HVAC questions from Irving homeowners

Are heat pumps common in Irving?

65% of Irving homes heat with electricity[1], which means a heat pump or electric resistance heat.

How old are Irving's homes — and their HVAC systems?

The median home dates to 1986, and 14% were built in 2010 or later[1]. Your own system may have been replaced since — the outdoor unit's data plate shows when it was made.

Which Irving ZIP codes are covered?

75063, 75060, 75061, 75062, 75038, and 75039[5], Dallas County. Nearby pages: Carrollton (10.0 mi), Grand Prairie (12.7 mi), and Lewisville (13.3 mi)[3].

A lot of Irving homes predate 1980 — what does that mean for HVAC equipment work?

36% of Irving's housing units were built before 1980, 11.1% before 1960[1] — the 3rd-highest share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover. The ductwork in an older house is often original even when the equipment is not — ask for a duct leakage check with any replacement quote.

I rent in Irving. Who arranges the repair?

62% of occupied Irving homes are rented[1], the highest share of the 15 Dallas–Fort Worth–area suburbs we cover. Tell your landlord or property manager in writing first; your lease says who arranges repairs.
