1st. Gen Heating and Air is a family-owned HVAC company based in Waxahachie, Texas, providing air conditioning repair, AC installation, furnace repair, furnace installation, and heat pump services to homeowners throughout Ellis County and the surrounding area.
When your AC stops cooling or your furnace won’t fire up, you need a local team that knows Waxahachie homes and can get to you without a two-hour drive. We live and work in this community. We understand the housing stock, the climate, and what it takes to keep a home comfortable year-round in Ellis County.
From the older Victorian homes near downtown to the newer subdivisions growing up along the edges of the city, Waxahachie has a wide range of HVAC systems. Some are decades old. Some were installed last year. We work on all of them, and we tell you what something costs before we start.
Whether you need same-day AC repair in the middle of July or a furnace check before the first cold snap rolls in, give us a call. We’ll give you a straight answer and a clear price.
1st. Gen Heating and Air is family-owned and operated, which means the people who show up at your door have a personal stake in doing the job right. We are fully licensed and insured, so you are protected on every visit.
One thing homeowners consistently appreciate: we give you upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises on the invoice. No pressure to approve work you did not ask about. Just clear information so you can make the right call for your home and your budget.
Waxahachie is our home base and one of our primary service areas. We know this community, and we treat it that way.
Waxahachie sits in the heart of Ellis County, and the climate here does not go easy on HVAC equipment. Summers are long, hot, and humid in a way that pushes air conditioners hard from May through September. Then winter arrives fast, and while freezes are not every year, they happen often enough that a furnace that has been sitting idle needs to be ready when temperatures drop overnight.
The housing in Waxahachie adds another layer of complexity. The historic Victorian homes near downtown and around the courthouse square were built long before modern ductwork and high-efficiency equipment existed. Fitting a new system into one of those homes takes care and experience. Out in areas like Garden Valley Ranch or Buffalo Ridge, you have larger footprints on slab foundations where proper sizing and airflow balance matter a great deal. The newer subdivisions expanding across the north and west sides of the city often have heat pumps and two-stage systems that require different diagnostic thinking than an older gas furnace.
Neighborhoods like North Grove and Chapman Place sit in established parts of Waxahachie where systems are aging and homeowners are starting to weigh repair costs against replacement. That is a real conversation, and we have it plainly.
A technician who drives in from across the Metroplex does not know any of this. We do, because we are here. That local knowledge shows up in faster diagnosis, better recommendations, and work that actually fits your home.
We cover the full range of residential heating and cooling services. Here is what that looks like in practice.
Every service starts with an honest look at what your system actually needs. We price it out before we start, so you are never guessing.
We try to make this as straightforward as possible. Here is what happens from first contact to finished job.
You call or reach out. Tell us what is going on with your system. We will ask a few questions to understand the situation and get you scheduled. We work with your availability and aim to get to you as quickly as possible, especially in the peak of summer or during a cold stretch.
We come out and diagnose. A technician arrives, looks at your system, and identifies the problem. We do not guess. We check the equipment, run through the relevant components, and find out what is actually causing the issue.
You get a price before anything is done. This is not negotiable for us. We tell you what the repair or installation will cost before we pick up a tool. You decide whether to move forward. No pressure, no surprise charges at the end.
We do the work. Once you approve, we complete the job. If something unexpected comes up during the repair, we tell you before we proceed.
We make sure it is working. Before we leave, we confirm the system is running the way it should. We will answer any questions you have about what we did or what to watch for going forward.
