Home Comfort Guarantee

Our Promise, Written Down

A quote that holds for 72 hours, technicians you can let in, and work we come back for if it is not right. These are the terms, in plain language.

What to Expect

A Guarantee You Can Actually Read

Every company says it stands behind its work. What matters is what that means on the day something goes wrong: whether the price you were quoted is the price you pay, who shows up at your door, and what happens if the fix does not hold.

The Home Comfort Guarantee answers those questions before you book. It covers our HVAC work, including installation, repair and maintenance; our drain and sewer work, including cleaning, repair and replacement of lines with accessible cleanouts; and our plumbing work, from emergency repairs to new installations. The commitments, the exclusions and what we do when there is a problem are all below.

  • The Price Is Set Before We Start An accurate quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees, honored for 72 hours.
  • The Person at Your Door Every technician is trained, background-checked and bonded, for your protection against damage or liability.
  • A Company That Is Still Here Serving Austin and San Antonio since 1999. A guarantee is only as good as who is behind it.

Our Guarantees

Five Commitments on Every Job

The terms as we state them, not as a slogan.

  • Accurate Quote, Honored for 72 Hours You receive an accurate quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees. The guaranteed quote is valid for 72 hours.
  • Trained, Background-Checked, Bonded All of our technicians are trained, background-checked and bonded, to give you peace of mind against any potential damages or liabilities.
  • 100% Customer Satisfaction If you are not completely satisfied, we will work with you to make it right. If we are unable to resolve the issue, we will offer a 10% inconvenience refund, up to $1,000.
  • Manager-Reviewed HVAC Installs Any HVAC install over $3,000 is certified and quality-reviewed internally by a manager to make sure workmanship, quality and standards were met. If there is an issue with the install, we come out and make it right.
  • No Backups After Drain or Sewer Work We guarantee no backup after drain clearing or sewer replacement. If drainage backs up or slows, we come out at no charge to check it. If it is related to our work, we make it right.

Something not right after we left?

Call us. That is exactly what the guarantee is for.

Guarantee Questions

How long is my quote good for?

72 hours from the time we give it to you. That is enough time to talk it over, compare it, or sleep on it without the number changing. If you come back after 72 hours, we will re-quote, and in most cases the price will be the same, but the 72-hour window is what we guarantee.

The quote is accurate and complete, with no hidden fees. If the job turns out to need something we did not anticipate, we stop and get your approval before doing anything additional.

What does the no-backup promise on drain work cover?

Two kinds of work: drain clearing and sewer line replacement. If your drainage backs up or slows after either one, call us and we will come out at no charge to check it. If the problem is related to our work, we make it right.

If the camera shows something unrelated, such as a separate line, roots in a section we did not touch, or a new obstruction that was flushed later, we will show you what we found and quote that separately, with the same 72-hour guarantee. See our drains and sewers page for how we approach the work in the first place.

What happens if I am not satisfied with the work?

First, we work with you to make it right. That usually means sending a technician back out to repair the faulty work or replace a defective covered part. If we are unable to resolve the issue to your satisfaction, we offer a 10% inconvenience refund, up to $1,000.

The one thing we ask is prompt reporting: let us know within 30 days of the issue occurring, so we can address it while the cause is still clear.

Does the guarantee cover a part I bought myself?

No. Parts not supplied by Radiant are not covered, because we cannot verify where they came from, whether they are the right specification, or how they were stored. We are happy to install a customer-supplied part in some situations, but the guarantee applies to our workmanship only, not to the part.

The same goes for work another company alters after we leave. Once a system has been modified by someone else, our guarantee on that work no longer applies.

Do I need to keep up maintenance for the guarantee to stay valid?

Yes. The guarantee is valid when regular maintenance is performed as recommended and the equipment is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. That is also what most manufacturer warranties require, so it protects both.

The easiest way to stay on schedule is Care Club, which includes two annual HVAC tune-ups on an enrolled system and an annual whole-home plumbing safety inspection, with the visits on our calendar rather than yours.

What to Know Before You Start

Exclusions, Conditions and Remedies

Being clear about the limits is part of being honest about the promise.

Exclusions and Limitations

The following are not covered under our guarantees:

  • Normal wear and tear: issues that arise from regular use and aging of equipment.
  • Customer-provided parts: no warranty is provided for parts not supplied by Radiant.
  • Unauthorized modifications: any work that has been altered or modified by another service provider voids our guarantee.
  • Extreme conditions: damage caused by natural disasters, wildlife, accidents, misuse or neglect.

Conditions for the Guarantee

The guarantee applies when these conditions are met:

  • Proper usage: equipment must be used as per manufacturer instructions.
  • Regular maintenance: the guarantee is valid only if regular maintenance is performed as recommended.
  • Prompt reporting: any issues must be reported to us within 30 days of their occurrence.

Resolution and Remedies

Depending on the nature of the issue, we will:

  • Repair the faulty work or part.
  • Replace any defective parts covered under the guarantee.
  • Refund your payment if the problem cannot be resolved to your satisfaction.

Customer Responsibilities

To keep the service running smoothly, we ask that you:

  • Provide access: make sure the service area is accessible and safe for our technicians.
  • Accurate information: give us accurate details about the issue and any previous work done.
  • Cooperation: work with our service team during the diagnosis and repair process.

Modifications

<p>Radiant reserves the right to modify these terms at any time. Any changes will be communicated to customers prior to taking effect. If anything here is unclear, ask before the work starts. We would rather spend ten minutes explaining it than have you find out at the wrong moment.</p>

Our 18 year old HVAC system finally gave out this past week, so we reached out to Radiant to see what could be done. They sent a tech out named Bryan the same day, and he did a great job looking over the entire HVAC system. He was friendly and helpful in explaining everything that he saw, and our options moving forward. We decided to replace the entire system, so we met with Jacob (same day thankfully) to find the best HVAC system for our needs. Jacob was friendly, professional, and did a great job explaining the different options on offer. Radiant was able to set-up next day install, which was much appreciated, because the temps were still going to be cold in the coming days.

The install team consisted of Carlos and Pablo, who were very courteous and professional, and were kind enough to answer any questions I had regarding the install. They did a great job installing our new HVAC system, and were tidy which is always appreciated! Before they left, they explained everything that had been done, and showed me photos of the work.

Our entire experience from start to finish was great. I appreciate that they send photos of who is coming to your home too. Friendly, kind, professional team members, and good work all the way around. Thanks Radiant!

This is the first time I’ve used radiant my neighbor recommended them…. I called them today and they set me up an appointment on the same day. I was totally shocked at that and the service call was only $39!!…. Highly recommend them Danielle showed up and he was a great guy and he put up with all my wishy-washiness and I had to hurry him because I was heading to church and he got caught in a lot of traffic getting here he even would’ve installed the part that broke but I Didn’t have the time tonight….. He was patient with me and just told me to call the office first thing in the morning and get a service call set up…. Thank you so much Radiant!!….
With another cold front coming in tomorrow now I just hope they can get me scheduled for a separate call tomorrow but I have a feeling they will. They are such a great company!!😊😊

I had Radiant Plumbing replace my tankless water heater, damaged in the Feb. 2021 snowmageddon storm with a new unit. The process was smooth and professional from start to finish. The plumber, James, was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly explained my options to me. The cost and time to perform the installation were just as estimated. When he was done, James explained how to maintain the system, what service would be needed and how to perform it, and answered all of my engineering geek questions. It was a thoroughly positive experience. I have used several different plumbers in Austin over the past 15 yrs, but my search is over - I will not hesitate to call Radiant next time and would recommend them unreservedly.

8/9/23 Update: I have subsequently used Radiant for a toilet repair, faucet installation (Danny), and drain work (Ezekiel) and they have continued to impress with knowledgeable, friendly plumbers and quality work.
