I have found this company to be quick to respond to my calls. Weston was my most recent service provider and took time to explalin in detail what was wrong with my water unit. He was polite and listened to what I had to say.

We moved into a new house and needed a breaker replaced in order for the hot water heater to work. Started making calls at 3:30pm and called over 15 places before I spoke with Efficient. They not only answered the phone unlike many others I tried but were extremely helpful, communicative, and had someone out there in under 30 minutes. They replaced the breaker and I couldn't have been happier with the service. The electrician was very friendly and professional. Will absolutely use them again!

I contacted Efficient when we were looking to replace our current heat pump, their staff was extremely helpful and responsive. The installation crew was on time, and completed all of the work in under 5 hours, they put down protective mats inside my home and removed all of their waste. The only issue we had was when they removed the original outdoor unit was that it was dropped onto our wooden deck which resulted in some scrapes and large scratches. I would recommend using Efficient in the future.

Suddenly, at the end of the day, NO HOT WATER! Called Efficient and they offered to come out "after hours" There is an additional, understandably, fee. Dallas, the serviceman on call, called to say he was in his way and when we could expect him. True to his word, he came timely and diagnosed the problem with ease. Unfortunately, parts needed to be secured from the manufacturer as they were luckily under Warranty. Dallas called early the next morning, parts in hand and fixed both our water heaters promptly. Excellent communication and service. We also use Efficient for AC and Duct work. Highly recommend!

Arthur goes above and beyond any time we call him for service. We now specifically request him for all of our jobs. He's professional, knowledgeable and always gets the jobs done. Great guy and would highly recommend him and Efficient. Thank you, Arthur! We need more people like you, especially during these times

I have used Efficient Air a couple of times for issues with our HVAC, because they provide high quality at a relatively economical price. Arthur was our technician and he is one of the most professional and knowledgeable techs we've had. He fixed a problem that no one else could diagnose. I highly recommend their services.

The Efficient Team of experienced professionals are awesome! I've engaged them for HVAC repairs and, most recently, their plumbing team (eg Feb 2021 freeze and broken pipe and Dec 2021 plumbing leaks). I highly recommend Efficient and would not consider any other service. Call them, you'll be glad you did and very pleased with their fair pricing and quality services.

I thought I had a "simple" project, but I was in over my head. John was great! He was very nice, explained what was going on, clearly told me his plan, and completed the job right and fast! Definitely will be using Efficient anytime I need a reliable and efficient electrician!

Efficient is awesome, when I called I actually spoke to a live person who went above and beyond to accommodate my service call with my schedule. Then when the technician arrived I received that same awesome service and I also learned a few things about my unit that I never knew. Five star service in my opinion

I had the bad luck of having my A/C go out during the July 4 holiday weekend. I called 6 repair shops and Efficient was the only one who responded to my request. Scheduling was quick and efficient and the technician (Ross) had the expertise to diagnose my issue and complete the repairs quickly and efficiently. Charges were clearly explained to me over the phone and in person. I highly recommend them for A/C repairs or installation.

I hired Efficient for some electrical work and Jonathan Padro was the technician. Jonathan provided outstanding work and service. Besides finding and resolving the problem, he also help find potential risk areas. I had him go back to do additional work and he followed up with great work and professionalism. Will certain call Efficient and Jon specifically again for future work.

Johnathon Pedro with Efficient air is fantastic! He was on time, communicated effectively, and repaired everything we needed AND cleaned up after himself immaculately. We also had painters here working and he managed to work around that inconvenience with a smile. Cant recommend him highly enough.

I'm part of the HOA board for a condo complex in South Austin. When the 2021 Winter Snowstorms burst a pipe in our complex, we were deeply concerned about getting things back online once everything thawed out. Efficient came out quickly and made sure all 42 of our units were back online properly! They fixed up the burst pipe, inspected for other pipe issues, were incredibly courteous and helpful, and did an amazing job overall.

They even stuck around to handle issues that came up afterward, such as installation of hot water heaters, toilet fix-ups, fixing leaky valves, and so much more. Dallas and Carlyle were excellent to work with and we will happily call on them again for any complex-wide services.

$99 fee to come out. Otherwise they got back to me within a day on A quote to replace and gave me several options. They do work on Sunday

Have used this company for the past several years for routine electrical repairs and air conditioner, lighting, and ceiling fan installations. When the company expanded to include plumbing work, I utilized their services for the installation of a new water heater, garbage disposal, and toilet. Here's what happened each time - the technician called when he was a half hour away on the scheduled installation date, he arrived at or before the scheduled appointment time, and the work was done in an efficient manner. When it was necessary for follow-up work, it was done in a timely manner. All of the technicians have been very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend.

We had a couple of sleepless nights because the siren on our old home security system was going off randomly. After disconnecting the transformer and the back-up battery on the system, the siren continued. I called the system installer, but they had no answers. I couldn't find the siren anywhere, so, as a last resort, I put in a call to Efficient to come out. Instead, Stephen talked me through the options on the phone.

Within 5 minutes, I found an "add-on" heat detector that the previous owners had connected separately to the siren in the attic. No service call required. Thanks, Stephen. I'm looking forward to a nap.

We had our AC go out last night and gave Efficient AC, Electric & Plumbing a call early in the morning. To our surprise a very knowledgeable technician named Robert came knocking on our door in under two hours. He quickly found the root of the problem and the AC was back up in running. In these hot summer months quality fast service like this from an AC company is crucial. Robert did a great job and I would recommend anybody with AC problems give Efficient AC, Electric & Plumbing a call!

I worked with a different AC company previously but I still had an issue with our indoor unit freezing and then leaking water. I wanted a second opinion about our leaking issue and I found Efficient recommended on my neighborhood's FB page. Ernie was thorough and professional in his assessment of our issue. Our previous AC technician didn't seem as knowledgeable in comparison to Ernie. After checking our system thoroughly, Ernie correctly diagnosed the problem and our unit finally stopped leaking. In addition, the pricing was very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Called these guys out when my a/c was blowing warm air. Dan came out, diagnosed multiple leaks (which I'd suspected) and recommended a new system (which I expected), loaded me up with enough coolant to get through at least a couple of weeks while I set an appointment to have a load evaluation and quote done with Darwin. I'd already gotten a quote for a new system from another company, but Darwin came out and not only gave me a better price for the same system, but was willing to work with me on adding some returns to some especially warm rooms.

The following Monday (less than week later) we had the crew out to install a brand new full house system including three added returns, enlarging existing returns already in place, new duct work and even a new drip line installed at the under-eave drip line. They got it all done in one business day AND came in a couple of hundred dollars UNDER their quote. They actually left the hall and stairs neater than they found it, and were as unobtrusive as possible. I'm highly impressed and will be (already have been) telling everyone I know about Efficient.

I would give them 10 stars if I could! Michelle was super friendly when I called to schedule a service call for my fiancs AC. Jeff just came out and fixed what was wrong at a fair price. He was fast and friendly and explained it all during and after the visit. I'm also thankful that they were willing to come out to a rural area. This is a great business and we appreciate everything!
