J. Cator
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.
Digger A
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.

How to Tell Your AC Needs Repair

Some AC problems are obvious, and others sneak up on you. Either way, catching them early almost always saves you money. Watch for these signs that it is time to call for service.

  • Your home is not reaching the temperature you set on the thermostat, even after giving it time to catch up.
  • You notice weak or inconsistent airflow coming from your vents.
  • The air coming from your vents feels warm or humid instead of cool and dry.
  • You hear unusual sounds like banging, rattling, or squealing when the system runs.
  • Your energy bills have gone up without a clear reason.
  • You smell something musty or burning when the AC kicks on.
  • The system is short-cycling, meaning it turns on and off more frequently than it should.
Dallas humidity makes these issues harder to ignore. When the air outside is already heavy and muggy, a struggling AC can make your home feel miserable fast.

What's Behind Most AC Problems

Most air conditioning issues come down to a handful of common causes. Understanding what went wrong helps you make a confident decision about next steps.

  • Refrigerant leaks are a frequent culprit and will keep your system from cooling effectively no matter how hard it runs.
  • Dirty or clogged air filters restrict airflow and put extra strain on the entire system.
  • Worn capacitors or contactors are among the most common component failures we see in Dallas homes.
  • Frozen evaporator coils, often caused by low airflow or low refrigerant, can completely shut down cooling.
  • Condenser coils that are caked with dirt and debris struggle to release heat, especially during the peak of a Texas summer.
  • Electrical issues and faulty wiring can cause the system to trip breakers or fail to start altogether.
  • Thermostat problems sometimes mimic bigger issues, making it look like the AC is broken when the fix is simple.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth repairing an older AC unit?
It depends on the age of the system and the cost of the repair. We will always give you an honest recommendation rather than push you toward a repair or replacement that does not make sense for your situation.
Most repairs are completed in a single visit. Because our trucks are fully stocked, we can handle the majority of common issues without waiting on parts.
This is often caused by a refrigerant leak, a frozen evaporator coil, or a failing compressor. A diagnostic visit will identify the exact cause.
High humidity puts extra strain on your AC because the system has to work harder to remove moisture from the air. This can accelerate wear and make existing issues worse if they go unaddressed.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service for homeowners who need help outside of regular business hours.
