AC Repair FAQ — Frisco, TX

It depends entirely on what broke. A capacitor is one of the cheaper fixes. A refrigerant leak repair costs more because we have to find the leak first, then recharge the system. A compressor failure is the most expensive repair short of a full replacement. Every job is different. Call for a free estimate.

Call (254) 279-4716 and we will tell you what is available. In the peak summer months, June through August, demand in Frisco is high and slots fill up fast. If your house is getting dangerously hot, say so when you call and we will do what we can.

A frozen coil is usually caused by low airflow or low refrigerant. A dirty air filter is the first thing to check. If the filter is fine, you likely have a refrigerant leak or a failing blower motor. Frisco summers put systems under constant load, which makes these problems show up faster.

If the system is under 10 years old, a repair usually makes more sense. Most homes in Frisco built in the early 2000s are at the age where the big parts, compressors and coils, start to go. A technician who inspects the system can tell you whether what is left is worth keeping.

Most repairs, like replacing a capacitor or adding refrigerant, do not require a permit. Full system replacements do require a permit through the City of Frisco. We handle the permit process for any job that legally requires one.

The most common reasons are low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. In older homes in the Stonebriar and Eldorado areas of Frisco, dirty ductwork can also be the culprit if the system has never been serviced. A proper inspection will narrow it down quickly.
