AC Replacement in Irving, TX — Frosty's HVAC

Irving's diverse housing stock presents unique AC replacement challenges. A 1,500 sq ft ranch in Cottonhill has completely different requirements than a 3,200 sq ft home in Las Colinas or Valley Ranch. Frosty's HVAC doesn't use a one-size-fits-all approach — we perform a Manual J load calculation for every Irving home to determine the exact system size needed. This prevents the two most common installation mistakes: oversizing (which wastes energy and causes humidity problems) and undersizing (which can't keep up with Texas heat).

Many older Irving homes near downtown Irving and in Hackberry Creek still run R-22 systems from the 1990s and early 2000s. With R-22 phased out in 2020 and increasingly expensive to source, these homeowners face a choice: keep paying for expensive refrigerant charges or invest in a modern R-454B system that uses 30-50% less energy. Our Stay Cool tier starts at $8,000 for smaller Irving homes, making the upgrade accessible for homeowners on a budget.

For Irving homeowners choosing between our three tiers, here's what we typically recommend: Stay Cool (Goodman, $8,000-$14,000) for budget-conscious homeowners in smaller homes. Stay Frosty (Carrier, $12,000-$18,000) for most two-story Las Colinas and Valley Ranch homes — the dual-stage compressor handles Texas heat more efficiently. It's A Frosty Life (Trane, $16,000-$20,000+) for homeowners who want the lowest energy bills and whisper-quiet operation. All tiers include a Frosty Thermostat and financing options.
