Frequently Asked Questions

How much does AC replacement cost in DFW?

AC replacement in the Dallas-Fort Worth area costs between $9,440 and $18,545 installed for a single system, depending on tonnage (2–5 ton) and efficiency tier (Economy at 15 SEER, Performance at 17 SEER, or Premium at 20 SEER). All prices include the complete system, labor, materials, permits, smart thermostat, and a 10-year parts and labor warranty.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

Most DFW homes need a 2 to 5 ton AC system. A general rule is 1 ton per 550 square feet. A 2,500 sq ft home typically needs a 4 or 5 ton unit. Two-story homes often benefit from two systems. Our calculator factors in your square footage to recommend the right size.

What's the difference between Economy, Performance, and Premium?

Economy systems (15 SEER) provide reliable cooling at the lowest upfront cost. Performance systems (17 SEER) offer better efficiency, quieter operation, and are our most popular choice. Premium systems (20 SEER) deliver top-tier efficiency and whisper-quiet operation. Higher SEER means lower electric bills — a Premium system can save $200–400/year over an old unit.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing at 8.99% APR for up to 12 years. That works out to about $114/month per $10,000 financed. A 4-ton Economy system at $11,325 would be approximately $129/month. No prepayment penalties.

How long does installation take?

A standard HVAC replacement takes one day — typically 6 to 8 hours from start to finish. Your new system will be running the same day. We handle all permits and schedule the city inspection.

What areas do you serve?

We serve 34+ cities across North Texas including Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Prosper, Celina, Allen, Addison, Richardson, Garland, Denton, Flower Mound, Lewisville, Carrollton, Southlake, Keller, Grapevine, and many more DFW suburbs.
