About MLD Services, LLC
Founded in 2009 by owner Mike Dodge, MLD Services is an education-first HVAC company serving Leander and the Hill Country corridor with residential and light-commercial heating, cooling, and indoor air quality solutions. The team prioritizes honest assessments over aggressive sales tactics, repair-first recommendations over unnecessary replacements, and transparent flat-rate pricing before any work begins.
Leander's long cooling season (roughly seven months annually with routine triple-digit summer temperatures) requires systems built for durability and efficiency. MLD Services addresses this reality with NATE-certified technicians, proper system sizing via Manual J calculations, professional maintenance programs, and education about Central Texas-specific challenges like the 2025 refrigerant transition from R-410A to R-454B.
The team delivers same-day appointments when available, lifetime workmanship warranties on installations and repairs, a free second opinion on competitor quotes, and a clean-home promise that includes shoe covers and post-job cleanup. Maintenance plans bundle seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and repair discounts to prevent expensive summer failures.

Questions people ask
How often should an AC be serviced in Central Texas?
At least once yearly, ideally a spring tune-up before cooling season. Central Texas runs its AC roughly seven months per year, far longer than most of the country, which is why regular maintenance prevents expensive breakdowns during peak demand and helps maintain efficiency.
Does skipping AC maintenance save money?
No. In Central Texas, skipped maintenance usually costs more. A deferred tune-up lets a worn capacitor or dirty coil drag down efficiency until the system fails under 100-degree-plus heat, turning a low-cost seasonal visit into an emergency repair or compressor replacement at the worst time. Maintenance is the cheapest insurance against a summer failure.
What are the signs my AC needs repair?
Strange sounds or smells, weak or uneven airflow, water leaks from the indoor unit, higher-than-normal electric bills, and difficulty maintaining set temperatures are early warnings. Call MLD for a free diagnostic assessment before a small issue becomes a costly breakdown.
What maintenance plans does MLD offer?
Three tiers: Comfort (annual 10-point tune-up, $25/month), Preferred (two seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, $40/month), and Executive (two tune-ups, included filters, waived service fees, 24-hour response, $75/month). All plans include precision multi-point checks and priority member scheduling.
