Air Conditioning Repair Irving TX | The Gurus Who Fix It First

A Texas Summer Story
It was 101° in Irving when the call came in. A young family’s AC had quit in the middle of the night. This was about 36 hours before I got there. The attic felt like a sauna, the kids were sweating, and every other company they’d called told them the same thing — “You probably need a new system because this thing is 16 years old.”
When we showed up, it took ten minutes to find the real issue: a $345 capacitor. We replaced it, tested the system, and even showed the homeowner how to safely discharge and install one if it ever happened again.
No scare tactics. No upsells. Just a simple repair and a happy family. That’s the difference when you call Heat and Air Gurus — we fix it first and do not try to sell you new equipment every time we come out.
Why Irving Homes Need Smarter AC Repair
Irving is unique. Long summers, thick humidity, and dust from construction keep AC systems working overtime. Older homes in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas often have undersized returns or old attic ducts that choke airflow.
We’ve been working in Valley Ranch since back when the Dallas Cowboys used to train there. We still service many of those same homes today, keeping families comfortable in the same neighborhoods that once hosted America’s Team, who recently lost to the Arizona Cardinals on MNF.
After 25 years in North Texas, we’ve learned that most AC failures come down to three things:
Airflow problems: like high static pressure
Neglected maintenance: dirty coils, filters, fans, and drains
Poor installation design
That’s why every Guru technician is NATE-certified, holds a degree in Applied Science in Air Conditioning, and brings 25+ years of experience.
We measure before we diagnose, wear shoe covers in every home and never leave until your system runs exactly as it should.
Signs You Need Air Conditioning Repair
Your AC usually warns you before it quits. Look for these early signs:
Weak airflow from vents
Unit turns on and off constantly
Unusual noises or burning smells
Sticky indoor humidity even when thermostat says 72°
Sudden jump in your electric or gas bill
Quick tip:
If your system is short-cycling, that’s often a refrigerant or drain issues. Some drains can be cleared by homeowners, but refrigerant should be left to the pros.
The Guru Way: Repair-First, Always
We built this company on one belief — you deserve honest service, not high pressure sales. When you call Heat and Air Gurus for air conditioning repair in Irving TX, here’s what happens:
We Listen First. You tell us what’s going on — we listen. No rush.
We Measure Everything. Static pressure, airflow, refrigerant charge, and electrical readings.
We Explain Clearly. You get a full report (with photos and video) through our Guru Video Report (GVR) system.
We Fix What’s Broken, or soon to be. If a repair restores performance, we do that first.
We Respect Your Home. Shoe covers, clean tools, spotless workspace — always.
“Our job is to fix it right, not sell it twice.” — Luke Barbosa, Owner, Heat and Air Gurus
What Other Companies Miss
Large HVAC companies often treat every call like a race to a replacement sale. We see it every week — techs skip static pressure readings, guess at refrigerant levels, or ignore duct restrictions that cause the same issues to come back.
Here’s what they usually overlook:
Airflow design: the most common comfort killer in Irving homes.
High static pressure: silently shortens equipment life.
Oversized systems: cool too fast, remove too little humidity.
Return bottlenecks: prevent balanced airflow through the house.
We slow down, measure properly, and show you the data so you can make a real decision — without the sales pressure.
Common AC Problems We Fix in Irving
Problem | Cause | How We Fix It |
AC won’t turn on | Failed capacitor | Replace safely, verify voltage and contactor health |
Warm air blowing | Low refrigerant or duct restriction | Seal leaks, correct charge, balance airflow |
Humid or sticky air | Short cycling or oversized unit | Adjust blower speed, add return, improve run time |
Water leaking | Clogged drain or dirty coil | Clear lines, install float safety, clean coils |
Loud attic noises | High static or weak blower | Resize return, correct duct layout, replace failing motor |
We’ve even shown a few handy homeowners how to test a capacitor safely using a multimeter — because we believe an educated customer is a lifelong customer.

What Does Air Conditioning Repair Cost in Irving TX?
Most repairs range from $350 to $890, depending on the issue and parts. Our diagnostics are detailed — not just a “trip fee.” Some companies say, "If you approve the repair, your diagnostic charge is applied to the work." What I have found is those companies just add it on top of the repair! At Heat and Air Gurus we want to be completely transparent from our very first interaction.
We’ll show you exactly what’s wrong, what’s optional (caution), and what’s urgent — all before touching a single wire.
When It’s Time to Replace (and When It’s Not)
Sometimes a system is just worn out. When repairs no longer make sense, we design and install new systems built for performance — not upsells.
We offer:
Carrier, Bryant, and American Standard systems
12-year parts and labor warranties
0% financing for 6 months
One-day installs so your family’s never without comfort
But we’ll never push replacement before repair. That’s the Gurus Guarantee.
How to Prevent Future AC Breakdowns
A few simple habits can save you thousands:
Change filters monthly (or use high-flow media filters).
Keep outdoor coils clear of leaves and debris.
Schedule seasonal tune-ups.
Join the Prime or Wagyu Club for VIP maintenance, discounts, and extended warranties.
According to ENERGY STAR, proper maintenance can cut cooling costs by up to 20% per year. Also check out 10 Tips for Hiring a Contractor here
