We provide specialized installation solutions designed to improve your home’s comfort while lowering your long-term energy costs, honoring the Jenkins Family’s 1949 promise to care for your property as if it were our own.
The Austin Challenge: Moving Beyond Outdated Technology
In Austin, an aging AC system isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s an expensive drain on your resources. Many older units were not designed for the modern efficiency standards or the extreme “heat waves” we now experience every summer. As components like the compressor and coils age, they require more electricity to provide less cooling. Eventually, the cost of frequent repairs outweighs the value of the unit. At ABC, we view a new AC installation as an opportunity to “reset” your home’s cooling efficiency and protect your property’s value for years to come.

Our Austin HVAC replacement team is guided by decades of engineering experience in Central Texas:
- Tom Riggs’ 32-Year Standard: Tom knows that the most important day in the life of an AC unit is the day it is installed. He ensures our technicians perform a thorough load calculation to make sure your new system is perfectly sized for your home’s square footage and insulation levels.
- The As My Own Promise: Following the Jenkins family legacy, we treat your home’s structural integrity with the highest level of care. We focus on a clean, professional installation that integrates seamlessly with your existing ductwork and electrical systems.

Our Signature Austin HVAC Replacement Solutions
We provide a systematic approach to modernizing your home’s cooling system:
Custom System Design & Sizing
Every home in Austin is different. we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” cooling. We evaluate your home’s layout, window placement, and attic insulation to recommend a system that provides even cooling in every room without wasting energy.
High-Efficiency SEER2 Upgrades
We install the latest in cooling technology, including variable-speed compressors and two-stage systems. These modern units are designed to handle Austin’s humidity more effectively, providing a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
Vascular Ductwork Realignment
A new AC unit is only as good as the ducts that carry the air. During installation, we inspect your air pathways to ensure they are properly sealed and sized for your new equipment, preventing energy leaks and ensuring your home’s cooling flow is optimized.
Commercial Infrastructure Replacement
We manage the complex AC replacement needs for Austin’s retail centers, office buildings, and multi-family complexes. We provide the heavy-duty installation expertise needed to minimize business disruption and maximize long-term operational savings.
