You wake up to a cold house. The thermostat’s cranked, but nothing’s happening. Your furnace isn’t kicking on, and you’ve got kids getting ready for school or elderly family members who can’t handle the chill.
Here’s what happens when you call us. You get a licensed technician who’s seen this exact problem dozens of times in Leon Valley homes. We arrive with a fully stocked truck, diagnose the issue fast, and handle the repair right there—no waiting days for parts to ship or scheduling a second visit.
Most heating repairs get done the same day. Your system’s back online, your house warms up, and you’re not left scrambling for space heaters or worrying about pipes freezing. That’s the difference between a company that just “does HVAC” and one that’s been handling Texas weather for over 30 years.
Texas Air Repair has been fixing heating systems across San Antonio, Houston, and Austin for more than three decades. We’re veteran-owned, which means the way we operate—honest communication, showing up on time, doing what we say—isn’t a marketing angle. It’s how we were trained.
Leon Valley sits right in the path of those unpredictable Texas cold fronts that roll through in January and February. We’ve responded to hundreds of emergency heating calls in this area, and we know what breaks, when it breaks, and how to fix it without dragging things out. You’re not getting a rookie or a subcontractor. You’re getting certified technicians who’ve been doing this long enough to spot problems before they become bigger ones.
We’re available 24/7 because furnaces don’t wait for business hours to quit. And we give you clear pricing before we start any work—no surprise fees after the fact.
You call or submit a request. We ask a few quick questions about what’s happening—no heat at all, strange noises, thermostat issues—so we know what to bring.
A licensed technician arrives at your home in Leon Valley, usually within a few hours for emergencies. They inspect your furnace or heat pump, run diagnostics, and figure out exactly what’s wrong. Then they explain it to you in plain terms. No jargon, no upselling.
If it’s a common issue—ignitor failure, blower motor problem, thermostat malfunction—we fix it on the spot. Our trucks carry the parts that fail most often in Texas systems. If it’s something more complex, we walk you through your options with upfront pricing for each one.
Once the repair’s done, we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and safely. You get a warranty on the work, and we make sure you understand how to avoid the same issue down the road. Then we’re out of your way.
Ready to get started?
Every heating repair starts with a full system diagnostic. We’re not guessing. We’re checking ignition systems, blower motors, thermostats, ductwork connections, gas lines, and electrical components to pinpoint the exact failure.
Leon Valley homes deal with a specific challenge: mild winters punctuated by sudden freezes. Your heating system might sit idle for weeks, then get pushed hard when temperatures drop into the 30s overnight. That on-and-off demand causes wear in places most homeowners don’t think about—like heat exchangers that crack from rapid temperature swings or pilot lights that go out when systems haven’t run in a while.
We handle all of it. Furnace repairs, heat pump troubleshooting, emergency shutoffs for safety concerns, and air quality checks if your system’s been circulating dust or combustion byproducts. If your heating system can break, we’ve fixed it before.
You also get honest advice. If a repair costs more than the system’s worth, we’ll tell you. If a small fix now prevents a big expense later, we’ll tell you that too. We’re not here to rack up service calls—we’re here to keep your heat working.
For true emergencies—no heat during freezing weather, gas smell, system making dangerous noises—we prioritize same-day response. Most of the time, we’re at your door within a few hours.
Here’s the reality: when a cold front hits Leon Valley and temperatures drop into the 30s or 40s overnight, every HVAC company in the area gets slammed with calls. We can’t eliminate that surge, but we staff for it. We keep multiple crews on call during peak winter months specifically so you’re not waiting until tomorrow or the day after.
If it’s not an emergency—like your heat’s working but not as well as it should—we’ll still get you scheduled fast, usually within 24 hours. But if your family’s sitting in a cold house right now, that’s when we move fastest.
Ignition system failures top the list. Your furnace might sit unused for weeks during mild Texas weather, then suddenly gets asked to fire up when temperatures drop. Igniters wear out, pilot lights go out, and flame sensors get dirty—any of those will prevent your system from producing heat.
Blower motor issues come in second. If your furnace hasn’t run in a while, the blower motor can seize up or the capacitor that starts it can fail. You’ll hear clicking or humming, but no warm air comes out.
Thermostat problems are also common, especially in older homes around Leon Valley. If your thermostat isn’t communicating properly with your furnace, the system won’t know when to turn on. Sometimes it’s as simple as dead batteries. Other times, it’s faulty wiring or a thermostat that needs replacing.
We carry parts for all three issues in our trucks, which is why most repairs get done on the first visit.
Yes. Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, we give you a clear price for the repair before we touch anything. No surprises, no “we’ll figure it out as we go” nonsense.
You’ll know exactly what the part costs, what the labor costs, and what’s covered under warranty. If there are multiple ways to fix the issue—like a temporary repair vs a permanent one—we’ll explain both options and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
The only time pricing changes is if we find a second issue while we’re in there—and even then, we stop and tell you before doing any additional work. A lot of homeowners in Leon Valley have been burned by companies that lowball the estimate, then tack on fees after the fact. That’s not how we operate.
Yes. Every repair we complete comes with a warranty on both parts and labor. The length depends on the specific part we install—some manufacturers cover parts for a year, others for longer—but we stand behind the work regardless.
If something we fixed stops working again within the warranty period, we come back and make it right at no additional cost to you. That includes labor, which a lot of companies charge for even if the part itself is under warranty.
We also keep records of every service call, so if you need warranty work done six months from now, we already have your system history on file. You don’t have to dig up old invoices or wonder if you’re still covered.
This matters more than most people realize. Heating repairs aren’t cheap, and you deserve to know that the fix will actually last.
We’ll tell you straight up. If the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, or if your furnace is over 15-20 years old and likely to need more repairs soon, replacement usually makes more sense.
Here’s how we handle it: we give you the repair estimate first. Then, if it’s a borderline call, we also give you the cost of a new system so you can compare. We explain what you’re getting with each option—how much longer the repaired system might last, what kind of efficiency and energy savings a new system offers, and what the total cost looks like either way.
A lot of older furnaces in Leon Valley homes are oversized for the space or running at 60-70% efficiency. A new system can cut your energy bills significantly, especially if you’re still using a furnace that was installed in the 90s or early 2000s. But that’s your call to make, not ours.
We’re not here to push you into a new system if a repair will genuinely get you through a few more winters. We just want you to have the full picture.
We handle both. Heat pumps are increasingly common in Texas because they’re more efficient than traditional furnaces in mild climates—and Leon Valley’s winters definitely qualify as mild most of the time.
Heat pump repairs are different from furnace repairs. Instead of combustion and gas lines, you’re dealing with refrigerant, reversing valves, and compressor issues. Our technicians are EPA 608 certified for refrigerant work, which is required by law and ensures we’re handling your system safely and correctly.
The most common heat pump problems we see in Leon Valley are refrigerant leaks, frozen coils during those rare hard freezes, and reversing valve failures that prevent the system from switching between heating and cooling modes. All of those are fixable, and we carry the diagnostic tools and parts to handle them on-site.
If you’re not sure whether you have a furnace or a heat pump, we can tell you when we arrive. Either way, we’ve got the training and experience to fix it.
