Your furnace stopped working in the middle of the night. Or your heat pump’s blowing cold air when it’s 28 degrees outside. You need someone who picks up the phone, shows up when they say they will, and fixes it right the first time.
That’s what you get with our heating repair service in Austin. No diagnostic fees that turn into surprise bills. No pressure to replace your entire system when a repair will do the job. Just honest assessment, upfront pricing, and technicians who know the difference between a failing ignitor and a company trying to upsell you.
Most repairs get done same-day. You’re not waiting three days for parts or callbacks. If your system’s beyond repair, we’ll walk you through your options without the sales pitch. Austin winters might be mild most of the time, but when that freeze warning hits, you need heat that works.
Texas Air Repair has spent over 20 years handling HVAC emergencies across San Antonio, Houston, and Austin. We’re -owned, which means we show up on time and do what we say we’re going to do. No shortcuts. No excuses.
Our technicians are licensed, certified, and trained on the systems Austin homes actually have—not just the newest models. Whether you’ve got a 15-year-old gas furnace in Hyde Park or a heat pump in Circle C Ranch, we’ve worked on it before. We know how Austin’s humidity affects your system in summer and why your furnace struggles when temperatures drop fast.
You’re not getting a rookie or a subcontractor. You’re getting someone who’s done this thousands of times and can tell you exactly what’s wrong, what it costs, and how long it’ll last.
You call or submit a request online. We ask a few questions about what’s happening—no heat, strange noises, burning smell, whatever it is. If it’s an emergency, we dispatch someone immediately. If it’s not urgent, we schedule a time that works for you.
Our technician shows up in a marked vehicle with the tools and common parts already on the truck. They’ll inspect your system, run diagnostics, and figure out what’s actually wrong. Before any work starts, you get a clear quote. No hidden fees. No “we’ll know more once we open it up” nonsense.
Once you approve, we make the repair. Most jobs finish in one visit. If we need to order a part, we’ll let you know how long it’ll take and whether a temporary fix makes sense. After the repair, we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and efficiently. You get a warranty on parts and labor, and we clean up before we leave.

We handle all types of residential heating systems—gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits. Common repairs include replacing igniters, flame sensors, blower motors, capacitors, thermostats, and limit switches. If your system’s short-cycling, making loud noises, or not reaching temperature, we’ll find out why.
Austin’s climate is tough on HVAC equipment. Your system works overtime in summer, sits idle for months, then suddenly needs to fire up when a freeze rolls through. That on-and-off cycle causes wear. Dust and humidity don’t help either. Most of the heating problems we see in Austin come from lack of maintenance or parts that failed because the system wasn’t serviced regularly.
We also handle emergency heating repairs 24/7. If your furnace goes out at 2 a.m. and it’s 30 degrees outside, we’re available. We stock parts for the most common brands and models in Austin homes, so there’s a good chance we can fix it without waiting on an order. And if your system’s old enough that repair doesn’t make financial sense, we’ll tell you straight—and explain why replacement might save you money in the long run.
Most heating repairs in Austin run between $150 and $500, depending on what’s broken. Simple fixes like replacing a thermostat or flame sensor are on the lower end. Blower motor or heat exchanger replacements cost more.
You’ll get an upfront quote before we start any work. We don’t charge diagnostic fees that disappear into the final bill or surprise you with extra labor costs. If your repair estimate is more than half the cost of a new system and your furnace is over 12 years old, replacement usually makes more sense. We’ll walk you through the math so you can decide what works for your situation and budget.
If your furnace is under 10 years old and the repair costs less than $500, fixing it almost always makes sense. If it’s 15 years old, breaking down frequently, and the repair costs $1,000 or more, replacement is usually the smarter move.
Here’s why: older systems cost more to run, even when they’re working fine. A furnace that’s lived past its expected lifespan burns more energy to produce the same heat, which means higher bills every month. Add in the cost of repeated repairs, and you’re spending more to keep an inefficient system limping along than you would investing in a new one. We’ll give you the numbers for both options so you can make the call.
Yes. Most heating repairs get done the same day you call, especially if it’s an emergency. We keep common parts stocked on our trucks, so we’re not waiting on orders or making multiple trips.
If you call in the morning with no heat, there’s a good chance your system’s running again by afternoon. The only time same-day service isn’t possible is when we need to special-order a part for an older or uncommon system. Even then, we’ll let you know exactly how long it’ll take and whether there’s a temporary fix we can do in the meantime. For emergency calls during Austin’s cold snaps, we prioritize homes without heat.
The most common issues we see are failed igniters, dirty flame sensors, worn blower motors, and bad capacitors. Thermostats cause problems too, especially if they’re old or installed in a spot that doesn’t reflect your home’s actual temperature.
Austin’s climate plays a role. Your heating system sits unused for most of the year, then suddenly needs to work when temperatures drop. That stop-start cycle is hard on components. Dust buildup is another issue—when your furnace kicks on after months of sitting idle, dirt on the flame sensor or burners can prevent it from firing up. Regular maintenance catches most of these problems before they leave you without heat, but if you’ve skipped service for a few years, something’s probably going to fail when you need it most.
Yes. Every technician we send to your home is licensed, certified, and insured. That’s not just for our protection—it’s for yours. If something goes wrong during a repair, you’re covered. If the work doesn’t meet code, we’re accountable.
Licensing also means our technicians have passed the required exams and training to work on HVAC systems safely and correctly. You’re not getting someone who watched a YouTube video and bought a toolbox. You’re getting a professional who knows how to diagnose problems, make repairs that last, and follow Austin’s building codes. We’ve been doing this for over 20 years, and we don’t cut corners on credentials or quality.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency heating repair in Austin, including nights, weekends, and holidays. If your furnace goes out and it’s freezing outside, you shouldn’t have to wait until Monday morning for help.
Emergency calls get prioritized based on severity. If you have no heat and temperatures are below freezing, we’ll get someone to you as fast as possible. If your system’s running but not heating efficiently, we’ll schedule you for the next available slot. Emergency service does cost more than regular appointments—that’s standard across the industry—but we’re upfront about pricing before we dispatch a technician. You’ll know what you’re paying before anyone shows up at your door.
