Keeping The Colony Comfortable Year-Round

Texas heat around The Colony is legendary for a reason. Extended 100°+ stretches, combined with humidity in the eastern half of the state, mean your AC works harder and longer than almost anywhere else in the country.

Texas summers test the limits of HVAC equipment. Undersized or aging systems simply can't keep up during heat waves.

What The Colony Customers Say

We've had Rhino out to fix our AC unit twice in the several years we've lived here. Both times, he was super polite, professional, and got the job done quickly. Both times, we were able to have it fixed within a day as well. The first time was in the middle of summer, 100+ temperatures. I was sure it would be a week before we could get anyone out. Rhino was amazingly fast and cost effective. Five stars! Would absolutely recommend!!

The Colony HVAC Questions Answered

Find the right HVAC contractor in The Colony. 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.

How much is a new HVAC unit in Texas?

On average, AC replacement costs in Texas range between $5,000 and $12,000+, depending on system size, efficiency, and additional upgrades. For a 2,000-square-foot home, replacing an AC system costs about $8,283 for a 14.3 SEER2 AC and gas furnace split system, with typical costs ranging from $5,634 to $14,686.

Do I need a permit for HVAC installation in The Colony?

The City of The Colony has adopted the 2024 ICC (International Code Council) codes and the 2023 NEC (National Electrical Code) effective July 17, 2025. While specific HVAC permit requirements weren't clearly detailed in available city resources, most major HVAC installations typically require permits and inspections to ensure compliance with building codes.

What HVAC rebates are available in The Colony?

The Colony residents can access Oncor energy rebates for HVAC upgrades, with rebates ranging from $90 to $310 per ton for new central AC or heat pump systems. Federal tax credits up to 30% are also available for qualified energy-efficient HVAC equipment through December 31, 2025, with some credits capped at $3,200 per year.

What's the average electric bill in The Colony?

The Colony residents pay an average of $158-$185 per month for electricity, with residential rates around 13.71 cents per kWh. Your actual HVAC costs will vary based on home size, system efficiency, and usage patterns, but energy-efficient HVAC systems can significantly reduce these monthly expenses.
