Dallas summers are no small thing.

At Ellis AC & Furnace Repair, we have been keeping Dallas homes comfortable since 1975. Our technicians know this climate, they know these systems, and they know what it takes to keep your AC running reliably through the long Texas summer.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying About 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.

The Value of Keeping Your AC on a Maintenance Schedule

Most AC problems do not show up all at once. They build gradually, starting as small issues that go unnoticed until the system fails on the hottest day of the year. Routine maintenance catches those issues before they become expensive repairs or full breakdowns.

Dallas homeowners deal with some of the most demanding cooling seasons in the country. From May through September, your AC runs almost constantly. That kind of workload takes a toll on components, refrigerant levels, and efficiency over time. A yearly tune-up keeps everything calibrated and performing the way it should, which means lower energy bills, fewer repairs, and a longer system lifespan overall.

What We Check During an AC Tune-Up

Our tune-up process is thorough. We go through your system from top to bottom to make sure every component is doing its job. During a visit, our technicians will inspect and service the following.

We check refrigerant levels and look for any signs of leaks that could reduce cooling capacity.
We clean the condenser and evaporator coils, which collect dirt and reduce efficiency over time.
We inspect and tighten all electrical connections and test voltage and amperage on motors.
We lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and wear.
We check the thermostat for accurate calibration and proper operation.
We inspect the blower components and measure airflow.
We clear the condensate drain line, which is especially important in a humid climate like Dallas where clogs are common.
We check the condition of the air filter and advise on replacement if needed.

When we are done, you will know exactly where your system stands.

How to Tell Your AC Is Due for a Tune-Up

Some homeowners wait for something to go wrong before calling for service. By that point, the repair is usually more involved than it would have been with routine maintenance. Watch for these signs that your AC needs attention.

Your energy bills have increased without a clear reason.
The system is struggling to cool your home evenly or reach the set temperature.
You are noticing unusual sounds like rattling, grinding, or squealing.
The air coming from your vents feels weak or warm.
The system is cycling on and off more frequently than usual.
You cannot remember the last time the unit was serviced professionally.

If any of these sound familiar, it is worth scheduling a tune-up sooner rather than later.

What Seasonal Maintenance Does for Your Home

A well-maintained AC system does more than just cool the air. In Dallas, where humidity levels can make indoor air feel heavy and uncomfortable, a properly functioning system also helps regulate moisture. When components like the evaporator coil and drain line are clean and clear, your system removes humidity more effectively. That makes a real difference in how your home feels, not just how cool it is.

Beyond comfort, seasonal maintenance protects your investment. AC systems are not cheap to replace. Keeping up with annual service extends the life of your equipment and helps you get the most out of what you already have.

Pre-Season AC Tune-Up Specials

The best time to schedule your tune-up is before the heat arrives. Spring appointments tend to fill up quickly in Dallas, and getting ahead of the rush means your system is ready before you actually need it. Contact our team to ask about current pre-season offers and get on the schedule early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule an AC tune-up?

Once a year is the standard recommendation, ideally in the spring before cooling season begins. Dallas summers are long and demanding, so getting your system checked early ensures it is ready when you need it.

How long does a tune-up take?

Most tune-ups take between one and two hours depending on the condition of the system and whether any issues need to be addressed.

Will a tune-up help lower my energy bills?

Yes. A clean, well-calibrated system runs more efficiently, which typically shows up as lower monthly energy costs compared to a neglected unit.

Do I need a tune-up if my AC seems to be working fine?

Yes. Many efficiency and reliability issues develop gradually and are not obvious until the system fails. Routine maintenance catches problems early, before they turn into breakdowns.

Is Ellis AC & Furnace Repair licensed and certified?

Yes. We are NATE certified, a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, and hold a Texas TDLR license. We also carry a BBB A+ Rating.
