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.

Many times, when a provider comes on a promotional deal, they "find" lots of other things wrong. Not this time. The work was performed for the price paid. Great service.
Description of Work: I purchased the "Big Deal" from Angie's list for an AC tune-up by Efficient Air Conditioning Inc. The service was easily scheduled, and the work was done promptly. I will definitely call the company again.

I am a mechanical engineer and asked a lot of questions about my system ? Marty and the other guy (can?t remember his name) knew their stuff? they did a great job. They also evaluated my system and confirmed my suspicions that the system was originally installed incorrectly by home builder - they gave me a fair price quote to correct the system. i will be calling them back out again for my next job

He was very nice and friendly. Did not find a problem with the AC,which was good. He came in the house and gave me some suggestions on what to do the celing vents. . I expected at least to clean the outside AC unit coils. All he needed to do was turn the water on and spray the area. I think this is very basic on checking out AC. Since he did not do that, I wonder about the other stuff.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback. We apologize that you were not completely satisfied with your service experience. We strive to exceed every customer's expectations and would be more than happy to come back out free of charge and make sure the coils are thoroughly cleaned and the unit was fully inspected. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to do so. Please give us a call and let us know when would be convenient for you.

Darwin came out to give me an estimate for a complete install. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I didn't feel like he was trying to sell me on anything i didn't want, just what i needed. I scheduled the install two days later and the guys arrived on time and very efficiently replaced both the outside and inside units in my condo. They were out of there in about four hours. They were clean courteous and did a great job. I was very pleased and highly recommend Efficient Air Conditioning.

This company by far stood by there name EFFICIENT! Not only were they efficient, but also very informative and kind. You could tell they really care about their customers and helping them understand every aspect of their system and what needs to be done. Not only did Ernest explain in detail the system and the issues, but he took a videos on his phone of they system in the attic and went over it step by step making it easy for me (a housewife) to understand everything. In the end I felt like I was getting a great deal and was well aware of an AC problem we had been having for a while and because of this was able to make a well informed decision to proceed forward with a truly great company. After this service was provided I requested Darwin, a specialist to come out for a free full estimate on a rework on our upstairs system. I was easily able to make an appt. for 2 days later. He was prompt, informative and kind, giving us what I know is a great deal. I have never been quite so pleased with a repair company.
Description of Work: Added coolant and did a tune up of my AC system, checked out any and all concerns I had about our AC.

I could not recommend any firm any higher than Efficient Air Conditioning. From the initial contact from Michelle who was exceptionally professional, cordial and efficient to the sevice manager, Dustin, and to last but not least, Adam, my technician, this was an outstanding experience. Adam was extremely thorough in inspecting the attic units, the outside condensers and the filter return system. All operating pressures, temperatures and contractors were checked and explained to me. As it turned out, my units were operating great and did not require any repairs or additional coolant. As an everyday consumer, you so often see investigative reporters showcasing shady repair types and have great fear of finding a professional firm......well through Angie's List, I found a super one!!! I would trust Adam and Efficient Air Conditioning with a blank check. They are awesome.
Description of Work: I secured service from an advertised check-up special found on Angies List. The special was to complete a check- up on both of my a/c units.

The tech called before arriving, with an estimate of arrival time. He was 5 min. early. We both agreed on what his job was. He performed his work more complete than I expected and experienced in previous work by other companies and explained the readings he was finding and why some were a little low and whether there was any urgency in correcting them. He showed me and explained how he could detect that the cooling coils were quite dirty. He complimented me on my obvious preventative maintenance like changing the filter often and treating the water pan with Clorox monthly to prevent mold build up in the drain. He also said that there was adequate ventilation space around the condenser and the cooling fins were pretty clean and not bent up. I will definitely use this company again and recommend them in the future.

Unit stopped cooling during the night of August 12/13th. Purchased the $77 21-point tune-up and inspection on Angie's list and then called Efficient Air Conditioning and explained that I was a first time customer whose air conditioner was not cooling. In response to my inquiry, the young lady told me that they could service my unit within a few hours. Ernest and Mardi called in advance and then arrived as agreed. They were very professional, explained everything, and answered all my questions. They soon had the unit cooling again and then were careful to spend several minutes (much of it in a very hot attic) making certain everything was as it should be. Definitely would use them again; would like to have the same technicians.
Description of Work: 21 point tune-up and inspection as well as replacing the capacitor.

It went great. They arrived when they were supposed to, early actually. I ask a lot of questions and watched what he was doing which he was ok with it. I talked to him afterward and was very gracious and he actually did more than that 21 point inspection. Over all it went very well. I actually referred him to someone else as well

Ernest arrived a little early after calling to say he was ahead of schedule. He was neat, nice, and professional. He checked both parts of the AC unit -- inside and outside and explained everything he was doing and what he was looking for. He answered all of my questions. Luckily, my unit is in good shape, save for a capacitor that needed replacement. He had a part of the truck, so instead of having to do another service call, he was able to do the work now. Great customer service! Good warranties on parts and labor! He even listened to me prattle on about my chickens. I will definitely use Efficient AC again, should the need arise.
