Paradise, TX

Welcome to Paradise, Texas! The settlement that is now known as Paradise began in the early 1970s when it was initially called Eldorado. However, postal authorities advised that "Eldorado" was already in use, leading to the name being shortened to Paradise Prairie, inspired by the area’s beautiful wildflower meadows. Later shortened to Paradise. 

In 1876, Paradise established a post office branch, and by 1893, the Rock Island Railroad reached the area. By 1900, the town boasted two cotton gins, two lumberyards, two hotels, a grade school, and a weekly newspaper called the Paradise Echo.

As of 1990, the population of Paradise was around 400. The Paradise Independent School District provided education from kindergarten through 12th grade in one building. Since then, the population of Paradise proper has grown to 700 residents. The town has since constructed an elementary school, an intermediate school, a middle school, and a high school, with plans for a new high school on the horizon. The population outside city limits has also surged.

Small Town With Pride

Texas small towns take pride in their schools. The mascot for Paradise schools is the Paradise Panther, depicted as a black panther, representing both male and female sports teams, as well as the Paradise Youth Recreational Athletics (PYRA). This program offers a range of sports activities for children starting from the age of three.

In addition to its small size, Paradise is home to four churches: Grace Fellowship, First Baptist Church, Paradise Church of Christ, and Paradise United Methodist Church. It features a single traffic light and one stop sign along its main street. 

Paradise encompasses the bedroom communities of Boonesville and Cottondale. Locals often note that the difference between the two is just four miles. Many residents have moved from the DFW Metroplex area to enjoy the more relaxed, country lifestyle offered here.

Cottondale is also the final resting place of George Kelly Barnes, better known as "Machine Gun Kelly." Barnes was a notorious bootlegger during the Prohibition era and gained infamy for the kidnapping of oil tycoon Charles F. Urschel, for which he demanded a ransom of $200,000, equivalent to approximately $4.89 million in 2025.

Historic Roots and HVAC Realities

Though Paradise is small, its roots run deep. Generations of families have called this place home, and many homes reflect the charm and structure of years past. While character is a strength, aging ductwork, poor insulation, or older HVAC systems can lead to comfort problems and higher energy bills.

Our technicians are trained to evaluate each home carefully. Whether it’s upgrading outdated equipment, reworking ventilation pathways, or replacing an underperforming thermostat, we bring modern solutions that respect the integrity of your home while enhancing efficiency and air quality.

Tackling Texas Weather the Right Way

Paradise summers bring high temperatures, relentless sun, and sticky humidity. Winters are short but unpredictable, with sharp cold fronts that can strain your heating system if it’s not properly maintained.

That’s why we offer seasonal tune-ups, energy-saving upgrades, and full system replacements designed specifically for Texas weather. As a Daikin Preferred Dealer, we install high-efficiency heating and cooling systems known for their performance, durability, and smart technology.
