Here's How We Help

Expert winterization services that protect your cooling system through the cold season and ensure peak performance when you need it again.

Complete System Inspection

We thoroughly inspect your entire cooling system before winter arrives, identifying potential vulnerabilities, worn components, and areas that need protection from cold weather damage.

Outdoor Unit Protection

Your outdoor AC unit faces the harshest winter conditions. We properly cover, seal, and protect outdoor components from freezing temperatures, ice, snow, and debris that can cause serious damage.

Coil and Line Winterization

Frozen coils and refrigerant lines are among the most common winter damage issues. We drain condensate lines, protect refrigerant lines, and ensure coils are properly sealed against freezing conditions.

Moisture and Pest Prevention

Winter creates opportunities for moisture buildup and pest infestations. We seal openings, remove standing water, and protect your system from rust, corrosion, and unwanted critters looking for shelter.

Pre-Season System Prep

Getting your cooling system ready before the first freeze prevents emergency situations. We handle all winterization steps early, so you're never scrambling to protect your equipment when cold weather hits.

Spring Reactivation Service

When winter ends, we safely restart your system with a thorough inspection, cleaning, and performance check to ensure everything runs efficiently after months of dormancy.

Winterization That Protects Your Investment

Many Austin homeowners focus exclusively on heating when temperatures drop, but your cooling system needs protection too. Without proper winterization, AC units suffer from frozen components, moisture damage, rust, and pest infestations that lead to expensive repairs or premature replacement. Our professional winterization service prepares your cooling system for the off-season with thorough inspection, protective covering, line draining, and component sealing.

We've seen what happens when systems aren't properly winterized—burst pipes, corroded coils, and units that fail to start when summer arrives. With over 20 years of HVAC experience, we know exactly what Austin's winter conditions can do to unprotected cooling systems, and we take every step necessary to prevent damage and extend your equipment's lifespan.

Signs You Need Cooling System Winterization

Proper winterization prevents costly problems before they start. Here's when your cooling system needs professional winter protection.

Your System Is Exposed to Freezing Temperatures
If your outdoor AC unit is exposed to freezing conditions, ice, or snow, winterization is essential. Even mild Austin winters can cause freeze damage to unprotected components.
You've Had Previous Cold Weather Damage
Systems that have suffered winter damage before are at higher risk. Proper winterization prevents repeat issues and protects vulnerable components that may already be compromised.
Your AC Is Over 10 Years Old
Older cooling systems are more susceptible to cold weather damage. Aging components, worn seals, and reduced resilience make professional winterization even more important for mature systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I schedule cooling system winterization?
The best time is late fall, before the first hard freeze. In Austin, we recommend scheduling between October and November to ensure your system is protected before temperatures drop significantly.
What's included in professional winterization?
Our comprehensive service includes system inspection, outdoor unit covering and sealing, condensate line draining, refrigerant line protection, pest prevention, moisture removal, and a detailed checklist of all protective measures taken.
Do I really need winterization in Austin?
Yes. Even though Austin winters are mild compared to northern climates, we do experience freezing temperatures that can damage unprotected cooling systems. Frozen coils, burst lines, and moisture damage happen here too.
How much does winterization cost?
Winterization is a small investment compared to the cost of repairing freeze damage or replacing a failed system. We provide transparent pricing upfront, and most homeowners find the service pays for itself by preventing even one major repair.
What happens if I skip winterization?
Unprotected systems risk frozen coils, burst refrigerant lines, moisture damage, rust, pest infestations, and reduced efficiency. Many of these issues don't appear until you try to start your AC in spring—often resulting in emergency repairs during the first heat wave.
