Common Fort Worth HVAC emergencies
Call Now — (844) 582-179524/7 dispatch · Fort Worth-area network
AC out, blowing warm, or iced over
Outdoor unit silent · indoor blower running but warm air · ice on the refrigerant lines · short-cycling on/off. The most common cause is electrical (capacitor, contactor) or refrigerant — both require a technician.
Furnace not igniting or blowing cold
Furnace won't ignite · blowing cold air · short-cycling · burning smell on first startup. If you smell gas, leave the building immediately and call 911 first.
Banging, screaming, or grinding outdoor unit
Loud bangs · metal-on-metal screaming · grinding or rattling from the outdoor unit. Failing fan motors, loose blower wheels, and worn compressor bearings are the usual causes. Turn the system off and call — running through these noises spreads the damage.

HVAC in Fort Worth, TX: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the Texas licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (KFTW) is the dedicated NOAA reference station for Fort Worth, separate from the DFW metroplex station shared with Dallas. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020 (station USW00003927), Fort Worth records an annual mean temperature of 66.6°F, approximately 2,824.0 annual cooling degree days against 2,220.2 heating degree days, 37.01 inches of annual precipitation, and only 1.6 inches of snowfall. The 1.3:1 CDD-to-HDD ratio is more balanced than Dallas’s 1.6:1 — Fort Worth’s slightly more inland, higher-elevation position yields modestly cooler winters and less extreme cooling load than its metroplex sibling.
U.S. Census ACS 2022 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040 and B25035 for Fort Worth city, Texas) report 334,230 occupied housing units with a median year built of 1992. Heating-fuel distribution: 69.1% electricity (230,951 units), 28.9% utility natural gas (96,563 units), and 3,025 bottled/LP gas homes. Fort Worth’s electric-heat share is higher than Dallas’s 65.2% and its median year built (1992) is a decade newer than Dallas’s (1980), reflecting the city’s faster post-1990s growth into master-planned subdivisions that default to central heat pumps.
Texas Dept. of Licensing & Regulation
Every HVAC contractor working in Fort Worth must hold a current Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contractor license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), governed by Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1302 and 16 TAC Chapter 75. Class A entitles the license holder to work on units of any size; Class B is limited to 25 tons cooling / 1.5 million Btu/hr heating. Applicants must demonstrate 48 months of practical experience under a licensed contractor. Fort Worth’s electricity distribution is handled by Oncor Electric Delivery (TDU), but retail electricity is sold by Retail Electric Providers (REPs) under the Texas deregulated market — meaning residential HVAC rebates flow through your chosen REP rather than Oncor. Natural-gas customers are served by Atmos Energy. For current rebate amounts, use the ENERGY STAR Rebate Finder with your Fort Worth ZIP. Permit fees for residential mechanical work are set by the City of Fort Worth Development Services Department; contact Development Services at 817-392-2222 for the current fee schedule.
