Reliable Cooling for Dripping Springs Homes

Your family deserves a cool, comfortable home, even when Texas heat feels endless. When your air conditioner struggles, everything from sleep to productivity suffers. Austin Air Conditioning provides fast, professional cooling services throughout Dripping Springs, including repairs, maintenance, and new installations for every type of system.

Schedule Service

AC Repair

Air conditioners fail in predictable ways. Yours might quit cooling completely, blow warm air instead of cold, freeze up and shut down, or run endlessly without reaching temperature. Sometimes the unit won't start at all.

Each symptom points to specific component failures. Refrigerant escapes through corroded connections. Evaporator coils freeze when airflow gets restricted. Capacitors fail from heat exposure and age. Compressors seize after running low on refrigerant. Our certified technicians identify what actually failed and replace it with quality parts.

AC Repair

AC Installation

New air conditioning equipment requires understanding your home's actual cooling requirements, what different efficiency ratings mean for monthly costs, and which equipment delivers reliable performance in extreme Texas heat.

We measure your home's cooling load accurately before recommending equipment. Our HVAC installation process removes old equipment completely, installs new components according to specifications, connects refrigerant lines and electrical properly, and tests the system thoroughly under operating conditions before we leave.

AC Install

AC Maintenance

Scheduled service prevents failures before they happen. Low refrigerant gets topped off before it damages the compressor. Dirty coils get cleaned before they restrict airflow and freeze the system. Worn electrical contacts get replaced before they fail during the hottest week of summer.

Annual AC maintenance visits cover every component. We clean or replace filters, verify refrigerant pressures, inspect electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, confirm proper airflow, check ductwork connections, and run the system through complete cycles. You receive straightforward information about anything requiring attention.

AC Maintenance
Heat Pumps

Efficient Heating and Cooling Combined

Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating with a single system. They cool efficiently through long Texas summers and deliver reliable heat during occasional winter cold snaps. Newer homes often use heat pumps because they're energy efficient, eliminate the need for gas service, and perform well in Central Texas conditions.

We service and install heat pumps throughout the area. Whether your existing heat pump needs repair or you're considering converting to this system type, our licensed technicians handle the work properly.

Schedule Service

Heat Pump Repair

Heat pump failures can seem confusing. Your system might cool properly but refuse to heat, heat fine but not cool, or fail at both functions. Ice sometimes forms on outdoor units during hot weather. The equipment might run continuously without satisfying the thermostat.

These problems indicate specific component failures. Reversing valves stick in one position. Refrigerant charge drops below operating level. Defrost controls stop functioning. Electrical contactors fail under load. We test components systematically, determine what failed, and complete repairs the same day when we stock the necessary parts.

Heat Pump Repair

Heat Pump Installation

Converting to a heat pump replaces both your furnace and air conditioner with one system. Simpler equipment, single maintenance schedule, usually lower operating costs.

We calculate sizing requirements for both heating and cooling loads. Installation removes old equipment completely if you're converting from separate systems, charges refrigerant properly for year-round function, programs thermostats for efficient operation, and tests both heating and cooling modes thoroughly.

Heat Pump Install

Heat Pump Maintenance

Heat pumps operate year-round, accumulating far more runtime than systems used only during one season. Additional wear requires regular maintenance for reliable long-term performance.

We recommend service twice yearly. Spring preparation for cooling season, fall check for heating function. Each visit covers both operating modes: coil cleaning, refrigerant verification, reversing valve testing, electrical component inspection, defrost control checks, and performance confirmation in both heating and cooling.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Flexible Cooling for Additional Spaces

Ductless systems provide independent temperature control where your main HVAC system can't reach effectively. Converted garages, sunrooms, home offices, bonus rooms above garages, and detached workshops all benefit from dedicated heating and cooling.

We install and service ductless equipment throughout Dripping Springs. Single-zone systems for individual rooms. Multi-zone setups covering entire additions or separate structures.

Schedule Service

Ductless Repair

Ductless failures include indoor units that stop responding, water leaking from wall-mounted heads, systems running but not cooling effectively, and outdoor condensers that won't start.

We service all major ductless brands. Clogged drain lines, failed control boards, refrigerant leaks, compressor failures, and electrical problems usually get resolved in one service call with parts from our stocked trucks.

Mini-Split Repair

Ductless Installation

Ductless installation requires mounting indoor units for effective air distribution, running refrigerant lines to outdoor condensers, making electrical connections properly, and ensuring each indoor head drains correctly.

We design installations around your requirements. Which spaces need conditioning, best mounting locations for coverage, where to position outdoor units for efficiency and minimal noise. Complete installation includes testing all zones and explaining system operation.

Mini-Split Install

Ductless Maintenance

Ductless systems require regular service for reliable performance. Indoor filters accumulate dust. Drain lines develop clogs. Coils collect debris. Refrigerant levels drift gradually without obvious symptoms until cooling capacity drops noticeably.

Annual maintenance keeps ductless systems running properly. We clean filters and coils on every indoor head, flush drain lines before they clog and leak, verify refrigerant charge, test electrical connections, and inspect indoor and outdoor components. Regular service prevents most emergency repairs and maintains consistent comfort in independent zones.

Mini-Split Maintenance

Indoor Air Quality

HVAC systems circulate air constantly, but standard filtration doesn't capture fine particles, remove allergens effectively, or control humidity properly. Poor indoor air quality impacts allergies, respiratory function, and overall comfort.

Hill country properties face Central Texas cedar fever in winter, oak pollen in spring, and construction dust from ongoing development throughout the year. Whole-home air purifiers, advanced filtration systems, and dehumidification equipment integrate with existing heating and cooling to improve air quality in every room.

Cooling FAQs

My AC unit runs fine most days but struggles when it's over 105 degrees. Is that a problem?

Extreme heat stresses any air conditioning system, but sudden performance changes indicate something failed. If your system cooled effectively through previous summers and struggles now, check refrigerant charge, evaporator coil condition, or component wear. Our technicians test your system's actual capacity and determine whether it's performing normally for its age or if repairs would restore lost efficiency.

How often should I replace air filters in my Dripping Springs home?

Standard filters require replacement every 30-90 days based on usage, pets, and outdoor air quality. Homes with pets, during heavy pollen seasons, or near construction activity need more frequent changes. Clogged filters restrict airflow, reduce cooling capacity, and cause evaporator coils to freeze. We inspect filters during every service call and recommend filtration upgrades when you're changing them constantly.

Does it matter what brand of AC I choose for replacement?

Brand selection matters less than proper sizing, correct installation, and regular maintenance. We install and service all major brands: Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Daikin, and others. During service calls, we explain options at various price points and help you select equipment matching your budget and cooling requirements. Quality installation and ongoing maintenance affect long-term performance more than brand name.

What's the difference between AC repair and AC replacement, and how do I know which I need?

Repair makes sense when a single component failed and the remaining system is sound. Replacement becomes smarter when equipment exceeds 10-12 years old, requires expensive repairs like compressor replacement, or has needed multiple repairs recently. We assess HVAC systems honestly and provide clear information about both options so you can decide what makes financial sense for your situation.

Do you work on all types of AC systems?

Yes. We service gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and zoned systems. Our licensed technicians carry training and parts for any brand or model. If it cools your home, we repair it.
