What Is Killing Your AC in Austin

South Texas summers are not subtle, and Austin runs its systems hard. When one quits, it is almost always one of these.

Failed Run Capacitor

The most common single-point AC failure we see. A part the size of a soup can that dies in heat - usually the hottest week of the year, when the attic is 130 degrees and the system has run flat out for days. We carry capacitors in three ratings, so the repair takes under an hour and the house is cool before dinner.

Refrigerant Leak

If your AC slowly lost its cool over weeks, you have a leak. We do not just recharge it and leave - recharging a leaking system is a subscription, not a repair. We locate the leak, quote the fix, and recharge once it is sealed. It is usually the evaporator coil.

Failed Contactor

The contactor is the electrical switch that starts the compressor. When it burns out, the outdoor unit sits dead while the air handler pushes warm air. Parts on the truck, usually under two hours - and being licensed for electrical too, we check the whole start circuit while we are in there.

Clogged Drain or Dirty Coil

A clogged condensate drain trips a safety float and shuts the system off - it looks dead but it is protecting itself. A dirty coil makes the system work twice as hard for half the cooling. Both are same-day fixes.

Why Austin Homes in Particular

The established neighborhoods carry decades of patched-in wiring, undersized panels, and the occasional cloth-wrapped or aluminum branch circuit. Add the modern Austin load - chargers, mini-splits, a home office - and it asks more than the old service can give. We modernize it safely and bring it to NEC 2023 code.

AC Repair in Austin - Questions

The service call is a flat $79, in writing, and waived when you book the repair. From there everything is flat-rate and approved before we start - a capacitor runs $150 to $350, a contactor $175 to $375. No hourly surprises and no travel surcharge for Austin.
Most of the time, yes - especially if you call before noon. We carry the common failures on the truck, so the majority of Austin repairs finish on the first visit instead of waiting on a part.
Usually a weak capacitor, a refrigerant leak, or a dirty coil making the system work twice as hard. We diagnose it flat-rate and show you the actual reading, not a guess.
Not without finding the leak. Recharging a leaking system is billing you for a problem, not fixing it. We locate and quote the leak repair first - it is almost always the evaporator coil.

A storm outage knocked out the thermostat at Bethany's San Antonio home and the system started freezing up. Moorhead Service Company technician Joseph Munera got everything diagnosed and working again - all while Bethany's kids watched and learned, with Joseph patiently showing them the safe way to check a system. Amazing service with a little HVAC lesson thrown in for free.

★★★★★

Our Thermostat went out after a storm outage. Called two brothers and Joseph came out and did an amazing job. Our kids were right next to him and he never got mad, upset or annoyed, he showed them safety and how to diagnose and what to do. He was great and the service was awesome! Would definitely...

“We are in South Austin and tired of chains that never call back. Moorhead drove up from Seguin, gave us an honest window, and fixed our panel right. Worth it for people who actually do what they say.”

Nathan R.

“Older home near Slaughter with scary wiring. They modernized it, pulled the permit, explained everything. Straight shooters, no upsell.”

Priya S.

“Hot upstairs for years. They measured the load and fixed the airflow for way less than the new-system quote a big company gave us. Honest folks.”
