Air Conditioning & Heating costs the average homeowner about $1,000 a year. That’s nearly half the home’s total energy bill. If your AC unit is more than 12 years old, replacing it with a new, Energy Star qualified model could reduce cooling costs by 30%. (Reference: EnergyStar.gov)

• AC Repair Questions and Answers in Dallas, TX:

AC Repair Costs depend on who performs the repair, what type of repairs are made, whether it involves parts or complete replacement, and what the company charges for those services, and also the value of the warranty of parts and labor. Of course, the cost of things fluctuates widely, not only due to market costs, inflation, availability, but also based on the labor market and value that company is providing you.

AC repairs in Texas can cost from a couple hundred dollars up to several thousand dollars. AC replacement costs in Texas can vary from as low as $5,000 to $7,000, up to $20,000 or more, per system, again, depending on what is included in the replacement. A comprehensive replacement can include the evaporator, blower, condenser, compressor, fan, filter and thermostat, plus the furnace, air ducts, insulation and indoor air quality products. So there’s no exact price point for repairing or replacing your AC system since there are so many variables including the system size, SEER, noise and reliability, which is why you need to work with only reputable companies that provide licensed, background checked, certified technicians that have a good reputation.

AC repairs can be done by anyone who claims to be an AC repairman. There are countless horror stories about homeowners getting ripped off by conmen, only to have to then call in a reputable company to “fix” the problems they caused by their “cheap” repairs, usually costing that homeowner much more than what it would have cost to have it done right the first time.

Since every home is uniquely designed, homeowners should request licensed, certified HVAC companies to provide an estimate for repairs or replacement. Learn how to do that in the next section below.

The cost of HVAC repairs in Dallas (or anywhere for that matter) will depend on things such as the size (measured in tons), efficiency (measured as SEER, which stands for seasonal energy-efficiency rating), the noise (measured in decibels), and reliability (or how fast it cools a room, which ties back to whether the Air Conditioning System is properly sized for your home, and also whether you will maintain it correctly).

One ton of cooling is equal to 12,000 Btu/hr. For sizing guidance you can refer to the Energy Star website, but ultimately, you need a professional HVAC contractor to do a load calculation to see what you need. Under or oversizing a system for your home can cause significant issues

As of the writing of this, the minimum SEER allowed for new split systems in the United States is 14 SEER. That is at least 20% more efficient than models made 10 years earlier (according to consumer reports in March of 2022) which means systems made in 2012.

Higher SEER air conditioners will cost more but typically pay for themselves over time via much lower energy costs. Energy Star guidelines require a minimum of 15 SEER and the most efficient models today get up to 26 SEER. Based on your home and budgetary needs, your professional HVAC expert can provide you with the best options to meet your needs.

Most homeowners prefer a quiet HVAC system. If the outside condenser is near a bedroom or window, this becomes even more important. HVAC noises can come from several sources. Common sounds homeowners may experience coming from outside in the AC condenser, include screeching or squeals, which can mean a bad fan belt is in the motor (similar to a car when the fan belt is bad). Special lubricants are designed specifically for these motors and belts, and you should consult or request the service of a professional before attempting to fix anything yourself. In addition, it could void your warranty. Other HVAC sounds include thumping or batting which can come from something being stuck in the fan blades and can also mean problems for air flow. Buzzing sounds could mean a compressor malfunction or refrigerant leak that can cause the unit to freeze.

AC sounds inside the home like rattling, clanking or banging could be associated with the blower motor or assembly and or parts that are loose or broken. Louder or banging sounds are serious problems that require immediate attention and should be turned off until a professional arrives to assess the situation.

Regardless of the sounds, if they are abnormal, or increasing, you need to contact your local, licensed, HVAC repair service provider near you.

The best way to validate that an HVAC Company is legitimate and trustworthy is to confirm their license is current. In Texas, this is found at https://www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch/?program=ACR and you will need to know the company’s current license number, usually provided on their website, or available by calling and requesting this. HVAC licenses in Texas are preceded by TACLA or TACLB, which stands for Texas Air Conditioning License (Class A or B). You will need the five-digit number that follows TACLA or TACLB. For reference, the difference is that A Class A HVAC license in Texas allows you to work on a heating or cooling unit of any size or energy output. Compared to a Class B license that restricts working on cooling systems up to 25 tons and heating systems with up to 1.5 million BTUs/hour.

1. Find out if the HVAC company meets the licensing and insurance requirements outlined by your State.
2. Take an inventory of your current HVAC system (know the model and maintenance history). Understanding this information will help you better explain an issue to a technician.
3. Ask the company for customer references and inquire about the company’s air conditioning installation and service performance record. You can also check the Better Business Bureau for information on the company.
4. Look for available HVAC rebates on energy efficient equipment that meets the strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
5. For installations of new air conditioning equipment, the technician should size the cooling system based on the size of your house, level of insulation, and windows. They may also inspect the home’s duct system (if applicable) for air leaks and measure airflow to make sure it meets manufacturer’s specifications.
6. Ask for written, itemized estimates, but remember that the lowest price may not be the best deal. If a system is not efficient, your energy costs will be higher.
7. Ask for a written proposal of work. It will protect you by specifying project costs, model numbers, job scheduling, and warranty information.
