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 and installation 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.

Why Do Irving Homeowners Choose Frosty's for AC Replacement?
I'm Omar Jacobo, owner of Frosty's HVAC, and Irving AC replacement covers the widest range of home types I see in any single city. Las Colinas has 12,000+ acres of master-planned upscale housing — Fortune 500 headquarters line the Williams Square corridor, and the surrounding residential pockets include townhomes, condos, and single-family custom builds from the 1980s through today. Valley Ranch is a master-planned community from the 1980s-2000s packed with two-story family homes that are now hitting the 20-25 year equipment wall. Heritage District downtown has 1950s-1970s ranches and bungalows where original systems died long ago and first-generation replacements are now due for their second swap. We offer three tiers, all flat-rate: Stay Cool (Goodman 15 SEER2) $8,000-$14,000, Stay Frosty (Carrier 18 SEER2 dual-stage) $12,000-$18,000, and It's A Frosty Life (Trane 20+ SEER2 variable speed) $16,000-$20,000+. Every new install uses R-454B or R-32 refrigerant per the 2025 EPA phasedown.
Irving's diversity means tonnage and equipment matching matter more here than in a uniform subdivision city. A 1,200 sqft Heritage District bungalow might need a 2-ton system ($9,500-$11,000 at Stay Cool tier), while a 3,500 sqft Valley Ranch two-story needs 4 tons ($15,500-$17,000 at Stay Cool) or a 5-ton on homes with vaulted ceilings and west-facing glass. Las Colinas luxury builds often run dual systems — one for each floor — and the variable-speed It's A Frosty Life tier shines there because it modulates down to 30-40% capacity during mild spring and fall weather, dehumidifying without overcooling. Heat pump replacements add $2,000 over the base tier and qualify for the federal 25C tax credit up to $2,000 — all-electric Las Colinas townhomes without gas service are perfect candidates. We run a Manual J load calculation on every Irving replacement — no rule-of-thumb guessing.
Every Irving replacement includes: Frosty Thermostat (our smart WiFi thermostat), new disconnect box, electrical whip, overflow condensate shutoff, condensate drain treatment, copper line inspection and replacement if needed on long runs, City of Irving permit, and full cleanup/haul-away. Labor warranty scales with tier: 1-year on Stay Cool, 2-year on Stay Frosty, 5-year on It's A Frosty Life. Optional 10-year labor warranty available for $3,500 on any tier. Financing through Optimus, Synchrony, and GreenSky — $0 down on approved credit, 50% deposit at booking, balance on completion.

What Do Irving Homeowners Ask About AC Replacement?
How much does a new AC system cost in Irving, TX?
Flat-rate pricing by tier: Stay Cool (Goodman 15 SEER2) $8,000-$14,000, Stay Frosty (Carrier 18 SEER2 dual-stage) $12,000-$18,000, It's A Frosty Life (Trane 20+ SEER2 variable speed) $16,000-$20,000+. Heat pump adds $2,000 (qualifies for federal 25C tax credit up to $2,000); 10-year labor warranty adds $3,500. Total range depending on tonnage and options: $8,000-$26,000.
What size AC do I need for my Irving home?
Depends on square footage, insulation, window orientation, and ductwork condition. Heritage District 1,200-1,600 sqft bungalows typically need 2-2.5 tons. Valley Ranch 2,500-3,500 sqft two-stories typically need 3.5-4 tons. Las Colinas 4,000+ sqft customs may need 5 tons or dual systems. We run a Manual J load calculation on every replacement — oversizing causes short cycling, humidity problems, and higher bills.
Should I get a heat pump or traditional AC for my Irving home?
If you have natural gas service (most Valley Ranch and Heritage District homes on Atmos Energy), traditional AC paired with a gas furnace is typically cheapest to operate across DFW's 20-30 freeze nights. If you're in an all-electric Las Colinas townhome or condo with no gas line, a heat pump makes excellent sense and qualifies for the 25C federal tax credit up to $2,000. We run both numbers on every quote.
How long does AC installation take in Irving?
Standard single-system replacement is one full day (8-10 hours). Larger Valley Ranch or Las Colinas homes with dual systems or long line-set replacements can take 2 days. We pull the City of Irving permit before we start and the inspector typically comes within 2-3 weeks. All new installs use R-454B or R-32 refrigerant per the 2025 EPA phasedown.
Do you offer financing for AC replacement in Irving?
Yes — Optimus, Synchrony, and GreenSky with $0 down on approved credit. 50% deposit at booking, balance on completion. Applications take 5 minutes and most Irving homeowners get approved same-day. Monthly payments on a mid-range system run roughly $200-$300/month over 60 months. Call (469) 254-0548 to start.
Should I Replace My Old R-22 AC 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 for DFW homeowners.
Do I Need to Replace My R-410A System in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch Because of the AIM Act?
No — not just because of the AIM Act. R-410A production for new equipment ended Jan 1, 2025 under the AIM Act (Energy.gov), but existing systems remain serviceable indefinitely under EPA 608 Universal cert #2396328. I'd only recommend replacing a Las Colinas and Valley Ranch R-410A system if it's past 12-15 years old, has compressor failure, or has a major leak that makes ongoing recharges (R-410A at $100/lb installed, plus $250-$500 leak detection) uneconomical. New replacements use R-454B or R-32 only. Read our R-410A phase-out explainer for DFW homeowners.
