Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC in Dallas

Do HVAC technicians need a license in Texas?

Yes. TDLR requires HVAC technicians to hold a valid Air Conditioning and Refrigeration license. There are different classes depending on the work performed. Always ask to see the license.

How much does a new AC cost in DFW?

For a typical 2,000 sq ft DFW home, a new AC unit runs $4,000–$8,000 installed. High-efficiency models and variable-speed systems can run $8,000–$15,000 but pay for themselves in energy savings over 5-7 years.

How often should I service my HVAC in DFW?

Twice per year — once in spring for AC and once in fall for heating. DFW's extreme temperatures and dust put extra strain on systems. Regular maintenance extends system life by 5-10 years.

What SEER rating should I get for a DFW home?

As of January 2023, the minimum for Texas is 15 SEER2. For DFW's climate, 16-18 SEER2 offers the best balance of upfront cost and energy savings. Above 20 SEER2 has diminishing returns.

  • 3Consider a home energy audit before replacing your system — insulation issues may be the real problem
  • 4Get at least 3 quotes and compare total installed price, not just equipment cost
