent over a 10-hour day in the hot attic (102 degrees out) to get us on line before night. They explained the system very well and left our house and yard immaculate. This will be my go-to company in the future..

The entire staff at Efficient Air is very helpful and professional. Our AC unit went out and Tony checked it out. Tony showed up on time and did a thorough job inspecting the unit. He had us up and running, but a few days later the unit quit again. After another visit Tony determined that replacement was the best option. I had been experiencing issues with this unit for years, so it was not an unexpected diagnosis. Darwin came out later to complete a survey and recommend some options. He showed up on time and was very professional. He provided multiple replacement options discussed available, no-interest financing. We made our decision and scheduled the appointment. The replacement team showed up on time and worked quickly. They spent about half a day replacing the unit and sealing the ducts to the plenum. They did a great job cleaning up the work site. However, here is where I had to lower my rating. About an hour after they left, we noted that the unit was repeatedly turning on then immediately turning off. Out comes Tony again. It was determined that the installers had overcharged the system and the unit was shutting itself off to prevent damage. He fixed this and we have been running trouble free now for several weeks. The house has never been cooler, and it does seem as though my electric bill is lower. One more thing. When we failed to qualify for the utility rebate due to a misunderstanding of the requirements, Darwin and Efficient Air made it right.. The entire process was very good. I think it took only about one week from diagnosis to replacement. I think we could have completed it quicker but for working around my schedule. I found the staff to be very responsive, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend them and I will definitely continue to do business with them.
