Inspect first
We look at the system before pricing anything.
HVAC service handled start to finish.
Install, repair, and tune-up support across Dallas-Fort Worth. We diagnose first, explain your options, do the work cleanly, and test the system before we leave.
Install-first service Sized, installed, and tested
The work your home actually needs.
We keep the scope clear and practical: inspect first, explain what matters, then price the work in writing.
System Install
Full residential HVAC replacement from teardown to startup. We size the system for your home and DFW climate, not just what fits on the truck.
specialtyRepair
Same-day diagnostic and repair on any make or model. We carry common parts on every truck so most calls close in one visit.
commonMaintenance
Annual tune-ups that keep your system running at rated efficiency. Filter swap, coil clean, refrigerant check, and a written health report.
commonRefrigerant Service
Leak detection and recharge for R-22, R-410A, and R-32 systems. We find the source first so the recharge actually holds.
specialtyDuctwork and Cleaning
Inspection, cleaning, sealing, and replacement for supply and return runs. Leaky ducts are one of the biggest efficiency killers in DFW homes.
commonEmergency Response
Same-day response for no-heat and no-cool calls. DFW summers do not wait and neither do we.
emergencyFrom first look to final walkthrough.
HVAC service should feel calm. You get the assessment, the sizing logic, the written quote, the workday plan, and the final test.
01
Home assessment
A Lantern technician reviews the existing system, airflow, duct condition, thermostat setup, and problem rooms before recommending equipment.
02
Sizing and options
We match the replacement system to the home instead of copying the old tonnage. You see practical equipment options and the tradeoffs clearly.
03
Written install quote
You get a written scope with equipment, labor, removal, thermostat work, startup testing, and any duct or electrical items called out before approval.
04
Install day
The crew protects the work area, removes old equipment, sets the new system, connects the line set and controls, and keeps the site orderly.
05
Startup and testing
Before we leave, we test temperature split, airflow, drain line, refrigerant performance, thermostat behavior, and visible electrical connections.
06
Walkthrough and care
You get a walkthrough of the new system, filter guidance, warranty next steps, and the option to keep the system watched through Guardians beta access.
Guardians beta included
Qualifying HVAC installs include Guardians beta access.
Lantern Guardians puts Emporia energy sensors on your new system and monitors it around the clock. For qualifying HVAC installs during the beta, panel-level sensor setup, 24/7 monitoring, and priority service access are included with the install path.
01 Panel-level sensor install
02 24/7 home health monitoring
03 Priority service during beta
A cleaner way to get trade work done.

Questions before you book.
Clear answers before anyone shows up at your house.
At least once a year, with many DFW homes benefiting from a spring cooling check and a fall heating check. DFW systems run harder than most parts of the country, so skipping tune-ups means more wear on the compressor and coils.
For most DFW homes, a 16 to 18 SEER2 system hits the right balance of upfront cost and long-term savings. If your utility rates are high or you run the AC more than eight months a year, moving to 20 SEER2 pays back faster. We run the math for your specific home on every install quote.
Both. Ducted central systems for whole-home cooling, and ductless mini-splits for room additions, garage conversions, or zones that the main system does not reach well. We size and install either.
We prioritize same-day for no-cool calls during peak season. Response time depends on call volume, but we are transparent about the queue when you call. Guardians homes move to the front of that line.
No. Emporia sensors mount externally and do not touch refrigerant lines or internal wiring. They read power draw and runtime data without modifying the unit. Your manufacturer warranty stays intact.
Yes, on full system replacements. We can walk you through available options when we put together your install quote. No pressure to decide on the spot.
