Ed and team are not in the least but scary. Quite the opposite. Polite, on time, respectful and trustworthy. They're in the business of happy customers which is getting harder and harder to find versus the make a quick buck and move into the next. Highly recommend Ed and his team! read more

Scary Cold is excellent. Conscience and thorough. We've had very good experiences with them. highly recommend.

Our Heat stoped working in the night. Called Scary AC around 8:30am and it was fixed before lunch. This was the morning of Feb 3, 2022 when schools were shut down and lots of roads were covered in ice. My flashbacks from last years snowvid debacle were quickly alleviated with prompt service at a very reasonable price! Scary Good Job! read more

Scary Cold AC - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

Okay, it's been almost a year and I was meaning to do this sooner. Scary Cold put a state of the art air con unit in our house and it has been working like a champ. We have send to use a dehumidifier during the damper months, which saved our air conditioner from working on overdrive, but we may as well retire that. The unit is efficient and our bills have gone down. The guys at Scary Cold will not try to upsell you, but give you all of the options. In fact, we first got our AC repaired by them for a steal, but eventually had to upgrade. Forget the commercials for other places. These guys are hard working and sincere. read more

I really should have written this review sooner, I have been using Ed for over 10 years now. We had 2 really old AC units for our 2 story house and Ed has been fantastic at quickly replying when there was a problem and coming up with solutions to keep them running as long as we could. We finally had to replace our downstairs unit last year and he installed a new top-of-the-market Carrier infinity system which has worked perfectly since it was installed. Ed is such a great down-to-earth guy with loads of experience for quite a variety of problems we've had over the years. read more

Scary Cold AC - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me

We are renters so I don't know how much weight our review will carry but, except for the cost, we are the ones most directly impacted by the service and we felt compelled to write this review. no one wants to hear that their entire unit needs to be replaced but if you live long enough in one place, it's going to happen to you. our landlady spent a couple of days comparatively shopping which seems perfectly sensible and then hired Scary Cold. Even though they had a customer ahead of us, they still came the next dy at the hottest time of the day and finished the job before they left, leaving our house spotless with cold air we only dreamed possible. There was Junior, Eric and a third young man nd yes, some minor language obstacles but easily remedied. There was eas communication between us and Ed, the boss at the office and our landlady who just happened to be in Canada at the time. not only are we pleased with the work but with their attitude and work ethic. so far as we are concerned, we could not be more pleased with their entire organization and would recommend them to anyone without reservation.

our tenant's ac died during this horrific summer and Scary Cold shot us a straight answer and installed a new hvac system i'm just a couple days at a fair price. read more

It's a terrible feeling to realize that your AC is not cooling at the start of a weekend! I'm grateful that Scary Cold could come out on a Friday and get our AC back up and running. The COVID-19 pandemic is going on now and Ed communicated well, wore a mask and practiced social distancing. He replaced the start capacitor, explained the problem, and the whole thing only took about an hour. Highly recommended! read more

Scary Cold are responsive, dependable, and just great to deal with overall. Job was done quickly, effectively, and with no b.s. Blown capacitor and low pressure all fixed up first thing in the AM. Thanks guys! read more

We were at the tail end of a home remodel and the AC went out. We were supposed to move back into the house the next day with our week old baby. Ed's guys were out and had the unit fixed 3 hours after I called. This was in late-July, their busy season. They were slammed with other jobs but they were able to squeeze me in since it was an emergency. Ed even came out the next day to personally verify it had been fixed to his standards. Who does that? All that with some Austin style. The black van is sweet. I highly recommend Scary Cold AC. read more

Ed from Scary Cold makes AC issues in the TX summer heat much less terrifying. We called him when we needed a solution to our upstairs always being waaaay warmer than our arctic downstairs. We have old single pane windows and only one cold air return so things weren't circulating right. He installed another thermostat and these awesome robotic registers that close in one area when to focus AC into another, it worked perfectly! He even called to check if we were still as happy a couple of weeks later, which we totally were. Sounds pricy? Nope! Can there be reverse sticker shock? If so, that's what we had. He might shake his head slowly at you if you call him in a panic because your unit isn't pumping out cold air but your actual problem is that you never change your filter (not that we've ever done that... ahem...) but he's definitely not going to sell you a whole new AC system that you don't need (when other companies DID say that, what a rip!). This is one of those reviews I'm conflicted to write. I want to praise the awesome service we get from Ed, but I'm afraid more business generated from yelp will steal him away from us. He's prompt, smart and affordable. He used to work for an area HVAC service company but has recently started up his own thing. He seems to really like doing it, and he's already pretty busy. For now it seems like he's the only employee so it might be hard during busy times of year to get an appointment, but if you can, the service is personal and capable. read more

We heard about Ed from a friend through roller derby (he DJ's all the flat track games), and we're glad we did. We had a different company come out and install a Nest thermostat after our previous thermostat died a horrible death via exploding batteries. We then noticed that our fan was running constantly and blowing cold air when the actual AC unit wasn't running. Odd. Ed came out and told us that he's seen all kinds of trouble with Nests and how they're wired and uninstalled it for us. He gave us step by step instructions on how to contact the company to get a refund and how to get them to even refund his fee to uninstall it. AND he gave us a loaner thermostat until we could get our refund to buy a new one! His rate was completely reasonable, even though he knew we'd be getting it refunded by Nest. We had such a good experience we're working with him to replace our entire AC unit in the next few months. read more

Ed from Scary Cold AC is great! He is now our go to guy for any HVAC needs. He's very knowledgable and doesn't mind taking the time to explain the inner workings of your system and breakdown the actual issue for you so there aren't any questions as to what is being done. Communication was great all the way through setting up the appointment, having it start on time, and to completion of the work. He had the problem fixed and the unit working at an A level, but wasn't satisfied until he got to A+. I have confidence that the work he has done will last and his no BS work style ensures Scary Cold will be the first and only number I reach for in the future for HVAC work. read more

Ed and his team came out promptly to service our furnace. As our home was born in 1955, the unit had been updated but needed some improvements (REME in-duct air purifier installed, additional return vent installed, new plenum box). Very reasonable prices and best yet, our furnace is running much more efficiently (good timing with the cold blast we just had). I highly recommended for any AC and heating needs. read more

We whole heartedly recommend Scary Cold. We have used them for years at multiple properties - for maintenance, repairs and most recently a new system for an addition. They are exceedingly professional, trustworthy and respectful. read more

Used advanced equipment to determine that my 20-year-old air conditioner was actually performing like a brand new unit and didn't need to be cleaned or serviced in any way. Saved me thousands of dollars by being diligent and honest. Owner Ed did the visit himself and was very nice. read more

Ed @ scary cold came out to service and inspect our HVAC units and did a great job. Ed is straightforward, punctual, and knowledgeable. The service call was also budget friendly. Plus his van is pretty cool! read more

Ed was professional and the service was exceptional. He got the work done quickly. Will never use any other company for our repairs.

Ed from Scary Cold AC is awesome! Not only can he keep your house scary cold in summer, he can combat the scary cold in winter by fixing your furnace. We all know native Texans are weenies when it comes to colder weather and when we found ourselves going outside to warm up in late December, we knew something was wrong. Ed came out to take a look and had us all fixed up in no time. He was referred to us by a friend and there is definitely a reason why. He was honest, friendly, quick, thorough, and oh so easy on the pocketbook. No crazy up sells, no trying to do more than what was needed, no extra fees. Trusting folks in the HVAC industry is not an easy thing, especially when the average Joe just doesn't have the expertise to troubleshoot or DIY. Finding someone like Ed is invaluable to a homeowner. Scary Cold AC makes it not so scary. And we say 'HOORAY' to that! read more

Ed and his crew have been working on the AC units at my office (there are 4) for a few years with great results. So, when the time came for total AC replacement at my home I gave them a call. Needless to say, I made the right decision We made an appointment and the unit was installed the same week. One part from the unit manufacturer was defective, so they had a replacement part in and installed in one day. When I think of repair professionals, be it car or home or commercial, the most important aspect of doing business with them is the question "do I trust them"? Will they try to rip me off with unnecessary costs or upgrades? The answer for Scary Cold is that I trust them completely, and that gives me great piece of mind. I will work with them again! read more

Had an A.C. problem come up as I was about to leave for vacation. Eddie got there fast, solved the problem and made me laugh while the s@#t was hitting the fan (figuratively that is...) Good company, good people! read more

Ed and Taylor came out to fix my AC recently. They responded quickly to my call (at my house within 30 minutes) and did a great job. They're honest, and their prices are reasonable. I checked with one of the competitors in town, and Ed's price was about half of what the other company would have charged. I highly recommend Scary Cold. read more

I've called Ed twice for repairs on my really old AC, and they have always been able to quickly come and fix my AC for reasonable prices. These guys have always been honest and fair to deal with and I can't say enough good things about them. I recently had family visiting and my AC went out in the middle of the night. This is the peak of summer heat and I called Ed at 8am, he had someone at my house by 10am! They were able to repair my 20 year old AC and help me avoid a disaster. I will have them replace my entire system when things start to cool off. read more

We had our AC go out at 3:30pm on a 100 degree day. By 7:15 Scary Cold had a technician out to replace the broken part and have us cooling off again. I highly recommend this team! read more

These guys are very hardworking easy peeps to deal with. My AC went out and I really appreciated their hard work, especially in 100 heat. Very professional, nice, and great prices. I've recommended them, and will continue to do so. read more

Amazing, fast and accurate service. Ed came through when we needed him the most. He followed through with his promise and he got us back up and running at a very low cost. If your looking for someone you can trust to get the job done you should call Scary Cold! Tell him to put the lights on for the full experience:) read more

Absolutely the best AC/Heat guy in the universe! Ed has integrity and is the nicest service guy! He has always showed up on time and is excellent at explaining everything! Thank you so much for being the best and taking the stress out of getting my AC serviced. Customer for life! read more

Ed originally worked with our general contractor to design the AC and heat pump systems for our addition. When I accidentally tripped a fuse when monkeying with our Nest, I called Ed and he came out within an hour on a Saturday, despite his having other plans. He spent the time to not only to change the fuse but to wait with me while the Nest came online (we didn't have him install, unfortunately) and also patiently taught me some principals about how our heat pump system and nest works. Like others mentioned on yelp, he has integrity and pride of work. We are using him for all of our AC and heat work in the future! read more

Friendly people, honest, and reasonable prices. Highly recommend. We had a TXV repair done that took around 3 hours of labor. Comparing prices online, we got a good deal. read more

When my a/c goes out I need someone to call, but most importantly I need someone I can trust. I trust Ed and his employees. Great service and a great price! read more

My AC stopped blowing cold air yesterday and I called around and this place was the only one that answered. Although they were booked up all day, he still came to take a look at my AC the same day. He found the problem and fixed the AC within 15 minutes. The price for the fix was more than fair. He was very professional and reliable with great communication read more

They came here on very short notice to fix one of the AC units in the middle of July, did great work, were total professionals, and the price was more than fair. read more

Eddie and his team did an amazing job!! Quick response, focused on making the right repairs and getting the system working again at a good and reasonable price! I highly recommend Scary Cold AC!! read more

Amazingly fast, knowledgeable and skilled! They had us up and rockin' cold air in just hours!! Invaluable when it's 100°outside.

Good company. Called at 8:30pm on a Tuesday night and my air was fixed by 2pm on Wednesday. Shot me straight, fixed our AC problem for a great price! Will be hiring them again!! read more

Ed is the best! He's punctual and super friendly. He always takes the time to explain what he's doing, and why. I'm a fan, and will def continue to use his services for the future. read more

Woke up on Saturday of July 4th weekend and AC had stopped. I called about 8 places and only about 50% even bothered to call me back, just to say they couldn't help me until Monday. Scary Cold called back within the hour and was there within 45 minutes after that. The guy was normal, professional and fast. In and out in 30 minutes and only cost me $90. read more

Scary Cold AC is the BEST! They were able to get us fixed and cooled off within hours of our call. Quality service, knowledgeable, honest and local business that we are happy to support for the prompt courteous service we received. Their van is pretty cool too! read more

Ed is amazing! He's incredibly knowledgeable, honest, reliable, and fair on price. He is my go-to-guy. I've recommended him to half a dozen people, and he's made lifelong customers out of them. They will come out on short notice, and stay late to finish a job. My 18 year-old AC unit has been slowly dying for the past two years, and Ed has come out to service it a number of times. Eventually, I went through my Home Warranty company to replace my unit (which I told Ed), still, he was happy to help along the way, and armed me with all the information I needed to negotiate with my Home Warranty company and their installers. read more
