Heater not working? Check these five things first

Most no-heat calls start with the same quick check. It takes about five minutes and needs no tools.

  1. Thermostat. Set it to Heat, with the temperature a few degrees above the room. Replace the batteries if it uses them.

  2. Breaker. Find the breakers for the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Flip a tripped one fully off, then on, once. If it trips again, stop and call us.

  3. Filter. A clogged filter can shut a system down. Swap it if it looks gray and packed.

  4. Service switch and panel. Near the indoor unit there's usually a switch that looks like a light switch. Make sure it's on and the panel door is closed all the way.

  5. Wait a few minutes. Many systems run a start-up sequence before heat comes out.

Still cold? Call us. If you smell gas or a carbon monoxide alarm is going off, see the safety box below. When your heat stops working, you need a team that can find the problem fast and fix it the right way. At Real Texas Plumbing - Heating and Air, we provide dependable heating repair for homes and businesses in Lago Vista and the greater Austin area. We work on many types of heating systems, including furnaces, heat pumps, central heating systems, and units with weak airflow, uneven heating, strange noises, or no heat at all.

Safety first: when to stop and call

  • Smell gas? Leave the house, then call your gas provider or 911 from outside. Don't flip switches.

  • Carbon monoxide alarm going off? Get everyone outside and call 911.

  • Burning smell from wiring or a scorched panel? Turn the system off at the breaker and call us.

  • Please don't bypass a safety switch, relight a gas pilot you're unsure about, or heat the house with an oven, grill or unvented heater. Those can cause carbon monoxide or a fire.

How a heating repair visit works

  1. You call and tell us what you're seeing. Symptoms help us arrive with the right parts.

  2. We find the real cause. We check power, the thermostat, airflow, ignition or heat strips, the blower, and the safety controls, and test each one. No guessing.

  3. You get the options and the price before we start. We explain what failed in plain English. You decide.

  4. We fix it and test it. We run the system through a full heat cycle, check the airflow, clean up, and answer your questions.

What does heating repair cost in Lago Vista?

You'll know the cost before we do any repair. Our trip charge is $65, and we apply it toward the work when you schedule the repair. After we diagnose the problem, we give you the repair price. If a repair isn't worth the money, we'll tell you.

What moves the price: which part failed (a small electrical part costs far less than a motor or control board), the type and age of the system, how hard the unit is to reach, and whether the part is in stock.

Repair or replace your heater?

A rule of thumb: once a system is past about 12 to 15 years old, repairs get more likely and more expensive. Ask yourself four things.

  • How old is the system?

  • Have you paid for repairs more than once in the last two years?

  • Is this repair a big share of what a new system would cost?

  • Is the problem a safety issue, like a cracked heat exchanger?

If most answers point the wrong way, we'll walk you through replacement with no pressure. Already have a replacement quote that doesn't feel right? We're glad to give a second opinion on the repair.

Heating systems we repair

We repair heat pumps, electric and propane furnaces, and ductless mini-splits. Heat pumps are common in Lago Vista homes, so we don't treat every heating problem like a gas furnace problem.

Heat pump tip: the "Emergency Heat" or "Aux" setting turns on electric heat strips when the heat pump can't keep up. It works, but it costs more to run. If your system is stuck on emergency heat, call us.

Heating repair for Lago Vista lake and weekend homes

A lot of Lago Vista homes sit empty for stretches, and the area has seen hard freezes. If you leave a house cold, a smart thermostat can alert your phone if the temperature drops too low, so you hear about a problem from the app instead of a neighbor. If you come back to a house with no heat, call us and tell us how long it sat.
