Speedy Electric & A/C is a Family Owned & Operated Company Servicing the Dallas & Surrounding Areas Since 1999. We are committed to providing quality HVAC & Electrical Services at affordable pricing for every customer. We employee only licensed technicians & electricians that specialize in residential & light commercial service & repairs. We also have crews that specialize in fire & water restoration and HVAC and electrical wiring for remodels & additions. We have 5 dispatchers on staff to quickly assist you & schedule your service request. Our phones are also answered 24/7 by a company dispatcher that can assist you with scheduling. We service all Brands of HVAC equipment & we are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer.
"We had an emergency and we agreed for them to perform work while we were away. Speedy Electric and A/C stated they performed work but we suspect they never did and they have refused to provide us a copy of the receipt, proof of the work performed, and information on warranty for their work. Additionally, they charged us $800, which I now know was roughly 40% higher than the five other electricity and HVAC companies I've now spoken with in Ellis County. Shame on me for trusting Speedy Electric and A/C without calling for other quotes. When we've called multiple times to obtain a copy of the receipt showing proof of their work, we get put on hold for 5-10 minutes only for someone to come back and tell us that they're too busy to find the receipt and to stop calling."

With 28 years of electrical experience, we've seen everything and are happy to help you with troubleshooting any electrical issues or installing any light fixtures you desire. We won't leave until the job is finished and done safely and correctly. Your service is our first priority.
"Johnnie and Kyle were lifesavers, literally! Our heater kept tripping the breaker and when my husband flipped the switch back on, sparks flew. Our home is new to us, but was built in the 70s, we were unaware of how bad the electrical wiring was, the Inspector, for some reason, didn't catch it when we bought the house. There was an older breaker box inside my husband's closet also, the wiring inside was a jumbled mess and had several burned areas. We were extremely lucky our house hadn't already burned down. Johnnie and Kyle worked way late into the night having to basically rewire everything. They took extra care in making sure our house was safe for us. We also had concerns over the cost, this was not the best time financially for us, but we were pleasantly surprised with what they charged us. Both men were extremely polite, friendly and considerate of our needs. We will be calling Jade Electrical for all of our electrical needs from now on and referring them to everyone we know."

The main drawbacks of lightning protection systems are upkeep and appearance. The system needs routine cleaning and professional inspections; skip them, and the rods might fail when you need them most. Over time, those visits add a little extra cost and effort. Some homeowners also dislike the look of metal rods or cables along the roofline. If aesthetics worry you, ask your installer about lower-profile hardware or ways to blend the components into your roof.
No, the copper in lightning rods does not attract lightning. Instead, lightning targets the highest nearby point, not the metal itself. Copper is simply a superior conductor, which is why pros use it. When a bolt hits the rod, the copper safely channels the charge through the grounding cable and into the earth, sparing your home. Choosing copper doesn’t draw more strikes—it just handles them better.
Rod count depends on your home’s size and the system you choose. A 3,000-square-foot house needs six to eight copper or aluminum rods for full coverage, while a single ESE air terminal often protects the same area on its own. A UL-certified pro can measure your roof, spot potential strike points, and recommend the right number for complete peace of mind.
Always hire an Underwriters Laboratories-certified installer. A UL-certified pro follows the Lightning Protection Institute’s strict rules, mounts each rod securely, and uses only UL-listed parts. Professional installation protects you from falls, wiring mistakes, and code violations, and it ensures the system works exactly as designed when the next storm rolls through.
