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.

Denton County had 53 hail days and 31 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 5.9 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. Denton County also had 4 tornado days in that period.

Texas Licensing and Efficiency Rules
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). A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Texas license or registration number before the visit.
Before You Hire
- If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
- Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
- Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
