You wake up to a cold house. The thermostat says 72, but it feels like 50. Your furnace is running, but no warm air is coming through the vents.
In San Antonio, we don’t see freezing temperatures often. But when we do, heating systems that sit idle most of the year suddenly get asked to perform—and that’s when failures happen. A broken heater isn’t just uncomfortable. It’s a safety issue for kids, elderly family members, and pets. It puts your pipes at risk of freezing and bursting, which can lead to thousands in water damage.
You need someone who picks up the phone, shows up when they say they will, and fixes it right the first time. Not someone who gives you a runaround or tries to sell you a new system when a repair will do. Our licensed heating technicians handle furnace repair, heat pump issues, and full HVAC services across San Antonio and Bexar County. Most heating repairs get done same-day, and we’re available around the clock for emergencies.
We’re a veteran-owned HVAC company that’s been serving San Antonio since day one. We’re not a national franchise or a call center operation. We’re local, licensed, and insured—and we’ve been fixing heating systems in neighborhoods like Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, and the King William District for more than two decades.
Our technicians know San Antonio’s weather swings. They understand how hard water affects your heating equipment and why garage-mounted units face different challenges than attic installs. You’re not getting a generic diagnosis. You’re getting someone who’s seen your exact problem before and knows how to fix it without wasting your time or money.
We don’t do high-pressure sales. If your furnace needs a $200 part, we’re not going to pitch you a $6,000 replacement. We’ll tell you what’s wrong, what it costs to fix, and how long it’ll last. Then you decide.
First, you call or contact us online. If it’s an emergency, we prioritize same-day service. If it’s not urgent, we’ll schedule a time that works for you—and we actually show up when we say we will.
When our technician arrives, they’ll listen to what’s happening. Cold air blowing? Strange noises? Burning smell? Gas odor? They’ll ask questions, inspect your system, and run diagnostics to find the root cause. This isn’t a guessing game. It’s a methodical process that gets to the real issue, not just the symptom.
Once they know what’s wrong, they’ll explain it in plain terms. No jargon. No upselling. Just a clear breakdown of what needs to happen, what it costs, and how long the repair will take. If you approve the work, most repairs get finished on the spot. If a part needs to be ordered, we’ll let you know the timeline upfront.
After the repair, we test the system to make sure it’s heating properly and safely. Then we walk you through what we did and answer any questions. You’ll also get a warranty on parts and labor, so if something goes wrong, we’ll make it right.

We handle all types of residential heating repair in San Antonio. That includes gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems. Whether your heater won’t turn on, isn’t producing warm air, or is making noises that don’t sound right, we’ll diagnose and fix it.
Common heating repairs we handle: ignition or pilot light issues, thermostat malfunctions, blower motor failures, cracked heat exchangers, clogged filters, ductwork leaks, and refrigerant problems in heat pump systems. We also address safety concerns like gas leaks, carbon monoxide risks, and electrical faults.
San Antonio’s hard water creates mineral buildup inside heating systems over time, which reduces efficiency and can cause premature failure. Our technicians know how to spot this and address it before it becomes a bigger problem. We also clean and inspect air ducts, which matters more than most people realize—especially in older homes or properties with pets.
If your heating system is beyond repair, we’ll tell you. But we won’t push a replacement unless it genuinely makes sense. Some systems are worth fixing. Others aren’t. We’ll give you the information you need to make the right call for your situation and budget.
For true emergencies—no heat during freezing weather, gas odors, or carbon monoxide concerns—we prioritize same-day service and often arrive within a few hours of your call. Our technicians are available 24/7, so you’re not waiting until Monday morning if your heater fails on a Saturday night.
Response time depends on where you’re located in San Antonio and how many emergency calls we’re handling that day. During cold snaps, demand spikes and we triage based on urgency. A family with young kids or elderly residents in a freezing house gets priority over someone who just wants a tune-up.
When you call, we’ll give you an honest arrival window. If we’re slammed and can’t get there as fast as you need, we’ll tell you upfront instead of leaving you hanging. Most of the time, though, we’re there same-day—and we bring the parts and tools to fix the most common heating issues on the first visit.
It depends entirely on what’s broken. A simple fix like replacing a thermostat or a clogged filter might cost $150 to $300. A blower motor replacement could run $400 to $800. A cracked heat exchanger—which is a serious safety issue—might cost $1,200 to $2,000, and at that point, replacing the furnace often makes more financial sense.
We give you a clear quote before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees. If the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, we’ll have that conversation with you. Sometimes fixing an old furnace just delays the inevitable, and you’re better off investing in a new, energy-efficient unit that’ll last another 15 years.
What matters most is that you know exactly what you’re paying for and why. We’ve seen too many companies lowball an estimate to get in the door, then hit customers with add-ons and “unexpected” charges. That’s not how we operate. You’ll know the full cost before we touch your system.
Age is the first factor. If your furnace or heat pump is over 15 years old and needs a major repair, replacement usually makes more sense. Older systems are less efficient, more prone to breakdowns, and parts can be harder to find. You might fix it today and have another failure in six months.
Repair frequency matters too. If you’re calling for heating repair every year, you’re throwing money at a dying system. At some point, the cumulative cost of repairs exceeds the cost of a new furnace—and a new system will heat your home more efficiently and reliably.
Safety issues like cracked heat exchangers or persistent carbon monoxide problems aren’t worth repairing. Those are replace-it-now situations. Our technicians will walk you through the pros and cons of repair vs replacement based on your specific system, your budget, and how long you plan to stay in your home. We’re not here to sell you something you don’t need, but we’re also not going to let you keep dumping money into a furnace that’s on its last legs.
Yes. We work on gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, and dual-fuel systems. Most homes in San Antonio have either a gas furnace or a heat pump, but we’ve seen plenty of electric resistance heating and hybrid setups, especially in older or custom-built homes.
Heat pumps are common here because they handle both heating and cooling, which makes sense in a climate where you need AC far more often than heat. They’re efficient, but they have their own quirks—refrigerant issues, reversing valve failures, and defrost cycle problems that don’t show up in traditional furnaces.
If your home has a less common setup—like radiant floor heating, a boiler system, or a geothermal heat pump—we can handle that too. Our technicians have seen just about every type of residential heating system out there. If it heats your home and it’s broken, we’ll figure out what’s wrong and fix it.
The biggest issue we see is systems that fail at the start of winter because they’ve been sitting unused for months. Dust and debris settle on components, seals dry out, and parts that were marginal in the spring finally give out when you fire up the heat in November.
Thermostat problems are common too. Sometimes it’s user error—someone switched it to the wrong mode or the batteries died. Other times, the thermostat itself is faulty or poorly calibrated, so your furnace never gets the signal to turn on.
Ignition and pilot light issues come up a lot with gas furnaces. If the pilot won’t stay lit or the electronic ignition isn’t sparking, your furnace won’t heat. Blower motor failures are another frequent culprit, especially in systems that run constantly during San Antonio’s long cooling season. And clogged filters—probably the most preventable problem—restrict airflow and cause all kinds of downstream issues.
Hard water mineral buildup is a San Antonio-specific problem that affects heat pumps and evaporator coils. It reduces efficiency and can lead to compressor failure if it’s not addressed. Regular maintenance catches most of these issues before they turn into emergency repairs.
Yes. We warranty both parts and labor on every heating repair we complete. The length of the warranty depends on the specific part and the type of repair, but you’ll know exactly what’s covered before we start the work.
If something goes wrong with a repair we just completed, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional cost. That’s not a favor—that’s how it should work. You’re paying for a fix, not a temporary patch.
Manufacturer warranties on new parts vary. Some components come with a one-year warranty, others have five or ten years of coverage. If we install a part that fails within the warranty period, we’ll handle the claim and replacement. You shouldn’t have to chase down a manufacturer or pay twice for the same repair.
We also recommend annual maintenance to keep your heating system running efficiently and catch small problems before they become expensive ones. Regular maintenance doesn’t just extend the life of your furnace—it also protects your warranty coverage, since most manufacturers require proof of routine service if you ever need to file a claim.
