* Prices are estimates based on Irving market data for 2026. Actual costs depend on project scope, materials, and contractor.
South Irving's smaller 1960s-70s homes (1,200-1,800 sq ft) need 2-3 ton units costing 30-40% less than Las Colinas homes requiring 3.5-5 ton systems.
Las Colinas has many condos and townhomes where rooftop units or compact systems are required. These specialty installations cost 10-20% more than standard residential.
South Irving homes often have original ductwork from the 1960s-70s that has deteriorated significantly. Budget $1,500-$4,000 for duct replacement with a new system.
Many South Irving homes still have R-22 systems. A recharge alone can cost $300-$600 — replacement makes more financial sense for any repair over $500.
Irving's Las Colinas business district means some HVAC companies focus on commercial work. Residential customers may need to specifically seek residential specialists.

Irving follows the DFW summer peak but has a unique advantage — the city's mix of residential and commercial HVAC work means some contractors offer residential specials during commercial slow periods. Late fall and winter remain the best time for system replacements. South Irving's smaller, faster jobs can sometimes be squeezed in during summer at standard pricing when larger projects fill contractors' schedules.
Irving's two-market dynamic extends to HVAC. South Irving's older housing stock means frequent AC failures during summer — these homes often have undersized ductwork, poor insulation, and aging equipment that all contribute to poor cooling. Las Colinas and Valley Ranch have newer, better-insulated homes but their larger size means higher-capacity systems. Irving's proximity to DFW Airport doesn't directly affect HVAC, but the area's commercial density means many HVAC companies are headquartered nearby, giving residential customers good access to established firms.
