Halden Heating & Air is an HVAC company in Austin, TX, built for homeowners who want a written price before any tool leaves the truck. Austin’s housing stock runs from 1920s bungalows in Hyde Park to 2000s tract homes in Circle C, and the cooling load on a 1970s rancher with original flex duct is nothing like the load on a new high-efficiency build. That’s why we send background-checked, uniformed technicians with a live arrival time you can track to your door, not a four-hour window. Call (361) 202-9170 any hour and a real person answers.
Why Austin Homes Are Different
When we roll up to a home in Brentwood or Windsor Park, the first thing we look at is the ductwork and the attic. Austin’s long, brutal summers with 100+ degree days and high humidity create extreme cooling demand from April through October. Homes built in the 1970s and 80s often have original single-pane windows, minimal insulation, and flex duct systems baking in hot attics. That combination drives up the cooling load and leads to duct leakage that sends paid-for cold air into the attic instead of the living room.
Spring and fall bring rapid temperature swings that stress thermostats and zoning controls. A system sized for a July afternoon has to work very differently on an October morning that starts at 52 and hits 88 by 3 p.m. We’ve also seen what Austin’s freeze events do to vulnerable heat pump and electric strip heat systems – the 2021 storm exposed a lot of Austin homes that were never set up for sustained cold.
In older East Austin neighborhoods, many homes still run original 1960s gas furnaces with asbestos-wrapped ducts. Retrofitting those systems to modern efficiency codes requires careful abatement and real load calculations, not a guess based on square footage alone. Austin’s explosive growth means new high-efficiency builds sit next to 1950s ranchers with undersized ducts. The work changes block by block.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Austin Services
Austin homeowners call us most about two things: an AC that quit during a heat wave and a furnace that won’t fire when a February front blows through. Each service has its own Austin page with full pricing and details.
AC Repair in Austin
When your condenser is struggling on a 102-degree afternoon in Mueller or Allandale, you need a technician who can diagnose the issue fast and hand you a written price before any work starts. We carry parts for Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem, and our Austin AC repair calls are backed by a written guarantee on every repair. If a repair fails within the coverage window, we come back at no charge. That’s automatic, not something you have to ask for. See AC Repair in Austin for full pricing and what to expect.
AC Installation in Austin
A new AC system in Austin has to be sized for our summers, and that means a real load calculation, not a square-footage shortcut. Homes in the 1970s to 1990s often need duct sealing or replacement alongside the new equipment, especially when flex duct has been cooking in an attic for 30 years. We give you a fixed written price before installation day, schedule a set install date, and handle rebate and financing paperwork. Book online, get a live arrival time, and track your tech to the door. See AC Installation in Austin for the details.
Furnace Repair in Austin
Austin winters are short, but when a cold front drops the temperature into the 20s, a dead furnace goes from annoyance to urgent. In East Austin’s older homes, gas furnaces from the 1960s can carry asbestos-wrapped ducts, so any repair near those duct runs requires careful handling. We diagnose first, explain the problem in plain English, and put the price in writing before we touch anything. Every furnace repair includes the same written guarantee and free second visit if the repair fails. See Furnace Repair in Austin for the full breakdown.

AfterPricing for HVAC Company in Austin, TX
Here are the price ranges Austin homeowners should expect for the services on this page. These are upfront, written prices – not door-step estimates that change after the tech looks around.
| Service | Typical range in Austin |
|---|---|
| AC Repair | $150 – $650 |
| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC Installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-Up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes an Austin repair toward the higher end is usually the age and condition of the system. A 1980s condenser with a leaking evaporator coil and a rusted drain pan is a different job than a 2018 unit that just needs a capacitor. Whatever the diagnosis, you’ll see the price in writing before we start, and every repair includes a written guarantee with a free second visit if the fix doesn’t hold.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Austin

FAQs About HVAC Company in Austin
Most Austin calls are scheduled same-day, and our technicians arrive with a live arrival time you can track to your door. On days when the whole city’s AC is down at once, we’re still answering calls live 24/7 and giving honest time frames. Call (361) 202-9170 to hear the current response time for your neighborhood.
For installations, yes. Austin requires permits for new HVAC equipment and many retrofits. We handle the paperwork as part of the installation process and make sure the work meets city code before we call it done. Repairs typically don’t require a permit.
Many Austin neighborhoods have HOA restrictions on where outdoor units can sit and how they can look. We’re familiar with those rules and can route condenser placement and equipment selection around them so your HOA doesn’t flag the install. Tell us your neighborhood when you call and we’ll come ready.
