An Arlington, TX Family Replaced a 24-Year-Old System with a New American Standard AC and Furnace

Stories

July 21, 2026

When an Arlington, Texas family’s heating and cooling system reached about 24 years old, Paschal’s install crew replaced it in a single day with a new 3-ton American Standard air conditioner, gas furnace, and coil, and the homeowners left a five-star review for the team.

An Arlington homeowner had an air conditioner and gas furnace that were both about 24 years old and ready to be replaced. In one day, Paschal’s install crew removed the old equipment and installed a new, matched 3-ton American Standard system, a condenser, a gas furnace, and a new evaporator coil, then started it up and confirmed it was cooling. Connie Mobley left a five-star review for installers Jacob and Aramis. A new HVAC system replacement with Paschal starts at $7,999 this summer, and the final cost can vary depending on the size of your home.

The Challenge

A heating and cooling system that is two decades old is living on borrowed time. Parts get harder to find, efficiency drops, and the risk of a breakdown on the hottest day of the year keeps climbing. This Arlington home had an air conditioner and a gas furnace that were both about 24 years old, so the goal was to replace the whole system before it failed, not to keep patching it.

A full replacement is more than swapping a box. The old condenser and furnace had to come out, a correctly sized new system had to go in, and the refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and venting all had to be set up right so the new equipment runs the way it should.

What the project needed to address:

  • Remove the aging air conditioner and gas furnace
  • Install a correctly sized 3-ton American Standard system for the home
  • Set the new condenser, furnace, and evaporator coil
  • Connect the refrigerant line set, electrical, and venting
  • Start the system up and confirm it was cooling before leaving

Our Solution

Paschal handled the project from proposal to start-up. The homeowner reviewed the options, chose a new American Standard system, and used financing to spread out the cost, then the install crew took it from there.

On install day, the DFW team of Jacob Mcgraw and Aramis Medina removed the old 24-year-old equipment and installed the new condenser outside and the new gas furnace and coil inside. They connected the new refrigerant line set, wired the system, set the venting, and confirmed the home was cooling before they wrapped up. The whole replacement was finished in a single day.

Equipment and Work Installed

  • New 3-ton American Standard outdoor condenser (model A5AC4036A1)
  • New American Standard gas furnace (model A801X060BM4S)
  • New matching evaporator coil (model 5TXCB003AS3)
  • New refrigerant line set connections and electrical hookup
  • New furnace venting
  • Removal and haul-away of the old 24-year-old condenser and furnace

The home’s new system is American Standard equipment, a 3-ton condenser matched to a new gas furnace and coil. You can read more about American Standard equipment on the manufacturer’s site at americanstandardair.com. Matching the air conditioner, furnace, and coil as a set is what lets a new system run efficiently and reliably, instead of pairing a new unit with old, mismatched parts.

Cost

Across the broader DFW market, full system replacements generally run from about $7,500 to $16,500, with a typical project near $12,750, depending on the size and efficiency of the system and the work involved. Paschal’s replacement units start at $7,999 this summer, though the final cost can vary depending on the size of your home.

What moves the price is the size of the system your home needs, the efficiency level you choose, and whether any ductwork, electrical, or venting work is required. This homeowner used financing to spread the cost out over time. We never publish what an individual customer paid, but we always give you an upfront price before any work starts, and financing options are available.

What the Customer Said

“Jacob and Arismas, was really great and professional.”

Why This Matters for Arlington

In North Texas, an air conditioner runs hard for a long cooling season, and a 20-plus-year-old system is one heat wave away from a breakdown. Replacing an aging system on your schedule, instead of after an unexpected breakdown, means you choose the equipment, take advantage of financing, and avoid being stuck without cooling in the middle of a Texas summer.

It also pays to replace the system as a matched set. A new air conditioner paired with an old furnace and coil will not perform the way it should. Installing the condenser, furnace, and coil together, sized correctly for the home, is what delivers reliable comfort and efficiency for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to replace an HVAC system in Arlington, TX?

Across the DFW area, full replacements generally run from about $7,500 to $16,500 depending on system size, efficiency, and the work involved. Paschal’s replacement units start at $7,999 this summer, though the final cost can vary with the size of your home. Paschal gives you an upfront price before any work begins and offers financing options.

How long does a full AC and furnace replacement take?

Many residential system replacements are completed in a single day. This Arlington install, which included a new condenser, a new gas furnace, and a new coil, was finished the same day by Paschal’s install crew.

When should I replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?

Most systems last about 12 to 20 years. When a unit is around two decades old, like this one at about 24 years, needs frequent repairs, or struggles to keep up, replacing it is often more cost-effective than continued repairs. A Paschal technician can help you weigh repair against replacement.

Does Paschal offer financing on a new system?

Yes. Paschal offers financing options on new HVAC systems so you can spread the cost out over time, with an upfront price before any work begins.
