Irving sits squarely in the heart of the Metroplex, where summer heat builds early and stays late. With stretches of 95-plus-degree days that can last from June well into September, the demand on residential air conditioning systems here is relentless. A unit that was running fine in April can be pushed to its limit by the time July arrives — and when it fails, it fails fast.

Ellis Air Conditioning and Heating has been serving Irving homeowners and businesses since 1975. Our technicians are familiar with the housing stock, the climate patterns, and the specific wear issues that Irving homes experience year after year. Whether you live near the Las Colinas canals or in an established neighborhood closer to Loop 12, we have a fully equipped truck ready to respond — often the same day you call.

Why Homeowners in Irving, TX Trust Us

Replaced the old with the new. I got a fantastic price on the new heat pump system. The installation went really smoothly, and it is working great. I like this company.

We’ve been clients of Ellis for 20+ years at our home and office. Yesterday we woke to no heat, of course with the coldest temps of the year just 2 days away, we called Ellis.

Ellis air installed an infinity heat pump system at our home 15 years ago. Best thing we have ever done. It has preformed beautifully over the years and is still going strong thanks to Ellis Air.

Jesse came for my semi annual heating checkup. He was prompt, calling ahead to say he was on his way. He was very thorough and explained everything he did.

I highly recommend Ellis Air & Heat. Larry Hatley service Technician came out and checked the unit out. Larry is one of the most pleasant, delightful person to deal with.

Reliable Air Conditioning Repair Services in Irving

Irving’s mix of older residential neighborhoods and newer master-planned developments like Las Colinas means our technicians work on a wide range of equipment ages and configurations. From systems installed in 1990s-era ranch homes to recently upgraded two-stage units in newer builds, we are trained and equipped to handle it all.

The repair services we provide Irving homeowners include:

Refrigerant leak testing and recharge, which becomes especially critical during Irving’s long cooling season when low refrigerant causes systems to run without ever reaching the set temperature.
Capacitor and contactor replacement, two of the most heat-sensitive components in any outdoor unit and among the leading causes of no-cooling calls in midsummer.
Condensate drain line flushing and clearing, important in Irving where spring humidity can cause algae growth that blocks drainage and leads to water damage or system shutoff.
Evaporator and condenser coil service, including cleaning built-up debris that restricts airflow and forces systems to work harder than designed.
Blower motor and fan blade repair and replacement to restore proper air circulation throughout the home.
Control board and electrical component diagnostics, particularly relevant after the power surges that accompany Irving’s spring and summer thunderstorm season.

Whatever the issue, our technicians take the time to find the actual root cause rather than simply addressing symptoms — so the fix lasts beyond the next heat wave.

Warning Signs Your Irving Home Needs AC Repair

Irving’s proximity to the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and its low-lying geography contribute to pockets of elevated humidity that can complicate how an air conditioner manages indoor comfort. Because of this, some signs of AC trouble in Irving homes are easier to miss than in drier climates — the air may feel cool enough on the surface even as the system is straining underneath. Here is what to watch for:

The system runs for long stretches but the indoor temperature drifts higher than the thermostat setting, especially during the hottest part of the afternoon.
Humidity inside the home feels noticeably high even when the AC is running, which can signal a refrigerant issue or a system that is short-cycling before completing a dehumidification pass.
You hear unusual sounds from the air handler or outdoor unit — squealing, banging, or a persistent hum that was not there before.
Certain rooms in the home, particularly those at the end of long duct runs common in Irving’s slab-foundation ranch homes, stay significantly warmer than others.
Your electric bills climb sharply without a corresponding change in how you are using the system.
The outdoor unit runs continuously without cycling off, which places extreme stress on the compressor.

Catching these signs early is almost always less expensive than waiting for a full system failure during peak summer heat.

What Causes Most AC Problems in Irving

Irving’s location in the mid-cities corridor of DFW puts its HVAC systems under a particular combination of stresses. The city’s flat terrain offers little wind relief during summer, meaning outdoor units absorb heat with almost no natural cooling effect from air movement. Compounding this, Irving has a significant share of homes built between the 1960s and 1990s — properties where ductwork may be original, insulation levels are below current standards, and equipment has been running through decades of North Texas summers.

Aging duct systems in these homes often develop leaks at joints and connections, quietly bleeding conditioned air into attic spaces while the living areas struggle to cool down. Irving’s position near DFW International Airport also means some neighborhoods experience more frequent power fluctuations tied to commercial grid activity, which can stress compressors and electronic control boards over time. Add in the region’s alkaline-heavy soil composition, which can accelerate corrosion on copper refrigerant lines that run through or near the ground, and it becomes clear why proactive maintenance matters so much here.

Inside a Typical Service Visit in Las Colinas

On a Wednesday morning in August, we received a call from Diane, a homeowner in the Valley Ranch area of Las Colinas. Her two-story home had been cooling unevenly for about a week — the downstairs felt fine, but the upstairs bedrooms were stuck in the upper 80s no matter what she set the thermostat to. She had assumed it was just the heat and kept putting off the call.

When our technician arrived, he found the upstairs zone’s air handler had a blower motor that was running at reduced speed due to a failing capacitor. The motor was drawing power but not moving nearly enough air to keep up with the load on the second floor during peak afternoon heat. He replaced the capacitor and tested the motor’s output, confirmed airflow had returned to spec, and checked the refrigerant charge on both zones while he was there.

The whole job wrapped up in just over an hour. Diane mentioned she had noticed the problem building for a few weeks but figured it would sort itself out. Before leaving, the technician explained how a annual spring tune-up could have flagged the weakening capacitor before it became a comfort issue in the middle of Irving’s hottest month.

We have been part of the DFW community since 1975 — long enough to have serviced homes in Irving across multiple generations of ownership.

Every service truck is fully stocked with the components most commonly needed in DFW-area homes, which means we can complete most repairs in a single visit rather than leaving you without AC while we wait on parts.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, because a failed AC at 10 PM in an Irving summer is an emergency — full stop.
Our estimates are free and our pricing is straightforward. We explain what we found, what it will take to fix it, and what it will cost before any work begins.

When you call Ellis, you are working with a family-owned company that has spent five decades earning its reputation one customer at a time. That is not something we take lightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can Ellis respond to an AC repair call in Irving?

We offer 24/7 emergency service and in most cases can dispatch a technician to Irving the same day you call. Our large fleet of service vehicles and multiple DFW service locations help us stay responsive even during the busiest stretches of summer.

My AC is running but my Irving home will not cool down -- what is going on?

This is one of the most common calls we get during peak summer in Irving. The most likely causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty or restricted evaporator coil, a failing blower motor not moving enough air, or duct leaks losing conditioned air before it reaches the living space. A technician can pinpoint the cause quickly during a service visit.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my AC system?

The general rule is that if the system is under 10 years old and the repair is not a major component like the compressor, repair usually makes sense. For systems 15 years or older with significant failures, replacement often provides better long-term value. Our technicians will walk you through both options honestly so you can make the decision that fits your home and budget.

Does Irving's humidity affect my air conditioner?

Yes. Irving sits near the Trinity River floodplain and experiences elevated humidity during spring and early summer. High humidity makes your AC work harder to remove moisture from the air, which increases wear on the system. It can also promote algae growth in condensate drain lines, which can cause backups and system shutoffs if not maintained.

How often should an Irving homeowner have their AC serviced?

We recommend a professional maintenance visit every spring before the cooling season begins. Irving’s long, hot summers mean your system runs hard for five or more months a year, so catching small issues in March or April is far better than discovering them during a July breakdown.
