Emergency HVAC in Addison, TX
No cool on a 105°F day. No heat on a 25°F night. Gas smell at 2 AM. When HVAC fails, you need flat-rate, honest, fast response. $85 diagnostic, $250 after-hours, $0 overtime for Frosty Club members. Licensed TACLA126718E, EPA 608 Universal certified, family-owned since 2018.
Gas Smell or CO Alarm? Call 911 + Atmos Energy FIRST
Gas smell: Leave the house immediately. Do not flip switches or light matches. From outside, call Atmos Energy: 866-322-8667. Atmos will shut off the gas at the meter. CO alarm sounding: Leave immediately and call 911 from outside. Once safety services have cleared the house, call us at (469) 254-0548 for diagnostic and repair. We NEVER repair cracked heat exchangers — those require full furnace replacement only.
Where in Addison Do We Run Emergency Calls?
Emergency response to Addison runs from our Farmers Branch base — 5 miles via Dallas North Tollway North, roughly 10 minutes. We cover 75001 including Addison Circle, Vitruvian Park, Beltway Addison, Midway Road corridor, and Belt Line Road. Addison sits in Dallas County.
Now serving Addison
Addison is one of our shortest drives — about 10 minutes from our Farmers Branch shop up the Dallas North Tollway. During business hours we often arrive within an hour. We carry isolation mounts and flexible duct connectors for the common-wall installs in Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park, degreaser-rated coil cleaner for the restaurant-district condenser fouling, plus float switches sized for stacked condensate routing where one clog can flood multiple units below.
Addison climate context
Addison packs more residents per square mile than most DFW suburbs into 4.4 sq mi — Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park alone house thousands in stacked condominium and townhome units where almost every install is a common-wall, common-attic, common-condensate-stack project. Shared-wall vibration carries between units, so isolation mounts and flexible duct connectors aren't optional; bare-metal supply trunks transmit blower hum straight into a neighbor's bedroom. Outdoor condenser banks at the Addison Circle and Belt Line restaurant district sit downwind of dozens of commercial kitchen exhaust hoods, and the resulting grease film on coil fins traps every leaf and lint particle that lands — coils foul faster here than in residential-only suburbs. Townhome ductwork runs are short by necessity, which makes static-pressure design finicky in a way that sprawled single-family homes never face.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Addison?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Addison — and what to do in each case.
No cooling, 95°F+ summer
Real emergency when elderly, infants, or anyone with medical conditions is in the house. DFW summer heat kills. Move family to coolest room, run fans, stay hydrated, call us immediately.
No heat, below 35°F
Emergency for elderly, infants, and pipe-freeze risk. Usually ignitor, flame sensor, gas valve, or pressure switch. $400-$1,200 range. Same-visit fix when parts are in stock.
Gas smell
LIFE SAFETY. Leave the house immediately, call Atmos Energy 866-322-8667 from outside, then 911. Do not flip switches. Once gas is shut off, call us to diagnose the source and repair.
CO alarm sounding
LIFE SAFETY. Leave the house, call 911 from outside. Usually a cracked heat exchanger (full furnace replacement, we NEVER repair) or vent leak (repairable). Never run the furnace until cleared.
Water leaking from air handler
Clogged condensate drain triggered the safety switch — or the pan overflowed and water is dripping from the ceiling. Shut off the breaker. Call us. Drain clearing runs $350 ($297.50 members).
Electrical burning smell
Shut off the breaker immediately. Usually a failing contactor, blower motor, or wire connection. Do NOT run the system until we diagnose. Repair is $500-$1,500 range.
Why Do Addison Homeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies?
Addison is one of our closest cities — about 10 minutes up the Dallas North Tollway from our Farmers Branch shop — which means real emergency response here is usually within an hour during business hours, not three. Emergency calls peak during the same windows as the rest of DFW: the first 100°F+ stretch of summer (mid-June through July), the first hard freeze of winter (usually mid-December), and any thunderstorm that knocks capacitors out across the neighborhood. Addison's density works in your favor on those days — the restaurant-row residential blocks, Addison Circle, Beltway Addison, and Vitruvian Park all sit inside a 2-mile circle, so route time between jobs is minimal. Call (469) 254-0548 and a human answers.
Here's what actually counts as an emergency worth a same-day call: AC fully down when it's 95°F+ and you have kids, pets, or elderly family in the house; heat fully down when it's below freezing; water pooling from the air handler onto a ceiling (a serious problem in Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park stacked units where it drips into the unit below); burning smell or smoke from any part of the system; suspected gas leak (call 911 and gas company first); CO detector going off near the furnace. If you're comfortable and nothing is actively damaging the house, scheduling for tomorrow at regular rates saves you money.
Emergency diagnostic is the same $85 flat rate as a scheduled call, waived with any repair. We do not charge emergency surcharges — flat-rate means flat-rate. After-hours service (before 7 AM or after 8 PM) runs $250 for non-members, $212.50 for Frosty Club Basic members, and Premium members pay the regular $85 with no overtime. The phone number is (469) 254-0548 — that rings to Omar or Mariafernanda directly, not a call center.

Why Should I Trust Frosty's Credentials for Emergency HVAC?
Because every credential is independently verifiable and directly tied to the emergency — Texas HVAC Contractor License TACLA126718E regulates how we touch gas and electrical, EPA CO safety guidance governs every cracked-heat-exchanger call, and the U.S. Department of Energy documents why annual maintenance prevents the emergencies in the first place.

Texas HVAC Contractor License held by Mariafernanda Jacobo. Issued and regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
EPA Combustion Safety
Per the U.S. EPA CO Safety Guide, cracked heat exchangers are a leading cause of residential CO poisoning. We NEVER repair — full replacement only.
DOE Emergency Preparedness

What Do Addison Homeowners Ask About Emergency HVAC?
Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC in Addison?
We offer emergency response during peak heat and cold seasons, and after-hours diagnostic/repair year-round. After-hours call (before 7 AM or after 8 PM) is $250 for non-members, $212.50 for Basic members, and waived to the regular $85 for Premium members. For overnight calls, we prioritize no-heat situations in freezes and no-AC situations over 95°F. Call (469) 254-0548.
What counts as an HVAC emergency in Addison?
True emergencies: AC fully down over 95°F with vulnerable family, heat fully down below freezing, water dripping from the ceiling (especially critical in Addison Circle stacked townhomes where it affects the unit below), burning smell or visible smoke, gas smell (call gas company first), or CO detector alarm near the furnace. If nothing is actively damaging the house, next-day service usually saves you money.
How fast can you get to Addison in an emergency?
We're about 10 minutes from Addison up the Dallas North Tollway — one of our closest cities. Emergency response during business hours is typically within 1 hour for Frosty Club members (priority scheduling) and 1-2 hours for non-members. After-hours response is usually within 2 hours. A human answers our phone — we don't use answering services.
Do you charge emergency surcharges in Addison?
No. We're flat-rate, which means flat-rate. Diagnostic is $85 during business hours (waived with repair), and $250 after-hours ($212.50 for Basic members, $85 for Premium members). Repair prices don't change based on time of day — a capacitor is $500 at 2 PM or 2 AM.
My Addison Circle condo AC is leaking water onto my neighbor's ceiling — is this an emergency?
Yes, absolutely. In Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park stacked units, a clogged condensate drain can damage multiple units fast. Shut the system off at the thermostat and call (469) 254-0548. We clear the drain ($350, $297.50 for members) and install a float switch ($400) to prevent a repeat. Left alone, a clog causes drywall damage, mold growth, and HOA headaches.
Do You Handle Emergency R-22 AC Failures in Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park?
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 Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park 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 You Handle Emergency R-410A AC Failures in Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park?
Yes — EPA 608 Universal cert #2396328 covers R-410A diagnosis, leak detection, and recharge. AIM Act 2025 phase-out (Energy.gov) affects new equipment manufacturing, not service work. For a Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park R-410A emergency, expect $250 electronic leak detection (or $500 nitrogen for complex leaks) plus recharge at $100/lb installed. Most repairs run same-day. Read our R-410A phase-out explainer for DFW homeowners.
