Now serving Irving
Irving is 15 minutes from our Farmers Branch shop via SH-183 or SH-114. Same-day response is standard across Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, Heritage District, Hackberry Creek, MacArthur Park, and North Irving. We stock R-22 reclaimed refrigerant for older Heritage District equipment, ECM blower modules for Las Colinas variable-speed builds, and standard capacitors and contactors for the broad mid-life housing stock everywhere in between.
Irving climate context
Irving's housing stock spans seven decades — Heritage District 1950s-1970s ranches with original duct and R-22 equipment, Valley Ranch 1990s-2000s two-story family homes hitting the 20-25 year replacement window, Las Colinas 1980s townhomes through 2020s luxury new construction. That diversity means failure modes vary block to block: Heritage District is blower bearings burned out from 140-160°F attic heat; Valley Ranch is evaporator-coil leaks at the second-floor return; Las Colinas is ECM control-board failures on communicating systems.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Are the Most Common AC Problems in Irving?
In my 8 years servicing Irving homes, 80% of the emergency repair calls I get come down to a handful of issues. Here's what I see most often — and what each one typically costs to fix.
AC won't turn on
Usually a failed capacitor ($500), contactor ($600), or a tripped float switch. Diagnostic identifies the exact cause.
Blowing warm air
Low refrigerant from a leak, failed compressor, or iced-over evaporator coil. We find and fix leaks — we never gas-and-go.
Frozen evaporator coil
Restricted airflow or low refrigerant. Shut the system off and call us before it destroys the compressor.
Water leaking from indoor unit
Clogged drain line ($350) or damaged drain pan ($1,200). A $400 float switch prevents future water damage.
Loud grinding or rattling
Worn blower motor bearings, loose fan blade, or failing compressor. Don't ignore it — small noises become big repairs fast.
Short cycling (on/off/on/off)
Weak capacitor, oversized system, failing thermostat, or refrigerant problem. Short cycling kills compressors in under a year.
Why Do Irving Homeowners Choose Frosty's for AC Repair?
I'm Omar Jacobo, owner of Frosty's HVAC, and Irving is one of the most diverse AC repair markets we serve. From our Farmers Branch shop it's about 15 minutes via 183 or 114 — close enough that same-day response is standard across all six major neighborhoods. Irving's housing stock spans seven decades: Heritage District has 1950s-1970s ranches and bungalows running original duct systems with R-22 equipment long past its expected life, Valley Ranch is packed with 1990s-2000s two-story family homes hitting the 20-25 year replacement window, and Las Colinas offers everything from 1980s townhomes to brand-new luxury construction. The most common Irving repair I see is capacitor failure ($500, $425 for Frosty Club members) and contactor pitting ($600, $510 members) on systems that have been running hard through Texas summers without annual maintenance.
The Irving-specific challenge is the sheer variety. A Heritage District bungalow with a 1970s attic-mounted air handler has completely different failure modes than a Las Colinas townhome with a closet-mounted variable-speed system. In Heritage District I'm often replacing blower motors ($750-$1,500) on 20+ year old Carrier or Trane units where the original bearings have worn out from decades of 140-160 degree attic heat. In Valley Ranch the pattern is different — those 1990s-2000s two-story homes have longer duct runs to second-floor bedrooms, which means the blower works harder and the evaporator coil sees higher static pressure. That extra strain shows up as refrigerant leaks at the evaporator joints after 15-18 years. In Las Colinas luxury builds, ECM variable-speed blower failures (up to $2,800) are more common because the equipment is more sophisticated and more expensive to repair when it does fail.
Every Irving repair is flat-rate — I quote the total before we touch anything, and that's what you pay. I'm EPA 608 Universal certified (#2396328), Mariafernanda holds the Texas state contractor license (TACLA126718E), and we've been running Frosty's since January 1, 2018. We have 99 Google reviews at 4.9 stars. HVAC systems are hermetic — sealed from the factory — so if refrigerant is low, there's a leak. We find it, fix it, then recharge to manufacturer spec ($350-$1,000 find-fix-recharge). We never gas-and-go. Residential only, flat-rate pricing, se habla espanol. Call (469) 254-0548 and a human answers.

What Do Irving Homeowners Ask About AC Repair?
How much does AC repair cost in Irving, TX?
Diagnostic is $85 flat (waived with any repair). Most Irving repairs land between $500 and $2,800: capacitor $500 ($425 for Frosty Club members), contactor $600 ($510), condenser fan motor $650 ($552.50), blower motor $750-$1,500, ECM variable-speed blower up to $2,800, refrigerant leak find-fix-recharge $350-$1,000, compressor $3,500-$5,000. Flat-rate — you see the total before we start.
Why does my Heritage District home lose refrigerant every summer?
Heritage District homes from the 1950s-1970s often have original copper line sets that develop formicary corrosion pinholes after 30-40 years of thermal cycling. HVAC systems are hermetic — sealed — so any low charge means there's a leak. We locate it with electronic detection and UV dye, fix it, then recharge to manufacturer spec ($350-$1,000). We never just top it off and leave because it'll be low again in weeks.
Do you offer same-day AC repair in Irving?
Yes — we're about 15 minutes from Irving via 183 or 114. Same-day response during 95°F+ heat is routine across all Irving neighborhoods from Las Colinas to Valley Ranch to Heritage District. Frosty Club members get priority scheduling during heat waves. Call (469) 254-0548 for a real ETA — a human answers, not a call center.
My Valley Ranch two-story home has weak airflow upstairs — what's wrong?
Valley Ranch 1990s-2000s two-story homes have longer duct runs to second-floor bedrooms, which means higher static pressure on the blower. Common causes: undersized return duct, collapsed flex in the attic, or a blower motor losing RPM from worn bearings ($750-$1,500 to replace). The $85 diagnostic identifies the root cause. Sometimes the fix is ductwork rather than equipment — we give you the honest answer either way.
Is my Las Colinas AC worth repairing or should I replace it?
Rule of thumb: if the repair exceeds 50% of a new system's cost and the unit is 12+ years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense. A $500 capacitor on a 10-year-old system is an easy repair. A $3,500+ compressor on a 15-year-old R-410A unit is borderline — we run the numbers with you. Diagnostic is $85 (waived with repair) and we'll give you both options flat-rate so you can decide.
Can You Still Repair My R-22 System in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch?
Yes — EPA 608 Universal cert #2396328 lets me legally recover, recycle, and recharge R-22 under federal regulations. R-22 production ended in 2020 under the Clean Air Act phase-out (EPA.gov), so it now runs $200 per pound installed. A typical Las Colinas and Valley Ranch R-22 leak repair totals $650-$1,000: electronic leak detection ($250) or nitrogen leak test ($500) plus recharge at $200/lb. Optional leak seal $350 — but it can void manufacturer warranties, so I only recommend it in specific cases. For systems past 12 years with major leaks, planning the transition to R-454B or R-32 is usually the better economics. Read our R-410A phase-out explainer.
Should I Repair My R-410A System in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch or Replace It?
Yes, I can repair it — R-410A production for new equipment ended Jan 2025 under the AIM Act (Energy.gov), but EPA 608 Universal cert #2396328 covers ongoing service. R-410A recharge runs $100 per pound installed. A typical Las Colinas and Valley Ranch leak repair totals $450-$700: electronic leak detection ($250) or nitrogen leak test ($500) plus recharge at $100/lb. Optional leak seal $350 — but it can void manufacturer warranties, so I only recommend it in specific cases. For systems past 12 years with major leaks, replacement to R-454B or R-32 is usually the better economics. Read our R-410A phase-out explainer.
