Emergency HVAC in Irving, 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 Irving Do We Run Emergency Calls?
Emergency response to Irving runs from our Farmers Branch base — 10 miles via SH-183 West (or SH-114), roughly 15 minutes. We cover 75038, 75039, 75060, 75061, and 75062 including Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, Heritage District, Hackberry Creek, MacArthur Park, and North Irving. Irving sits in Dallas County.
Now serving Irving
Irving is 15 minutes from our Farmers Branch shop via SH-183 or SH-114. Same-day response is standard across Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, Heritage District, Hackberry Creek, MacArthur Park, and North Irving. We stock R-22 reclaimed refrigerant for older Heritage District equipment, ECM blower modules for Las Colinas variable-speed builds, and standard capacitors and contactors for the broad mid-life housing stock everywhere in between.
Irving climate context
Irving's housing stock spans seven decades — Heritage District 1950s-1970s ranches with original duct and R-22 equipment, Valley Ranch 1990s-2000s two-story family homes hitting the 20-25 year replacement window, Las Colinas 1980s townhomes through 2020s luxury new construction. That diversity means failure modes vary block to block: Heritage District is blower bearings burned out from 140-160°F attic heat; Valley Ranch is evaporator-coil leaks at the second-floor return; Las Colinas is ECM control-board failures on communicating systems.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Irving?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Irving — 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 Irving Homeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies?
Irving is about 15 minutes from our Farmers Branch shop via 183 or 114, which means real emergency response here — not a promise, an actual arrival — is typically within an hour during business hours. Emergency calls peak during the same windows as the rest of DFW: the first 100-degree 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. Irving's size works both ways — there are a lot of homes across Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, Heritage District, Hackberry Creek, MacArthur Park, and North Irving, which means storm damage often hits multiple systems simultaneously. Frosty Club Basic members pay $0 overtime on emergency calls — that's the single biggest reason to carry the $99/year membership even if you never use anything else. 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 degrees or above 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 or closet floor (common in Las Colinas townhomes and Valley Ranch homes with attic-mounted units where a clogged condensate line overflows the drain pan); burning smell or smoke from any part of the system; suspected gas leak (call 911 and Atmos Energy first, then us); 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. I'll tell you that honestly on the phone.
Emergency diagnostic is the same $85 flat rate as a scheduled call, waived with any repair. We do not charge emergency surcharges during business hours — 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 Frosty Club Basic members pay $0 overtime (no after-hours surcharge at all). Premium members get the regular $85 diagnostic with no overtime. The phone number is (469) 254-0548 — that rings to Omar or Mariafernanda directly, not a call center. I'm EPA 608 Universal certified (#2396328), Mariafernanda holds TACLA126718E. Residential only.

What Do Irving Homeowners Ask About Emergency HVAC?
Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC in Irving?
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 $0 overtime for Basic members (they pay regular $85 diagnostic only). For overnight calls we prioritize no-heat situations in freezes and no-AC situations over 95 degrees. Call (469) 254-0548.
What counts as an HVAC emergency in Irving?
True emergencies: AC fully down over 95 degrees with vulnerable family members, heat fully down below freezing, water dripping from the air handler onto ceilings or floors (especially critical in Las Colinas stacked townhomes), burning smell or visible smoke, gas smell (call Atmos Energy 800-817-8090 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 Irving in an emergency?
We're about 15 minutes from Irving via 183 or 114. 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 or dispatch centers.
Do you charge emergency surcharges in Irving?
No surcharge during business hours — flat-rate means flat-rate. After-hours (before 7 AM or after 8 PM): $250 for non-members, $212.50 for Basic members, $0 overtime for Basic members. Repair prices don't change based on time of day — a capacitor is $500 at 2 PM or 2 AM. Frosty Club Basic ($99/yr) eliminates overtime charges entirely.
My Irving AC died during a 105-degree day — what should I do right now?
First: close blinds, turn on ceiling fans, move pets and elderly family to an interior room. Second: check your thermostat is set to cool (not OFF or heat), check that the indoor switch and outdoor disconnect are on, and check the breaker panel. If all of that checks out, call (469) 254-0548. We're 15 minutes from Irving and prioritize no-AC calls over 95 degrees with vulnerable occupants. Frosty Club Basic members pay $0 overtime if it's after hours.
Do You Handle Emergency R-22 AC Failures in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch?
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 Las Colinas and Valley Ranch 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 Las Colinas and Valley Ranch?
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 Las Colinas and Valley Ranch 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.
