Most Austin homeowners are quoted $8,000–$12,000 up front for a new furnace. Ours starts at $125 a month — 0% interest, and no payments for 18 months.
We size the system to your home, not to the box that's in it now. Load calculations, duct and airflow measurements, and a full system evaluation come first. You get three options in writing, with the reasoning and the financing behind each.
Uniformed technician, marked truck, shoe covers and drop cloths down before the first tool comes out. Daikin and Lennox equipment installed to manufacturer spec, with ductwork, drain and electrical corrected at the same time. Most installs finish in a single day.
An install is not finished when the unit turns on. We measure static pressure, airflow, refrigerant charge and temperature split, then hand you the readings with photos and video so you can see the system performing to spec.
Your warranty is registered for you the day we finish, labor coverage is in writing, and a manager calls after every job to confirm it was done right. If a number drifts, we come back and correct it.
Air Responders serves 40 cities within 50 miles of Austin, including Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, and New Braunfels. Most heating and cooling repairs handled same or next day.
The crew arrives in a marked vehicle and uniform, lays drop cloths along the work path and wears shoe covers indoors. The old system comes out and is hauled away, the new equipment goes in, the line set is evacuated and the charge is verified by weight.
Before we leave, we test airflow and temperature split and walk you through the thermostat. A manager calls afterward to confirm everything is right.
In most cases yes, and it's worth understanding why. The outdoor condenser and the indoor coil are engineered as a matched pair; putting a new high-efficiency condenser on an old mismatched coil means the system never reaches its rated efficiency and often struggles to hold a proper charge.
It can also affect warranty coverage. We check the match before quoting and tell you plainly whether a condenser-only change is genuinely viable on your system.
Cost depends on capacity, efficiency, staging and what your ductwork and electrical will support, which is why we evaluate the house before quoting rather than giving a number over the phone.
Every quote comes with three options showing equipment, warranty and monthly payment side by side. Financing starts at $125 a month, and 0% with no payments for 18 months is available on qualifying installations.
Efficiency pays back faster in Austin than almost anywhere, because the system runs eight months a year — so higher SEER2 is a more defensible spend here than in a mild climate.
That said, the returns flatten at the top of the range, and a mid-tier variable-speed system on good ductwork will often outperform a premium unit on bad ductwork. We show you the payback on each option against your own usage rather than pushing the top tier.
It comes from a load calculation on your specific house — insulation, window area and orientation, ceiling height, air leakage and duct capacity — not from square footage or from whatever tonnage was there before.
Bigger is not better. An oversized air conditioner cools the air quickly, shuts off before it has pulled the humidity out, and leaves the house feeling cold and clammy while short-cycling itself toward an early failure.
Most residential AC installations finish in one day — typically six to eight hours covering removal of the old system, installation, line set evacuation, charging and start-up testing.
Jobs that also involve duct replacement, a relocated air handler, electrical panel work or a switch to a heat pump can run into a second day. We tell you which one yours is at the estimate, so you can plan around it rather than find out on the morning.
