Common Plano HVAC Problems We See

• •Oversized systems in 1990s–2000s homes — Contractors used the lazy "1 ton per 400 sq ft" rule instead of doing a Manual J load calculation. A 2,400 sq ft Willow Bend home doesn't need 6 tons. It probably needs 4. Oversized units short‑cycle, waste energy, and leave you humid.
• •Ductwork disconnections from foundation movement — Plano's clay soil shifts your foundation, and that stress travels up to your attic ductwork. Flex duct connections pop loose at boots and plenums. I see this constantly in homes older than 15 years.
• •R‑22 systems still running in pre‑2010 homes — R‑22 refrigerant has been phased out, but plenty of Plano homes still have systems that use it. When they need a recharge, you're looking at $300–$600 per pound for reclaimed R‑22. At that price, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
• •Humidity complaints near parkways and creek areas — Homes along Spring Creek Trail, Chisholm Trail, and near the Plano parkway corridors sit at lower elevations with more moisture exposure. Standard single‑stage systems can't keep up with the humidity in these areas.
• •Two‑story comfort issues in Willow Bend and Legacy — The upstairs is 5–8°F warmer than downstairs. Single‑zone systems can't fix this. These homes need zoning with separate thermostats per floor, or at minimum, a variable‑speed air handler that can adjust airflow.
