How to Spot the Early Signs of Furnace Failure - AC Repair & Heater Repair Services | Spring, TX

“I HIGHLY recommend them!”

The technicians at ACTexas gave me lots of options including modifying my old system (which was cheaper but just buying time). I opted to replace the entire system! My AC bills have been half what they were this time last year! They worked so hard and did an amazing job! They were very honest about the cost (no hidden fees). Angela W.

I had an excellent experience with James. He is solid guy whom you can tell loves his work. Not only did he assist me with repairing my AC...on a Sunday. He gave me priceless knowledge and he wasn't even scheduled to work. I pray this work ethic stays around for years to come. Workers like James are very hard to find. He should definitely be rewarded for all his hard work. Matthew T.

Dispatcher was able to get me same day service when my air conditioning unit stopped working. Justin conducted the repair and was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and honest about the issue. I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell me services or equipment that was not needed. The prices were very reasonable - especially since we had the repair conducted same day! I would highly recommend this company and will be using them for all future maintenance and repairs! Tricia T.

Mickey is great! He is very knowledgeable and professional and does a great job. He always texts me to let me know when he'll arrive and explains everything he's doing. He's earned our trust and we are very happy with his service. Jet E

Came out quickly and diagnosed the issue, showed me what was wrong and completed the fix. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing service. A Robinson

Working with ACTexas was a great experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend them for any HVAC work that you may need from brand new install, repair, maintenance, or just an evaluation of your current HVAC system. They have great knowledge, experience, work ethic and customer service. Ramil M

How to Spot the Early Signs of Furnace Failure

Furnace Repair

There is never a good time for your furnace to fail, and understanding the warning signs of a failing furnace can help you determine when it is time to have an expert perform a diagnosis on conduct any necessary furnace repair tasks.

If the furnace runs constantly, there might be a problem with the thermostat, or there could be a poor air seal. If the thermostat is in good working order and it is set on “auto” and not “fan,” it’s likely that the furnace is in need of attention.

If you notice a pungent odor when the furnace is running, it is possible that your furnace is trying to tell you something. We all know the smell a furnace can produce when it is turned on after a long summer. This smell usually dissipates within a couple of hours. If the smell continues, be sure to check your air filter.

Anytime you have an appliance that is powered by gas, it is possible to have a carbon monoxide problem. It is crucial to have one or more carbon monoxide detectors in your home to protect you and your family. If the carbon monoxide detector goes off, you need to do two things. First, get out of the house immediately and be sure to take your pets. After you’re in a safe area, you will need to call a heating and cooling expert to examine the cause of the carbon monoxide leak. As furnaces age, they are prone to producing carbon monoxide.

Other signs of furnace failure include loud banging noises from the furnace. Furnaces should be relatively quiet while running, and if yours is becoming increasingly loud, you should make sure to have it examined.

Finally, unusually high utility bills might suggest that your furnace is no longer running efficiently. This can be somewhat difficult to detect because utility bills tend to rise during the colder months. If your gas bill is extremely higher than usual, perhaps your furnace is trying to tell you something.
