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.

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 Furnace Is Telling You It's Time

Some furnace problems call for a repair. Others are a sign that the system has run its course. Knowing the difference can save you money and the frustration of repeated service calls. You may be ready for a replacement if you are dealing with any of the following situations.

  • Your furnace is 15 to 20 years old and struggling to keep up with demand.
  • Your energy bills have been climbing without a clear explanation.
    You are calling for repairs more than once per season.
  • Some rooms in your home are warm while others stay cold.
  • Your furnace is making unusual sounds such as banging, rattling, or squealing.
  • The system is short-cycling, meaning it turns on and off more frequently than it should.
  • Your heat exchanger has cracks, which can allow carbon monoxide to enter your living space.
If any of these sound familiar, it is worth having one of our technicians take a look. We will give you an honest assessment and never recommend a replacement unless it genuinely makes sense for your situation.

How Long a Furnace Generally Lasts

Most furnaces are built to last between 15 and 20 years with proper maintenance. In the Dallas area, furnaces tend to see less heavy use than in colder climates, which can occasionally extend that lifespan. However, systems that have been poorly maintained, oversized, or undersized for the home often wear out faster regardless of age.

Humidity fluctuations common to North Texas can also affect internal components over time, contributing to rust, corrosion, and wear on heat exchangers and other parts. If your system is approaching the 15-year mark and starting to show signs of strain, it is worth evaluating whether continued repairs are the right investment.

Furnace Systems Worth Considering

Today’s furnace options offer significantly better efficiency, comfort, and control than systems from even a decade ago. Our team will help you find the right fit for your home, budget, and heating needs. Common options include the following.

  • Single-stage furnaces, which operate at full capacity whenever they run and are a reliable, cost-effective choice for many homes.
  • Two-stage furnaces, which run at a lower setting most of the time and ramp up only when temperatures drop, offering better efficiency and more consistent comfort.
  • Variable-speed furnaces, which adjust output continuously for precise temperature control, quieter operation, and the best energy performance available.
  • High-efficiency models rated at 90% AFUE or above, which can meaningfully reduce heating costs over time.
As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we carry equipment built to exacting standards and back it with manufacturer support. We will help you compare options clearly so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size furnace does my home need?
Furnace sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and other factors. Our technicians perform a proper load calculation before recommending any equipment to make sure you get a system that fits your home correctly.
Most installations are completed in one day. The timeline can vary depending on whether any ductwork modifications are needed or if the installation involves additional complexity.
For many homeowners, yes. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but deliver lower operating costs over time. Given that Dallas winters can include extended cold stretches, the savings on energy bills often make the investment worthwhile.
Humidity itself has less direct impact on furnace performance than it does on cooling systems, but it can affect ductwork, air quality, and the overall comfort of your home. Our team can assess your full system if humidity-related concerns are part of the conversation.
