Emergency AC Repair in Austin, TX
We have technicians standing by 24/7/365 to take care of your emergency AC repair needs. No matter where in the greater Austin area you are or what type or brand of system you have, we can get you back up and running, usually with same-day repairs and always with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.*
Our repair rates are the same at 2am as they are at 2pm. The after-hours service call fee covers the technician's overtime. It never marks up the repair itself.
Simple, Fast Repair Process
- Request Service: Call us at 512-501-2275 (our phones are answered 24/7). We’ll have a technician en route as soon as possible.
- Evaluate & Repair: When the technician arrives, they’ll perform a thorough evaluation of your system to determine the root cause of the issue (not the quickest fix). We’ll recommend the solution we believe is in your long-term best interest. We’ll help you weigh your options in the context of your specific needs and budget. Our trucks are fully stocked, so we can usually perform the repair immediately after you approve it.
- Peace of Mind Warranty: We'll stand behind your emergency AC repair with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.*
*The one-year repair warranty covers the parts we install and the labor to install them on the repair performed. It does not cover unrelated failures elsewhere in the system, condensate drain clogs and stoppages, drain leaks, refrigerant leaks or maintenance related conditions, including drain problems that existed before our visit.

Why Choose Efficient for Emergency AC Repair?
When your AC fails at night or on a weekend, you're choosing a company fast and with less information than you'd like. Here's what you're getting.
- Our phones are answered 24/7/365 by our own people, not an answering service taking a message for the morning.
- Our repair rates are the same at 2am as they are at 2pm. The after-hours service call fee covers the technician's overtime. It never marks up the repair itself.
- Our trucks are fully stocked with common parts, so most repairs happen on the first visit rather than after a wait for parts.
- Everyone we send is a full-time employee, never a subcontractor, and has passed both background and drug screening.

- 100% locally owned and run in Austin since 1976, so we'll be here if you need us again.
- We stand behind the repair with a one-year warranty on parts and labor.*
Emergency AC Repair FAQs
Yes. We handle emergency AC repair for homes and for commercial properties including retail, warehouse and medical office spaces.
- Unit is not cooling/heating
- Water leaks/water damage
- Unit is smoking or showing signs of fire/electrical sparks
- New or significantly increased noises
- You have a concern about the safety of the equipment that is not listed above
- Check the breaker and reset if needed. If it trips immediately, do not reset it a second time. Wait for service.
- Check the condition of the filter and replace if necessary. Then, monitor the system’s performance for a couple of hours to see if it improves.
- If the thermostat display is off or on battery backup, check the indoor unit disconnect. It will look like a light switch near the indoor unit. It is common for pest control and other service people to inadvertently shut these off when shutting off attic lights.
- If there is a water leak or water damage, turn the system off.
- If you see any signs of ice or freezing on the equipment or copper lines attached to the equipment, turn the system off. If there is severe icing on the unit, it will have to thaw before it can be serviced. This can take several hours.
- Provide reasonable access to the indoor unit, especially if you use the areas leading up to the unit for storage (who doesn’t?).
- Secure pets if needed. We are pet lovers, and we really want yours to have a good experience.
