Since 1953, Dring Air Conditioning & Heating has been known for providing quality HVAC services in Carrollton, TX. Our team aims to keep your home comfortable year-round. We offer exceptional comfort services to our friends and neighbors in the tri-county area. We are a family-owned and operated business going back several generations. Our mission is to provide better air quality and comfort to what’s most important, your family. We are the oldest service company in the Dallas area and are proud to have maintained our core values. Because HVAC emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, we offer same-day and 24/7 emergency service repairs when you need them the most. Dring Air Conditioning & Heating is an industry leader that operates on old-fashioned values you can trust.

"I called Dring AC for a $70 "ac summer tuneup." The only reason I even called them was because they bought out the company that originally installed and maintained my origian AC, SunAir. At the time my AC was working without any issues. Dring came out on July 7 for the tuneup. He looked at the system and said there were parts that needed to be replaced. I specifically told him that I was did not want any repairs done because it was working fine and I asked for an estimate for replacement. He called a sales rep to come give me an estimate for replacement. While speaking with the sales rep, the tech said "I'm just going to replace your contactor to keep you running." which I did not authorize him to do. The contactor was one of the parts he claimed needed to be repaired, however I had already told him that I did not want any repairs done because the ac was already running fine. Then the tech came back inside and said after he changed the contactor, the capacitator blew. He then went to replace the capacitator, and a second one blew. Now I'm left with an ac that no longer worked, and according to Dring, was now unrepairable. This entire interaction is all on video, down to the last word, thanks to my home security system which covers both the interior and exterior of my house. At this point it's late on a Friday afternoon, my ac is out, its over 100 degrees outside and I have a pregnant wife and 3 pets living in the house. I had no choice but to move forward with having them replace the ac and was denied any opportunity to do my research or get quotes from other companies for replacing the system. On July 8, they came to replace the system. System was replaced, however, they were supposed to rerun the duct from the ac to the master bedroom and did not do so, despite that being one of my primary initial concerns not to mention was specifically told they would do that during the installation. They also took my $200 Nest thermostat and left a huge mess in the attic. When they "finished" the installation, I was handed an ipad to sign that didn't show me anything other than to sign. I received zero paperwork from the company at any point in time, not even for the loan I had to take out to pay for the replacement. Infuriated, I started to call other companies to get quotes and discovered I was SIGNIFICANTLY overcharged for the replacement system by almost double what it should have cost, literally thousands of dollars. Additionally, I have to find another company to come resolve the duct issue that Dring was supposed to complete and replace my Nest. I was also charged an additional $1k for service to clean all the hvac ducts, except when the duct cleaning company came, they informed me that there was no reason to clean the ducts since a majority of them had just been replaced. After filing a complaint with the BBB, the issue was considered to be resolved upon someone from Dring calling me and leaving one voicemail and then never returning my return calls. Not only was Dring's service reprehensible, it should be criminal to get away with the price gouging that they use. There's no better evidence for this tactic than their pricing timeline structure. Although it is commonplace for companies to use price incentives to encourage a purchase sooner rather than later, the sheer gap between their price for "today" vs one week vs one month, a gap of more than $10k, is just proof of how much they are padding their profits, all at the consumer's expense. At the end of the day, it is absolutely egregious for a company to come in for a tune-up, literally break your AC that was working when they arrived, and the extremely gouge you on the price of replacement. It's beyond egregious. I would NEVER let DRING touch my hvac unit EVER again. You've been warned."

"Here's a more refined, less repetitive version that maintains the same level of frustration and negativity: WARNING: Read Before Hiring Xtreme Air Services If you're considering Xtreme Air Services, take a moment to read this--there's a treat at the end. Surprise, surprise... yet another negative review. Let's start with Eddy O., the so-called "General Manager." Our Experience Eddy made it clear that Xtreme Air Services "wouldn't be able to help us" if we posted negative reviews about their incompetence, despite the fact that they improperly installed our unit, left us with a potential fire hazard, and disabled one of our heat coils (without our consent). Screenshot attached. After leaving us with a heater that doesn't function properly in winter, their solution? Pay thousands more if we want them to "help." Comical. So, in order to get the service we already paid for, we have to stay quiet? Oops. A Few Key Points: 1. Threatening not to help the customer with an issue you created? That's just ignorant. Zero integrity. 2. Why would we pay more to an unprofessional company that sends unqualified, non-bonded, non-insured workers to botch an installation? Rude, unaccountable, and incompetent from top to bottom. 3. This experience makes spending our money elsewhere EASY. The CEO is an imbecile. We paid over $12K for a unit that now operates on half power because the breaker they installed can't handle it. A professional company would've caught this--Xtreme Air Services didn't. Even their own seventh technician admitted, within seconds, that it was installed incorrectly. Still not convinced? Let's Talk Fire Hazards Both the Xtreme Air Services technician AND a third-party electrician confirmed our system was a fire hazard. Eddy (who is not a licensed electrician) claimed it wasn't because "that's why the breaker trips." That's not how fire hazards work, Eddy. This system was installed in the summer. Clearly, not one of the seven techs they sent even tested the heating function beyond a few moments. Fast forward to winter--our heater trips the breaker after 5-10 minutes, sometimes running inconsistently (aka, a fire hazard). Xtreme Air's Response? * No accountability. * No apology. * Just more incompetence from "General Manager" Eddy, a pompous clown who lacks both professionalism and basic customer service skills. Instead of addressing their negligence, he condescended, interrupted, and dismissed legitimate concerns. He even had the audacity to tell me we "don't have that many cold days in Texas." What does that have to do with selling and installing a properly functioning heating system? The real kicker? Their own sales team KNEW this system wouldn't work. They either failed to test it or outright lied. Either way, we now have a fire hazard and an unusable heater unless we fork over an additional $2,500-$3,000. Xtreme Air Services is an unprofessional, dishonest company that cuts corners and are a JOKE professionally."

Ducts & vents installations and replacements FAQs

A dryer vent allows warm, moist air from inside the clothes dryer unit to escape to the outdoors. Without one, the warm air and moisture remain in your home, leading to mold, rot, and higher cooling bills over time. This project requires cutting a hole in the exterior of your home, so you should hire a professional contractor or carpenter to perform the work.

Use rigid metal when the duct runs behind walls, under floors, or through ceilings—it’s durable and clears lint efficiently. Semi‑rigid metal works well for short, visible sections that need a little flexibility. Your installer will match the material to the layout, but steer clear of flexible foil or vinyl hoses, as they can trap lint and increase the fire risk.

In tight spaces—a compact laundry room, kitchen, or bathroom—a slim or periscope duct lets the dryer sit close to the wall and still vent efficiently. This approach permits the dryer to sit close to the wall while ensuring efficient airflow. Slim vents offer a wide, rectangular design that fits perfectly in confined areas and can be installed vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. If allowed by local codes, surface-mounted ductwork further enhances accessibility and safety.

Plan on hiring a dryer vent cleaning professional to visit your home once a year to keep airflow strong and reduce fire risk. Large households or extra‑long vents may need a check every six months. Regular service sweeps out lint, spots damage early, and helps the dryer run more efficiently.

Qualified professionals for dryer vent installation include HVAC installers who deliver unmatched expertise for safe, secure installations. Experienced handypersons, plumbers, and roofers also perform these projects when the job is simple or when the vent pathway is clearly accessible. An HVAC installer guarantees a proper, code-compliant installation. For complex installations involving concealed ducts or challenging routes, always choose a specialist with a solid track record.

The maximum allowable dryer vent length is set at 25 to 35 feet by local building codes. Any 90-degree turn in the vent layout reduces this maximum by five feet. This exact measurement ensures efficient airflow and minimizes lint buildup, thereby enhancing safety. Adhere to your local code requirements to guarantee a proper and safe installation.
