Shady Hollow’s HVAC work comes down to two things: aging ductwork in hot attics and humidity that never quite lets up. Halden Heating & Air handles AC repair, AC installation, and furnace repair for the 1970s-to-1990s single-family homes that fill this part of Travis County. Our crews know these slab-foundation houses and low-pitch roofs well enough to spot a failing evaporator coil before it turns into a ceiling leak. You get a written price before any work starts, and a live person answers the phone 24/7 at (361) 202-9170.
Why Shady Hollow Homes Are Different
Most of Shady Hollow’s housing stock was built between the 1970s and 1990s, which means slab foundations, low-pitch roofs, and ductwork routed through unconditioned attics. That attic placement is the root of more service calls here than anywhere else in the Austin metro: summer attic temperatures regularly climb past 130°F, pushing heat straight into supply ducts and forcing compressors to run longer than they were designed to. The result is accelerated duct leakage, higher cooling loads, and compressors that give out years before they should.
Humidity is the second front. Central Texas summers bring heavy afternoon thunderstorms, and that moisture finds its way into attic air handlers. In Shady Hollow specifically, we routinely find rusted drain pans and clogged primary drains caused by high humidity and occasional pest intrusion. What homeowners see is a water stain on the ceiling and assume they need a roofer. More often than not, it’s the AC condensate line, and the fix is a drain inspection or a condensate pump replacement rather than a roof repair.
If your home has an attic-installed air handler from the original build, plan for two things: a condensate line that needs regular clearing and sealed ductwork that can actually hold the cold air you pay for. Both are jobs our technicians do in Shady Hollow on a regular basis.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Shady Hollow Services
Shady Hollow homeowners call us most for AC repair and AC installation during the long cooling season, with furnace repair picking up in the brief but real winter months. Each service has its own Shady Hollow page with the full pricing breakdown and what to expect.
AC Repair in Shady Hollow
When a Shady Hollow AC stops cooling in July, the problem is usually one of three things: a failed capacitor, low refrigerant, or a clogged condensate line from the humidity we described above. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause, show you the written price, and fix it on the spot with parts stocked in the truck. You can track the tech’s live arrival time, so there’s no waiting around through a four-hour window. Most repairs fall between $150 and $650 depending on the part, and every repair carries a written guarantee. AC Repair in Shady Hollow
AC Installation in Shady Hollow
A full AC installation in Shady Hollow means more than swapping the outdoor unit. With ductwork in unconditioned attics, we check for leakage, undersized returns, and airflow problems before the new equipment goes in. Every install gets a load calculation so you’re not paying for an oversized unit that short cycles or an undersized one that can’t keep up on a 105°F afternoon. Installation pricing runs $3,500 to $7,500 depending on system size and efficiency. The price is written and locked before any work starts. AC Installation in Shady Hollow
Furnace Repair in Shady Hollow
Shady Hollow winters are short, but when a furnace quits on a 30°F January night, it’s urgent. Our technicians work on gas and electric furnaces, checking ignitors, flame sensors, blower motors, and heat exchangers. Because many of these systems sit in unconditioned attics, we also inspect for rust and moisture damage that can go unnoticed for years. Furnace repairs in Shady Hollow typically run $150 to $700, and the written guarantee applies to every job. Furnace Repair in Shady Hollow

AfterPricing for HVAC Company in Shady Hollow, TX
| Service | Typical range in Shady Hollow |
|---|---|
| AC repair | $150 – $650 |
| Furnace repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC installation (full system) | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a Shady Hollow job toward the top of these ranges is usually duct access: low-pitch roofs make attic work slower, and older homes sometimes need duct sealing or plenum repairs before a new system can run efficiently. Whatever the final number, you’ll see it in writing before we start, and that price does not change at the door.
