Where we go, and how fast
Our Houston work runs from the Medical Center south, inside and outside the loop. From County Road 130 the drive to the Medical Center is about 25 minutes off-peak, and we come in from the south, outside the loop. Calls placed before noon usually get a tech the same day. A house that has dropped below 50° inside moves up the list.
If you are north of that line, in the Heights or out toward Spring, call someone closer.
South side ranch houses on gas heat
The gas grid runs all through south Houston, so the 1950s and '60s homes in Westbury and Meyerland, the brick ranches in Brays Oaks and Fondren Southwest, and the older subdivisions near Hobby mostly heat with gas. Igniters and flame sensors are the parts we replace most. Many of these houses also have small original returns, and a furnace that cannot breathe overheats and trips its limit until something else fails. We fix the airflow along with the part.
A furnace here may run only a few hundred hours a year, which lets a cracked heat exchanger hide for a few winters. After every gas repair we measure CO at the furnace and at the registers. If it reads high, we shut the furnace off and show you the numbers.
EaDo, the South Loop and the high-rises
Newer infill in EaDo and along the South Loop is adding heat pumps and dual-fuel systems. Variable-speed equipment gets a manometer and subcooling readings. A heat pump stuck in defrost on a 35° morning needs a different fix from a furnace that won't light, and we handle both on any brand. In the Medical Center and Midtown towers, we set up closet access with building management first.
If a repair quote starts nearing half the price of new equipment, heating installation in Houston is the other path, priced in writing next to the repair.
South Houston heating questions
I'm in the Heights. Can you come?
No. We only cover the south side, between the Medical Center and the Pearland line. The Galleria, the Heights, the Energy Corridor, Spring and Cypress are outside our area, and you will do better with a company based closer to you.
Our Meyerland furnace keeps shutting itself off after a few minutes. What causes that?
On the ranch houses around Meyerland and Westbury, we look at airflow first. Small original returns starve the furnace, the heat exchanger overheats, and the high limit shuts the burner down. Replacing the igniter will not stop it. The return and the filter get checked before any part.
I live in a Midtown high-rise. Can you work on the unit in our closet?
Yes. We coordinate with building management for access to the air handler closet before we come out, so give us the name of whoever handles that.
What does it cost to have someone look at it?
The diagnostic is $99, or $79 if you are a new customer, and it is waived when you approve the repair. You get the price in writing before any work, the same at night as during the day. Every repair is covered 12 months on parts and labor.
Is it worth a fall tune-up in Houston?
Winter Storm Uri in 2021 is the case for it. Houston can go years without a hard freeze and then get several days of one, and furnaces that idle most of the year fail right when everyone needs them. The tune-up is $99, $79 with our website coupon.
