Book Service TodayAfter 26 years of heating repair service in College Station, we've seen every type of heating problem imaginable. Here are the most common issues we repair and what typically causes them.
This is one of the most frequent heating calls we receive, especially during the first cold snap of the season. Common causes include thermostat malfunctions, electrical connection problems, ignition system failures, or gas supply issues. Our technicians systematically check each potential cause, starting with the simplest solutions before investigating more complex problems.
Heat pumps can blow cold air for several different reasons, and determining the exact cause requires systematic diagnosis. The problem might be as simple as thermostat settings or as complex as refrigerant leaks or failed reversing valves. We check outdoor unit operation, refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and control system programming to identify the specific issue.
Unusual noises often indicate mechanical problems that can lead to expensive repairs if ignored. Squealing sounds typically indicate belt or bearing problems, while rattling might suggest loose components or ductwork issues. Grinding noises often point to motor problems, and clicking sounds may indicate electrical or control system issues.
Short cycling wastes energy and creates uneven heating throughout your home. This problem can result from oversized equipment, thermostat location issues, airflow restrictions, or mechanical problems within the heating system itself. We evaluate the entire system to determine why normal operating cycles are being interrupted.
When some rooms stay cold while others get too warm, the problem usually involves airflow distribution or system balancing issues. However, it can also indicate ductwork problems, zoning system malfunctions, or heating equipment that's not properly sized for your home's requirements.
We take pride in solving heating problems correctly the first time. Our technicians carry extensive parts inventory on their service vehicles, enabling us to complete most repairs during the initial service call without delays for parts ordering.
When your heating system fails during cold weather, you need repair service that responds quickly and fixes problems correctly the first time. Our 26 years of experience have taught us exactly what it takes to deliver reliable emergency heating repairs that restore your comfort immediately.
Modern heating systems require sophisticated diagnostic equipment to identify problems accurately and efficiently. We invest continuously in the latest diagnostic technology to ensure we can service even the newest heating equipment effectively.
Electrical problems are common causes of heating system failures, and proper diagnosis requires precise electrical testing. Our digital multimeters and specialized electrical testing equipment enable us to verify voltage, amperage, and resistance readings throughout your heating system's electrical components.
For gas heating systems, proper combustion is essential for both efficiency and safety. Our combustion analysis equipment measures gas pressure, airflow, and exhaust gas composition to verify optimal operation and identify potential safety concerns.
Heat pump repairs often involve refrigerant system work that requires specialized equipment for proper handling and environmental compliance. Our refrigerant recovery and testing equipment enables us to diagnose refrigerant leaks, test system pressures, and perform repairs according to EPA regulations.
Proper airflow is critical for heating system performance and efficiency. Our airflow measurement tools help us identify ductwork restrictions, fan problems, or system design issues that affect heating distribution throughout your home.
These measurements help us optimize system performance and identify problems that might not be obvious during basic operational testing. Airflow testing often reveals solutions that improve comfort while reducing energy consumption.

Heating repair costs vary significantly depending on the specific problem, required parts, and complexity of the repair work. We believe in providing transparent pricing information that helps you understand what drives repair costs and how to make informed decisions about your heating system.
The age and complexity of your heating system significantly impacts repair costs. Newer systems often have more expensive electronic components but may be covered by manufacturer warranties. Older systems might need parts that are becoming scarce or require additional labor due to outdated design features.
Generally, if your heating system is less than 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of replacement, repair is usually the most economical choice. However, we also consider the system's overall condition, efficiency level, and likelihood of future problems when making recommendations.
While some heating maintenance tasks can be handled by homeowners, most heating repairs require professional expertise for safety and effectiveness. Gas heating systems involve potential safety hazards that require proper training and equipment to handle safely.
After completing heating repairs, we often recommend service plans that include regular maintenance and priority repair service. These plans help prevent future problems and provide cost predictability for heating system care.
Extended warranty options are sometimes available for major component replacements, providing additional protection beyond standard repair warranties. We explain all available options and help you determine which protection plans offer the best value for your situation.
While some heating repairs are unavoidable due to component wear or unexpected failures, many common problems can be prevented through proper maintenance and homeowner awareness. Here's what we recommend based on 26 years of heating repair experience.
The single most important thing you can do to prevent heating repairs is changing your air filter regularly. Dirty filters restrict airflow, causing systems to work harder and leading to premature component failure. We recommend checking filters monthly and replacing them when they appear dirty or every three months maximum.
Professional heating maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive repairs. During maintenance visits, we clean components, test safety systems, check electrical connections, and identify wear patterns that indicate potential future problems.
Many heating problems result from incorrect thermostat operation or programming. We recommend learning your thermostat's features and using appropriate programming for your schedule. Avoid frequent temperature adjustments that cause unnecessary system cycling.
Learning to recognize early signs of heating problems enables you to schedule repairs before systems fail completely. Unusual noises, uneven heating, increased energy bills, or frequent cycling often indicate developing problems that can be addressed before they cause complete system failure.
Don't ignore warning signs hoping they'll resolve themselves. Early intervention usually results in less expensive repairs and prevents the inconvenience of complete system breakdowns during cold weather.
When your heating system stops working during cold weather, follow this protocol to ensure your family's safety and comfort while waiting for professional repair service.
First, ensure everyone in your home is safe and warm. If you suspect gas leaks, evacuate immediately and contact your gas utility company before calling for heating repair. Never ignore gas odors or attempt to repair gas heating equipment yourself.
While waiting for repair service, close off unused rooms to concentrate heat in occupied areas. Use appropriate alternative heating sources like fireplaces or electric space heaters, but never use outdoor equipment or ovens for indoor heating due to carbon monoxide dangers.
When you call for emergency heating service, be prepared to describe your system's symptoms and any recent changes you've noticed. This information helps our technicians prepare appropriate tools and parts before arriving at your home.
Clear access to your heating equipment and electrical panels so our technicians can work efficiently. Secure pets and ensure someone will be available to provide access and answer questions about your system's recent operation.
If possible, locate your heating system's model and serial number information to help our technicians identify the correct replacement parts if needed. This preparation can speed up the repair process significantly.
We prioritize emergency heating calls and typically respond within 2-4 hours during business hours. After-hours emergencies receive the fastest possible response, usually within 3-6 hours depending on current service demand and weather conditions.
First, check your thermostat settings and circuit breakers to ensure proper power supply. If these simple checks don't resolve the problem, contact us immediately for emergency service.
Most heating repairs can be completed during the initial service call because we maintain extensive parts inventory on our service vehicles. However, some repairs involving specialized components might require additional parts ordering or follow-up visits.
We can repair most heating systems regardless of age, though parts availability sometimes becomes challenging for very old equipment. Our experience with older systems often enables us to find creative solutions or suitable replacement components.
Yes, all our heating repairs include warranties on both parts and workmanship. Warranty periods vary depending on the type of repair and components involved, but we stand behind our work.
We repair all major heating equipment brands including Armstrong Air, Carrier, Daikin, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, York, and many others. Our technicians receive ongoing training on various manufacturers' equipment.
