Orlando's Highest-Rated AC Company — Family-Owned Since 1996
Smart Home Air & Heat is the Orlando AC company built by Chris Elsis Jr. on 30 years of hands-on HVAC work and one stubborn idea: show customers the problem on video before asking them to pay for it. The result — 5.0 stars across 91 Google reviews, a NATE-certified team, and features on Fox 35 Orlando and ACHR News.

Meet Chris Elsis Jr.
Chris started turning wrenches on air conditioners three decades ago — long before he owned a company, a truck fleet, or a single review. Thirty years of Florida attics, crawl spaces, and 2 a.m. emergency calls taught him exactly how this industry treats homeowners when nobody's watching: inflated quotes, invented repairs, and "free" tune-ups that end in $1,500 of urgent nothing.
Smart Home Air & Heat is his answer to all of it. Chris built the company around the calls he'd want made to his own house — upfront pricing published online, a flat $89 service call around the clock, and technicians who prove every diagnosis instead of asserting it.
Off the clock, Chris is a single dad raising two boys and an active member of the First Baptist Church Orlando community. The company reflects that: it's a neighborhood business run by a neighbor, not a private-equity brand with an Orlando phone number.
The Video-Documented Diagnostics Philosophy
Every service call we run follows the same rule: the customer sees the problem before approving the repair. Our technicians film the failed capacitor, the clogged drain line, the meter reading — whatever the diagnosis is, there's footage of it. No pointing at a closed panel. No "trust me."
It changes the entire transaction. Quotes stay honest because they have to survive being shown next to evidence. Second opinions become easy — take our video to anyone. And when we tell you a repair isn't needed, you can believe that too.
- $89 flat service call, 24/7 — applied toward your repair, no after-hours fees ever
- 90-minute arrival or $200 off — across Orlando and 20 surrounding communities
- Published pricing — our repair price table is public, which most companies won't do
- NATE-certified technicians — the industry's leading certification, on every truck
Featured on Fox 35 Orlando and in ACHR News
The video-documented approach caught attention beyond our customer base. Smart Home Air & Heat has been featured on Fox 35 Orlando and covered in ACHR News, the HVAC industry's leading trade publication — recognition for doing consumer protection from inside the trade instead of waiting for regulators to do it from outside.
The recognition we actually run the company for, though, is the review page: 5.0 stars across 91 Google reviews, earned one service call at a time. Read them yourself: customer reviews.
An Orlando Company That Acts Like One
We live where we work. Our shop sits on Curry Ford Road in East Orlando, our techs' kids go to school in the neighborhoods we serve, and the company gives back locally — from community giving initiatives in the areas we serve to Chris's involvement at First Baptist Church Orlando.
That's also why the guarantees are real. When your company's reputation lives and dies in a 20-mile radius, you don't get to hide behind a call center. If we say 90 minutes, we mean 90 minutes — or you get $200 off.
