Are the prices on this site the real prices I'll pay?

Yes. The price ranges shown ($8K-$14K Stay Cool, $12K-$18K Stay Frosty, $16K-$20K+ It's A Frosty Life) cover Texas homes from 1,400-3,500 sq ft. Your exact price is calculated based on your home details before you pay the deposit. We don't do bait-and-switch.

Is the deposit refundable?

Yes, until equipment ships. After equipment is shipped to your address (typically 24-48 hours after deposit), the deposit becomes non-refundable but is fully credited toward your final invoice. Full terms at /terms.

Can I pay the entire system upfront and skip financing?

Yes. At checkout, you can choose 100% upfront payment via Stripe (credit card or ACH) instead of the 50/50 split. Some buyers prefer this for tax purposes or to avoid the second invoice.

Will my house be a mess after install?

No. Our installer policy includes drop cloths, shoe covers, and full cleanup before leaving. We haul away your old equipment and any packaging from the new equipment. Your house should look the same as before — just with new HVAC equipment.

Do I need to leave the house during install?

No, you can stay home. Power to your HVAC will be off for most of the day, so the indoor temperature will rise slightly (5-10°F) during install. We recommend planning errands in the afternoon if it's a hot day.

What if my old system has freon (R-22)?

We safely recover and recycle R-22 (or R-410A) per EPA regulations during removal. There's no extra charge for refrigerant recovery — it's included in the install price.

How long is the manufacturer warranty?

Goodman, Carrier, and Trane all offer 10-year manufacturer parts warranty when registered. Compressor warranties are typically 10-12 years. Heat exchanger (furnace) warranties run 20 years to lifetime depending on tier. We register your warranty automatically — you don't have to do anything.

What's the difference between parts warranty and labor warranty?

Parts warranty: manufacturer covers replacement parts cost. Labor warranty: we cover the cost of installing those parts. Stay Cool includes 1 year labor; Stay Frosty includes 2 years; It's A Frosty Life includes 5 years. Extended labor warranty available for $3,500 on any tier.

What if my system breaks years later?

Call us. We coordinate warranty claims with the manufacturer and dispatch a repair tech. If your tier's labor warranty is still active, repair labor is free. If expired, you pay for labor at standard service rates.

Do you do commercial HVAC?

No. newacnearme.com is 100% residential. For commercial HVAC, contact a commercial-licensed contractor in your area.

What if I'm renting — can I use this site?

You'd need landlord approval to install a new HVAC system. We can work directly with property owners — many of our customers are landlords replacing rental property systems.

Do you install in mobile homes or manufactured housing?

Yes — but pricing varies. Mobile home installs require specific equipment configurations. Contact us before paying a deposit so we can confirm pricing for your home type.

How Does Frosty's Pricing and Deposit Work?

The deposit covers your equipment order, locks in your price (no surprise upcharges), and reserves your install slot. The deposit is credited toward your final invoice — you're not paying extra. This model lets us avoid the high-pressure in-home sales tactics that plague the HVAC industry.

What Happens During a Frosty's Install?

A Frosty's HVAC install is a single-day 6-10 hour job (8-12 hours for heat pump or dual-fuel) that starts around 8 AM, includes drop cloths, shoe covers, full cleanup, and haul-away of your old equipment. You can stay home — power to HVAC is off for most of the day, and we safely recover any R-22 or R-410A refrigerant per EPA regulations at no extra charge.

Most single-system installs take 6-10 hours start to finish. Heat pump or dual-fuel installs take 8-12 hours. We typically arrive at 8 AM and finish before dinner. Multi-zone or multi-system installs may take 2 days.

What Equipment and Warranty Come With My System?

Every Frosty's HVAC system ships with R-454B refrigerant (EPA-mandated 2025 standard, 78% lower GWP than R-410A), a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty from Goodman, Carrier, or Trane (registered automatically), a 10-12 year compressor warranty, and a labor warranty of 1 year (Stay Cool), 2 years (Stay Frosty), or 5 years (It's A Frosty Life) — extended labor coverage is available for $3,500.

EPA regulations effective 2025 mandate R-454B (or R-32) for all new residential HVAC equipment. R-454B has roughly 78% lower global warming potential than R-410A. R-410A equipment is no longer manufactured for new installs in the US — anyone selling you new R-410A is selling old stock.
