Expert Heating Contractor Southlake Families Trust Most

Installing a new furnace is a big decision that affects your family's comfort for 15-20 years. We size every furnace using proper heat loss calculations, not guesswork. Too many heating contractor companies just match the old unit's size without considering efficiency improvements or home modifications.

An oversized furnace cycles on and off constantly, wasting energy and creating uneven temperatures. An undersized unit runs continuously and never warms your home properly. Our furnace installation process starts with measuring your house, calculating heat loss through windows and walls, and designing a system that works perfectly for your specific situation.

We install all major brands of gas and electric furnaces. High-efficiency condensing units that can cut heating bills in half. Two-stage furnaces that adjust output based on demand. Variable-speed models that run quietly and maintain consistent temperatures. Every furnace installation includes proper ductwork connections, electrical wiring, and thermostat setup.

Furnace problems always happen when you need heat most. The first cold snap of the season when your furnace hasn't run for months. Christmas morning when everything's closed. Sunday night when Monday's forecast shows freezing temperatures.

Our furnace repair service covers all heating systems throughout Southlake. Gas furnaces with ignition problems, cracked heat exchangers, or failed blower motors. Electric furnaces with burned-out elements or faulty sequencers. Oil furnaces that won't start or produce soot.

Most furnace repair calls fall into predictable categories. Dirty filters that restrict airflow and cause overheating. Thermostat problems that prevent proper system operation. Ignition issues that keep gas furnaces from lighting. Our trucks carry parts for the most common repairs, so we can often restore heat the same day.

Regular maintenance prevents most heating emergencies. We service hundreds of heating systems throughout Southlake every fall, preparing them for winter weather. Clean systems run more efficiently, last longer, and break down less frequently.

Our heating system maintenance includes inspecting heat exchangers for cracks, testing safety controls, cleaning burner assemblies, checking electrical connections, calibrating thermostats, and replacing filters. We find small problems before they become expensive repairs or dangerous situations.

Maintenance also improves efficiency and safety. Dirty burners waste gas and produce carbon monoxide. Loose electrical connections create fire hazards. Worn belts break at the worst times. Regular maintenance catches these issues early and keeps your heating system running safely all winter long.

Your thermostat controls your entire heating system. Modern thermostats offer features that older ones never had. Programmable models automatically adjust temperature based on your family's schedule. Smart thermostats learn your preferences and can be controlled remotely through your smartphone.

Thermostat installation involves more than just mounting a device on the wall. We program heating schedules that save energy while keeping everyone comfortable. We connect smart thermostats to your WiFi network and teach you how to use all the features.

Upgrading your thermostat is often the most cost-effective way to improve heating efficiency. Programmable models can reduce heating bills by 15-20% by automatically lowering temperature when you're asleep or away and warming back up before you return home.

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling using the same equipment. They're very efficient in North Texas climate because they don't create heat - they move it from outside air into your house. Even when it's cold outside, heat pumps can extract warmth from outdoor air.

Heat pump installation requires careful sizing and proper refrigerant line installation. We install air-source heat pumps that work well in Southlake's moderate climate. These systems heat efficiently until outdoor temperatures drop below about 25 degrees, then backup heat takes over.

Modern heat pump systems use variable-speed technology that adjusts capacity based on heating demand. Instead of just on or off, these systems run at different speeds to maintain consistent temperatures while using less energy.

Heat pump repair differs from furnace repair because these systems have both indoor and outdoor components connected by refrigerant lines. Common problems include refrigerant leaks, failed reversing valves, frozen outdoor coils, and defective backup heat elements.

We service all major brands of heat pump systems throughout Southlake. Our technicians carry specialized tools for checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, and diagnosing control problems. Many heat pump repairs can be completed the same day if we catch the problem early.

Heat pumps work harder during extreme cold weather, so problems often develop during winter months. Ice buildup on outdoor coils is normal, but excessive ice indicates problems with defrost controls or low refrigerant levels.

Ductless heating systems work perfectly for room additions, converted garages, sunrooms, and homes without existing ductwork. These systems mount on walls and connect to outdoor units through small refrigerant lines. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently.

Ductless mini-split installation is less invasive than central systems. We mount indoor units on interior walls and run refrigerant lines through small holes to outdoor condensing units. No ductwork needed. Installation typically takes one day for single-zone systems.

We install single-zone and multi-zone ductless systems. Single-zone systems heat one room or area. Multi-zone systems connect multiple indoor units to one outdoor unit, providing independent heating control for different areas of your home.

Ductless systems are reliable, but they still need occasional repairs. Common problems include dirty filters that restrict airflow, refrigerant leaks that reduce heating capacity, and electrical issues that prevent proper operation.

Our ductless mini-split repair service covers all major brands. We clean filters and coils, test electrical connections, check refrigerant levels, and diagnose control problems. Most repairs are straightforward because these systems have fewer mechanical parts than central systems.

Regular maintenance prevents most ductless system problems. We recommend annual service that includes cleaning indoor and outdoor coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, and inspecting wall-mounted units for proper operation.

Complete HVAC system installation involves your entire comfort system - heating, cooling, ductwork, and controls. We design integrated systems where all components work together efficiently. This approach provides better comfort and reliability than mixing different brands and ages of equipment.

Our HVAC system installation process starts with understanding your family's needs and your home's characteristics. Large open areas need different approaches than traditional room layouts. Homes with high ceilings require special consideration for air distribution and temperature control.

We install complete systems from leading manufacturers. Gas furnaces paired with electric air conditioning. Heat pump systems that provide year-round comfort. Hybrid systems that automatically switch between gas and electric based on outdoor temperature and energy costs.

When your heating or cooling system fails, you need a heating contractor who can diagnose problems quickly and make repairs that last. Our HVAC system repair service covers all components - furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductwork, and controls.

We approach system repairs systematically, testing each component to identify root causes rather than just treating symptoms. A system that won't heat might have a bad thermostat, failed ignition, dirty filter, or blocked ductwork. We find the real problem and fix it right.

Our trucks carry parts for most common repairs. Thermostats, ignition controls, blower motors, contactors, and capacitors. Having parts available means we can often complete repairs during our first visit instead of leaving you without heat while ordering parts.

Heating emergencies can't wait until regular business hours. When temperatures drop below freezing and your heating system fails, you need help immediately. We provide true emergency heating repair service with real technicians available 24/7.

Our emergency service prioritizes calls based on outside temperature and family situations. Elderly residents, families with young children, and customers with medical conditions get priority during extreme cold. We also handle dangerous situations like gas leaks or carbon monoxide detection.

Most emergency heating repair calls happen during the first cold snap of the season when systems haven't operated for months. Pilot lights that won't stay lit, blower motors that seized up, or thermostats that failed over the summer. Regular maintenance prevents many of these emergencies.

Gas furnaces are the most common heating systems in Southlake because natural gas provides reliable, efficient heating at reasonable cost. We install all efficiency levels from basic 80% AFUE units to high-efficiency 96% condensing furnaces.

Gas furnace installation requires proper sizing, gas line connections, venting, and electrical wiring. High-efficiency models need condensate drains because they extract so much heat that water vapor condenses inside the unit. We handle all these details during installation.

Modern gas furnaces offer features that older units never had. Two-stage burners that adjust flame size based on heating demand. Variable-speed blowers that run quietly and efficiently. Modulating units that fine-tune output to maintain exact temperatures.

Gas furnace problems range from simple to complex. Dirty filters cause most issues by restricting airflow and making systems overheat. Thermostat problems prevent proper operation. Ignition failures keep furnaces from lighting.

Our gas furnace repair service covers all makes and models throughout Southlake. We diagnose ignition problems, replace failed heat exchangers, repair gas valve issues, and fix electrical components. Safety is always our top priority when working on gas appliances.

Some gas furnace repairs require immediate attention. Cracked heat exchangers can leak carbon monoxide. Gas leaks create explosion hazards. Yellow flames instead of blue flames indicate combustion problems. We respond quickly to dangerous situations.

Electric furnaces work well in homes without natural gas service or as backup heat for heat pump systems. They're safe, reliable, and require less maintenance than gas units. We install electric furnaces sized properly for your home's heating needs.

Electric furnace installation is simpler than gas because there's no venting or gas connections required. However, these units draw significant electrical current, so proper wiring and electrical panel capacity are important considerations.

Most electric furnaces use sequencers to stage heating elements on and off based on demand. This prevents drawing full electrical load instantly and provides more even heating. We install systems with proper electrical protection and controls.

Electric furnace repair usually involves heating elements, sequencers, or blower components. Heating elements burn out over time and need replacement. Sequencers control when elements turn on and off. Blower motors circulate heated air through your ductwork.

We service all brands of electric furnaces throughout Southlake. Our technicians carry common heating elements and electrical parts for most repairs. Electric systems are generally reliable because they have fewer moving parts than gas furnaces.

Electric furnace problems often show up as insufficient heat rather than complete failure. One or two burned-out elements might leave your system running but not producing enough warmth. We test each element and replace failed components.

Before buying a home, get the heating system professionally inspected. Home inspectors check basics, but heating contractors understand system condition, efficiency, and remaining life. Our heating system inspection identifies problems that could become expensive repairs.

We inspect all system components including furnaces, ductwork, venting, electrical connections, and controls. Our written report explains what we found and estimates costs for any needed repairs or improvements.

Current homeowners benefit from inspections too. If your heating bills seem high or your system isn't keeping you comfortable, an inspection can identify efficiency problems and recommend solutions. Sometimes small improvements make big differences in performance.
