Hi, I’m Dalai
Owner of Astronaut Cooling & Heating.

I started this company because I saw how many homeowners were getting upsold, overcharged, and misled by companies that care more about sales than doing the job right.

If you have ever had a technician try to sell you something that did not feel right, you are not alone. That is exactly what pushed me to build something different.

Here, the goal is simple. Do honest work. Fix problems correctly. And treat people the way I would want my own family treated.

Built on Real Experience

Not sales training

I have over 10 years of hands-on HVAC and refrigeration experience here in Texas. I have held a Class A HVAC Contractor License since 2022 and have worked on everything from residential systems to commercial equipment and refrigeration.

Before starting Astronaut Cooling & Heating, I worked in high-level technical roles, including robotics systems. That background gave me a deeper understanding of how complex systems actually work, not just how to sell them.

I also instructed at Austin Community College teaching HVAC night classes and graduated 35 adult students.

Then right before starting Astronaut, I successfully managed and trained teams for multiple other HVAC companies.

Most companies train technicians to follow scripts. I trained to diagnose, understand, and solve problems.

No Pressure. No Games. Just Straight Answers

My approach is simple

Fix what needs to be fixed
Replace only when it actually makes sense
Explain everything clearly so you can make the right decision

You will never get pushed into something you do not need. If there is a way to save your system, I will show you. If replacement is the smarter move, I will explain why.

Most of my customers call me back because they trust what I say, not because I try to sell them something.

You Call Me. You Get Me

When you call Astronaut Cooling & Heating, you are not getting a call center or a random technician.

You are getting me.

That means faster response times, better communication, and someone who actually cares about the outcome of the job.

I take pride in doing things right the first time, because my name is on every job.

Serving Austin Homes and Businesses

I am based right here in Austin and work with both residential and commercial customers.

Whether it is a home system that is not keeping up, a full system replacement, or refrigeration equipment that needs to stay running, I bring the same level of care and attention to every job.

In Texas heat, this is not just comfort. It is necessary.

If You Want It Done Right

If you are looking for honest work, clear communication, and someone who actually knows what they are doing, I would be glad to help.

Call or text anytime. I have you covered.
