Garland's AC Reality Check

If your Garland home was built before 1985, here's what you're probably dealing with.

R-22 Refrigerant Trap

Older Garland systems still run on R-22 (Freon), which costs $100–$200 per pound. A full recharge can hit $600–$1,200. Every recharge is money you'll never get back when the system finally dies. With R-22 production ended, prices only go up.

Undersized for Modern Standards

1960s–1970s homes were built before energy codes. Poor insulation means a 1,800 sq ft Garland home might need the same tonnage as a well-insulated 2,500 sq ft new build. Original systems were often undersized even by the standards of their era.

Firewheel Exception

If you're in the Firewheel area (2000s construction), your system is likely under 25 years old with R-410A refrigerant. Standard repair territory. Capacitors ($120–$450) and thermostat swaps ($75–$200) are your most likely issues.
