AfterHVAC Company in Manchaca, TX
Meadowsweet Heating & Air is the HVAC company Manchaca families call for repair and installation across a housing market that’s genuinely split in two. One side of FM 1626 holds 1970s ranch homes with ductwork retrofitted through attics that hit 150°F in July. The other side holds post-2010 subdivisions where builder-grade equipment is already wearing through warranty periods. That mix means our crews see both ends of the spectrum on the same day, and we carry parts and training for all of it. Call (747) 966-3037 for live, 24/7 scheduling.
Why Manchaca Homes Are Different
Manchaca sits unincorporated in Travis County, which changes the paperwork behind every job. Permits and inspections run through Travis County Development Services, not Austin’s building department. Homeowners who’ve lived in other parts of the metro get caught by that distinction, and plenty of contractors do too. We handle the county-side permitting on installations so families don’t have to puzzle through it themselves.
The housing stock splits along older ranch homes from the 1970s through 1990s and newer subdivisions built after 2010. The older homes in the Shady Hollow area and along Brodie Lane often had central air added in the 1990s, with flex duct run through pier-and-beam crawl spaces or uninsulated attics. Decades of clay-soil movement under Travis County means that duct separates at the boots, sags, or collapses, and it’s frequently misdiagnosed as a refrigerant or equipment problem. The newer builds are tighter, but their equipment tends to be builder-grade, and we’re already seeing warranty issues crop up in units under five years old. Manchaca’s location at the southern fringe of the metro also exposes it more directly to the cold snaps that freeze heat-pump coils, the kind of event February 2021 proved isn’t theoretical here.
Our Main Manchaca Services
Most Manchaca homeowners call us for two reasons: an AC system that quit on a July afternoon, or a furnace that won’t fire on a January morning. Both have dedicated pages below, and both are backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
AC Repair in Manchaca
Repair calls here split between older systems we can honestly fix and older systems that have reached the end of their useful life. When a 1990s R-22 unit in a farmhouse attic starts losing charge, our technicians check the ductwork before the refrigerant, because the collapsed flex duct common to Manchaca’s retrofitted homes often looks like an equipment failure. A written price comes before any work starts, and shoe covers and drop cloths go down before the crew walks in. Read the full breakdown on our AC Repair in Manchaca page.
Furnace Repair in Manchaca
Travis County cold snaps are the pressure test for Manchaca’s furnaces, and the older ranch stock doesn’t always pass. Gas furnaces in the area’s pier-and-beam homes need regular attention to burner assemblies and heat exchangers, partly because of the crawl-space moisture that comes with clay soil. We service equipment from Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard, which covers nearly everything in the local housing stock. The full scope is on our Furnace Repair in Manchaca page.
AC Installation in Manchaca
Replacing a central air system in Manchaca often means fixing what the original installer did to the ducts. On the older ranch lots, we size new equipment to the actual ductwork and attic conditions, not just square footage, because a high-efficiency unit paired with leaking, collapsed flex duct still won’t cool the house. In the newer subdivisions, we’re frequently replacing builder-grade equipment that underperformed from day one. Every installation includes a written fixed price and a set install date, and we handle the Travis County permitting. Details are on our AC Installation in Manchaca page.

FAQs About HVAC Company in Manchaca
For most repair calls in Manchaca, we can have a technician out the same day, and emergency calls are answered by a live person around the clock, weekends and holidays included. The area’s compact geography along FM 1626 and Brodie Lane means our Austin-dispatched crews can reach most Manchaca homes within a short window.
Because Manchaca is unincorporated Travis County, AC and furnace installations typically require a permit through Travis County Development Services, not the City of Austin. Meadowsweet handles the county-side permitting on system replacements and new installations, so the homeowner isn’t left filing paperwork. Repairs and tune-ups generally don’t require one. Call (747) 966-3037 to confirm what applies to your specific job.
Yes. On every visit, our technicians put on shoe covers at the door and lay drop cloths across the work path and work area, which keeps attic dust and debris off your floors, rugs, and play spaces. Before the crew leaves, they send a photo of the clean-up. It’s part of the Cedarwell Care Promise, not an add-on.

What Manchaca Customers Say
"Comfortable in every room now, and not a trace that a crew had been here. Booties, drop cloths, the works. They even wiped down the thermostat they'd handled. Really considerate."
- Lamar Finch"New system install. They protected the hallway floor all the way to the attic and vacuumed after. Worked quietly around my work calls. Not a trace left behind."
- Rosalind Okeke"AC repair in July. The tech laid a mat down by the indoor unit and wore booties through the house. Fixed it fast and left zero mess. Quiet and kind, good with our nervous dog too."
