Tarrant County had 58 hail days and 38 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 5 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. Tarrant County also had 3 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
- Many heat pumps carry a 10-year parts warranty if they were registered. Find out whether yours was.
- Light frost on the outdoor unit in winter is normal. A solid block of ice is not.
- Keep two feet clear around the outdoor unit, including snow.

Heat Pump Repair Questions from Mansfield Homeowners
What does heat pump repair cost in Mansfield?
Most bills land between $230 and $1,130, including the service call. A typical visit is about $730. Night and weekend calls cost more.
Why is my heat pump blowing cold air?
For a few minutes during a defrost cycle, that's normal. If it keeps going, the usual causes are a stuck reversing valve, low refrigerant or a thermostat set to the wrong mode.
Is it normal for a heat pump to freeze?
A thin layer of frost in winter is normal, and the defrost cycle should clear it. Heavy ice that stays usually means a defrost control or airflow problem.
