Cooling services

Four things we do to an air conditioner.

Each has its own page with what it costs to ignore, what we check, and what your neighbors said afterwards.

01

AC repair

Not cooling, ice on the lines, a breaker that trips. Diagnosis first, a price before work, most repairs finished in one visit.

Repair, all locations →

02

AC installation

New builds and additions, sized with a load calculation rather than the old nameplate. Installed clean and tested under load.

Installation →

03

AC replacement

When a 12 to 15 year old system is on its third repair, the honest answer is a new one. Repair price and replacement price side by side.

Replacement →

04

AC maintenance

The cheapest repair is the one that never happens. Seasonal tune-ups, and maintenance plan members save up to $300 a year.

Two home bases

Two home bases, and your AC call goes to the nearer one.

We dispatch from two working home bases, which is why same-day* means what it says on both sides of the metro. Pick yours for the local number, the neighborhoods we reach fastest, and reviews from your side of town.

Every visit starts the same way on either side of town: the fault, the fix and the number before any work starts, and a straight answer on repair versus replace.

Lifespan

How long an AC lasts in a Texas summer

A North Texas air conditioner works a longer season than the same unit would almost anywhere else in the country. It carries the house through 100 degree afternoons from June into September and it runs plenty of days either side of that. The equipment is built for it, but the hours add up, and the honest answer to how long yours will last is a range rather than a number.

What pushes a system to the short end of the range is nearly always the same list: no annual service, a condenser coil that has never been washed, a filter left in months past its date, a refrigerant charge that drifted years ago and was never corrected, and a unit that was oversized when it went in and has short cycled every summer since. What pushes it to the long end is a tune-up each spring and a technician who writes the readings down, so drift shows up while it is still cheap.

What is the average lifespan of an AC unit in Texas?

Twelve to fifteen years is the working range most systems here land in, with well-maintained equipment reaching the top of it and neglected equipment falling short. We will not pretend a number applies to your system without looking at it: the age, the coil, the compressor and the service history are what actually decide it.

How many years should an AC unit last?

If it is serviced every year and the ductwork is not fighting it, plan on the low to mid teens and budget to replace it before it fails rather than after. Once a system is past twelve and on its third repair the arithmetic usually favors replacing it, and we will put both numbers in front of you rather than tell you which one to pick.

Cleaner air, too

Three things that make a cool house a healthy one.

Duct cleaning

  • Construction dust and a decade of pet hair, out of the ducts
  • Better airflow to the rooms that never quite cool

Duct cleaning →

Air purification

  • Whole-house filtration for allergy season in Kaufman and Dallas counties
  • Sized to the system, not bolted on

Air purification →

UV lights

  • Keeps the indoor coil clean in a humid Texas summer
  • Fewer musty smells from the vents

What it costs

What AC service costs in Forney, TX

Cooling work is priced per job and agreed before a technician starts, not added up afterwards. Here is what the number is built from.

Diagnostic visit

$45

Per visit. You hear the fault and the repair price before any work starts.

Most repairs

$150 to $4,500

From a capacitor or flame sensor to a compressor or heat exchanger.

New system installed

$8,500 to $20,000

AC, furnace, matched system or heat pump, sized for the house and quoted in writing after a visit.

What moves the number on a cooling job

  • Which part failed, because a capacitor and a compressor are not the same conversation
  • Tonnage and the load the house actually needs, taken from a calculation rather than the old nameplate
  • Ductwork and returns, which decide whether new equipment can deliver what it is rated for
  • Access and the line-set: attic air handlers, second stories and a line-set that has to be rerun all add labor

Estimates are free and second opinions are free, including on a quote another company has already given you. Maintenance plan members save up to $300 a year.

What is the $5,000 AC rule?

Take the age of the air conditioner in years and multiply it by the repair quote. Under $5,000 the repair usually makes sense; over it, that money is generally better put toward a new system. Treat it as a first sort rather than a verdict: a small part on a thirteen year old unit is still worth fixing, and a compressor on a nine year old one deserves a proper look at the warranty first. Our own numbers make it quick: $150 to $4,500 on most repairs, $8,500 to $20,000 on a new system installed. On the day we run the numbers with you and show the repair price and the replacement price together.

Cooling FAQs

Cooling questions we hear every week

Usually the same day* if you call in the morning. Forney calls roll from Wellington Point, East Dallas calls from Switzer Ave, so neither side waits on a van crossing the metro. Phones are answered until 9pm.

By the numbers, in front of you. Age, the part that failed, the compressor and coil condition, and the repair cost against a third of a new system. Most calls are repairs; when replacement wins we say so.

All major residential brands for repair and maintenance: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Amana, York, Rheem, Ruud, Daikin, American Standard. New systems from the manufacturers we trust.

Yes. Seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling and repair discounts. Maintenance plan members save up to $300 a year.

Yes. If another company has quoted you a repair or a replacement, we will tell you honestly whether it is fair, including when it is.

We will not run down a manufacturer in order to sell you a different one. Every major brand builds equipment that lasts when it is sized properly, installed properly and serviced once a year, and most of the failures we get called to are installation and maintenance problems rather than badge problems. Ask what we would put in your own house and why, and you will get a straight answer.

A diagnostic visit is $45, and most repairs run $150 to $4,500 once we know what failed. Seasonal tune-ups are a flat price per system, quoted when you book, and maintenance plan members save up to $300 a year.
