ABC Home & Commercial Services provides professional AC maintenance, seasonal tune-ups, and efficiency audits for homes and businesses throughout the Austin metro, including Round Rock, Pflugerville, and Cedar Park. Led by Mechanical Division Manager Tom Riggs, ABC specializes in proactive system care. We provide specialized maintenance solutions designed to catch small issues before they become expensive breakdowns, honoring the Jenkins Family’s 1949 promise to care for your property as if it were our own.
The Austin Challenge: Preventing Heat-Related Failures
In Austin, your air conditioner works harder than almost anywhere else in the country. The constant cycle of triple-digit days creates immense wear on your system’s motors, capacitors, and coils. Without regular maintenance, dirt and pollen build up on the unit, forcing it to run longer and hotter just to keep your home cool. This lead to a drop in efficiency and a much shorter lifespan for your equipment. At ABC, we treat maintenance as an essential investment in your home’s comfort and long-term value.
Local Leadership & Professional Maintenance: Tom Riggs
Our Austin HVAC maintenance team is guided by decades of experience in the Central Texas climate:
- Tom Riggs’ 32-Year Standard: Tom knows that a real tune-up is more than just changing a filter. He ensures our technicians perform a multi-point inspection that covers everything from electrical connections to refrigerant levels, ensuring your system is truly ready for the summer peak.
- The As My Own Promise: Following the Jenkins family legacy, we treat your home’s cooling system with the highest level of care. We focus on cleaning and calibrating your unit so it runs as efficiently as possible, lowering your monthly energy costs.
- Predictive Care: Tom ensures our Austin team looks for early signs of component wear. By replacing a weakening part during a scheduled visit, we save you from the stress of an emergency breakdown on a 100-degree afternoon.
Our Signature Austin HVAC Maintenance Services
We provide a comprehensive approach to keeping your system running at peak performance:
Seasonal System Tune-Ups
We prepare your AC for the summer and your furnace for the winter. Our technicians clean the coils, check the electrical components, and ensure the entire system is calibrated for the upcoming season’s temperature swings.
Efficiency & Performance Audits
We measure your system’s actual output against its factory specifications. By fine-tuning the refrigerant charge and checking airflow, we ensure you are getting the maximum cooling for every dollar you spend on electricity.
Condensate & Drainage Clearing
In the humid Austin environment, algae and debris can quickly clog your AC’s drain lines. We flush these lines and check the safety switches to prevent water from backing up and causing damage to your home’s ceilings or foundation.
Commercial Maintenance Programs
We manage the complex cooling needs of Austin’s commercial properties, from retail stores to office buildings. We provide scheduled maintenance that keeps your business comfortable and prevents the operational downtime caused by unexpected system failures.
The System Longevity Inspection
Every maintenance visit includes a thorough look at the “health” of your HVAC unit. Tom Riggs and his team evaluate the overall condition of your equipment. We look for potential trouble spots—such as worn fan belts, loose wiring, or build-up on the outdoor condenser—providing a clear report on your system’s status and any recommended improvements.
Foundation & Humidity Protection
A well-maintained AC system is your home’s best defense against humidity. During our maintenance check, we verify that your unit is effectively removing moisture from your indoor air. We also ensure that water is being discharged safely away from your home’s foundation, protecting the structural integrity of your property.

Austin HVAC Maintenance FAQ
In Austin, yes. Our extreme heat means your AC performs more “work” in one summer than a unit in the north might do in three. Annual maintenance is the only way to catch the wear and tear caused by our 100-degree weeks before it leads to a total system failure.
Absolutely. A system that is dirty or low on refrigerant has to run much longer to cool your home. By cleaning the coils and calibrating the system, we restore its efficiency, which directly reduces the amount of electricity it consumes.
Our tune-up is a comprehensive multi-point check. It includes cleaning the condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting the electrical components (like capacitors and contactors), clearing the drain lines, and testing the overall airflow of your home.
