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.
Judy O.
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.
Don B.
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.
Tommy M.
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.

Signs Your HVAC System Is Due for an Inspection

Some warning signs are obvious, and others are easy to dismiss until they turn into something more serious. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a good time to schedule an inspection.

  • Your energy bills have gone up without a clear reason.
  • Some rooms in your home feel warmer or cooler than others.
  • Your system is running longer than usual to reach the set temperature.
  • You’re hearing sounds like rattling, banging, or grinding during operation.
  • There’s a musty or unusual odor coming from your vents.
  • Your system is more than ten years old and hasn’t been inspected recently.
  • You’ve had recurring repairs or the same issue keeps coming back.
Dallas homeowners also deal with a specific challenge: the combination of heat and humidity puts more strain on HVAC systems here than in most parts of the country. That strain adds up over time, and regular inspections help catch the effects early.

What We Check During an HVAC Inspection

A thorough inspection covers more than just a quick look at the equipment. Our technicians work through a complete evaluation of your system to give you an honest picture of where things stand.

  • Checking refrigerant levels and looking for signs of leaks.
  • Inspecting electrical components, connections, and controls for safety and function.
  • Testing the thermostat for accurate calibration and proper communication with the system.
  • Evaluating airflow through the ductwork and identifying any restrictions or leaks.
  • Cleaning or inspecting the evaporator and condenser coils.
  • Examining the blower motor and fan for wear or performance issues.
  • Assessing the heat exchanger for cracks or damage in heating systems.
  • Reviewing the overall condition of the unit and flagging any components showing early signs of wear.
At the end of the inspection, you’ll get a straightforward report of what we found. If something needs attention, we’ll explain it clearly and give you honest options. We don’t pressure and we don’t upsell.

Protecting Your Comfort Year-Round in Dallas

Dallas weather doesn’t give HVAC systems much of a break. Summers routinely bring temperatures above 100 degrees, and the humidity that comes with them makes your cooling system work significantly harder to maintain indoor comfort. In winter, temperatures can swing dramatically in a matter of days, putting your heating system through sudden heavy use.

That kind of climate demands that your equipment be in good shape heading into each season. An inspection in the spring helps ensure your cooling system is ready before the worst of the heat arrives. An inspection in the fall gives you confidence going into heating season. When systems are well-maintained, they run more efficiently, last longer, and are less likely to fail when demand is highest.

Indoor air quality is also part of the picture. Dallas’s heat and humidity create conditions where dust, pollen, mold spores, and other contaminants can accumulate in your system and circulate through your home. An HVAC inspection gives us the opportunity to flag air quality concerns and recommend solutions when they’re needed.

The Ellis Difference for Dallas Homeowners

There are a lot of HVAC companies operating in the Dallas area, but not many of them have been doing this since 1975. Ellis AC & Furnace Repair is family owned and operated, and that hasn’t changed in over 50 years. Our technicians average more than ten years with the company, which means the person showing up at your door has real experience and a long track record.

We’re a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, NATE-certified, and hold a BBB A+ Rating. Our service trucks are fully stocked so we can handle most repairs the same day. We offer 24/7 emergency service because we know a system failure doesn’t wait for business hours.

What sets us apart most is something harder to put on a certification: we’re honest. We give you clear information, straightforward pricing, and recommendations you can trust. If you’ve worked with HVAC companies that left you feeling uncertain or oversold, Ellis is a different experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my HVAC system inspected?
Most systems benefit from an inspection once a year at minimum. In Dallas, where systems run hard due to extreme heat and humidity, twice-yearly inspections in spring and fall are a smart approach.
An inspection is a thorough evaluation of your system’s condition and performance. A tune-up typically includes light maintenance tasks performed during or after that evaluation. Many service visits include both.
Yes, that’s the primary benefit. Inspections allow technicians to identify wear, performance issues, and early failure signs before they lead to a breakdown or a more costly repair.
Most inspections take between one and two hours depending on the size and condition of the system. Your technician will walk you through the findings before leaving.
Yes. We inspect both heating and cooling equipment and can evaluate your full system in a single visit, including ductwork and indoor air quality components.
