I don't normally write reviews, but felt compelled to warn the rest of Austin about ABA.
I called them when my A/C went out on a Saturday in 108 degree weather. They were the 3rd call I placed, and the only company that could come out right then. 20 minutes later, the tech arrived.
He replaced a fuse I had blown installed a new t-stat. $50 visit charge, $80 fuse. Seemed high, but okay. next problem was the A/C just didn't get cold. Tech says freon was leaking. $200 to investigate further. Ok. After investigation, he says coil is leaking. to fix the coil is $1500. He recommends replacing the entire system b/c Obama's new regs require freon changes in 2010 and if my system breaks then I'll have to replace the whole system. his cheapest price is almost $7K. I politely sent him on his way during which he became more persistent.
Monday another A/C company came out, said freon was low and every unit loses a small amount every year. No leaks found, he charged the freon and went on his way for $75.
I would not recommend ABA under any circumstances.
Pros: they were available
Cons: everything else
