Houston winters are short but sharp. When a cold front hits and your furnace or heat pump won't keep up, our techs diagnose and fix it fast.
Select the closest match for faster technician routing.
A few checks that are safe to do yourself before a technician arrives.
A burning smell on first use of the season is often just dust burning off and usually clears in a few minutes. A persistent gas odor is different and requires immediate action.

Systems unused for 8+ months develop issues that surface on first cold start.
Dust accumulation during the off-season is a leading cause of ignition failure.
Rapid temperature drops push aging systems into failure.
A dirty filter forgotten from summer restricts heating airflow too.
"AC died at 9pm in July. Tech was at our door in 30 minutes and had it running again within the hour."
"Gave us the price upfront, no surprise charges. Compressor was clearly explained before they touched it."
"Called three companies at 11pm — only one picked up. Real technician walked me through safety steps."
Most Houston furnaces sit unused for eight or nine months. The first real cold front of the season is when every weakness shows up at once.
Bearings dry out, dust settles on the ignitor and flame sensor, and small electrical contacts corrode. A system that ran fine in March can refuse to start in December.
Many no-heat calls turn out to be a thermostat still set to cool, dead batteries, or a heat setting that was never tested after summer. We check this first on every call.
The ignitor is the most common cold-start failure in Houston. Dust from the long off-season coats it, and the flame sensor cannot prove a flame that never lights.
A filter forgotten since summer, a seized blower motor, or closed vents can trip the high-limit switch and shut the furnace down mid-cycle, leaving rooms cold.
A furnace that will not start during a cold front is not a next-week job. Indoor temperatures in a Houston home can fall fast overnight, and pipes in exterior walls are at risk once the house drops into the 40s. If anyone in the home is elderly, very young, or has a health condition, treat a no-heat call as urgent.
