Most AC replacements in Austin fall into a wide range $8.500 to $17.500+ depending on system size, efficiency rating, brand, ductwork condition, and any electrical or code upgrades required.

Instead of one “flat” price, we provide a free, written estimate with a few system options so you can compare efficiency levels, comfort features, and monthly payment plans — and choose what fits your home and budget best.

The right AC size depends on much more than square footage alone. We look at insulation levels, window type and orientation, sun exposure, ceiling height, ductwork, and air leakage to calculate your home’s actual cooling load.

Bree HVAC uses professional load calculations rather than “rule of thumb” guesses. That helps avoid oversizing (short cycling and humidity problems) or undersizing (system runs nonstop and your Austin home still doesn’t feel cool enough).

A standard AC change-out in Austin typically takes about one full day. If we’re replacing both the indoor and outdoor units, updating ductwork, or bringing older equipment up to current code, the project may take closer to one to two days.

Before installation day, we’ll review the plan with you so you know exactly what will happen and how long we expect the job to take.

In many situations, yes. Replacing an older, low-efficiency unit with a modern high-efficiency SEER2 system can help lower cooling costs — especially during Austin’s long, hot summer season.

We’ll walk you through different efficiency options, including variable-speed and two-stage systems, and help estimate potential savings based on your current equipment and usage.

Yes. Most systems we install include a manufacturer parts warranty (often up to 10 years when properly registered), along with Bree HVAC’s own labor and workmanship coverage.

During your estimate, we’ll explain exactly what’s covered, how long the protection lasts, and any steps you need to take to keep your warranties in good standing.

If your furnace is roughly the same age as your AC, replacing both together is often the best long-term value. A matched system can improve efficiency, comfort, and reliability — and you avoid paying twice for installation labor and permits.

If your furnace is newer and in good shape, we’ll let you know whether it’s reasonable to keep it or if a full system upgrade makes more sense.

During peak summer heat, we prioritize no-cool homes in Austin. In many cases, we can install a new system within 1–3 days, depending on equipment availability and permitting.
