Keeping Pace With a City That Grew Fast

Air Conditioner, Furnace, and Heat Pump Repair Throughout Arlington, TX

Arlington monument sign off interstate 30.

Arlington grew quickly. The city counted about 160,000 residents in 1980 and passed a quarter million within a decade, and new neighborhoods spread into far North Arlington and across the south side to keep up. Many of the homes from that boom are now 35 to 50 years old. Most have replaced their original equipment at least once, but the ductwork and electrical connections often date to the day the house was built. Newer communities like Viridian, which welcomed its first residents in 2012, face a different issue: first-generation systems that are starting to need their first real repairs.

Washburn Air brings AC repair to all of it, along with furnace repair and heat pump repair once temperatures drop. Our technicians are comfortable with equipment from every decade of the city’s growth, from aging split systems to the latest high-efficiency models.

  • Locally based: Our home base is Grapevine, which keeps Arlington well within reach for our team.
  • Diagnostic-driven solutions: Before recommending anything, we confirm the cause with real measurements, not guesswork.
  • Fast dispatch: Many calls can be handled the same day, depending on how full the schedule is.
  • Transparent pricing: You’ll know what the job costs, and you approve it before we begin.

What Sets Washburn Air Apart for Air Conditioner Repair in Arlington

Local Ownership, Certified Technicians, and Straight Answers

Experience counts in a city with this much variety, and Washburn Air has been building it since 1960. The company is still locally owned under Taylor Chesnut, and our technicians hold TDLR registration and EPA certification. In Arlington, one call might be AC repair on a 1980s system in the south part of town. The next could be a worn blower motor in an established North Arlington ranch home, or a newer heat pump in Viridian acting up for the first time.

Not every system is worth saving, and we’ll be upfront when yours isn’t. If repairs keep piling up, we’ll help you weigh the cost of fixing it against a new AC installation or furnace replacement, with financing available for larger projects. When a repair is the smarter move, that’s what we’ll recommend, along with any ductwork repairs that would help the system run better.

1. Schedule Your Visit

Reach our office at (972) 226-7485, or request service online any time of day. We’ll confirm an appointment window that fits your plans.

2. Diagnose and Quote

We inspect the equipment, test the electrical and refrigerant sides of the system, and walk you through what we found. Then you’ll get a set price for the work.

3. Repair and Test

With your OK, we complete the repair, then check vent temperatures and overall system operation before calling the job finished.

Two Tune-Ups a Year, Plus Savings Between Visits

At $240 per system per year, which works out to about $20 a month, the residential Comfort Club covers the maintenance most systems need to stay reliable. Your spring appointment focuses on cooling performance before the heat sets in. In the fall, the technician turns to the heating side, testing for carbon monoxide and checking electrical safety.

If you need a repair between visits, membership gets you a discount, faster scheduling, and a replacement credit that grows every year.

Membership Highlights

  • Twice-a-Year Tune-Ups: Each spring and fall visit includes condenser coil cleaning inside and out, drain line service, and safety equipment testing.

  • 10% Off All Repairs: Club members get 10% off repair work on every system they’ve enrolled.

  • Priority Scheduling: Members’ demand calls are handled first, with a technician on site within 24 hours.

  • $100 Annual Replacement Credit: A $100 credit is added each year toward replacing your system, and it keeps adding up with no cap.

Spring HVAC tune ups help keep units running all year round in Dallas Fort-Worth.

Arlington’s Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during a new AC installation?

A proper installation starts with a load calculation to size the system correctly, then moves on to removing the old equipment and installing the new outdoor unit and matching indoor coil. Most straightforward replacements take about a day.

The refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and drain line all need attention during the swap. Your thermostat may need updating, too, especially if you’re moving to a variable-speed or two-stage system.

Before leaving, the technician should test the refrigerant charge, airflow, and temperatures at the vents. Ask for a walkthrough of the new controls and filter location, and keep your paperwork for warranty purposes.

On the hottest afternoons, yes. When temperatures climb past 100 degrees, a properly sized system may run almost continuously just to hold the thermostat setting.

What isn’t normal is a house that keeps getting warmer despite nonstop operation, or a system that never shuts off even at night once the outdoor temperature drops. Those patterns usually point to low refrigerant, a dirty coil, restricted airflow, or a system that’s too small for the home.

Keep blinds closed on sun-facing windows and avoid big thermostat swings during extreme heat. If the indoor temperature keeps climbing, it’s time for a professional look.

Ice usually means restricted airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, closed supply vents, a dirty evaporator coil, or a failing blower motor can all cause the coil to get cold enough to freeze.

Switch the thermostat from cool to off, and set the fan to on so warm indoor air can help melt the ice. Don’t chip at it, since the coil and refrigerant lines are easy to damage. Thawing can take a few hours.

If the ice returns after you’ve replaced the filter and opened the vents, the system likely needs a refrigerant check or a blower inspection. Running it frozen can damage the compressor.

Should I switch my heat pump to emergency heat when it’s cold?

Usually not. Your heat pump’s auxiliary heat turns on automatically when the outdoor temperature drops too low for the heat pump to keep up, so there’s normally no need to switch modes.

Emergency heat shuts the heat pump off entirely and relies only on the backup electric heat strips. That keeps the house warm, but it costs much more to run.

Save emergency heat for times when the outdoor unit isn’t working, such as when it’s damaged, iced over, or making grinding sounds. Then schedule heating repair so you can switch back to normal operation as soon as possible.

In most cases, it’s condensate. High-efficiency furnaces produce water as part of normal operation, and a clogged drain line, a failed condensate pump, or a cracked trap can send that water onto the floor.

During summer, the culprit may actually be the AC evaporator coil, which usually sits right above the furnace. A blocked AC drain can overflow and drip down through the furnace cabinet. A leaking humidifier is another possibility.

Standard-efficiency furnaces shouldn’t produce water at all, so a leak from one may point to a venting problem. Turn the system off, wipe up the water, and have it inspected before the moisture damages electrical parts.

Not always. If your ducts are properly sized, well sealed, and in good condition, they can usually stay. A new system connected to leaky or undersized ducts, though, won’t deliver the comfort or efficiency you paid for.

Older homes from Arlington’s 1970s and ’80s building boom deserve a closer look, since their ducts may be decades old, crushed in spots, or poorly connected.

We inspect the ductwork during any replacement estimate and tell you whether sealing, repairs, or new duct installation would make a meaningful difference.
