Yes! We offer flexible financing options for homeowners across Austin, San Antonio, and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a major repair or a full system replacement, our team will guide you through the process. We start with a comprehensive inspection of your current system and provide clear, upfront estimates for your options.

If you choose financing, our team will assist you in securing the necessary funds, including rebates, incentives, and special offers. We understand that unexpected HVAC replacements can be stressful, and we prioritize fast, affordable solutions to keep your home comfortable.

We recommend annual A/C service, ideally in spring before the summer heat arrives. During this check-up, our HVAC technicians inspect refrigerant levels, clean coils, lubricate moving parts, and assess system performance to keep your unit running efficiently.

In addition to professional servicing, homeowners should perform routine maintenance, including changing air filters every 1–3 months, keeping outdoor units clear, and addressing issues promptly.

Regular HVAC maintenance ensures your heating and cooling system operates at its best while preventing unexpected breakdowns. Key benefits include:

  • Improved performance & efficiency – A well-maintained system uses less energy, lowering utility bills.
  • Fewer repairs & breakdowns – Routine inspections catch small issues before they become costly problems.
  • Enhanced safety – Prevents hazards like carbon monoxide leaks from heating systems.
  • Longer system lifespan – Proper care helps your HVAC system last longer, saving you money on replacements.
  • Year-round comfort – Ensures reliable heating in winter and cooling in summer.

It’s recommended to service your air conditioner at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. Annual maintenance helps keep your system running efficiently, prevents costly breakdowns, and extends its lifespan.

For homes with pets, high usage, or allergies, it may be helpful to check your system and replace air filters more frequently, about every 1–3 months.

At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, our expert technicians provide thorough seasonal tune-ups, and our Radiant Care Club makes it easy to stay on top of routine maintenance with priority scheduling and exclusive discounts — keeping your home cool and comfortable year-round.

Most central air conditioners last  8+ years with proper maintenance, though some high-quality systems  – that have been properly maintained and services – can perform well for up to 20 years. The lifespan of your AC depends on factors like system quality, usage, local climate, and how regularly it’s serviced.

Without routine maintenance, systems often wear out faster, experience more breakdowns, and run less efficiently. That’s why homeowners across Austin and San Antonio trust Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning to help extend the life of their AC systems through expert repairs, professional installations, and proactive maintenance.

You should have Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning service your AC because we bring over 20 years of trusted expertise to every home we visit. Our licensed technicians are trained on all major brands and equipped with the tools and knowledge to keep your system running efficiently, safely, and reliably.

Homeowners across Austin and San Antonio choose Radiant because we prioritize your comfort, protect your investment, and stand behind our work with a commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

The cost of AC repair can vary depending on the issue, the system’s age, and the type of repair needed. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $150 and $600 for a typical AC repair. Minor fixes, like replacing a capacitor or clearing a clogged drain line, are often on the lower end, while major repairs — such as fixing a compressor or refrigerant leak — can cost significantly more.

At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we believe in upfront, transparent pricing. Our technicians provide a detailed assessment and clear recommendations before any work begins, so you’ll always know what to expect. Trusted in Austin and San Antonio since 1999, we’re committed to delivering expert repairs that protect your comfort and your budget.

Some minor AC tasks — like changing air filters, cleaning debris from around the outdoor unit, or gently rinsing the condenser coils — can often be handled by homeowners. However, most AC repairs should be left to a licensed professional.

AC systems are complex and involve electrical components, refrigerant, and delicate parts that require specialized tools and training. Attempting DIY repairs on components like the compressor, condenser, or refrigerant lines can lead to safety risks, further damage, or voided warranties.

At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, our expert technicians are here to diagnose and repair your system safely and efficiently. Trusted since 1999, we’re ready to help you get your AC back in top shape without the stress or guesswork.

In most cases, standard homeowners insurance does not cover AC repairs due to normal wear and tear, aging equipment, or lack of maintenance. However, insurance may help cover repairs or replacement if your AC system is damaged by a covered event, such as a storm, fire, vandalism, or a sudden, accidental incident.

It’s important to check your specific policy and speak with your insurance provider to understand what’s included. Some homeowners also choose to purchase a home warranty plan, which can help cover the cost of repairs or replacement for major systems, including heating and cooling.

At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we’re happy to provide clear estimates and help explain the repair details, so you can check with your insurance or warranty company. Since 1999, homeowners in Austin and San Antonio have trusted us for honest advice, expert repairs, and top-notch service.

Most AC repairs can be completed in 1 to 3 hours, depending on the issue and the complexity of the fix. Simple repairs, like replacing a capacitor, clearing a clogged drain line, or recharging refrigerant, are often handled quickly. More involved repairs, such as fixing a compressor or replacing a major part, may take several hours or require ordering special components, which can extend the timeline.

At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, we prioritize fast, efficient service without cutting corners. Our licensed technicians arrive prepared to diagnose the problem, explain your options, and complete the repair as quickly as possible — all while ensuring the work is done right. Since 1999, Austin and San Antonio homeowners have trusted us to restore comfort with prompt, reliable AC repairs.

AC maintenance includes a series of professional inspections, cleanings, and tune-ups designed to keep your air conditioning system running safely and efficiently. A typical AC maintenance visit covers:

  • Checking refrigerant levels and pressures

  • Inspecting and tightening electrical connections

  • Cleaning or replacing air filters

  • Cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils

  • Flushing the condensate drain line

  • Inspecting the thermostat and system controls

  • Lubricating moving parts to reduce wear

  • Testing overall system performance

At Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning, our expert technicians follow a thorough checklist to ensure your AC system is ready for the season ahead. Since 1999, homeowners across Austin and San Antonio have trusted us to deliver maintenance that helps prevent breakdowns, improves energy efficiency, and extends the life of their cooling systems.

Burst Pipe Repair Near Me

Burst Pipes Are Fast. We’re Faster.

A burst pipe isn’t just another plumbing issue—it’s a full-blown home emergency. Within minutes, water can pour into walls, ceilings, flooring, and electrical systems. The damage is swift, messy, and expensive. That’s why Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning treats every burst pipe call with urgency. Our licensed plumbers are available 24/7 across Austin, San Antonio, and surrounding areas to respond fast, shut off the problem at the source, and get your plumbing back in working order.

But a burst pipe doesn’t usually happen without warning. Most failures are caused by a combination of stress, weather, and age. And while you can’t control the weather, you can take steps to protect your home before disaster strikes.

Why Do Pipes Burst?

In homes across Austin and San Antonio, we see a few main causes of burst pipes:

  • Freezing temperatures: While Texas winters are mild most of the year, sudden cold snaps can freeze water inside pipes. Frozen water expands, building pressure until the pipe splits open.

  • High water pressure: When water pressure is too high for your plumbing to handle, it stresses pipe joints and weak spots, eventually causing a rupture.

  • Aging or corroded pipes: Over time, metal pipes rust, and even plastic piping can weaken. Older homes are especially vulnerable.

  • Poor installation or materials: Substandard materials or DIY plumbing jobs often fail under pressure or temperature shifts.

  • Neglected maintenance: Leaks, weak connections, and worn-out valves can all go unnoticed—until a pipe finally bursts.

These problems can happen in walls, under floors, or behind appliances—making it all the more important to stay ahead of the risk.

Emergency Repair, Guaranteed

Radiant’s licensed plumbers are trained to respond quickly, assess the damage, and get to work immediately. We start by locating the source of the break, shutting off water where necessary, and protecting your home from further damage. Then we replace or repair the burst section with high-quality materials, test the system for leaks, and make sure everything is safe and secure before we leave.

Best of all, we back every plumbing repair with our satisfaction guarantee. If something doesn’t hold up, we’ll make it right—because that’s what it means to stand behind your work.
