Make Roofs Great Again.Whether your AC just stopped working at 9 PM on a July night or you've been limping through summer on a 15-year-old system, Firewheel's insured HVAC technicians have the same answer as they do for every service: diagnose honestly, quote transparently, fix right.

AC not cooling, heat pump acting up, furnace cycling off — insured Firewheel techs diagnose the actual problem and fix it. Diagnostic fee applied toward repair cost if you proceed.
Complete HVAC system replacement — from old system removal to new system startup and thermostat programming. New high-efficiency systems reduce energy bills 20–40% vs. aging equipment.
20–30% of your cooled or heated air escapes through leaky ducts in the average DFW home. Firewheel inspects, seals, and balances your duct system — reducing your energy bill and recovering more comfort than a new system alone.
Replacing your roof and HVAC in the same season just makes sense — same contractor, same crew schedule, multi-service discount. Most DFW homeowners who replace a 15-year-old roof have a 15-year-old HVAC too.
DFW's 100°+ summers mean HVAC failure isn't an inconvenience — it's a health risk. If you're seeing any of these warning signs, don't wait until your system quits mid-July.
A sudden 20–30% jump in your summer electricity bill usually means your HVAC is working harder due to low refrigerant, dirty coils, or failing efficiency.
If your thermostat says 68° but the house feels like 80°, your system is losing the battle — often due to refrigerant loss or compressor issues.
Ice on the coils or water pooling around your indoor unit signals restricted airflow or low refrigerant — don't ignore this; it leads to compressor failure.
Unusual sounds from your HVAC unit almost always indicate a mechanical problem — loose components, failing motors, or debris in the unit.
Most residential HVAC systems are designed for 12–20 years. In DFW's demanding climate, systems at or past 15 years are operating past their peak efficiency.
If you've called for HVAC repairs more than twice in the past two years, you're likely past the repair-vs-replace tipping point. Continued repairs rarely make financial sense.
Firewheel will always give you the honest recommendation — not the one that generates more revenue. Here's how we think about repair vs. replacement.
Your system is under 10 years old, the repair cost is under $1,000, and the rest of the system is in good condition. A targeted repair extends system life significantly at low cost.
Your system is over 12–15 years old, the repair cost exceeds $1,500–$2,000, you've had multiple repairs, or your current system is below 13 SEER (2024 DFW minimum is 15 SEER).
A new 18-SEER system uses roughly 40% less electricity than a 10-SEER 15-year-old unit. In DFW where AC runs 6+ months a year, that savings can pay for a replacement in 5–8 years.
A new system comes with a 5–10 year manufacturer's warranty plus Firewheel's own workmanship warranty — essentially eliminating repair costs for nearly a decade.
Multiply your system's age in years by the repair quote. If the result exceeds $5,000, replacement is typically the smarter financial decision. Example: 12-year-old system × $600 repair = $7,200 → replace. Firewheel will walk through this calculation with you at no charge.
Not all HVAC brands perform equally in Texas summers. We recommend the right system for your home size, budget, and energy goals — and stand behind what we install.
The inventor of modern air conditioning. Carrier's Infinity series offers up to 26 SEER2, variable-speed compression, and whisper-quiet operation — the gold standard for DFW homes.
Up to 26 SEER2Lennox XC25 holds the highest efficiency rating in the residential market. Ideal for larger DFW homes where energy bills are the primary concern.
Up to 28 SEER2"It's hard to stop a Trane" isn't just a slogan. Trane's TruComfort series is built for Texas heat, with dual-fuel heat pump options that handle DFW's variable winters.
Up to 22 SEER2Rheem's Prestige series delivers high reliability and solid efficiency ratings at a lower price point — making it a favorite for budget-conscious DFW homeowners.
Up to 20 SEER2Goodman provides reliable cooling at the most accessible price point. Backed by a strong manufacturer warranty, it's an honest choice for homes focused on upfront cost.
Up to 18 SEER2Daikin's ductless mini-split systems are ideal for additions, garages, and rooms that don't connect to your central system. Energy-efficient zone cooling for DFW's hottest spaces.
Up to 24.5 SEER2SEER2 measures cooling efficiency — higher is more efficient. Texas updated its minimum to 15 SEER2 in 2023. In DFW where AC runs 6+ months annually, every SEER point represents real money. Moving from a 10-SEER system to an 18-SEER system cuts your AC electricity cost by nearly 45%.

Called Firewheel when our AC died on a Friday afternoon in July. A tech was at our house by 8 AM Saturday. Diagnosed a bad compressor, gave us honest repair vs. replace math, and installed a new system on Monday. House was cool again in 3 days. No drama, no gouging, no upsell.
We bundled our roof replacement and HVAC replacement in the same month. One contractor, one discount, one crew to manage. Firewheel coordinated everything perfectly. The multi-service discount paid for the thermostat upgrades. Would absolutely recommend this approach to anyone.
The tech explained the SEER difference, the IRA tax credit, and the 5-year warranty before I even asked about price. That level of transparency is rare. The Lennox system they installed is running our 2,400 sq ft house for about $120/month this summer. Down from over $200. The savings are real.
We pick up the phone. No hold music. Real people.
