Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Hurst?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Hurst — 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 HurstHomeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies
Hurst emergency calls peak during three windows: the first 100°F+ stretch of summer (mid-June through July), the first hard freeze of winter (usually mid-December), and thunderstorm events that knock capacitors out across the Mid-Cities. We're about 40 minutes from Hurst on 635/183, so real emergency response is usually possible within 60-90 minutes for Frosty Club members and 2-4 hours for non-members. No overtime charges for members. Call (469) 254-0548 and a human answers; we don't use answering services that play phone tag while your house heats up.
Here's what actually counts as an emergency worth a same-day call in Hurst: 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 attic onto a ceiling (clogged condensate drain — we see this constantly in older Hurst ranch homes with attic air handlers); burning smell or smoke from any part of the system; suspected gas leak (call 911 and the gas company first); CO detector going off near the furnace. If you're uncomfortable but nothing is actively damaging the house, scheduling tomorrow at regular rates usually 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 — it rings to Omar or Mariafernanda directly, not a call center.

Emergency HVAC FAQ for Hurst, TX
Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC in Hurst?
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 Hurst?
True emergencies: AC fully down over 95°F with vulnerable family members, heat fully down below freezing, water dripping from the ceiling (clogged condensate drain), burning smell or smoke, gas smell (call gas company first), or CO detector alarm near the furnace. If you're uncomfortable but the house isn't being damaged, next-day service at regular rates usually saves you money.
How fast can you get to Hurst in an emergency?
We're about 40 minutes from Hurst on 635/183 from our Farmers Branch shop. 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 Hurst?
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 dripping water through the ceiling in my Hurst home — is this an emergency?
Yes, treat it as urgent. In 1960s-80s Hurst ranch homes with attic air handlers, a clogged condensate drain is our #1 water-damage cause. We clear the drain ($350, $297.50 for members) and install a float switch ($400) to prevent a repeat. Left alone, a clog can ruin drywall, soak attic insulation, and grow mold in 24-48 hours. Call (469) 254-0548.
