About 50 freezing nights a year, a record low of 1°F, and equipment that sat idle all summer. We get your furnace or heat pump running again — safely.
Winter is the shorter season in San Angelo, but it isn’t a season to ignore. We average about 50 nights a year below freezing, the January normal low sits around 33°F, and the record low is a genuinely cold 1°F. Cold snaps here tend to arrive fast and hard — and because heating equipment sits idle for months, the first hard freeze is exactly when a furnace or heat pump decides to quit.
We service and repair every kind of heating system common to the Concho Valley:
Because our heating equipment runs so few hours compared with the AC, problems hide all summer and only surface when you finally need heat. A flame sensor coated in residue, a cracked igniter, a heat pump’s tired reversing valve — none of it shows up in July. That’s why a quick heating check in the fall is worth so much: it turns a 20° night emergency into a cheap, scheduled fix. Ask us about folding a heating check into a maintenance plan.
The process mirrors our cooling work: a real phone conversation and a clear diagnostic fee before we drive out, a methodical diagnosis on site, and honest options — repair now, or repair-versus-replace if the system is genuinely near its end. Most heating repairs are straightforward and same-day. If you have a heat pump and it’s struggling to keep up on the rare truly cold morning, that may be normal behavior for the equipment rather than a fault, and we’ll explain the difference instead of selling you a part you don’t need.
A surprising number of “no heat” calls have simple explanations worth ruling out first. Confirm the thermostat is set to heat and the temperature is actually above the room reading. Check that the furnace switch (it looks like a light switch near the unit) is on and the breaker hasn’t tripped. Make sure the filter isn’t completely clogged, since severe airflow restriction can trip a furnace on its safety limit. And if you have a gas furnace, verify the gas is on. If all of that checks out and you still have no heat — or if anything smells or sounds wrong — stop there and call us. Repeatedly resetting a furnace that keeps shutting itself down usually means a safety device is doing its job for a reason.
If you have a heat pump, understand that it works differently from a furnace. On a cold morning you may see the outdoor unit steaming during a defrost cycle, and the air from the vents is warm but not furnace-hot — both are normal. What isn’t normal is a heat pump that runs constantly on emergency/auxiliary heat, ices over completely, or blows cold air on heat mode. Those point to a reversing-valve, defrost, or charge issue we should look at. Because we only get around 50 freezing nights a year, these problems often hide until the one week you truly need heat — another reason a fall check pays off.
