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.

We NEVER repair cracked heat exchangers — those require full furnace replacement only.
Where in Murphy Do We Run Emergency Calls?
Emergency response to Murphy runs from our Farmers Branch base — 28 miles via Dallas North Tollway North to SH-190 East, roughly 45 minutes. We cover 75094 including Maxwell Creek, Muirfield Village, Murphy Marketplace, FM 544 corridor, Ballantrae, and Northpointe. Murphy sits in Collin County.
Now serving Murphy
Murphy is about 45 minutes from our Farmers Branch shop via the Dallas North Tollway and SH-190. Same-day response during 95°F+ weather is routine. We carry communicating board diagnostic tools for the variable-speed Carrier and Trane systems common in larger Muirfield Village and Northpointe homes, plus drain pan biocide treatment for the Murphy MUD water-chemistry problem.
Murphy climate context
Roughly 90% of Murphy's housing went up between 2000 and 2010, so original R-410A systems are now 15-20 years old and hitting peak failure season. Maxwell Creek, Muirfield Village, Ballantrae, and Northpointe 2,500-4,000 sqft two-stories drive high cooling loads on equipment installed to 2005-era efficiency specs. Murphy MUD water shows up on the condensate drain side as higher mineral deposits in traps and aggressive algae growth.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Counts as an HVAC Emergency in Murphy?
Some HVAC problems can wait until tomorrow. Others can't. Here's how I triage emergency calls in Murphy — 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 Murphy Homeowners Call Frosty's for Emergencies?
Murphy emergency calls land in three predictable windows: the first 100°F+ stretch in mid-June through July (compressor and capacitor failures on 15-20 year R-410A systems), the first hard freeze in December (ignitor and pressure-switch failures), and any North Texas thunderstorm that takes out capacitors across 75094. Farmers Branch to Murphy is about 45 minutes up the Dallas North Tollway and east on President George Bush, so real emergency response for Frosty Club Premium members (priority scheduling) runs 1-2 hours and non-members usually see us within 2-3 hours. A human answers the phone. Call (469) 254-0548.
The Murphy-specific emergency I get most often is condensate water pooling onto a second-floor ceiling — almost always from Muirfield Village, Maxwell Creek, or Northpointe two-stories where the air handler lives in the attic above finished living space. On 15-20 year old systems the condensate drain algae load catches up fast in the humid July stretch, the drain backs up, and the secondary overflow pan fills and overflows. If you see a water stain appearing on a second-floor ceiling, shut the thermostat off immediately and call us. Drain clear is $350 ($297.50 for members) and a float switch add-on is $400 — cheap insurance against a $3,000 sheetrock and paint repair.
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.

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 Murphy Homeowners Ask About Emergency HVAC?
Do you offer 24/7 emergency HVAC in Murphy?
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. Call (469) 254-0548.
My Muirfield Village two-story has water staining a ceiling — is that urgent?
Yes. On 15-20 year old Murphy systems with attic-mounted air handlers — which is most of Muirfield Village, Maxwell Creek, and Northpointe — a clogged primary condensate drain lets the secondary pan overflow, and the water goes straight through sheetrock onto finished ceilings. Shut the thermostat off, catch what you can with a bucket if accessible, and call (469) 254-0548. Drain clear $350 plus optional $400 float switch is far cheaper than ceiling repair.
How fast can you get to Murphy in an emergency?
Farmers Branch to Murphy is about 45 minutes via the Tollway and SH-190. Business-hours emergency response is typically 1-2 hours for Frosty Club Premium members (priority scheduling) and 2-3 hours for non-members. During a thunderstorm event when capacitors fail across 75094 at once, the queue gets long — Premium members jump the line.
Do you charge emergency surcharges in Murphy?
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). A capacitor replacement is $500 at 2 PM or at 2 AM — repair prices do not change based on time of day.
The Murphy thunderstorm just knocked out my AC — now what?
North Texas storm surges are the #1 cause of capacitor failures across Murphy, usually hitting dozens of homes in 75094 in a single night. Don't keep flipping the breaker — if the capacitor is bad, every restart stresses the compressor. Shut the thermostat off and call (469) 254-0548. Capacitor replacement is $500 flat ($425 for members) and we typically clear the storm queue within 24-48 hours.
What actually counts as an HVAC emergency in Murphy?
True emergencies: AC fully down over 95°F with vulnerable family, heat fully down below freezing, water dripping from an attic air handler onto a ceiling (clogged 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.
Do You Handle Emergency R-22 AC Failures in Maxwell Creek and Muirfield Village?
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 Maxwell Creek and Muirfield Village 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 Maxwell Creek and Muirfield Village?
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 Maxwell Creek and Muirfield Village 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.
