Century Old Houses and Brand New Builds, Both Handled
Just a Short Drive Away
Serving Denton for 10+ Years
Denton has some of the most varied housing in the county. There are homes near the Square and the university that have been standing for a hundred years, retrofitted with central air at some point in the seventies and never properly rethought since. Then there are the subdivisions out along the loop where everything is fifteen years old and builder installed.
HMS Heating & Air Conditioning covers all of it from our shop in Krugerville, a short run east of town. In an old Denton house the equipment is usually the least interesting part of the problem: it is the duct that got shoved into a crawlspace decades ago, or a return that is a single grille for the whole floor. Gary Hays started this company in 2015 and we still measure before we quote, because in this town guessing is expensive.

Why Denton Calls Us
What We Actually Do Differently
Licensed and veteran owned. Gary served in the Marine Corps as an aviation electrician before earning his HVAC license. HMS holds Texas contractor license TACLA00065401C.
Pricing before the work. The diagnosis and the options come with numbers attached, so you are deciding rather than finding out at the end.
Around the clock when it counts. Regular hours are 8am to 5pm, but a Denton rent house or a family home with no heat overnight gets answered when it happens.
Every brand, plus the odd ones. Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Amana, American Standard, Daikin, and a fair amount of equipment older than the technician working on it.
We measure instead of assuming. Static pressure, airflow, and temperature split get checked before anything gets recommended. That is why our reviews page reads the way it does.
What Denton Says
Work That Holds Up
Unedited Google reviews. Read a few and you will notice how often people mention being told the truth about what they did not need.
I had been with a different HVAC company for several years and they were going to charge me thousands of dollars to repair my heating unit. I wanted a second opinion, so I contacted HMS. Gary Hays was incredibly polite and professional…
Service techs were on-site within three hours of my call for assistance. The repair price was in line with regional standards, and the technicians were very helpful and nice to deal with. Would recommend this HVAC company for systems and repair.
Andrew and Nate were very professional, honest, & thorough.. They took their time making sure they diagnosed the problem correctly, within a few hours our heating system was running..
HMS deserves every star! Gary and his awesome staff have been helping us with all our HVAC needs for the last 4 years. They have taken very good care of us. Great prices and fantastic service.
These guys were on time and made things happen during the ice storm. Stayed till the job was done and restored my heat. I highly recommend!

Frequently Asked
Questions
The questions we hear most from Denton homeowners, landlords, and people who just bought a hundred year old house.
Still not sure, call our team (940) 222-9313My house is old and the AC never keeps up. Is it just undersized?
Sometimes, but far more often it is the duct. Older Denton homes were retrofitted for central air after the fact, usually with whatever route was easiest at the time. Undersized returns and leaky supply runs will make a correctly sized system act like a small one. We measure static pressure so you find out which it is before buying anything.
I own a rental near the university. Can you work with tenants directly?
Yes. We schedule with whoever is at the property, keep you in the loop on the diagnosis and the cost, and get your approval before the work. It is a common arrangement for us in Denton.
Is a window unit or a mini split better for a converted attic room?
A ductless mini split, almost always. It heats and cools, it is far quieter, it does not block the window, and it can run only when that room is occupied. Attic conversions in older Denton homes are one of the most common mini split jobs we do.
Do you do plumbing too?
Yes. Water heaters, drain cleaning, and pipe repair. In houses of this age the drain lines and the supply lines both come up eventually, and it is the same crew either way.
Will you work on a really old furnace?
We will look at it and tell you honestly. Some older equipment is worth repairing for years to come. Some has a cracked heat exchanger or unavailable parts, and in that case we say so directly rather than dragging it out.
Is there financing for a replacement?
Yes, through our financing partner. It is an online application, decisions are usually quick, and approved work goes on the schedule. Details on our financing page.
What should I try before calling?
Check the thermostat setting and batteries, check whether a breaker tripped, and pull the filter. Older houses run dirtier and filters load up faster than people expect. If all three are fine, call (940) 222-9313.
