AC repair in Irving

Power to Choose lists Oncor as the delivery company for every retail plan in Irving's 75038 ZIP. You pick the retail provider that bills you; Oncor owns the lines. ERCOT's July 22, 2026 peak topped the previous record of 85,508 MW from August 10, 2023, and both figures stay unofficial until final settlement.

Oncor runs energy efficiency programs through independent service providers listed on its Take A Load Off Texas site when programs are open. Oncor isn't a party to your contract with the provider, so read that contract as you would any other, and ask the contractor in writing whether a program applies to your job.

Irving AC replacement rules

A split-system central AC installed in Texas since January 1, 2023 must reach 14.3 SEER2 below 45,000 Btu/h, or 13.8 SEER2 at 45,000 Btu/h and above. From January 1, 2025, new residential systems must use refrigerants with a global warming potential of 700 or less, though equipment made entirely before that date can still be installed.

1. Search TDLR. The License Data Search lists Air Conditioning Contractors and A/C Technicians. Any company doing this work needs a licensed contractor at each permanent location.
2. Read the license number. TACL/A/000000/C shows class and endorsement; Class B covers cooling systems up to 25 tons.
3. Ask who's coming. Technicians helping a licensed contractor must be registered with TDLR and work under supervision.
4. Ask about the permit. Get the City of Irving permit number in writing and confirm it with the city's building office before work starts.

The TDLR license is good statewide, and since September 1, 2021 Texas cities may not charge licensed HVAC contractors a registration fee, though permit fees still apply. Licensees may not misrepresent the need for a repair. The state licensing law doesn't apply to a person working on a building they solely own as their home, but check the city's permit rules before any self-done AC work.
