Irving Weather and HVAC Load
Irving logs 2,220 heating degree days and 2,824 cooling degree days in a normal year, based on the closest NOAA weather station. Neither season dominates in Irving. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in Texas. On average, Irving gets 29 freezing nights and 106 days above 90°F per year. Snowfall averages about 2 inches. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 40,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.

Irving Housing Stock
Census figures put the median build year in Irving at 1986, so a typical house here has about 40 years on it. Plenty of houses from this period still run original 1990s or early-2000s equipment, which is past its expected service life. Irving has roughly 36,000 owner-occupied homes, or 38.3% of households. Homes here have a median value of $287,300 and households a median income of $79,641. Those two numbers drive the labor adjustment in our estimate.
Dallas County had 44 hail days and 30 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 4 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Dallas County also had 4 tornado days in that period.

Texas Permits, Efficiency Rules and Rebates
Texas is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Equipment replacements in Irving generally need a mechanical permit, and a reputable contractor will pull it for you. Ask for their Texas license or registration number and a certificate of insurance with the quote. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so incentives now come mostly from utilities and state programs. Check your electric and gas utility's rebate page before you pick equipment.
Before You Hire
- For a steam system, hire a contractor who works on steam regularly.
- Ask your gas or oil company about rebates on condensing boilers.
