Best Practices to prevent unnecessary AC repairs
There are a few DIY things you can do to prevent an unwanted AC repair and get more years out of your AC system.
- One of the simplest things you can do is to change your filters on a routine basis. Most people don’t know that a dirty filter isn’t just a dirty filter, it is keeping your air conditioner from working right. This can put a bit of load on your AC system because it’s trying really hard to get the air needed to cool and heat your home. This can lead to an unnecessary AC repair or worse take many years out its expected service life. I would recommend changing your filter every other month and if you have pets 1 to 2 times a month. This will help to prevent an unwanted AC repair.
- The next best way to prevent an AC repair is to keep your outdoor AC unit clean. The way an air conditioner works is like a big radiator. If the fines aren’t exposed to the outdoor air it can’t properly radiate the heat. Now the AC system has to work overtime to keep up. The longer run times can lead to parts and pieces breaking on your air conditioner leading to an AC repair. A simple way to fix this is by spraying down your outdoor AC unit with a water hose. It is also best to keep all vegetation cleared from your AC unit. The is a great way to prevent an AC repair.
- Lastly, if your air conditioner is over 7 years old, I would recommend having your AC guy do a tune-up before the summer starts. There are hard to get components that can be cleaned and replaced before the summer heat hits. This can save you a lot of time and money in the long run. If your AC system is younger than 7 years old and you have been properly changing the filter and keeping the AC unit clean you really don’t need to spend the extra money on have your AC guy look over your system every year. Overall doing an annual tune-up is going to help prevent an unwanted AC repair.

Most AC companies in Austin make their money through upselling. What this leads to is many technetium now have to look for something to sell you even if it’s a quick inexpensive fix. This business model has created a lot of distrust in the air conditioning industry. How we do things differently is we do not allow our tech to sell anything to our customer. A matter of fact, do don’t allow any form of selling in our company. We believe in educating our customers on the problem the is accruing, all the AC repair options, and let the customer decide what is best for them and their family. This allow our technicians to do to their job at the highest level of quality because it not about selling anything, its about helping our customers.

- We are not only an AC repair company, we offer a huge range of air conditioning services along with AC replacements in Austin. Finding a company that is going to a quality AC replacement for a reasonable price can be a challenge. We offer the most competitive pricing in Austin for a new AC replacement without sacrificing quality. We are on average $2,000 cheaper that our closest HVAC competitor. The way we do this is by keeping everything simple and having a fine tuned system with no waist. We pass this savings to our customer to drive down the cost of an AC replacement.
- Another technique we use to keep our costs low is by leveraging our buying power. We primarily use Carrier as our flagship air conditioner manufacture. We do so much volume through Carrier we get the best pricing that we pass down to our customers. We are able to give you the best pricing for any Carrier AC replacement in Austin. We also do a lot of AC replacements with other brands but our pricing is not as competitive because we simply don’t have the buying power.

License and insured HVAC company
There are many AC companies that do not take being licensed and insured very seriously. There is a good reason HVAC is a licensed trade. There is a lot of electrical involved in diagnosing and repairing an air conditioner. If not handled correctly it could become a safety concern for the homeowner and their family. But the big reason is carbon monoxide poisoning that can be caused by a bad AC repair on a gas furnace. When it comes to gas furnaces there is not a lot of room for error, the repairs and making sure it is to city code is critical. There are some AC companies in Austin that try to take a shortcut by not going through the process of becoming licensed in Texas. This only ends up hurting the homeowner.
Atlas AC Repair is licensed for both residential and commercial AC repairs and replacements up to 25-ton air conditioning and heating systems. We also carrier millions of dollars in G&L insurance along with workers comp. You might think that this is overkill but in reality, it is the best way to protect you if something happens.

What we have set out to fix
There is a problem with the air conditioning industry that many people don’t know that it even exists. The big issue is the fact that air conditioning is a seasonal business. What this means is there is a lot of work in the summer but very little work in the winter. This leads to staffing problems, price gouging, and poor marketing practices.
- The reason there is such a big staffing problem is that there is too much work in the summer but no work in the winter. How is an AC company going to staff up in the summer and then pay their employees in the winter? The way a lot of AC companies fix this problem is by paying their technicians commissions instead of hourly or a salary. When there is a lot of work the techs get paid well and when there is no work nothing gets paid out to the techs. You can kinda see where this is going. Commissions work well for the employer because it drives sells but doesn’t work out that well for the homeowner. The reason this is bad for the homeowner is that it turns the tech into a salesman instead of an AC repair technician. The only way they make money is by turning big-ticket sales because they get paid little to nothing for a $200 AC repair. The only thing worth their time is to turn tickets in the $1000 range. You can clearly see the conflict of interest. What separates us we do not follow this business model. As a matter of fact, we do not have any salespeople and do not allow commissions in our company. We are structured to do the best job possible without taking advantage of the homeowner.
- Price gouging is a technique that many companies use to make up for the slow winters. For example, it is common for many to charge $500 for a simple capacitor replacement when in reality it should only cost $175. The reason so many AC companies participate in this practice is that it’s one of the easiest ways to cover for the winter. This business practice is not necessary, they are just being lazy. The way we solve this problem for our customers is by doing the hard administrative work. We spend a lot of time budgeting and planning for the winter so we don’t have to price gouge our customers along without laying off any of our employees. It’s a tough balancing act but it can be done and we are doing it.
- This one might surprise you, the way many air conditioner companies spend their marking dollars is very inefficient driving up their prices. Most air conditioner companies look at the summer like a land grab and they don’t care how they generate traffic to their business. It is normal for most air conditioner businesses to spend 15% to 20% of all their revenue to attract customers. You can imagine what this does to pricing, especially if they payout commissions to techs and salesman. If an AC repair in Austin should only cost $550 and they spent 20% on marketing and 10% on commissions, they have to charge $715 for the same service as a company that does not spend their money like this. The way we solve this problem for our customers is a bit old fashion. We put our focus on delivering great service you can count on with fair pricing. We believe it is more important to build trust with our customers we become their go-to AC repair company. We pay a lot more attention to building a long-term business over making a quick dollar.
