What your neighborhood probably has
- Forest Bend, Sunmeadow, Quaker Bend, Annalea Whispering Pines. Mostly 1980s and '90s homes with gas furnaces. The calls are igniters, flame sensors, and now and then a heat exchanger question on the oldest units.
- West Ranch, Friendswood Lakes and the newer builds. Heat pumps and dual-fuel, a lot of it variable-speed. These get a manometer and subcooling readings before anyone orders a part.
A furnace short-cycling on a clogged filter, a heat pump stuck in defrost, and a dual-fuel system that never switches to gas all show up as the same phone call. Diagnosis comes first. Then you get a written price. The $99 diagnostic ($79 for new customers) is waived when you approve the repair, and the repair is covered 12 months on parts and labor.
Friendswood heating questions
We turned the heat on for the first time and it smells like something is burning. Should I worry?
On the first cold day of the year, that is usually dust on the heat exchanger burning off, and it should fade after the first run. A smell that sticks around, or any smoke, is different. Turn the system off and call us.
The CO alarm near our furnace went off. What do we do?
Shut the furnace off, get some fresh air, and call. We measure carbon monoxide at the furnace and at the registers after every gas repair we do, and we will find where it is coming from.
Our West Ranch system has a heat pump and a gas furnace. Which one broke?
That is a dual-fuel system, and a common Friendswood call is the handoff between the two: the heat pump runs on a cold morning when the furnace should have taken over, or the furnace never lights at all. The fault can sit in the controls or the outdoor temperature sensor while both machines are fine.
Do you cover both 77546 and 77549?
Both ZIPs and both county sides of town. We come down FM 528 from the Pearland shop, 15 to 20 minutes most days.
Repair or replace?
If the unit is old and the repair costs more than half of a new system, replacing usually makes more sense. Heat pump systems start at $7,500 installed. We price both on one page and let you decide.
