In Dripping Springs, furnaces sit idle through a long cooling season. Days are hot and nights can drop harder than in central Austin. A heat pump has to be set up for both. The first cold week is when skipped fall maintenance shows up.
Dripping Springs is larger-lot Hill Country housing, much of it all-electric. Belterra, Caliterra, and Headwaters have real square footage, long duct runs, and heat pumps that carry both seasons. Downtown is smaller and older. A gas-furnace recommendation copied from Dallas is often the wrong starting point here.

How we handle the job
01Make it fail where we can see it
We run a call for heat and watch where the sequence stops.

Sensors and igniters are repairs. Heat exchanger and venting problems can mean the furnace should not run.
03Quote before replacing parts

Dirty flame sensors, failed igniters, tripped limits from a blocked filter, and clogged condensate drains on high-efficiency furnaces. They still need to be diagnosed, because the same symptom can be a worse fault.
Yes. Plenty of Greater Austin homes still have gas furnaces, and dual-fuel systems use both a heat pump and a furnace. We repair the equipment that is in the house.
If you smell gas, see soot, or the unit is overheating, shut it off. If it is simply starting and stopping, leave it off until a technician can watch the sequence rather than resetting it all night.
