Air 4 North Texas is based right here in the 76180, off Rufe Snow. That’s not a mailing address I rented to look local — I actually live and work in this city, and it’s where I do most of my jobs.
I’m Anthony Marquez. I started the company in 2021 and I’m still the person who shows up, diagnoses the system and quotes the job. If you call at 11 p.m. because the AC quit, you’re talking to the guy who’s going to be standing in your attic.
(817) 888-7998 — 24/7, including holidays.
Pricing, Written Down
Most companies in this market won’t put numbers on a page. Here’s what the work costs. These are ranges, and your final price depends on the equipment, its age, refrigerant type and access.
- Diagnostic / service call: $89 – $125. After-hours and emergency calls sit at the top of that range. You’ll know the number before I get in the truck.
- Capacitor replacement: $150 – $350. The single most common summer repair I do in this city.
- Contactor replacement: $325 – $475.
- Refrigerant recharge: $200 – $600, depending on how many pounds and whether you’re on R-410A or an older R-22 system. A recharge with no leak repair is a temporary fix and I’ll say so.
- Blower motor: $800 – $4,200, depending on whether it’s a PSC motor or a variable-speed ECM module.
- Thermostat replacement: $200 – $650.
- Full system replacement, straight-cool: $8,000 – $10,000 installed.
- Full system replacement, heat pump: $9,000 – $11,500 installed.
- 17–18 SEER2 high-efficiency system: $13,000 – $18,000 installed.
- Duct replacement: $6,500 – $18,000 depending on square footage and attic access.
- Mini-split, single zone: quoted per job — line-set length and electrical availability move the number more than the equipment does.
Two rules I work by. First, if the repair is going to cost more than about half of a replacement on a system past 12 years old, I’ll tell you, and then I’ll let you decide. Second, I don’t quote a replacement on a system I haven’t diagnosed.
Five Different Cities Inside One City
North Richland Hills doesn’t have one kind of house. It has at least five, and they each fail differently.
Original NRH near Loop 820. The oldest streets here date to the mid-1950s. These are small brick homes with closet or hall furnaces, tight crawl-space returns and ductwork that has been patched by five different companies. My work here is mostly heating repair, return-air corrections and right-sizing replacements that somebody previously over-sized.
Smithfield. Still feels like its own town. Older homes with mature pecan and oak shade, which cuts the cooling load but drops a lot of debris into condenser coils. Half my summer calls in Smithfield are coils that haven’t been washed in five years.
Foster Village and the Watauga side. 1970s and ’80s stock in 76182 and along the 76148 line. Standard split systems in low attics. Flex duct that has sagged, kinked or come loose at the boot.
HomeTown NRH. The 287-acre mixed-use development between Mid Cities Boulevard and Highway 26 (NCTCOG). Newer, tighter, often two-story with a single system trying to serve both floors. These get zoning problems, not capacity problems: 74 downstairs and 82 in the upstairs bedroom. Sometimes the fix is a damper and balancing. Sometimes it’s a second return upstairs. Rarely is it a new condenser.
North of North Tarrant Parkway and along Davis Boulevard (FM 1938). 2000s and newer construction, unshaded roofs, big open floor plans, two systems. Here the questions are usually about efficiency, staged equipment and whether a variable-speed system is worth the premium. I’ll give you a straight answer, including when it isn’t.
I also work the commercial side around Mid Cities Boulevard, Precinct Line Road and Rufe Snow — small offices, salons, restaurants and the walk-in coolers behind them.
Landmarks I’m Usually Working Near
If you’re near NRH2O Family Water Park, Iron Horse Golf Course, Iron Horse Village, the NYTEX Sports Centre, Medical City North Hills, the TCC Northeast Campus on Harwood Road, or the Smithfield Road corridor, you’re inside my normal daily radius.
ZIP codes served: 76180 and 76182, plus the NRH addresses that fall into 76117 and 76148 near the city edges.
What I Do
AC repair. AC installation and replacement. Heating and furnace repair. Full HVAC installation. Maintenance and tune-ups. HVAC inspections for real estate transactions. Ductwork installation and modification. Mini-split installation. Attic insulation inspection. Light commercial HVAC. Refrigeration.
That’s the whole list, and I do all of it myself. I’m not going to subcontract your duct job to somebody you’ve never met.
Allergy Season Is a Real HVAC Problem Here
People move to North Richland Hills and think their allergies got worse. Their allergies didn’t get worse — their filtration did. This area gets oak, cedar, elm and pecan pollen through spring and ragweed from August into November (IQAir Fort Worth pollen data), and a leaky return duct pulls all of it out of a 130-degree attic and blows it into your bedroom.
If that’s your house, the answer usually isn’t an expensive air purifier. It’s sealing the return, fixing a filter rack that doesn’t actually seal, and putting in a filter that fits. That’s a cheap visit and it makes a bigger difference than most add-ons people get sold.
And then there’s the other extreme. February 2021 saw DFW hit minus 2 degrees and stay at or below freezing for 139 consecutive hours (National Weather Service, Fort Worth). Heat strips failed, furnaces that hadn’t been inspected in a decade wouldn’t light, and everybody called at once. I’d rather look at your heat in October.

North Richland Hills HVAC Questions
Are you actually located in North Richland Hills? Yes — Air 4 North Texas is based in North Richland Hills, TX 76180. It’s a home base, not a storefront you can walk into, so calls and scheduling run through the phone: (817) 888-7998.
How fast can you get here? Most NRH addresses are inside 15 minutes for me. Smithfield, Iron Horse, Foster Village and the Davis Boulevard corridor are all short runs. On a no-cool in August I’ll give you a real window when you call.
My upstairs won’t cool but downstairs is freezing. Do I need a second system? Usually not. In two-story NRH homes — HomeTown, the newer subdivisions north of North Tarrant Parkway — that’s almost always a distribution problem: not enough return air upstairs, undersized supply runs, or dampers that were never balanced. A second system is the most expensive possible answer to that question and it’s rarely the right one.
Do you handle permits on a full system replacement? Yes, replacements are done to code and permitted through the city where a permit is required. Ask me about it on the estimate and I’ll walk you through what NRH requires.
Can you service a walk-in cooler for my shop? Yes. I do refrigeration and light commercial HVAC for small businesses around Mid Cities Boulevard, Rufe Snow and Davis Boulevard. Rooftop units, splits and coolers.
Do you offer maintenance visits, or only repairs? Both. Spring and fall tune-ups on the same system, done by the same person, catch the things that turn into emergency calls: weak capacitors, dirty coils, cracked condensate lines, and igniters that are on their way out.
Call
Repairs and installs aren’t the only reason to call. I book standalone inspections too:
- HVAC equipment inspection — condenser, air handler, electrical, refrigerant charge, and a straight answer on remaining life
- Ductwork inspection — leakage, static pressure, undersized returns, and what a fix actually costs
- Attic insulation inspection — current depth versus what it should be, and whether topping it off pays for itself
- Indoor air quality inspection — filtration, ventilation and humidity control, worth doing in NRH where cedar and oak pollen get pulled straight through leaky returns
Buying a house in HomeTown or Smithfield, selling one, or just tired of guessing why the upstairs never cools — an inspection tells you where you stand before you spend anything.
