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 It Is Time to Replace Your Heat Pump

Heat pumps are built to last, but no system runs forever. In the Dallas area, units that cycle frequently due to long cooling seasons tend to wear down faster than the national average. If your heat pump is showing any of the following signs, it may be time to consider a full replacement rather than another repair.

  • Your system is more than 10 to 15 years old and requires increasingly frequent service calls.
  • Your energy bills have been climbing even though your usage habits have not changed.
  • The system struggles to maintain consistent temperatures, especially during peak summer heat or a winter cold snap.
  • You are noticing unusual noises such as grinding, rattling, or squealing during operation.
  • Humidity levels inside your home feel off, with air that feels sticky or overly dry regardless of the season.
  • A technician has recommended a repair that costs more than half the value of the unit.
If one or more of these describes your situation, a replacement is likely the smarter long-term investment.

How We Handle Heat Pump Installation

A properly installed heat pump performs better, lasts longer, and costs less to operate than one that was rushed or improperly sized. Our process is thorough and transparent from start to finish.

We begin with a full assessment of your home, including square footage, insulation levels, ductwork condition, and your existing system. This allows us to recommend a unit that is correctly sized for your specific home rather than making a one-size-fits-all call. From there, we walk you through your equipment options and provide a clear proposal with honest pricing before any work begins.

On installation day, our technicians arrive in a fully stocked service vehicle and complete the work with care and attention to detail. We handle everything from removing the old equipment to testing the new system under real operating conditions before we consider the job finished. We are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, which means our technicians are factory trained on the equipment we install and held to a higher standard of quality and accountability.

Why Heat Pumps Make Sense for Dallas Homes

Heat pumps offer a combination of efficiency and versatility that makes them a strong choice for the North Texas climate. Here is how they compare to traditional HVAC options.

  • Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from a single system, which simplifies maintenance and reduces the number of units you need to manage.
  • They are significantly more energy-efficient than gas furnaces in mild to moderate winter temperatures, which describes the majority of Dallas winters.
  • Modern heat pumps handle humidity more effectively than older systems, which matters in a city where indoor humidity can be a persistent comfort issue.
  • Variable-speed heat pump technology allows for more consistent temperature control and quieter operation than single-stage systems.
  • For homeowners considering long-term energy costs, heat pumps typically deliver lower monthly bills when properly sized and installed.
Dallas does experience occasional hard freezes, and we will always be honest with you about whether a heat pump alone is the right fit for your home or whether a dual-fuel system that pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace backup would serve you better.

We offer free estimates, 24/7 emergency service, and straightforward communication throughout every job. If a repair is the right answer, we will tell you that. If a replacement makes more sense for your situation, we will explain why clearly and let you make the call.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a heat pump installation typically take?
Most residential heat pump installations are completed in one day. If additional ductwork modifications or electrical upgrades are needed, the timeline may extend slightly, and we will let you know upfront.
For the majority of Dallas winters, yes. Heat pumps are efficient and effective in mild to moderate cold. For homes that experience extended periods below freezing, we may recommend a dual-fuel system that adds a gas furnace as a backup heating source.
Proper sizing requires a load calculation based on your home’s square footage, insulation, window area, and other factors. An oversized or undersized unit will cost more to run and wear out faster. Our technicians perform this assessment before recommending any equipment.
It means our technicians receive factory training on Carrier equipment and are held to standards set by the manufacturer. It also means you have access to full manufacturer warranties and that the installation is backed by both Ellis and Carrier.
We recommend twice-yearly maintenance, typically once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. Regular service helps your system run efficiently, extends its lifespan, and catches small issues before they become costly repairs.
