The Short Answer

Paris Air Conditioning Co. on Pine Mill Road is the strongest all-round answer in Paris, Texas, trading since 1969 with its own sheet metal shop. Jamar Contractors is the Trane dealer, Economy A/C & Heating covers the small towns around the county, and Todd Comfort Solutions holds a Class A licence with no equipment size cap.

Paris Air Conditioning Co.

Pine Mill Road · $$

Known for The longest continuous record in town, plus a sheet metal shop that builds duct on site

Trading since 1969 and still family and locally owned. It carries American Standard's Customer Care Dealer designation in American Standard's own dealer directory, which is the manufacturer's own vetting rather than a badge a company buys, and it is listed in the Lamar County Chamber directory under heating and air conditioning contractors.

The thing that separates it from every other shop here is the metal fabrication side. It builds its own ductwork and sheet metal rather than ordering stock fittings, which matters in a town full of houses built before anyone standardised a plenum. It also carries a vendor profile with TIPS, the interlocal purchasing cooperative Texas school districts and cities buy through, so its commercial paperwork has been through a procurement review most residential shops never see.

Go-to order or tip: If your house has an awkward duct run or a return that has never worked right, say so when you call. The in-house metal shop is the reason to pick this one over a bolt-on replacement.

Jamar Contractors, Inc.

South Church Street · $$

Known for The authorised Trane dealer in Paris, with sheet metal experience behind the counter

Run by Bart Jamar, who has spent his career in HVAC and sheet metal work. The BBB file dates the business to 1990, while the company's own site describes over 27 years trading under the Jamar Contractors name, so treat the exact founding year as a range rather than a fact. Either way it is one of the two oldest operations on this list.

It is an authorised Trane dealer and a Lamar County Chamber member, carries the major brands, and offers free estimates on new systems plus after-hours service. It is not BBB accredited, which is worth knowing but is normal for a shop of this age in a town this size.

Go-to order or tip: Get the free estimate on a new system here even if you plan to buy elsewhere. It is a useful second number to hold against a replacement quote.

Economy A/C & Heating

Lamar Road · $

Known for Covering the small towns around Paris, not just the city limits

Family owned and run by Mike and Dana Waggoner, trading since 1993, with a BBB file opened in June 2003. It is the one company here that publishes the actual list of towns it drives to, naming Paris, Reno, Powderly, Blossom, Honey Grove, Cooper and Roxton on its own site rather than claiming a vague region.

The service list runs from furnace and heat pump repair through full installs, and it is one of the few in the county that also lists duct cleaning as its own job rather than an upsell tacked onto a service call.

Go-to order or tip: Directories split between 5560 and 5660 Lamar Rd, and a second number in a 972 area code circulates alongside the local line. Use the 903 number and confirm the suite when you book.

Todd Comfort Solutions, LLC

South Church Street · $$

Known for A Class A contractor licence, which carries no cap on system size

Owner Jeremy Todd holds licence TACLA00028577C. The A matters. A Class B licence in Texas stops at 1.5 million BTU per hour of heating and 25 tons of cooling, which covers any house and most small storefronts, while a Class A carries no size limit at all. Only two companies on this list hold one.

It is a Lamar County Chamber member with its own site and its licence status verifiable through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Sources give the entity as both an LLC and an Inc with different founding years attached, so no founding date is published here.

Go-to order or tip: Worth the call if you run a shop, a restaurant or a church rather than a house, since the size ceiling that limits most local shops does not apply.

Commercial Air

Ballard Drive · $$

Known for Residential work despite the name, and the only Paris shop listing Sunday hours

Owned by Travis Robertson. The name says commercial and the business is in fact a residential HVAC specialist for Lamar County, doing installs, air conditioner and furnace repair, air purification and maintenance. It has a BBB file, is not accredited, and carries one of the deeper public review records in the market.

Its listings show an unusual weekly pattern, weekdays into early evening, closed Saturday, then open Sunday afternoon. If that holds, it is the only Sunday option in town that is not an after-hours callout rate.

Go-to order or tip: Two domains circulate for this company and the years-in-business figure varies from ten to twenty-five depending on the directory, so confirm the Sunday hours by phone before you drive out.

D&P Contractors Co.

Clement Road · $$$

Known for Commercial refrigeration and restaurant equipment on a Class A licence

Established in 1977 under Daniel Jonathan Blount, holding Class A licence TACLA00111943C. This is the commercial house in Paris. It services and supplies refrigeration and restaurant equipment alongside HVAC across northeast Texas, which is a genuinely different trade from swapping a home condenser.

Listed sixth rather than higher purely because most readers of this page own a house, not a walk-in cooler. If you own the cooler, this is the first call, not the sixth.

Go-to order or tip: The one to phone when a restaurant line or a cold room goes down, since almost nobody else in the county carries restaurant equipment parts.

Known for HVAC and electrical work invoiced by the same company

Owner Robert Reed, with a BBB file opened in November 2014. Its own site files the company under electricians as well as heating and cooling, and it sells air conditioning repair, heating repair and full installs.

That combination is the reason to call. When a condenser problem turns out to be a breaker, a disconnect or a wiring fault, one company covers both halves instead of handing you a second phone number and a second trip charge.

Go-to order or tip: A directory profile credits the company with more than fifty years of experience. Nothing independent confirms that figure, so ask directly rather than treating it as settled.

24/7 Refrigeration Heat & Air, LLC

Gordon Country Club Road · $$

Known for Refrigeration work alongside home heating, cooling and indoor air quality

Trading since 2006 by its own account, servicing and installing both commercial and residential equipment. It is one of only three companies in the county that handle refrigeration as well as comfort cooling, which is a smaller pool than most people expect.

Indoor air quality is sold as its own service line here rather than as a filter upgrade at the end of a repair, so it is a reasonable call if the problem is dust, humidity or smell rather than temperature.

Go-to order or tip: The name promises round-the-clock availability, and the published record does not confirm a staffed overnight line. Ask what after-hours actually means before you count on it at 2 a.m.

Website
24-7rha.com

Known for A small owner-operated shop doing refrigeration and air conditioning

A Lamar County Chamber member with a BBB file opened in June 2021 and a Blue Book contractor listing dating to 2018. Business databases describe it as a one-person operation, which is exactly what it looks like from the outside.

That is a real trade-off rather than a criticism. You get the owner on the roof instead of whoever was free, and you get one truck's worth of scheduling. For a small repair on a schedule you control, that is often the better deal.

Go-to order or tip: No address is published here because two circulate, one on 10th St NE and one on Clement Rd. Confirm where to send anything before you post a cheque or a part.

A&M Heat & Air

North Main Street · $

Known for Plain weekday repair and replacement on the north side of town

A north Main Street shop whose address and phone agree across every directory that carries it, with contractor licence records showing both a mechanical contractor and an air conditioning and refrigeration contractor licence. The published schedule is straightforward weekday hours, roughly 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed weekends.

Ranked last because the paper trail is the thinnest here, not because the work is. There is no website of its own, no chamber listing and no BBB file, so everything above it can be checked in more places.

Go-to order or tip: One scraped directory attributes a 2brothersair.com website to this business, which does not check out anywhere else. Treat the Facebook page and the phone number as the real contact points.

How did we pick these?

We started with every company that turns up in an HVAC search for Paris, then threw out everything that could not produce a Lamar County address. That cut is where most of the work happened. Search results for a town this size are dominated by service-area landing pages built by companies an hour or three away, and they look identical to a local shop until you try to find a street.

What survived got checked against the Lamar County Chamber directory, Better Business Bureau files, contractor licence records, and manufacturer dealer directories, which are useful precisely because a company cannot buy its way onto them the way it can buy a "top rated" badge. There are no partners, sponsors or paid placements on this list. Hello Web Designs has HVAC clients in Sulphur Springs and Krum, and neither one is in Paris, so nothing was added or removed on any basis other than the record.

A few real companies did not make the ten. Pfiester Heating & Air at 3455 N Main St publishes its licence number, TACLB00134807R, which is more than several older shops do, but everything else about it traces back to its own site and its own Facebook page. It looks like a newer operation and it may well earn a spot next year. Reno Air answers a Paris phone number and has no street address we could confirm anywhere. We also published no review counts or star averages, because the aggregators disagree by an order of magnitude on the same company, and no prices, because nobody in this market posts one.

What should you know before you call?

The season decides everything about how this goes. Between late June and early September every shop in Lamar County is triaging, and the difference between a company that answers and one that does not has more to do with their queue that morning than their quality. If your system is limping in May, deal with it in May.

Ask for the licence number and check it. It takes a minute on the TDLR site and it separates a licensed contractor from a truck. Ask whether a quoted replacement includes new line set and duct modifications or just the equipment, because that is where two quotes on the same house diverge by thousands.

Company Best for Licence class On the record since
Paris Air Conditioning Co. Whole-house work and custom duct Contractor licensed 1969
Jamar Contractors Trane equipment, replacement quotes Contractor licensed 1990 per BBB
Economy A/C & Heating Houses outside the city limits Contractor licensed 1993
Todd Comfort Solutions Oversized or commercial systems Class A Not published
Commercial Air Weekend residential repair Contractor licensed Not published
D&P Contractors Refrigeration and restaurant equipment Class A 1977

What about the rest of Northeast Texas?

Paris sits far enough from the Metroplex that the DFW companies do not really service it, which is good news. The nearest genuine alternatives are in Sulphur Springs, about an hour south, and those are worth knowing if you own property in both counties. We ranked that market separately in the best HVAC companies in Sulphur Springs, where the field is deeper and the licence records are easier to check.

For everything else in town, the Paris city guide collects what we have published here, and our HVAC guides for other Texas cities cover the same ground elsewhere. If the air conditioner problem turns out to be an attic problem, start with the best roofers in Paris instead, since a failing roof deck and a starved return duct produce very similar summer electric bills.

What should you do next?

Call Paris Air Conditioning Co. first. Fifty-seven years in one town, a manufacturer's own dealer designation and a sheet metal shop on site is a combination nobody else here matches, and for most houses in Paris it is simply the right answer.

If you are replacing rather than repairing, get Jamar's free estimate as your second number, and take a third from Economy or Commercial Air so you have a spread rather than a pair. If you own a restaurant, a church or anything with a walk-in, skip all of that and phone D&P Contractors, because the size ceiling that limits most shops here does not apply to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Any company contracting air conditioning and refrigeration work in Texas must hold a licence issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and you can look up any of them by company name on the TDLR licence search. Class A carries no limit on equipment size. Class B stops at 1.5 million BTU per hour of heating and 25 tons of cooling, which covers every house and most small commercial buildings. Ask for the number, then check it yourself.

Because service-area landing pages rank. Hunter Super Techs is headquartered at Lake Murray Drive in Ardmore, Oklahoma, and is a Turnpoint Services brand. Ken's Heat and Air is a Sulphur Springs company running a Paris page. Moore A/C & Heating is a Rowlett business. All three are real companies and none of them has a Paris address. We left every one of them off.

No company in this market publishes a price, and we do not invent one. The figures floating around in search results come from national estimator sites that average Dallas and Houston pricing into a number that means nothing in Lamar County. Get three written quotes from the list above, make sure each one states the equipment tonnage, the SEER2 rating and what the warranty covers, and compare those rather than the headline number.

Three. D&P Contractors on Clement Road is the deepest, carrying restaurant equipment supply and service alongside refrigeration. 24/7 Refrigeration Heat & Air on Gordon Country Club Road does commercial and residential equipment both. REEP'S Air & Refrigeration is the small independent option. For a walk-in cooler or a restaurant line, start with D&P.

No, though it is a Lamar County Chamber member, which is why it turns up in local directories. The company is based at 1164 E US Highway 67 in Mount Pleasant, about an hour southeast in Titus County, and it also runs plumbing. It is a real and long-established business, it is simply not a Paris one, so it is not ranked here.

Spring for cooling and fall for heating, before the first stretch of weather that makes everyone else call. In Lamar County that means booking the air conditioner check in March or April rather than the first 100 degree week in July, when every company on this list is running a queue and the parts houses in Paris and Sherman are being cleaned out.
