In San Marcos, furnaces sit idle through a long cooling season. San Marcos is hot and noticeably humid. Winters are mild, with occasional freezes that still shut down neglected heat. The first cold week is when skipped fall maintenance shows up.
San Marcos has campus rentals, older houses, and newer subdivisions on the edges. River-corridor humidity means an oversized system can hit the setpoint and still leave the house damp. Rentals add deferred maintenance: filters, drains, and contactors that should have been replaced a year ago.

How we handle the job

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
You approve the part and the price. If replacement is the safer spend, you get that number too.

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.
