Systems we service

We repair and tune the heating equipment most common in DFW Area homes:

• Gas furnaces — typical in older and many newer homes for dependable warm air.
• Heat pumps — popular because of mild winters and efficient year‑round operation.
• Electric furnaces / electric heat kits — used with air handlers and in all-electric homes.
• Ductwork, thermostats, and zone control systems that affect how heat is delivered.

Common heating failure symptoms in DFW Area homes

Recognizing symptoms early shortens repair time and reduces risk:

• No heat or intermittent heating — could be thermostat issues, ignition failures, or control board faults.
• Ignition problems — failed hot surface ignitors, pilot outages, or faulty gas valves.
• Short cycling — frequent on/off cycles from airflow restrictions, dirty filters, or oversized equipment.
• Unusual noises — squealing, grinding, or rattling points to blower motor, bearing, or belt failures.
• Weak airflow or cold spots — duct leaks, blocked returns, or failing blower motors.
• Heat pump defrost or freezing issues — low refrigerant or defrost control faults during cold snaps.
• Carbon monoxide or gas odor concerns — cracked heat exchangers or leak indicators require immediate safety checks.

How we diagnose heating problems

A thorough, safety‑first diagnostic separates quick fixes from conditions that need parts or replacement:

• Visual and safety inspection for gas leaks, odors, and obvious damage.
• Thermostat calibration and system control checks to confirm correct signals.
• Electrical testing of capacitors, motors, relays, and control boards.
• Combustion analysis and heat exchanger inspection on gas furnaces to verify safe combustion and detect cracks.
• Refrigerant and defrost cycle testing for heat pumps; checking pressures and reversing valve operation.
• Airflow measurement and duct inspection to identify restrictions or leaks.
• Diagnostics are explained in plain language and documented so you understand the cause, recommended solution, and expected outcome.

Repairs, parts replacement, and post‑repair testing

Common repairs and parts we replace include:

• Ignitors, flame sensors, and gas valves for gas furnaces.
• Blower motors, belts, capacitors, and bearings for airflow problems.
• Contactors, capacitors, reversing valves, and compressors on heat pumps.
• Thermostats, control boards, and safety switches.
• We prioritize OEM or manufacturer‑approved parts for longevity and compatibility. After any repair we run full system tests temperature rise, airflow, safety cutouts, and operational cycles to verify safe, efficient operation before leaving your home.
