HVAC and Ductless Air Conditioner Service in Buda, TX

Buda homeowners call us for everything from AC repair to a ductless air conditioner for a room the main system cannot reach. The town began as Du Pre, platted in 1881 on the International-Great Northern line, and took its current name in 1887. Buda incorporated in 1948 and stayed small for decades, then more than doubled from 7,295 people in 2010 to 15,108 in 2020. Onion Creek winds through the northwest side of town. From homes near the shops at Buda Mill & Grain to the newer neighborhoods off I-35 by Cabela’s, Gold Eagle Services helps Buda families with heating, cooling and indoor air.

Older homes near Main Street often have the most character and the fewest good places to run ductwork, while the newest homes out by the interstate have plenty of attic room but systems chosen quickly during construction. The fixes below are sorted with that in mind.

A ductless air conditioner fits Buda’s older homes especially well, because it needs no ductwork at all, and it is just as useful for a garage, addition or workshop in a newer home. Gold Eagle Services is a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor, and we install and repair ductless mini-splits and ductless air conditioners for one room or several. Multi-zone systems can serve three or four rooms from a single outdoor unit, which suits an older house that never had central air at all.

For central systems, our AC repair team checks airflow and charge before blaming the equipment. Our heating services cover heat pumps and furnaces, and a pre-winter tune-up is worth it for any heat pump home. Thinking about replacement? Build your system online to compare options.

• March: rinse spring dust and pollen off the outdoor coil and change the filter.
• April: when the Lions Club wiener dog races come around, it is time to schedule your cooling tune-up.
• July: check the drain line and the attic air handler pan.
• August: hose off the outdoor unit after dry, dusty weeks.
• October: test heat pump backup heat before the first norther.
• December to February: use better filtration through cedar season and check the daily air quality index.
• Any season: ask about our indoor air quality services for dust, humidity or odors.

Our Home Maintenance Plan handles the spring and fall visits for you.

Buda’s wiener dog races, run each spring by the local Lions Club, have drawn national attention to this small railroad town.

Bonus: local tradition says the name Buda comes from the Spanish word viuda, or widow, after the widows said to have cooked at the Carrington Hotel by the tracks. And the six-block downtown, with 28 historic buildings, joined the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
