AC Repair in Farmersville, TX

Farmersville has historic homes near the square and new subdivisions on its edges, and AC problems differ between them. Here’s what to check before you call.

Farmersville AC trouble: what to check

• Thermostat. Cool mode, setpoint below room temperature.
• Outdoor unit. Clear grass and debris from around it.
• Power. If the whole house is dark, report the outage to your electric delivery company (it’s on your bill) before you call an HVAC company. Some systems wait before restarting after power returns, so give it a little time.
• Older home? Check whether the breaker for the outdoor unit trips.
• Filter.

Still not cooling? Call 972-423-0012, 24/7.

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.

• 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 needs inspection requests in by a cutoff the day before, so if a repair turns into a replacement, we request the inspection by the cutoff for the next day.

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 repair visit works

1. You call. We answer 24/7 and set a time that works for you.
2. Diagnosis. A NATE-certified technician checks the thermostat, electrical, airflow, refrigerant and drain, and finds the cause.
3. Written price. You get upfront written pricing before any work starts. If replacement makes more sense, we show you both options.
4. Permit if needed. If the repair is one Farmersville requires a permit for, we pull it.
5. Repair and test. We fix it, then check the temperature drop across the coil and the drain.
