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.

Now serving Farmers Branch
Our shop is at 11410 Mathis Ave — physically inside Farmers Branch 75234. Brookhaven and Valley View calls reach a tech in under 12 minutes. We stock R-410A and R-454B refrigerant, every common 2-5 ton capacitor and contactor, and Goodman/Carrier/Trane condenser fan motors so most calls finish on the first visit.
Farmers Branch climate context
Farmers Branch sits inside the DFW urban heat island — peak attic temps in 1960s-80s ranch homes routinely hit 150-160°F July through early September, which is why dual-run capacitor failures dominate our summer call volume in Brookhaven and Valley View.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Farmers Branch?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Farmers Branch — 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 Farmers Branch Homeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies?
Farmers Branch emergency calls are our fastest response because our shop is here — 11410 Mathis Ave, 75234. When a Brookhaven or Valley View homeowner calls at 2 AM with a dead AC and a house climbing toward 90°F, I'm typically at the door in 30–45 minutes. Summer emergencies follow a predictable pattern in this city: capacitors blow without warning, compressors seize after years of thermal stress in 155°F attics, and blower motors lock up when the bearings finally give out. Those first few hours matter — elderly residents and infants are genuine heat-illness risks when indoor temperatures climb past 85°F. I've walked into Brookhaven homes at midnight with a new capacitor ($500 / $425 members) and watched a family breathe for the first time in six hours. That's the reason I answer my own phone.
Winter emergencies in Farmers Branch are a different kind of urgent. When a furnace quits on a 25°F January morning and the house drops below 55°F, pipes become a concern and vulnerable family members face real health risk. The three most common winter emergency parts in Farmers Branch are ignitors ($400 / $340 members), flame sensors ($400 / $340), and gas valves ($400–$1,200 / $340–$1,020). All fixable same-visit if I have the right part on the truck — and for the Valley View and Brookhaven furnace generations, I usually do. If you smell natural gas at any point, do not call me first — leave the house, call Atmos Energy at 866-322-8667 from outside, then call (469) 254-0548 once Atmos has secured the meter. Gas leaks are 911-level emergencies, full stop.
Emergency diagnostic is $85 during business hours ($72.25 members, waived with repair). After-hours (after 6 PM weekdays, all day weekends) the service call is $250 ($212.50 members). Here's the Frosty Club math that most Farmers Branch homeowners don't realize until they need it: Basic members ($99/year) pay ZERO overtime surcharge on after-hours calls — that benefit alone covers the cost of the membership the first time your AC dies at 11 PM on a Saturday. Licensed TACLA126718E, EPA 608 Universal certified (#2396328), 99 Google reviews at 4.9 stars. (469) 254-0548 reaches Omar or Mariafernanda directly, 24/7.

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.

What Do Farmers Branch Homeowners Ask About Emergency HVAC?
How fast can Frosty's get to my Farmers Branch home for an HVAC emergency?
Our shop is in Farmers Branch on Mathis Ave, so Brookhaven, Valley View, Valwood, and Mercer Crossing calls are our fastest response — typically 30–45 minutes during business hours, 45–90 minutes after-hours depending on current queue depth. Frosty Club members skip the queue automatically. Homes with infants, elderly residents, or medical conditions get priority regardless of membership.
How much does emergency AC repair cost in Farmers Branch?
Business-hours diagnostic: $85 ($72.25 members, waived with repair). After-hours service call: $250 ($212.50 members, waived for Frosty Club Basic members). Common emergency repairs: capacitor $500 ($425 members), contactor $600 ($510), blower motor $750–$1,500 ($637.50–$1,275), compressor $3,500–$5,000 ($2,975–$4,250). All flat-rate — quoted before we start, even at 2 AM.
My AC quit during a Farmers Branch heat wave — what should I do while waiting?
Close all blinds and curtains to block solar heat gain. Run ceiling fans and any portable fans to move air across skin. Move the family to the lowest, most interior room in the house — it stays coolest longest. Stay hydrated with cold water. Wet towels around necks. If anyone is elderly, an infant, or has a heart or lung condition, tell us when you call (469) 254-0548 — we move those calls to the front of the queue. If anyone shows heat-illness symptoms (confusion, no sweating, rapid pulse), call 911 before calling us.
I smell gas in my Farmers Branch home at 2 AM — do I call Frosty's or 911?
Call Atmos Energy first at 866-322-8667 from OUTSIDE the house. Do not flip switches, light matches, or attempt to restart the furnace. Atmos is the gas utility for Farmers Branch and will secure the meter. Once the immediate danger is resolved, call (469) 254-0548 and we'll diagnose the source. Gas valve replacement runs $400–$1,200 ($340–$1,020 members). A gas leak is never something to troubleshoot yourself — get out first, call the utility, then call us.
Does Frosty's charge overtime for weekend or night emergency calls in Farmers Branch?
After-hours service call is $250 ($212.50 members) versus $85 during business hours. However, Frosty Club Basic members ($99/year) pay ZERO overtime surcharge — that's one of the biggest membership benefits, and it pays for itself the first time you need us at midnight. The service call is always waived when you approve the repair, regardless of time of day.
Do You Handle Emergency R-22 AC Failures in Valley View and Brookhaven?
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 Valley View and Brookhaven 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 Valley View and Brookhaven?
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 Valley View and Brookhaven 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.
