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.

They’re great! They always come in and do a good analysis of the problem and leave everything. We’re on a contract with them where they come twice a year at a good rate, which also takes off the charge for showing up. Their price is fair compared to the competition, they’re very polite and easy to talk to, and so they’re our company of choice now! I’m always impressed at how they give us advice and instruction on how to best maintain our unit (and home).
Description of Work: They came out to troubleshoot a drainage problem in our air condition unit.

They did a good job for us! He actually unclogged one drain. This was the first time I’ve used them and I’d use them again. I’d recommend them because the price was decent and we’ve had no issues with the unit since.

Thank you for doing such a wonderful and thorough inspection and service of my 12 year old AC system this morning. Your technician -- Mardi -- was extremely knowledgeable, prompt, friendly, and made a number of needed repairs in a timely and accurate fashion. If all your technicians are as customer-service-oriented and knowledgeable as she, then I believe I'll be calling you back for future service, repairs and upgrades. Thanks again for your wonderful service.

It went very well! We’d use them again and recommend them to others. I was really impressed because they explained that some of the things I thought I needed in the bid, I actually didn’t need. It might not have been the cheapest, but I was very impressed with their follow up and responsibility. They were spot on with the amount of time they said it would be, cleaned up good, and were great with my schedule (and even my dogs).
Description of Work: We had them install a whole new furnace over the course of 3 days.

They were awesome! Excellent! They did a few different tests and it looked like we didn?t actually have a leak. I got worried again after he left, and they came back out promptly. I?ll definitely be using them again in the future, and recommend them to anyone. I really appreciate his honesty because he had the opportunity to do a repair, even though it wasn?t needed.

I love them! They?ve been great to work with! They?ve very responsive and get here very quickly. I?ve had them do some substantial work for us. They replaced our circuit (at no charge) and they?re very good at helping us get rebates and sales from various companies. They?re not the cheapest but it?s worth it.

It was a good experience! I didn’t realize that it was $69 per unit, so I ended up getting two more deals. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. I’ve had no issues with the unit since they did the work. I was really impressed with the woman they sent out because she explained everything as she worked. She was very professional!

Came back from a trip and found the house freezing and AC not working. Called Efficient , they promptly showed up in about 30 minutes. Adam meticulously inspected the unit and quickly diagnosed that the temperature switch had shut off automatically due to clogged filters. I was worried about expensive repair bill as the AC had been running but the unit was not heating the ground floor. Instead, I got a gentle reminder to change the filter regularly from Adam. He reset the switch and stayed around making sure that the AC was heating the house.He is very sharp, thorough and extremely professional. I rate them five stars for their service.

They did a great job. They were pretty straightforward and honest. I had a blown out circuit and the guy told me that I just have to replace one piece. I had some other random companies that I called and they were trying to get me to replace the whole air conditioner. He was pretty honest about what I needed to get fixed and how much longer I have before I had to actually buy a new A/C.

Marty is one of the most amazing tech I have ever had seen. She not only knows her heating/cooling systems inside and out but explains every detail of the system to a non-techie with the greatest of clarity. Marty arrived as scheduled and thoroughly inspected the attic system as well as the outdoor unit. She explained what parts were in need of replacement, which areas needed cleaning and even identified an unused electric heater coil and why it was not in service and how to get it back in operation. She also saw to the flushing of the condensation line. She provided sound advice for future up keep and suggestions of what to look for in the future as possible issues. If all service techs could be this responsible we the consumer would never have another complaint. I will certainly be using Efficient Air for all my future needs.

Replaced my electrical panel outside and upgraded to a larger 200 amp panel. |They also installed new electrical service to my house. The old service was attached to house with a screw and was almost ready to pull out. They replaced this with a pipe attached to the meter with it running through a hole in my roof(much better setup). They also hooked up my ground rods to the panel. All of this replaced my original 57 year old electrical service which had been added on through the years. I feel my house is ready for the next 50+ years or until my house is demolished to make way for light rail, whichever comes first.

Bill Santiago promptly contacted me to schedule his evaluation and was clear about what needed to be done. I agreed to upgrade to 200 amp, and he explained the cost. He was flexible about when the service was to be scheduled and very responsive to my calls and questions. I plan to use his company for my next electrical job.

Adam arrived before our gas had been turned on, which left him unable to check the furnace and heating system. He came back after it was turned on later that afternoon and was incredibly gracious and affable about the entire situation. I never felt that we inconvenienced him, despite knowing that it was an imposition. I highly recommend this company and will be utilizing them again!

This company charges $50 for estimates, and then tries to hook you by claiming, o gee, by the way, if you use our service, we give you a $75 credit (which is really just a $25 credit). So, if they are over charging you to begin with the $25 doesn't mean squat. Companies like this try to hook you with the $75 off. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. Any legitimate company provides free estimates.
