Spicer Mechanical

I've had multiple AC/Heating guys do work over the years. Rick Spicer is BY FAR the best. Fast, effective and reasonable. Love this guy. So glad a found a gem.

Rick Spicer has been our hvac man for 22 years.  22 years ago he replaced our entire hvac system, both the upstairs and the downstairs.  He helped us select which one to buy, and he knew what he was doing.  It was a job that several other hvac contractors would not take because they said installation was too difficult. Rick Spicer just came in an got it done.  We rarely had any problems with it, but when we did we would call him and if it was either hot or cold, he was always there to fix it either the day we called or the next day.  He is honest, and he is very competent.  He won't try to sell you a part or a repair that you don't need, and he will patiently explain in words that you can understand exactly what he fixed and how he fixed it, and if it is something you can do he will show you how to do it for the next time if it happens again.  Most of the time the repairs were fast.  On the few times that they were more significant, he had it fixed by the day after we called.  We have never had to go more than one day without our hvac working on days that we needed them.  We sold that home and moved to a new one 15 years later, never having had an expensive repair, because he selected the right system and always fixed problems before they got out of hand.  He has provided service for the house we moved to for 7 years now, and even though he did not install the system, he is always comes over either the day we call or the next day when we need him to and he always knows exactly how to fix it.  During the Big Freeze of February 2021 one of our water lines burst above in the downstairs ceiling.  I called him and he told us how to stop it, without turning off the water to our entire house.  He was out the next day and repaired the pipe, fast, so he could get to the hundred other customers that were frantically calling him as fast as he could.  And the repair worked.  Our upstairs ac stopped working yesterday afternoon when it 100+ outside, and he came over today and fixed it, and showed me how to fix the problem if it ever happens again.  When the time comes to replace our hvac, he will definitely be the one to do it.  We will buy whatever system he recommends, because he knows which are the best, most reliable and long lasting systems.  I can not recommend Rick highly enough: you will never be sorry you called him.  There is a reason he gets so many 5 star reviews.  The name of his company is Spicer Mechanical, and his number is 512-913-4907.

Super satisfied!   Rick was filling in for my normal AC guy that took some vacation.  (can you imagine?!!  LOL)  Well, anyway...my system decided to take it a vacation too...Spicer Mechanical's number was left on my guy's voicemail to contact.   Not being one of Rick's regular customers,  and a Saturday to boot,  I figured I'd get ignored.   NOT TRUE!   He returned my message in less than an hour,  worked me into his busy schedule,  (plus filling in my AC guy's schedule) showed up,  spotted the problem almost immediately,  showed me the issue,  and had the part on the truck.    Awesome!

Great job on AC repair.  Honest knowledgeable and independent.   Gave me over the phone recommendations first to try and avoid a service call.

I can see why Spicer has a 1000% batting average! Rick is a fantastic HV/AC resource! I couldn't have been more pleased. He located the problem, whereas another company had not and remedied the problem in about 30 minutes, and at a phenomenally affordable rate. Also, he is a nice guy. Thanks, Rick.

Competent. Honest. Fair prices. No drama.  Why can't all service professionals be like this?  Highly recommended.

I agree with all other reviewers and feel blessed to have come across a wonderful professional like Rick at Spicer Mechanical!

I've been using Rick for nearly 20 years now. The amount of positive things I could write here is near endless. The honesty and not screw you over business model are the most important attributes. It is stunning, the amount of knowledge he has. If it is in, near or around your house, he can fix it.

Rick is my go to expert for HVAC, appliance repair, and light maintenance for over 10 years on my personal home and investment properties. I've been in the real estate industry for over 16 years and I am particular about who I refer. He is professional, kind, reliable and honest.

My A/C went out on my birthday and I called Fox Services who had worked on the unit before; it was going to be almost 4 days before they could get to me! My brother-in-law gave me Rick Spicer's information; I called him around 8 am, by 5 pm he had been to my house and fixed my A/C. The total charges were LESS than what Fox would have charged for an emergency call that wouldn't have included parts & labor. Rick is honest & knowledgeable, he shows up when he says & does what he promises...I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Rick is our go-to AC guy!  Even though he was extremely busy due to the Texas summer - he worked us in right way and now we are COOL again!

Spicer Mechanical is very professional, on time, honest, and dependable. Spicer Mechanical has been the only answer for so many of my homeowner needs....heating & a/c, plumbing, electrical, appliance installation & repair and I even had them hang my flatscreen tv and hook up my surround sound. I don't think there is anything they cannot do. You'd be totally crazy to call anyone else.

After owning a couple homes and living in Austin for most of my life, I've finally found an HVAC person who is trustworthy, reliable, and competent. My furnace has had such a bad history; shortly after buying the house 5 years ago, I discovered a part that was going out (induced draft motor). The home warranty people wouldn't replace until it completely died (I got rid of them instead). Then, I went to the old standby company I used to use (Strand), told them I didn't have money for a new system, and yet they tried to sell me and scare me that soon I wouldn't be able to get parts. Their estimate was twice the price Rick Spicer actually charged.  He was completely honest and assured me if well maintained for my furnace could have years and years of life left in it. I learned a big lesson. Thanks Rick for the excellent service at a great price.

After building a home, rental property and a business in the Lakeway area, Rick is one of the very few good guys I have found in the business. He is timely, knowledgeable and actually seems to care about building a network of happy, returning clients rather than make a living by ripping off first time clients in dire need. Rick does not leave until the job is done properly; he even takes the time to clean up after himself. I am among those happy clients and absolutely recommend Spicer Mechanical!

Rick has come to our house twice, once for a dryer and once for a washer.  He is very knowledgeable and friendly.  I find him to be honest and fair.  He is used by a couple of my neighbors as well. I would recommend him.
