The Best HVAC Companies in Tyler, Texas

The Maddox family started this business in Tyler in 1937 as Maddox Air Conditioning and it is now in its third generation, which means it has installed and serviced essentially every system type that has existed in East Texas. It is a listed member of the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce at the same South Bonner address and phone number it publishes itself, which is a small thing that a surprising number of search results cannot clear.

What separates it is holding two state licences rather than one. TACLA21137C covers the HVAC work and TECL18026 covers the electrical, both regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, so a job that turns out to be a breaker or a wiring fault does not become a second contractor and a second trip charge. It also does commercial building automation, which almost nothing else this size in Tyler does.

Oliver Martin formed Tyler Weathermakers in 1966 and his son Larry Martin took over as president and owner in September 1976, which is 60 years of one family in one city. It has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau since 1985, holds Texas Class A licence TACLA1541C, and runs NATE certified technicians.

Two things make it the pick for a system replacement rather than a repair. It is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, which carries real warranty and training obligations rather than being a badge on a van. And it designs and installs geothermal systems, which almost nobody in East Texas does, so if you have acreage and are weighing a ground loop this is the first call rather than the fourth.

ETR has been running in Tyler since the late 1970s and has grown into one of the largest HVAC operations in the area. Its own site says 1977 and the chamber listing says 1978, so take the decade rather than the year. It appears in both the air conditioning and the heating contractor categories of the Tyler Area Chamber directory at the same Old Troup Highway address.

The reason to call ETR specifically is the commercial side. It sells and services refrigeration and ice machines as well as comfort cooling, so a restaurant, a clinic or a church with a walk in cooler and a rooftop unit can use one contractor for both. For a straightforward house it is a solid choice rather than a special one, and the 24 hour on call line is genuinely answered.

Coy Dodd has been serving Tyler homeowners and small businesses for more than 42 years, holds an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and has been accredited there since 1999, and is a listed member of both the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce and the Tyler Area Builders Association. For a shop this small, three independent listings is good coverage.

The useful thing it advertises is free estimates and free second opinions when another company has already told you what is wrong. In a trade where the gap between a $400 repair and a $9,000 replacement often comes down to one technician's judgement, a company willing to look at somebody else's diagnosis for nothing is worth knowing about before you need it.

Larry and Karen Lacaze run this as a woman owned business with more than 40 years of family service behind it, out of a shop on FM 14 north of town. It holds Texas licence TACLB 39819E, is accredited by the Better Business Bureau with an A plus rating, and is an American Standard Customer Care Dealer.

The range is wider than the size suggests. Alongside the usual repairs and changeouts it does ductless mini splits, package units, blown in insulation, its own sheet metal fabrication, and mobile home systems, which is a real gap in the market because plenty of companies quietly decline manufactured housing. It also publishes discounts for veterans, first responders, healthcare workers and teachers.

Worth being plain about the geography. A/C Contractors was founded in 1982 and its main operation is at 3830 Gilmer Road in Longview, with a second shop at this County Road 2347 address in Tyler. It is a genuine two city company rather than a Longview business running an auto generated Tyler page, which is a distinction worth checking before you hire anyone off a search result.

The appeal is breadth. It covers air conditioning, heating, plumbing, water heaters, drain cleaning, indoor air quality, standby generators and chimney inspections across Gregg, Smith, Harrison and Rusk counties, with background checked technicians and up front pricing. For a house that needs two trades in the same week, that is one phone number instead of three.

Napps is listed here with its real address rather than a Tyler one, because it is a Longview company that serves Tyler rather than a Tyler company. Roy L. Napps founded it in 1957 and his son has run it since 1975. It holds combined HVAC and plumbing licence TACLA 72668C, runs NATE certified technicians, and is a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer.

What you are buying with the drive time is capacity. The operation runs a 23,000 square foot facility with its own engineering and sheet metal fabrication, and it publishes Smith County and Tyler in its service area alongside Gregg, Harrison, Upshur, Rusk and Wood. For an awkward commercial job or custom ductwork that is a real advantage. For a Saturday capacitor failure in Tyler, call somebody closer.

A family owned company working in Tyler since 2005, holding Texas licence TACLB24472E and serving Smith County and the surrounding communities including Chandler, Noonday, Flint, Whitehouse, New Chapel Hill and Swan. It is an authorised dealer for Heil and Carrier equipment.

The detail that matters is that it fabricates its own sheet metal and ductwork. A lot of poor cooling in older Tyler houses is a duct problem rather than an equipment problem, and a company that can build a transition or a return on its own bench will fix that properly instead of quoting you a bigger condenser.

A compact, locally owned and operated shop on G E Drive, accredited by the Better Business Bureau and listed at this Tyler address in independent business directories. It does diagnostics, repair, maintenance, thermostats, air quality systems and new installations for homes across Tyler and East Texas, with a 24 hour emergency line behind weekday office hours.

We are not publishing a founding year for it, because the company's own site does not give one and the third party figures do not agree. What we can confirm is a fixed Tyler address, a working phone number, a BBB record and consistent listings, which is more than many of the results on the first page of a search for Tyler HVAC can show.
