Welcome to Patriot Appliance & Air Conditioning Repair
When something breaks down at home — your refrigerator stops cooling, your AC gives out in the middle of a Texas summer, or your dryer quits right before the week’s laundry — you need someone you can call fast and trust completely. That’s exactly what we’ve been doing for families across the Austin area since 2013.
At Patriot Appliance & Air Conditioning Repair, we’re a veteran and family-owned business. Our owner, Paul, built this company on a simple promise: show up when you say you will, diagnose the problem honestly, and fix it right the first time. Over a decade and tens of thousands of service calls later, that promise hasn’t changed. It’s why we carry a 4.9-star Google rating across more than 500 reviews, and it’s why so many of our customers in neighborhoods like Zilker, Mueller, and South Congress call us back year after year.
Living in Austin means dealing with real weather extremes. We’re talking 100-degree days that test your AC to its limits — and then a sudden cold snap that leaves you scrambling for heat. That’s where we come in. Whether you’re off MoPac near the Domain, out in the hills of Westlake, or close to downtown, our team knows the quirks of Austin homes. That clay soil under so many houses? It can shift and mess with your ductwork or fridge leveling. We’ve seen it all.
Here’s what makes us different: we don’t just fix what’s broken — we help you avoid the next breakdown. Our seasonal maintenance plans are built for Austin’s climate. We’ll catch small issues before they turn into emergencies. And if you do have an emergency? We pick up the phone, day or night. No voicemail loops, no runaround.

What Makes Us Different
Why Choose Patriot Appliance & Air Conditioning Repair?
Experienced and Reliable Technicians Serving Austin Homes
Our licensed and insured technicians bring years of hands-on experience in both HVAC and appliance repair. We know Austin’s older homes in Hyde Park or Travis Heights have quirks—like cramped attic spaces or outdated wiring—that test even seasoned pros. That’s why we keep our trucks stocked with advanced tools and common parts for brands like Sub-Zero, Whirlpool, and Lennox. Whether you’re dealing with a fridge that won’t cool or an AC that quit mid-August, we diagnose fast and fix right the first time. Honestly, there’s nothing worse than a Band-Aid repair that fails a week later. We focus on lasting solutions, so you’re not calling us back next month. Every job gets a thorough check, from checking refrigerant levels to testing dryer vent airflow. The truth is, your comfort isn’t something we rush through.
Family and Veteran-Owned Values That Matter in Austin
As a family and veteran-owned company, we bring the same grit and integrity we were taught in the service to every Austin home. We treat each house—whether it’s a new build in Mueller or a bungalow in Zilker—as if it were our own. That means honest recommendations, never upselling you on something you don’t need. We hear this a lot: “I just want someone I can trust.” So we lay out your options clearly, give upfront pricing, and let you decide. We’ve helped over 635,000 customers across Travis County, and that trust wasn’t earned by cutting corners. It came from showing up on time, communicating clearly, and standing behind our work. You won’t get a sales pitch from us—just solid advice from people who care about their community.
Fast Response and Lasting Results for Austin Residents
We understand how disruptive a broken AC or refrigerator can be, especially in the middle of an Austin heat spell. That’s why we treat every call as urgent. We offer a 4-hour appointment window and call about 30 minutes before arriving—usually we’re there within 2 hours of your first call. Our focus isn’t just on getting things running again; it’s on keeping them running. We use quality parts and proven techniques, not quick fixes. For example, if your furnace goes out during one of those rare cold snaps along the I-35 corridor, we’ll inspect the heat exchanger, check the blower motor, and make sure the system’s safe for your family. You get peace of mind, not just a temporary patch. We’re here 7 days a week for emergencies, day or night.

Hear from our happy customers
Ryan McGheeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. absolutely amazing!!!! I had an AC unit that wasn't keeping the upstairs cool. Another local company came out and "found" had a huge list of items to be repaired that totaled over $6k. Including several items on the AC unit that wasn't having problems. This was in April so they were likely thinking they could scare me into it with summer quickly approaching. I told them I wanted a 2nd opinion, which annoyed them, but I'm glad I did. After Paul came out, not knowing what items the previous company identified, he gave me a quote that was 10x lower to repair 90% of the same items identified. Even with an upgraded UV light system for both AC units, the total repair/install/upgrade price was under $1k. Paul has earned my business from now on, and I recommend him whenever I hear ANYONE mention and AC unit they need repaired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Air Conditioning Repairs typically Price Range
Patriot Appliance & Air Conditioning Repair Service provides professional AC repair across Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Lakeway, Lago Vista, and surrounding Texas communities. Most air conditioning repairs range from $150 to $1,500+, depending on the problem, system age, and parts required. Common repairs such as capacitor replacements, contactors, drain line clearing, thermostat issues, and condenser fan motors generally fall on the lower end, while evaporator coil replacements, refrigerant leaks, blower motors, and compressor repairs are more extensive. Our diagnostic fee is applied toward the repair when service is approved. We provide honest recommendations, upfront pricing before any work begins, and never perform unauthorized repairs. Every service call includes a complete system evaluation to help homeowners make informed decisions about their HVAC system’s performance, reliability, and efficiency.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Possible low freon, compressor not running, fan motor not spinning, clogged drain line. In Austin’s humidity, a clogged drain line is incredibly common—we see it often in homes near the greenbelt where trees shed leaves into the unit. If your AC isn’t cooling, give us a call and we’ll diagnose it fast.
Do you offer emergency AC repair?
Yes, we offer 24-hour emergency service, 7 days a week. Call (512) 903-0641 today, day or night. Whether it’s a broken AC on a 105-degree afternoon or a freezer full of food that’s thawing, we’ll get someone out to you.
How fast can you come out?
We schedule a 4-hour window, call 30 minutes in advance when en route, and usually arrive within 2 hours from the initial call. That way you’re not stuck waiting around all day—we respect your time, especially when it’s hot in Austin.
Do you service Cedar, Round Rock, Lakeway and Bee Caves?
Yes, we absolutely do. If you’re in the 78704 zip code and your AC goes out, or you’re up near the Domain and your fridge won’t cool, we’ll get a tech to you fast. We cover all of Austin — from Zilker to Pflugerville, and everywhere in between.
Do you service Cedar, Round Rock, Lakeway and Bee Caves?
You bet we do. The truth is, appliances don’t break during convenient hours. So whether it’s a Sunday afternoon or a Tuesday at midnight, we’ve got someone on call who knows their way around a compressor or a control board. Just give us a ring.
What appliance brands do you service?
We handle just about every brand you can think of. For appliances, that means Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Frigidaire, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Kenmore, Electrolux, Sub-Zero, and Amana. On the HVAC side, we work on Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Bryant, and Amana units. We run into a lot of Goodman units here in Austin — they’re popular in newer builds around places like Easton Park and Mueller. And if you don’t see your brand listed here, don’t sweat it. Call us anyway. Chances are, we’ve fixed one before.
Is it worth repairing my appliance or should I replace it?
Honestly, it comes down to a few things: how old the unit is, how much the repair costs, and how reliable that make and model tends to be. Here’s a simple rule we give all our Austin customers — if the repair will cost more than half the price of a new unit, and the appliance is already pushing 8 to 10 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. But we don’t just give you a script. We’ll walk through the numbers with you, tell you what we’d do if it were our own home, and let you decide. We hear this a lot: “I’ve been burned by other repair guys.” We get it. That’s why we never push work you don’t need. Whether you’re in a 1960s bungalow in Hyde Park or a new build in Circle C, you’ll get an honest recommendation.
Are you licensed and insured in Texas?
It’s not a one-size-fits-all answer. We look at the age of the unit, the cost of the repair, and how reliable that model tends to be. A good rule we share with folks in Austin: if the fix costs more than half of what a new appliance would, and the unit is 8 to 10 years old or older, replacement is typically the better call. But we won’t just say that and leave. We break it down for you — honestly. If we think a repair is the smart move, we’ll tell you. If it’s not, we’ll tell you that too. We’ve never believed in pushing unnecessary work. It’s why so many families in places like Rollingwood and Travis Heights keep coming back.

Your Austin HVAC and Appliance Repair Experts — Here When You Need Us
Let’s be real — when something breaks down at home, it throws everything off. The fridge stops cooling and you’re scrambling to save the groceries. The AC quits on a Saturday afternoon in August and suddenly your living room is unbearable. Or the dryer decides to stop mid-cycle right before the kids need their uniforms. We’ve been there with you. Since 2013, we’ve helped over 635,000 Austin families get back to normal, fast.
At Patriot Appliance & Air Conditioning Repair, we’re a veteran and family-owned crew. Our founder, Paul, started this business with a simple idea: show up when you say you will, diagnose the problem honestly, and fix it right the first time. Over a decade and thousands of service calls later, that’s still how we operate. It’s why we’ve got a 4.9-star rating and why folks from Zilker to Manor keep our number saved in their phones. Whether you’re dealing with a busted AC in a condo off Rainey Street or a fridge that’s making noise in a house out in Oak Hill, we’ve got you covered.
Austin is the 10th most populous city in the U.S., with over 974,000 residents in Travis County and a metro area pushing 2.5 million. From the limestone hills of Westlake to the dense urban grid of East Austin’s Holly neighborhood, the city’s microclimates and aging housing stock create real demand for reliable HVAC and appliance repair. Summers bring 90+ days over 100°F, and winter ice storms—like 2021’s Uri—can knock out heat pumps and refrigerators alike.
With over 200 days of sunshine and 87% humidity in summer, AC units run harder here than almost anywhere else, leading to frequent compressor fails and frozen coils. Meanwhile, the city’s explosive growth means many homes in neighborhoods like Mueller or Zilker have newer appliances that still need expert service for smart-tech issues or warranty-covered repairs. Whether you’re dealing with a geothermal heat pump in the Hill Country or a failing wine cooler in a downtown high-rise, local techs who know Austin’s grid and building codes save you both time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions About Austin
My AC stopped blowing cold during a 105°F Austin summer. What’s the typical repair timeline here?
Most reliable Austin HVAC companies offer same-day or next-day emergency service for breakdowns in extreme heat, given the health risk. However, if your unit uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out in 2020), expect a longer wait if it needs a recharge, as that gas is banned for new use in Travis County.
Are there Austin-specific permits required for replacing a heat pump or gas furnace in, say, the 78704 zip code?
Yes—Travis County requires a mechanical permit for any HVAC replacement, and the City of Austin (outside county jurisdiction) enforces stricter energy codes like IECC 2021. For gas appliances, you’ll need a Gas Piping permit and an inspection from the Austin Fire Department if the unit exceeds 200,000 BTUs.
We live near Lady Bird Lake and our refrigerator keeps frosting up. Could humidity from the lake be the issue?
Absolutely—homes within a mile of Lady Bird Lake or the Colorado River often experience higher ambient humidity, which can cause faulty defrost cycles in older fridges. A technician should check both the door seals and the evaporator fan, plus ensure the condenser coils are clean from cottonwood seed debris common in the area.
