What's going on with your AC?
Spend less time finding a contractor. More time choosing the right one.
We narrow the field
You shouldn't need to spend hours opening contractor websites and reading hundreds of reviews. We do the first round of contractor research and narrow the field to local companies that fit the job.
We prepare the request
Tell us what's happening once. We turn your answers into a contractor-ready project brief for the companies you choose.
You compare on a level playing field
Selected contractors start with the same core project information — making recommendations, timing, scope and pricing easier to compare.
Tell us once. We prepare the project brief.
You answer a few questions about your AC, what you've noticed, how urgent it is, and what you want help with. We organize that into a standardized HVAC project brief for the contractors you choose. You don't have to explain the same problem from scratch three times — and every selected company starts with the same core information.
One brief. Same starting information. Less repetition for you. Cleaner information for the contractor. Easier comparison when responses come back.
We do the checking before you get the calls.
A 4.9-star rating doesn't tell the whole story. We match your project within our private network of Austin-area HVAC professionals, and look beyond a single review score when evaluating who's in it.
Credentials
Relevant licensing and regulatory information where available.
Local history
Signs of established Austin-area work and real local service coverage.
Reputation over time
Review history, recency, volume, repeated praise and complaint patterns — not just the headline star rating.
Professionalism
Communication, job fit, quote quality and warranty clarity.
Contractors in our private network are re-checked regularly.
Participating contractors may pay Austin Home Intelligence for introductions. Payment does not improve a company's vetting status.
One quote gives you a price. Three give you context.
If one company quotes $14,600, you only know their price. If two comparable companies quote $8,900 and $10,100, you suddenly have context.
| Company A | Company B | Company C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quote | $8,900 | $10,100 | $14,600 |
| Timing | 2 days | Tomorrow | Tomorrow |
| Warranty | 10 yr | 10 yr | 10 yr |
| Permit | Included | Included | Included |
The cheapest quote isn't automatically the best.
Multiple quotes make it easier to compare price, equipment, warranty, timing, permit handling, repair-vs-replacement recommendations, and what is or isn't included.
Illustrative example only. Actual project pricing and recommendations vary.
Questions before you request a contractor.
How many companies will contact me?
Only the number you choose: one or up to three. Your request is not sent to an unlimited contractor marketplace.
Is this free?
Yes — free for Austin homeowners, currently, with no obligation. Some participating contractors may pay us for introductions, but that doesn't affect what you pay.
How do you vet HVAC companies?
We look at credentials, local business history, reputation over time, and professionalism. See We Do The Checking Before You Get The Calls above.
Will my information be sent to other contractors?
No. Your request goes only to the number of companies you choose — 1 or up to 3. It is not distributed to a broader marketplace or contractor list.
Do contractors pay Austin Home Intelligence?
Some participating contractors may pay Austin Home Intelligence for introductions. Payment does not improve a company's vetting status.
Do you guarantee the contractor's work?
No. Austin Home Intelligence is a matching and vetting service, not the contractor performing the work. Verify licensing, insurance and warranty terms directly with the company before approving work.
Can I request a second opinion?
Yes. Select "Expensive repair / second opinion" and choose up to three contractors to compare.
Skip the hours of contractor research.
Tell us what's happening with your AC. We'll prepare the project brief, narrow the field, and let you decide whether 1 or up to 3 pre-vetted Austin HVAC companies can contact you.
