Vacek-Anderson Air Conditioning

Vacek-Anderson Air Conditioning runs out of Colorado County, Texas, where it has handled HVAC work for homes since 1975. Ernie and Paula Frnka bought the outfit in 2005 and kept it local, carrying on sales and service for cooling units plus appliances. They stock Lennox systems and similar brands that stand up to the area's hot summers and occasional cold snaps. Homeowners in Columbus and nearby spots turn to them for everything from quick fixes to full replacements, knowing the crew understands the local conditions and sticks to straightforward methods that get the job done without extra layers.

The team handles service calls for broken condensers, units that shut down without warning, and full installs like Trane systems that leave houses comfortable year round. A tech named Dylan once arrived within an hour on a Saturday night, crawled through a cramped attic to run a full check, and walked the owner through each finding before wrapping up. Other jobs include Sunday morning arrivals by 11 to restore cooling with no follow-up issues, or next-day visits after a late-night breakdown that had the system back online inside an hour. Crews show up on time, work clean, and avoid leaving debris or half-finished spots around the house.

Homeowners note the crew's consistent speed on weekend and evening calls, the solid quality of repairs that hold without callbacks, and prices that stay reasonable for the work completed. Communication stays direct, with techs explaining problems as they go instead of using vague terms, and the overall neatness means no extra cleanup after the fact. These points add up across the feedback for a reliable local option in HVAC. DIRT Score 4.67 from 24 reviews on Finds.

“We can't say enough good things about A-Anderson. Every person the company sent was on time, professional, knowledgeable, thorough, neat -- everything you want but never get. They made no messes and left no messes. And our Trane! We're in HVAC heaven. If you want a good company to come into your home and take care of your needs, call A-Anderson. (This may sound like an ad, but it's NOT. It's a very happy homeowner.)”

“Called on Sunday morning and they were out around 11am and fixed our AC. No issues.”

“I called on a Saturday evening because my condenser was making loud noises. Dylan arrived within an hour and did a thorough diagnostic check and was able to identify the problem after lots of crawling in my tiny attic space. He was very thorough and communicated the issues along the way. Great service!”

“System shut down about 10:30 at night. Called and service tech was there by the arranged appointment the next morning. Unit was running within the hour. Great to deal with and reasonable repair.”

“I called for repair service to AC after hours last night. I told them my AC suddenly stopped cooling and I needed a repairman asap. First of all, and to my surprise someone answered right away. She was friendly, caring and to my surprise, gave me a next day morning appointment. I was pleasantly surprised given the time of year, but thankful. Stacy McManus A-Anderson Air Condition Heating Electric & Refrigeration came and repaired my AC unit this morning and I’m happy to say that my house is cool again. My son interacted with him as I was at work but he was impressed with Stacy’s knowledge and professionalism. I’m glad to know that there is still a company out there who still believe in good professional service. Did I mention that my neighbor referred me. She too was impressed and was happy to share her experience with me. We are both two happy and cool women in Rowlett, Texas. Thank you A-Anderson, I will be calling on you for all my AC needs. I will also be sharing my experience with my other neighbors.”
