Emergency HVAC in Highland Village, 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 Highland Village Do We Run Emergency Calls?
Emergency response to Highland Village runs from our Farmers Branch base — 28 miles via I-35E North, roughly 40 minutes. We cover 75077 including The Highlands, Doubletree Ranch Park, Marauder Marina area, FM 407 / Justin Road corridor, and Copper Canyon border. Highland Village sits in Denton County.
Now serving Highland Village
Highland Village is about 40 minutes from our Farmers Branch shop via I-35E north. Same-day response during 95°F+ weather is routine across The Highlands and the FM 407 corridor. We carry electronic leak detectors rated for the longer 50-80 foot line sets common on these deep lots, anti-corrosion factory coil coatings on every premium condenser replacement, plus communicating-system diagnostic tools for the variable-speed Carrier and Trane systems standard in The Highlands luxury builds.
Highland Village climate context
Highland Village sits on the bluff above the north shore of Lewisville Lake — most homes off The Highlands and the Doubletree Ranch Park ridge catch unobstructed south-southwest wind that has been crossing miles of sun-heated water before it reaches the side yard. South-facing condenser pads on those ridge-top lots routinely measure 145-155°F surface temperature by 4 PM in July, baking compressor oil thinner than it is designed for and shortening capacitor life. The deep half-acre-plus setbacks common across Highland Village also mean refrigerant line sets often run 50-80 feet between condenser and indoor coil — leaks have more places to hide and recharge calculations need closer attention to oil-return velocity than the short runs in tighter suburbs allow. Anti-corrosion coil coatings and afternoon shade screens pay back here within 3-4 summers on premium installs.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Highland Village?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Highland Village — 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 Highland Village Homeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies?
Emergency HVAC in Highland Village is mostly a premium-equipment conversation. When a variable-speed Trane or dual-zone Carrier goes down in a 4,000 sqft custom in The Highlands at 2 PM on a 104°F August day, that home is uninhabitable within 90 minutes — upstairs bonus rooms can hit 95°F with lake-humid air making everything feel worse. We're about 40 minutes from Highland Village up I-35E, and our real emergency response target is 2 hours for Frosty Club Premium members (priority scheduling) and 2-3 hours for non-members across FM 407, Doubletree Ranch Park, and the lake-view slope near Marauder Marina. A real human answers our phone. Call (469) 254-0548.
True emergencies in Highland Village worth a same-day call: AC fully down at 95°F+ with kids, pets, or elderly family; heat fully down below freezing; water pooling from the attic onto a bonus-room or primary-suite ceiling (a clogged condensate drain on a lake-humid system — especially heavy on homes near Marauder Marina); burning smell or visible smoke; suspected natural gas leak (call 911 and Atmos first); CO detector alarm. If you're uncomfortable but nothing is actively damaging the drywall, next-day scheduling usually saves money. On $16,000+ variable-speed systems a communicating fault that takes the whole system offline also qualifies — running electric emergency heat or an auxiliary portable won't cover a Highland Village custom.
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 directly to Omar or Mariafernanda, not a call center. Since January 1, 2018.

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.

EPA Combustion Safety

What Do Highland Village Homeowners Ask About Emergency HVAC?
Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC in Highland Village?
We offer emergency response during peak heat and cold seasons, and after-hours diagnostic/repair year-round. After-hours (before 7 AM or after 8 PM) is $250 for non-members, $212.50 for Basic members, and $85 for Premium members. We prioritize no-heat calls in freezes and no-AC calls over 95°F with vulnerable family members. Call (469) 254-0548.
What counts as an HVAC emergency in Highland Village?
True emergencies: AC fully down over 95°F with vulnerable family, heat fully down below freezing, water dripping from an attic condensate drain onto a primary-suite or bonus-room ceiling (extra common on lake-proximity Highland Village homes near Marauder Marina and The Highlands waterfront slope), burning smell, visible smoke, gas smell (call Atmos first), or CO detector alarm. Communicating-system faults that take a whole 4,000+ sqft custom offline also qualify — an auxiliary portable won't cover that house.
How fast can you get to Highland Village in an emergency?
We're about 40 minutes from Highland Village via I-35E north. Business-hours emergency response is typically within 2 hours for Frosty Club members (priority scheduling) and 2-3 hours for non-members. The Highlands, FM 407 / Justin Road corridor, Doubletree Ranch Park, and the Copper Canyon border are all in the same response window. A human answers our phone — we don't use answering services.
Do you charge emergency surcharges in Highland Village?
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, in The Highlands or along FM 407.
My lake-view Highland Village attic condensate drain is dripping on a primary-suite ceiling — is this an emergency?
Yes, treat it as urgent — and it costs more on a Highland Village custom than on a smaller home because drywall repairs in vaulted ceilings or over crown molding are expensive. Lake-humid Highland Village systems pull 20-30 gallons of water a day through the condensate drain. Shut the AC off at the thermostat, put a bucket under the drip if accessible, and call (469) 254-0548. Drain clear is $350 ($297.50 for members); float switch add-on is $400 to prevent a repeat.
Do You Handle Emergency R-22 AC Failures in The Highlands and Doubletree Ranch 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 The Highlands and Doubletree Ranch 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 The Highlands and Doubletree Ranch 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 The Highlands and Doubletree Ranch 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.
