You’re not just getting heat back. You’re getting a system that runs quietly, heats evenly, and doesn’t spike your electric bill every month.
When your furnace breaks during a cold snap, your kids bundle up in blankets and your elderly parents start looking for space heaters. That’s not just uncomfortable—it’s a safety issue. Our heating repair gets your system running so your family stays warm without worrying whether it’ll quit again next week.
Most repairs get done on the first visit. That means one appointment, one diagnostic fee, and one fix that actually lasts. You’re not waiting days for a part to come in or dealing with a technician who needs to “come back later.” We stock common parts on our trucks and handle the majority of furnace issues the same day you call.
Texas Air Repair has been fixing heating systems across San Antonio, Austin, and Houston for over 20 years. We’re -owned, which means we show up on time and finish what we start.
Fair Oaks Ranch homeowners deal with unpredictable Texas winters—mild one week, freezing the next. Your heating system needs to handle those swings without breaking down when temperatures drop overnight. We’ve worked on hundreds of systems in this area, so we know what fails and why.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and trained on the systems most common in your neighborhood. When you call, you’re getting someone who’s seen your exact furnace model before and knows how to fix it without upselling you on a replacement you don’t need yet.
You call or text, and we schedule a time that works for you—often same-day if it’s an emergency. Our technician shows up in a marked truck with diagnostic tools and common replacement parts already on board.
First, we run a full system check. That includes your thermostat, ignition system, blower motor, heat exchanger, and ductwork connections. We’re looking for the actual problem, not just the symptom. If your furnace won’t ignite, that could be a faulty igniter, a gas valve issue, or a flame sensor that’s covered in carbon buildup.
Once we find the issue, we explain what’s wrong in plain terms and give you an upfront price before starting any work. No hidden fees, no “we’ll need to open it up to see” charges. If you approve the repair, we fix it on the spot. Then we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and safely before we leave.
Ready to get started?
Every heating repair starts with a complete diagnostic. We check electrical connections, gas pressure, airflow, and safety controls. You’re not paying for guesswork—you’re paying for an accurate diagnosis and a fix that addresses the root cause.
Fair Oaks Ranch homes often have high-efficiency furnaces or heat pump systems. These require specific tools and knowledge to repair correctly. Our technicians carry equipment to test capacitors, measure refrigerant levels, and calibrate thermostats on the spot. If your system uses a two-stage furnace or variable-speed blower, we know how to adjust it so it heats efficiently without short-cycling.
We also check your air filter, inspect your ductwork for leaks, and make sure your carbon monoxide detector is working. Texas winters might not be as harsh as up north, but when temperatures drop into the 20s—like they did during Winter Storm Uri—your heating system becomes critical. We make sure it’s ready to handle whatever weather comes next.
You’ll get a warranty on parts and labor. If something goes wrong with the repair, we come back and make it right at no extra charge.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, and most calls in Fair Oaks Ranch get a same-day response. If your heat goes out overnight or on a weekend, we’re still available.
Emergency situations—like no heat when it’s below freezing, or a furnace that’s making burning smells—get priority scheduling. We’ll give you an estimated arrival time when you call, and our technician will text you when they’re on the way.
During extreme cold events, call volume goes up and wait times can stretch a few hours. But we don’t make you wait days like some companies do when they’re busy. If you’re dealing with a safety issue like a gas smell or electrical sparking, we’ll get someone to you as fast as possible.
Most heating repairs in this area run between $150 and $600, depending on what’s broken. A simple fix like replacing a flame sensor or capacitor costs less than rebuilding a blower motor or replacing a heat exchanger.
We give you an exact price before we start the repair. You’ll know what you’re paying for parts, labor, and any diagnostic fees upfront. No surprises when the job’s done.
If your furnace is over 15 years old and needs a major repair—like a cracked heat exchanger—we’ll be honest about whether it makes more sense to replace the unit instead. But we’re not going to push a new system on you if a repair will give you another few years of reliable heat. You’ll get the information you need to make the right call for your budget and your home.
If your furnace is under 12 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a new system, a repair usually makes sense. If it’s older than 15 years and breaking down frequently, replacement might be the smarter move.
We’ll walk you through the math. A $400 repair on a 10-year-old furnace buys you several more years of heat. A $1,200 repair on a 20-year-old system that’s already inefficient? That’s harder to justify when a new high-efficiency unit could cut your heating bills and come with a 10-year warranty.
You’ll also want to consider how often you’re calling for repairs. If you’ve had three service calls in the past two years, that’s a sign your system is wearing out. We’ll give you our honest recommendation based on the condition of your equipment, but the final decision is always yours.
We repair both furnaces and heat pumps. Many Fair Oaks Ranch homes use heat pump systems since they handle both heating and cooling, and they’re efficient in Texas’s mild winter climate.
Heat pumps can develop issues like refrigerant leaks, reversing valve failures, or frozen outdoor coils during cold weather. Our technicians carry the tools and refrigerant needed to diagnose and fix these problems on the first visit.
If your heat pump is running constantly but not heating well, or if it’s switching to emergency heat too often, that’s usually a sign of low refrigerant or a failing compressor. We’ll test the system, find the issue, and let you know what it’ll take to get it working efficiently again. Heat pumps are more complex than standard furnaces, so it’s important to work with a company that actually understands how they operate.
Most furnaces fail because of a dirty flame sensor, a tripped safety switch, or a worn-out igniter. These parts handle the startup sequence, and when they malfunction, your system won’t fire up even though the thermostat is calling for heat.
Flame sensors get coated with carbon buildup over time. When that happens, the sensor can’t detect the flame, so the furnace shuts down as a safety precaution. Cleaning or replacing the sensor fixes the issue in about 20 minutes.
Igniters wear out after years of heating cycles. If your furnace tries to start but you don’t hear the burners light, a failed igniter is usually the culprit. Safety switches—like the high-limit switch or pressure switch—can trip if your filter is clogged or your blower motor is struggling. We check all of these components during a diagnostic to figure out exactly why your system quit and get it running again.
Yes. All of our heating repairs come with a warranty on both parts and labor. If the same issue comes back within the warranty period, we’ll return and fix it at no additional cost.
The length of the warranty depends on the specific part we install. Manufacturer warranties on components like blower motors or gas valves typically range from one to five years. Our labor warranty covers the installation work itself, so you’re protected if something goes wrong with how the repair was performed.
We also recommend annual maintenance to keep your system running efficiently and catch small problems before they turn into expensive repairs. Regular tune-ups can extend the life of your furnace and help you avoid emergency breakdowns during the coldest weeks of winter. If you’re interested in a maintenance plan, we’ll explain what’s included and how it can save you money over time.
