If you’ve noticed HVAC repairs or replacements getting pricier year after year, you’re not imagining things. Global supply shifts, new efficiency standards, and rising material costs are making heating and cooling systems more expensive—and waiting to upgrade could leave you sweating through another scorching Texas summer. But don’t worry, Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning is here to help. With upfront pricing, 24/7 availability, and trusted expertise in Austin and San Antonio, we’ll guide you through the challenges and make sure you stay cool in 2025.

Why Are HVAC Costs Going Up?

Supply Pressures Are Driving Up Prices

Since 2020, supply chain disruptions and increased demand for energy-efficient components have driven up the cost of HVAC materials. From copper wiring to high-tech compressors, manufacturers are facing delays and price hikes, which get passed down to homeowners.

Older Refrigerant Systems Are Getting Too Expensive to Maintain

If your current system uses outdated refrigerants like R-22, you’re likely paying more for repairs. As the industry phases out older refrigerants, supply dwindles, making servicing these systems cost-prohibitive. By 2025, these costs will only climb higher, making an upgrade not just a smart choice but a necessary one.

Beat the Summer Rush Before It’s Too Late

Texas summers are no joke. When the heat soars, so does the demand for HVAC repairs and replacements. Parts become scarce, and technician schedules fill up fast. Radiant prioritizes urgent needs with 24/7 emergency service, weekend installations, and transparent scheduling—so you’re never left waiting in the heat.

The Clock is Ticking on Refrigerant Supply

By 2025, older refrigerant supplies will be even harder to find, making repairs to outdated systems increasingly expensive. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, upgrading now can save you from an expensive emergency repair down the line.
