All good things come to an end, and after spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on your air conditioning and heating system, it’s time to put it out of its—and your—misery. Your HVAC system in your home or business keeps people comfortable and controls the building’s environment.
There is only so much you can do to repair an older system. When you’ve reached the limit, a certified Texas HVAC contractor like FIX IT! Services can upgrade your system so you can start living more comfortably and saving energy throughout the year.

How to Know if You Need a New HVAC System
If you’re thinking about replacing your old HVAC system, here are a few signs to look for when your system is ready to call it quits:
1) High utility bills
If your house is equipped with an older HVAC system, you may have seen your energy bills rise over the past few months or years. As your HVAC system ages, it becomes more inefficient and has to work harder to cool or heat your home.
By calling FIX IT! Services, one of the best residential and commercial HVAC contractors in Austin, you can find out whether your high bills are being caused by a system that isn’t functioning properly or whether you have a leak in your ducts.
2) Varied temperatures in different parts of your home
If your HVAC system is struggling to maintain a consistent temperature from room to room, you know there’s an issue. In the summers, one room is cool and others are hot, or vice versa. Look at the ductwork in your attic and feel around to see if there are leaks. Sometimes you can hear the air hissing from gaps in the ducts—especially in the areas where the ducts are connected to the HVAC system.
The team at FIX IT! can check for any leaks in your ductwork or malfunctions in your HVAC system. With our decades of experience in AC repair, replacement and maintenance, we can assess, diagnose and repair the issue through parts replacement or full system replacement.
3) HVAC consistently runs
When the right temperature is reached by the system, the compressor should turn off until the room becomes warmer again. If you see that the AC keeps running despite reaching the right temperature, this could be an indication that your air conditioning system is no longer functioning well.
4) Outdated HVAC
Older HVAC systems typically use more energy and break down often. Watch your energy consumption and billing. Older systems will cost you higher bills while providing less comfort. Do your research, as newer systems feature high SEER ratings, have programmable thermostats, improve air quality and have a variable speed motor, providing your home with very effective cooling and heating power.
5) Spending more on repairs
Maintenance costs are inherent with any system you have or a new one you’ll buy. With older systems, you’re noticing frequent repairs. Think about how many times technicians have visited your house for HVAC-related issues over the past year and over the past month. Add up all the service fees and repair bills you’ve paid in order to see if keeping your old HVAC still makes sense.

Gilbert Carreon2021-11-17Performed the Faucet repair and installation of a new Tub/shower accessories. Service truly great. I could not ask for a better plumbing company. Very prompt service! Repair work handled quite professionally and personnel was very well skilled to identify the root cause. Highly recommend
Elbert Rucker2021-10-28Westin went above a beyond
A K2021-10-22Came out, fixed my issues, I asked them to identify any other issues. He suggested a couple, gave me a quote and got it done all in a few hours. They'll be my go to for my home and anyone that asks. Easy, honest, simple and informative. He fixed the relief valve so if it blows it won't ruin my home, fixed the expansion tank leak and replaced problematic shark it connectors at the water heater. All in I think 4 hours or less depending on if you count the time he took to grab parts. All around very happy. $585 was the cost. I called around for like work and the price for just fixing my expansion tank came close to the above cost from competitors in the area. Solid solid people here.
Kristy Stryker2021-10-18TLDR - Everyone is awesome - Heather, Kevin, Joey - A+++ Thanks so much!! While it was such a headache to deal with my warranty company and try to get them to honor their contract, the silver lining is that's how I learned of Fix It Services and ended up using them to replace my hot water heater without using the warranty after all (grr). I have nothing but great things to say about everyone we've dealt with. The first technician who came out to diagnose the issue, Westin, was polite and quick to do what needed done and refer back to the warranty company. We ended up having some other technicians come out to give us a quote on the repair outside of warranty, and that was Kevin and Joey. They were fantastic. They took their time to answer our questions not only about the water heater but also about some water pressure concerns we had, and even talked about our water softener. They were very friendly, funny, and knowledgable. They did not mind spending time talking to us and swapping stories (and no, not because they were being paid for every minute they stayed either... lol). While we still tried to sort out our warranty issues over the course of a few days, Heather in the office continued to be such a delight to work with. She understood all of our frustrations (as did Kevin & Joey), worked really hard to be an advocate for us with the warranty company and dealt with a lot of back and forth phone calls and questions of both my husband and I while also dealing with the warranty company. Every single time we spoke to her she was polite and friendly, truly sounded eager to help and was not once bothered with us when we kept having to take some more time to decide how we wanted to move forward. - She did everything she could to swap schedules around and keep the technicians available for us as soon as possible, as we had already been without hot water for over a week. Kevin & Joey came back out to do the job, after waiting around on us for awhile to make the decision this morning. They were just as friendly as before, and were super efficient and professional in getting the install done correctly and quickly. They answered some more questions, provided some knowledge on flushing our system, tested our water hardness for us, and provided an estimate for a water softener. Every step of the process working with this company was a breeze and that's not easy to say about a lot of companies and contractors that are "randomly" assigned by warranty companies.
Corbin Winkle2021-10-07I broke off a water pipe 14inches inside the outer wall of our home. They came in and fixed the problem within two hours of the call. Kevin and Joey were professional and quick. The kind of people that measure twice and cut once. Exactly who you want to have work on your home. Ask for those guys.
Jesse Freeland2021-09-26Mother in law was charged 180.00 dollars to repair a leaky bathroom faucet. The faucet actually leaks more now. She has tried to contact the person who did the repair to get an invoice but hasnt had any luck. Sounds like the guy saw his chance to take advantage of an elderly person and did so. I would definitely think twice before using this company, nothing worse than someone that takes advantage of the elderly.
Savannah Kendricks2021-09-08Fix it is amazing if you need anything plumbing/ AC related for your home. They were able to come out same day and fix the issue. Super friendly and explained everything to me so I understood the issue and could prevent it from happening again. Highly recommend!!
Sean Steel2021-09-03I had a leaky fitting for the hose outside of my house - from previous experience with other fittings on my house, I knew the fittings on this house were a bit tricky. Deonte and Tabitha arrived quickly, correctly diagnosed the issue, and had the problem resolved quickly, especially given the trickiness of the way my house was originally plumbed. Plus, they were very friendly and played with my dog whenever he wandered by.
Big Steve2021-09-02Doug and Tina did great work today. Both worked hard and diligently to figure my pumping issues and once found. They went to work and fixed it in a timely manner. Both conducted themselves any very professional manner and broke down the plumbing issue to where it was easily understood. They even wore mask!!! Thanks again
Theresa Rose2021-08-31A big shout out to Zac and Diante, who quickly came to my home, quite a distance away, to repair my hot water heater. They were professional, kind, helpful, and fun. I had several issues which they took care of; even traveling twice during the visit to obtain needed parts. Diante also walked me through how to easily flush my water heater for yearly maintenance. Great service!!
