Furnace Repair
A furnace that won't ignite, runs but doesn't heat, or short-cycles has a diagnosable cause. Common failures: failed ignitor, bad flame sensor, faulty control board, or a tripped high-limit switch from restricted airflow. We carry ignitors and flame sensors on the truck — those are fixed same-day in most cases.
A customer in Solms Landing called on a Saturday in August. AC out. House at 88 inside. Two kids under 10. Justin was there in under 90 minutes — bad contactor, parts on the truck, quoted $275 flat on the phone. The job ran longer because the disconnect box had corroded wiring he repaired while he was in there. Total time: two and a half hours. Invoice: $275. Same as the phone quote. The corroded wiring was a no-charge safety fix because he was already in there and it took 15 minutes. That's what flat-rate actually means.
Check the filter first. A clogged air filter starves the furnace of airflow and trips the high-limit switch as a safety measure — which looks like the system died but is the system protecting itself. Pull the filter. If it's solid grey, replace it and try again before calling anyone. A new filter is $5–$20. A service call is $89.
Furnace Maintenance
Fall is the right time for a furnace tune-up — before the first cold front hits and before every other HVAC company in the county is booked out two weeks. Our heating inspection covers the heat exchanger, ignitor, flame sensor, burners, flue, gas pressure, electrical connections, and a safety check for CO leaks.
A cracked heat exchanger is the one furnace issue you do not want to find out about in the middle of February. It lets combustion gases — including carbon monoxide — mix with the air your furnace circulates through the house. We check for it every time. If we find one, we tell you what it means, what it costs to fix, and what it costs to replace. You decide.
Furnace Installation & Replacement
Furnace lifespan in South Texas with annual maintenance: 15–20 years. Without maintenance: 10–12. If yours is over 15 years old and needs a significant repair, a replacement quote is worth having before you commit to the repair cost.
We do proper load calculations, size to the home, and quote in writing before ordering anything. We install all major brands. Permits pulled where required. We don't push brand loyalty — we push right-sized equipment installed correctly.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
A heat pump does both jobs — cools in summer, heats in winter — by moving heat rather than generating it. In South Texas's mild winters, they're highly efficient because there's rarely enough cold to push them into emergency heat mode. For homes looking to replace an aging system or add a second zone, a heat pump is worth a conversation.
We size, quote, and install heat pumps. Call for specifics — the right answer depends on your home's layout, existing ductwork, and how you use the space.
