AC Repair FAQs

  • Why is my heat pump blowing cool air in heating mode?

    A heat pump may blow cool air if it is in defrost mode, if the outdoor coil is iced over, or if the reversing valve or auxiliary heat strip has failed. Dirty air filters can also restrict airflow and prevent the system from heating efficiently.   

  • How often should my home heating system be serviced?

    Heating systems should receive a professional tune-up once a year, ideally in early autumn before cold weather sets in. Annual checks ensure burner cleanliness, proper electrical ignition, and safe heat exchanger operation.   

  • What causes a furnace to blow cold air?

    Furnaces blow cold air when the flame sensor is dirty, the hot surface igniter fails, the gas valve is shut, or safety limit switches open due to overheating from a clogged air filter.   

  • Is a burning smell normal when turning on my heater for the first time in winter?

    A mild burning dust smell during the first run of the season is normal as accumulated dust on heat strips or burners burns off. If the smell persists, smells like electrical burning, or triggers smoke alarms, turn off the system and schedule an inspection.   

  • What should I do if my outdoor heat pump unit freezes over?

    During cold weather, heat pumps periodically enter a defrost cycle to melt thin frost. However, if the unit is encased in thick ice for hours, a faulty defrost control board, low refrigerant, or fan motor failure is likely present and requires professional repair.   

  • How long do residential heat pumps and furnaces usually last in Texas?

    With regular annual maintenance, heat pumps and furnaces in Central Texas typically last 12 to 15 years. Proper maintenance extends equipment life and maintains energy efficiency over time.
