Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Frisco?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Frisco — 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 FriscoHomeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies
Frisco emergency calls peak during the same three 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 event that knocks capacitors out across Phillips Creek Ranch and Stonebriar at the same time. We're 40 minutes from Frisco via the Dallas North Tollway, so real emergency response is usually within 60-90 minutes for Frosty Club members and 2-4 hours for everyone else. No overtime charges for members. Call (469) 254-0548 and a human answers — we don't use answering services that play phone tag with you for two hours while it's 110°F upstairs.
Here's what actually counts as an emergency worth a same-day call in Frisco: AC fully down when it's 95°F+ and you have kids, pets, or elderly family in the house (especially common at Frisco Lakes 55+); heat fully down when it's below freezing; water pooling from the attic onto a downstairs ceiling (clogged condensate drain on the upstairs air handler is the #1 source); burning smell or smoke from any part of the system; suspected gas leak (call 911 and Atmos first); CO detector going off near the furnace. If you're comfortable and nothing is actively damaging the house, we can usually save you money by scheduling for tomorrow at regular rates.
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.

Emergency HVAC FAQ for Frisco, TX
Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC in Frisco?
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 truly 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 Frisco?
True emergencies: AC fully down over 95°F with vulnerable family members, heat fully down below freezing, water dripping from a downstairs ceiling (clogged upstairs condensate drain), burning smell or visible smoke, gas smell (call Atmos first), or CO detector alarm near the furnace. If you're uncomfortable but nothing is actively damaging the house, next-day service usually saves you money.
How fast can you get to Frisco in an emergency?
We're 40 minutes from Frisco via the Dallas North Tollway, so emergency response during business hours is typically within 60-90 minutes for Frosty Club members (priority scheduling) and 2-4 hours for non-members. After-hours response is usually within 2-3 hours. A human answers our phone — we don't use answering services that play phone tag.
Do you charge emergency surcharges in Frisco?
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 AC is leaking water onto my downstairs ceiling in Frisco — is this an emergency?
Yes, treat it as urgent. Frisco two-story homes have an upstairs air handler in the attic, and when its condensate drain clogs, water pours down through the ceiling drywall onto your downstairs living area. This is our #1 water-damage emergency in Frisco. We clear the drain ($350, $297.50 for members) and install a float switch ($400) to prevent a repeat. Left alone, it can ruin drywall and grow mold within 48 hours. Call (469) 254-0548.
