AC Down in Triple-Digit Heat? Do These Three Things First
Indoor heat climbs fast in a North Texas heat wave, and infants, older family members, and pets feel it first. While our truck heads your way, these three steps protect your family and your equipment.
- If you see ice on the copper lines or the indoor unit, switch cooling OFF and set the fan to ON. The coil thaws while we drive, so we can test and fix it in one visit.
- If the breaker tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call. Forcing a breaker that keeps tripping can destroy a compressor that was fixable an hour earlier.
- Close the blinds, run ceiling fans, and gather in the coolest room. If anyone feels dizzy or confused in the heat, treat that as the emergency and call 911 first.
The free checks that rule out the simple stuff are in our AC troubleshooting guide for North Texas homeowners.

"Brad arrived at my house with very short notice on a Sunday. Advised me of the repair after completing his diagnostics of why the system was not cooling. Completed the repair and the system was cooling within a short period. I would recommend Brad and Trusted Heating and Air to anybody looking for a honest company that isn't just trying to upsale something you don't need. Thank you again Brad."

"Brad was great to work with. Our a/c system stopped blowing air inside the house. He answered after hours and came out that night to diagnose. He had it fixed the next morning. He was professional and didn't try to push a new a/c unit. He provided multiple options and let us decide. We ended up just replacing the motor but will definitely come back to Brad in the future when its time to replace our entire system."

What’s Wrong With Your AC?
Most broken ACs come down to a handful of failures, and the symptom usually points at the part. Here’s the typical cost and whether it can wait until morning.
| Symptom | Likely Causes | Typical Range | Emergency or Can It Wait? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running but blowing warm air | Failed capacitor, low refrigerant charge, dirty condenser coil | $120–1,200 | Call now in summer heat. Most are fixed on the first visit. |
| Won’t turn on at all | Tripped breaker, failed capacitor, thermostat fault | $120–500 | Check the breaker and thermostat first, then call. |
| Ice on the copper lines | Weak airflow from a clogged filter or blower issue, or a refrigerant leak | $150–1,200 | Turn cooling off and run the fan now. Needs a tech before it strains the compressor. |
| Runs all day, house stays warm | Dirty coils, weak capacitor, lost capacity after years of triple-digit run-time | $150–600 | Livable for a few days. Book it this week before it becomes a no-cool call. |
| Buzzing or clicking outside | Failing contactor, capacitor, or condenser fan motor | $150–800 | Stop restarting it. Repeated hard starts are how cheap parts take out expensive ones. |
| Water around the indoor unit | Clogged condensate drain line, or melt from a frozen coil | $95–400 | Switch cooling off to protect floors and ceilings, then get it cleared today. |
Should You Repair or Replace Your AC?
If your AC is under about 12 years old and a small part failed, fix it. If it’s 15 or older and the compressor or evaporator coil went, get repair and replacement priced in writing before you decide.
We get paid either way, so this advice is only worth something if it sometimes lands on the cheaper option. It often does: DFW run-time kills the cheap electrical parts long before the compressor, and those are modest repairs even on a unit you’ve been worrying about. The full decision, including the age thresholds and refrigerant question, is in our AC repair or replace guide for North Texas homeowners.
