Fred Roeper

Fred Roeper operates a family owned HVAC company based in Austin Texas. The business carries forward the legacy of founder Fred Roper who entered the trade right after high school in 1952 and spent decades handling boilers sheet metal and service work before launching the outfit in 1978 alongside his wife. What started with long hours and a handful of hires in a smaller town expanded steadily as the area grew and more homes needed reliable heating and cooling. The operation stayed in family hands after a 2012 transfer and continues to focus on straightforward HVAC work for local homeowners facing the demands of Texas weather and older housing stock.

Technicians handle routine maintenance calls furnace repairs and full air conditioning installations along with emergency fixes when units fail during peak summer loads. Crews respond to issues like compressor breakdowns thermostat problems and ductwork leaks that leave rooms uncomfortable or drive up energy bills. In practice this means arriving with the right parts diagnosing the system on site and completing the repair without unnecessary delays or return trips. Homeowners in Austin often deal with heavy AC use from May through October so the crew prioritizes quick turnaround on service requests to keep indoor temperatures stable and systems running efficiently through the hottest months.

Customers consistently note fast response times clear explanations of what needs fixing and solid results that last without repeat visits. The high marks come from reliable scheduling fair pricing on both small repairs and larger jobs and technicians who show up prepared and finish cleanly. That steady record of quality work at reasonable cost builds the kind of repeat business and referrals that matter in a competitive local market. DIRT Score 4.96 from 478 reviews on Finds.

“Ropers Wrecker Service is the best!!! I needed a tow to the tire shop. Very quick to respond after I requested them. Not sure who the lady was that called me to let me know the wrecker was on the way but she was very professional on the phone. Dylan, the wrecker driver showed up within about 10 minutes. He was very professional when it came to his job. He handled loading and unloading my car with care. I rode in the wrecker to the tire shop. He was very careful with his driving as well. I would definitely recommend Ropers Wrecker Service and Dylan for all your towing needs.”

“I had a great experience with Roper Wrecker Service, specifically thanks to Dylan. My VW died and was difficult to move, my apartment complex has very strict parking rules and my reserved parking spot is a tricky, tight spot for my car, let alone for a tow truck to place my car. Instead of taking the easy way out, Dylan put in the extra effort to carefully maneuver my car exactly into my reserved spot. He was professional, capable, and went above and beyond. Highly recommended!”

“I own 6 storage companies and use these guys exclusively for abandoned cars, 18 wheeler trucks and trailers. Service, communication, expediency, professionalism is world class. Love working with Paulina and James. James came by yesterday and went out of his way to patiently remove an end dump in bad shape and Kevin (fleet manager) was nice enough to work out logistics for me. I am definitely a customer for life :)...”

“Huge shoutout to Dylan at Roper Wrecker Service! He towed my immovable, broken-down VW to my apartment complex and went way above and beyond. My reserved parking spot is a nightmare to get into because of tight angles, trees, and poles. Dylan didn't hesitate to put in the extra time and effort to maneuver my car exactly where it needed to be so I wouldn't violate my complex's parking rules. Fantastic attitude, extremely skilled, and amazing service. Thank you, Dylan!”
