AC Installation and Replacement in Farmersville, TX

Farmersville has its own HVAC Unit/Mechanical Permit, issued only to registered contractors. Here’s how an AC replacement works in Farmersville.

Getting a new AC in Farmersville

• Ducts. Crawlspace and attic ducts in older homes may need work.
• Refrigerant on the data plate.
• Check the approved contractor list. The City publishes it.
• Electrical. Older homes may need the circuit checked for a new unit.

We check each of these on the first visit.

Farmersville homes and what their age means for your system

Farmersville is a small town with an old core and new growth at the edges. The Census estimates about 37% of homes were built before 1960 and about 27% since 2010, with a median of 1980. Nearly all homes are detached houses. (Census estimates for a town this size have wide margins of error, so treat these as approximate.)

The Census counts about 1,671 homes in Farmersville. Here’s how they break down by decade built:

The house’s age doesn’t tell you the system’s age. The data plate on the outdoor unit does, and it’s the first thing we read.

In Farmersville’s older homes near the square, central air was added long after the house was built, often with ductwork in a crawlspace or attic and an electrical circuit that may need checking before a larger unit goes in. In the new subdivisions, systems are new, and the calls are drains, thermostats and refrigerant leaks at fittings. Farmersville is at the eastern edge of our service area, so call early and we’ll schedule the visit. In homes with crawlspaces, ducts under the floor can be crushed, disconnected or damp, and we check them along with the equipment.

Farmersville permits for HVAC work

• Inspections are requested through OpenGov. The City doesn’t do inspections the day they’re requested; requests for the next day must be in by 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, or 10:30 a.m. Friday.
• Building, Permitting and Inspections: 205 S. Main Street, 972-782-6151.
• The City of Farmersville has a specific HVAC Unit/Mechanical Permit, applied for through its building permit portal.
• Licensed contractors must register with the City before a permit can be issued. Registration has no fee, and the City publishes a list of approved contractors.

Dallas Heating and Air Conditioning is registered with the City of Farmersville as a mechanical contractor. For a replacement, we pull the permit and schedule the inspection.

Farmersville publishes a list of approved contractors. Check that your contractor is on it before you sign, since the City won’t issue a permit otherwise.

Refrigerant and efficiency rules that affect your decision

R-22. The EPA ended the manufacture of new R-22 equipment in 2010 and the production and import of R-22 itself on January 1, 2020. An R-22 system can keep running, but it can only be recharged with recovered or reclaimed R-22. A large leak on an R-22 unit is often the point where replacement makes more sense than repair.

SEER2. Since January 1, 2023, Department of Energy rules require new split-system central air conditioners installed in the Southeast region, which includes Texas, to meet at least 14.3 SEER2 under 45,000 Btu/h and 13.8 SEER2 at 45,000 Btu/h and up. New split heat pumps nationwide must meet 14.3 SEER2. See SEER vs. SEER2.

New refrigerants. Under the EPA’s AIM Act rules, new home air conditioners and heat pumps are moving to refrigerants with lower global warming potential, such as R-454B and R-32. Read what the R-410A phase-out means.

How a Farmersville installation works

1. Home visit. We check the equipment, ducts, electrical, attic access and the refrigerant type on the data plate.
2. Sizing. We size the system for the house, its insulation, windows and ducts, not by copying the old label.
3. Written options. Upfront written pricing for each option before any work starts. Financing available.
4. Permit. We pull the Farmersville permit.
5. Installation. Outdoor unit, matched coil or air handler, refrigerant lines, drains, electrical and thermostat as needed.
6. Startup and inspection. We charge and test the system, then the City inspects it.

When it makes sense to replace

• The house never gets comfortable even after repairs
• You’re adding or remodeling space and the old system can’t keep up
• Your current system has failed and repair isn’t worth it
• An R-22 system has a large leak

Upfront written pricing before any work starts

Every replacement starts with a written proposal. Here’s what goes in it:

• Each equipment option is priced on its own.
• Financing available.
• What the written proposal covers: the equipment, matched indoor coil or air handler, refrigerant lines, drain, electrical connections, thermostat, permit and inspection.
• Any duct, attic access or electrical work the City will check is listed separately.
