DeSoto HVAC Questions Answered
Find the right HVAC contractor in DeSoto. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.
How often should I change my air filter?
Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?
General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.
How often should I schedule maintenance?
Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.
Do I need a whole-house dehumidifier in a humid climate?
Often yes. In states like Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, humidity can overwhelm your AC's dehumidification ability. A whole-house dehumidifier keeps indoor humidity at 45-50% for better comfort and prevents mold growth.
What SEER rating should I get for hot, humid weather?
Aim for 16+ SEER in hot climates. Higher efficiency saves more money when your AC runs 8+ hours daily. Many Texas and Florida homeowners save $300-500/year upgrading from a 14 SEER to 18+ SEER unit.
How often should I service my AC in a hot climate?
Every 6 months minimum. Systems in hot, humid states work twice as hard as those in mild climates. Spring and fall tune-ups catch problems before they become expensive breakdowns during peak season.
What is the life expectancy of an HVAC system in DeSoto, Texas?
In Texas, most central ACs and heat pumps are ready for replacement around 10 to 15 years, and furnaces around 15 to 20 years. If your AC is 12 to 15 years old with rising repairs or bills, or your furnace is nearing 20 to 30 years, plan replacements in spring or fall to avoid peak summer demands.
Do I need a permit for HVAC installation in DeSoto?
Yes, HVAC permits are required in DeSoto for installation and major repairs. The City of DeSoto charges $62.50 for single trade permits including HVAC work. Permits ensure your system meets local building codes and safety standards adopted by the city.

However, DeSoto residents can choose their retail electric provider for competitive rates. In case of power outages or electrical emergencies, contact Oncor, not your retail provider.
