Advanced Cooling

The Cooling King is a family owned HVAC outfit that works out of McKinney and covers Plano along with Frisco, Allen, and the rest of the north Dallas suburbs. They have spent more than thirty years focused on air conditioning and heating repairs plus full installs, and they keep the business small enough that the owners stay involved on most jobs. Local homeowners turn to them when Texas heat knocks out a unit or when an older system needs a complete changeout instead of patchwork fixes that never last. The crew treats every call like regular service work, not a sales pitch, and they stick to honest assessments of what the equipment actually needs.

On a typical day the team handles full system replacements that stretch eleven hours from tear out to startup, making sure every piece of old gear comes out clean and the new equipment runs without leaks or noise. Technicians like Colton walk through each step on blower fan repairs or bearing issues so the customer knows the cost before any wrench turns, and they follow up after the job to confirm everything holds up. They also set up maintenance plans that cover filters and indoor air quality checks, plus heating installs that get systems ready before the first cold snap. Reviews note that crews arrive fast on emergency calls, vacuum up every scrap of debris, and leave the space looking like they were never there.

Homeowners rate the outfit high because the repairs stick and the explanations stay clear from the first phone call through final startup. Speed matters when a unit dies in July, quality shows in complete installs that run quiet and efficient, and communication prevents any hidden charges from showing up on the bill. Price stays reasonable once the real problem gets diagnosed instead of guessed at, and the follow up keeps small issues from turning into callbacks. That record across hundreds of Plano jobs speaks for itself. DIRT Score 5.0 from 406 reviews on Finds.

“They inspected and revamped my entire system and spent 11 hours removing the old equipment and installing a complete new system. They were very professional, explained everything well, and did a fabulous job and even vacuumed up all the debris. I am very pleased with their work and love my new system. I would recommend them to everyone.”

“Colton and the team were amazing! They came to the rescue, it was back in April BUT the experience was so great that I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to do a review. Colton was very communicative and let me know exactly what he was doing, he worked really hard to not have to charge me any to big extra, he was professional and got the job done and got our house back to operational with AC. As it get hotter by the day, I realize how thankful I am to Colton and the Advanced Cooling team.”

“The company was very quick, efficient, and nice. they got the work done really fast. The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is the price of it all, I called them about the internal blower fan and possibly ball bearings on my air conditioning unit and they kept finding things to tack on to the bill. So what should have only been about a $1,200 charge wound up costing me $2,600. Now I'm not entirely positive that that's their fault from what it seems, they were just a lot of contributing factors that were unexpected. I directly needed my air conditioner fixed so other than the price, I have no real complaints. I give them a 7 out of 10 stars but since there is only a five-star system here I'm going to give them 4. My actual rating would be about 3.5.”

“Absolutely professional and informative, took time to listen to issues and acted on it accordingly! Very pleased with the service and follow-up from the Company! Would highly recommend them to anyone!!”

“May, 2026 Colton was exceptional. He was profficient, knowledgeable, courteous and laughed at my jokes. We discussed adding UV bulbs to help keep the coils clean, a new thermostat, a new cover for the outdoor compressor, which he discovered was a potential issue. Kudos, Colton. 07/08/26: My experience with the RGF UV purification system has certainly reduced any mold, allergens and viruses within the two houses, and we've has fewer illnesses, which is important as senior cituzens. At Colton's suggestion, I purchased a Reme Halo for my guest unit, in order to keep those same contaminates at a minimum. Colton's expertise and courtesy is a big plus for my continued patronage of Advanced Cooling. My thanks extends aldo to Jennifer & Nathan.”
