Editorial Review
Our Take on Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air
The combination of a 1969 founding date, a single Oak Cliff address and nearly 2,400 Google reviews at 4.9 tells a consistent story, and that consistency is rarer than the star rating itself. Our main caution is the usual one for dual-trade companies: pin down who is doing your specific job and what the labour warranty covers. If you want plumbing and HVAC handled by the same office, this is a sensible call.
Best for: Dallas-area homeowners wanting one company for plumbing and HVAC, including slab leaks and sewer work
What We Like
- 4.9 from 2,388 Google reviews as read on September 27, 2026, an unusually large sample
- Family-run since 1969 from a single Dallas location, per the company's website
- Plumbing and HVAC handled in-house, from sewer repair to furnace and AC replacement
- Licence number 36081 published openly, with technicians described as background checked and drug tested
- Camera inspection and hydro jetting available for drain and sewer diagnosis
- Financing and a maintenance membership plan offered for larger equipment jobs
Things to Consider
- Based in Dallas with a stated service area of Dallas, Plano and nearby, so coverage further afield needs checking
- Office hours close at 6 PM weekdays and 3 PM Saturday; after-hours response is advertised separately and rates should be confirmed
- No pricing is published, so quotes must be obtained job by job
- Companies covering two trades vary in depth, so ask who will actually be on site

About Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air
Bill and Shirley Cody started the business in 1969, according to the company's own account, with their three sons helping at weekends and through the summers. That history matters less as a sentimental detail than as a practical one: a Dallas contractor that has been working the same neighbourhoods for five decades has seen the full range of what local housing stock does, from cast iron drains in pre-war Oak Cliff bungalows to the post-tension slabs under newer suburban builds.
The work splits into two halves. On plumbing, the published list runs through drain cleaning and hydro jetting, water heater repair and replacement, tankless conversions, sewer repair, slab leak location, garbage disposals, toilet repairs, gas leak work and remodel plumbing, along with whole-home water filtration assessed by a water treatment specialist. On the mechanical side there is furnace and heat pump repair, installation and maintenance, air conditioning service and replacement, mini splits, duct cleaning, insulation, thermostats, air purification and generators. A licence number, 36081, is published on the website, and the company states its technicians are licensed, insured, background checked and drug tested.
Slab leaks deserve a mention because they are close to a Dallas speciality. Expansive clay soil across much of the area swells and shrinks with the seasons, slabs move, and copper under concrete eventually gives way. The tell is usually a warm patch of floor, a water bill that jumped for no reason, or the sound of running water with every fixture off. Ask any contractor how they intend to locate the leak before breaking concrete, and whether the fix will be a spot repair, a reroute through the attic, or a partial repipe. Reroutes often cost more up front and save trouble later. The same soil movement is what cracks older clay and cast iron sewer lines, so a camera inspection before any dig is worth insisting on, and cody sons plumbing heating air lists camera diagnosis as part of how it approaches drains and sewers.
Cooling is the other pressure point. North Texas summers punish undersized and badly ducted systems, and a string of hundred-degree days turns every marginal condenser into an emergency. A company that does both plumbing and HVAC has an advantage in condensate drain problems, gas line work for furnaces and water heaters, and coordinating a water heater swap with an attic air handler replacement. The trade-off is that dual-trade outfits vary in how deep their bench is on each side, so it is fair to ask who specifically will be doing your job and how long they have been on that trade.
On fit, this suits homeowners who want one number for both systems and who value uniformed technicians, marked trucks and upfront quoting over hunting the lowest hourly rate. The website mentions financing, monthly payments and an MVP membership plan, which points to a company set up for equipment replacement as much as small repairs. Anyone after a bare-bones handyman price on a single washer, or a landlord managing many low-cost turnarounds, may find a smaller independent cheaper. Note also the geography: the office sits in Dallas and the stated service area is Dallas, Plano and nearby, so readers outside that footprint should confirm coverage before booking.
The review record is the strongest single piece of evidence here. A 4.9 average across 2,388 Google reviews, read on September 27, 2026, is a volume most residential contractors never reach, and it is worth reading the recent ones for what they say about pricing conversations rather than just outcomes. Before you commit, get the quote in writing with parts and labour separated, ask whether diagnostic fees apply to the repair, confirm who pulls the permit on water heater and sewer replacements, and ask what the labour warranty is against the manufacturer's parts warranty. For replacement equipment, check whether any warranty transfers if you sell the house.
Published hours are Monday to Friday 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday to 3 PM, closed Sunday, while the site advertises 24/7 answering and around-the-clock HVAC help. Confirm after-hours call-out charges when you phone, because evening and weekend rates are where plumbing bills tend to surprise people. For a first conversation, cody sons plumbing heating air can be reached on (469) 200-3366.

Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air FAQs
Where is Cody & Sons actually based, and do they cover my area?
The office is at 209 W Clarendon Dr in Dallas, 75208, in the Oak Cliff area. Its website states it serves Dallas, Plano and nearby communities. If you are outside the Dallas and Collin County suburbs, call (469) 200-3366 and confirm coverage before arranging a visit, since the published service area does not extend across the whole of Texas.
What is their Google rating?
Its Google Business Profile shows 4.9 from 2,388 reviews, read on September 27, 2026. That is a large volume for a single-location residential contractor, which makes the average more meaningful than a high score built on a few dozen reviews.
Do they handle emergency calls at night?
The website advertises 24/7 answering and round-the-clock HVAC service, while published office hours run 8 AM to 6 PM Monday to Friday and 8 AM to 3 PM Saturday, closed Sunday. Ask directly what an after-hours call-out costs, because evening, weekend and holiday rates usually differ from standard service pricing.
Can they find and fix a slab leak?
Yes, slab leak work is listed among its plumbing services. In Dallas, clay soil movement is a common cause of failed under-slab lines, and the usual options are a spot repair through the concrete or a reroute overhead. Ask which approach is being quoted and why, as the cheaper immediate fix is not always the cheaper long-term one.
Do they do heating and air conditioning as well as plumbing?
Yes, and its Google category is listed as HVAC contractor. The mechanical side covers air conditioning repair, installation and maintenance, furnace replacement, heat pumps, mini splits, duct cleaning, air purification, insulation, thermostats and generators, alongside the full plumbing list.
Is the company licensed?
It publishes licence number 36081 on its website and states that its service technicians are licensed and insured as well as background checked and drug tested. As with any contractor, you can verify a plumbing licence through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners before work begins.
What should I ask before booking?
Get the quote in writing with parts and labour itemised, and ask whether a diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair. For water heaters, sewer lines and system replacements, confirm who pulls the permit, what the labour warranty period is, how it differs from the manufacturer's parts warranty, and whether any coverage transfers if you sell the house.
Is Cody & Sons Plumbing, Heating & Air licensed and insured?
