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.

When Your HVAC System Needs Immediate Attention

Not every HVAC issue is an emergency, but some situations require same-day service. Dallas summers are relentless, with temperatures regularly climbing above 100°F, and the high humidity can make a home without air conditioning feel dangerous within hours. Similarly, winter cold snaps in North Texas can push temperatures into the teens, making a failed furnace a serious concern. If your system has stopped working entirely, is producing unusual smells or sounds, is causing indoor temperatures to become unsafe, or is showing signs of an electrical issue, these are situations that shouldn’t wait. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it’s worth a call.

HVAC Problems We See Most Often After Hours

Emergency calls tend to follow patterns, especially in a climate like Dallas. Some of the most common situations we respond to include:

A complete system shutdown during peak summer heat, often caused by a failed capacitor, tripped breaker, or refrigerant issue
A furnace that won’t turn on during an overnight cold snap, frequently tied to ignition failure or a dirty flame sensor
Refrigerant leaks that cause the system to run constantly without cooling the home effectively
Frozen evaporator coils resulting from restricted airflow or low refrigerant charge
Electrical faults or burning smells that require immediate attention for safety reasons
Thermostat failures that leave homeowners with no control over their system

Steps to Take Before Your Technician Arrives

There are a few things you can do while waiting for our technician that may help protect your home and your system. First, check your thermostat settings and replace the batteries if it’s unresponsive. Next, inspect your air filter and replace it if it’s visibly clogged, since restricted airflow is a common cause of system failures. Check your circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers related to your HVAC equipment. If you smell gas or notice burning odors, turn off the system immediately and move your family outside before calling. During extreme heat, close blinds and interior doors to keep cooler air contained in the rooms you’re using. In cold weather, gather blankets and use interior rooms to stay warm while help is on the way. These small steps can make a real difference while you wait.

Our technicians can help you identify the right filter type and MERV rating for your specific equipment and household needs, so you get the protection you are looking for without compromising system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as an HVAC emergency?

Any situation where your home’s temperature becomes unsafe, you detect unusual odors like burning or gas, or your system has completely stopped working during extreme weather should be treated as an emergency.

How quickly can Ellis respond to an emergency call in Dallas?

We provide 24/7 emergency service and aim to respond as quickly as possible. Our large fleet of service vehicles and multiple service locations help us reach Dallas homeowners without unnecessary delays.

Will I pay more for after-hours emergency service?

Emergency and after-hours service calls may be priced differently than standard appointments. We’ll be upfront about any applicable fees before work begins so there are no surprises.

Can Dallas humidity cause my HVAC system to break down?

Yes. High humidity places extra strain on your air conditioning system, causing it to work harder and run longer. Over time, this increases wear on components like the compressor and capacitor, which are among the most common failure points we see in Dallas-area homes.

What should I do if I smell gas near my HVAC system?

Do not attempt to operate the system or any electrical switches. Leave your home immediately and call your gas provider and emergency services before contacting an HVAC technician.
