Landlord AC
Replacement Special
Round Rock & Austin Area
Flat-rate pricing on Carrier-built Payne AC systems, professionally installed by our Koala-fied licensed technicians.

Why Landlords Choose Koala Cooling
Replacing an AC in a rental property is different from replacing one in your own home. You need predictable costs, fast turnaround, and a team that won't make your tenants miserable during the process. Here's what sets us apart for landlords:

Heads up on electrical upgrades: If existing wire size or breaker capacity isn't adequate for the heat kit, we'll let you know during the quote. You'll have two options: hire an electrician to upgrade, or have us install a smaller heat kit that works with the existing electrical system.

Gas systems use a gas furnace for heating and an outdoor AC for cooling — typically lower up-front cost, slightly higher utility bills in summer, lower in winter. Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit — higher up-front cost but better year-round efficiency, and tenants in newer Texas homes often prefer them. We can recommend the better fit during your site visit.
Standard installs happen during weekday business hours, but we can accommodate weekend installs by special request for an additional fee. Just let us know during the quote process.
