Diagnostic and repair services for heat pumps, package units, and gas furnaces.
Call For Service: (737) 282-0678When you wake up to a freezing house in Elgin, the exact configuration of your heating equipment dictates the diagnostic path we take. Some homes run standard natural gas split-system furnaces, while others in rural Bastrop County rely on electric heat pumps with backup resistive heat strips. Heating repair requires a deep understanding of these distinct architectures. Our technicians carry the testing equipment required to troubleshoot complex defrost control boards on heat pumps, sequencer relays for electric furnaces, and draft inducer assemblies for gas-fired units, ensuring an accurate diagnosis on the first visit.
Misdiagnosing heating systems costs homeowners heavily. A technician who does not understand heat pump reversing valves might condemn an entire compressor when the system is actually just stuck in cooling mode due to a faulty $50 solenoid coil.
If your outdoor fan stops spinning but the compressor is running, and you see steam rising from the unit, it is in defrost mode. If it stays in this mode for hours, the defrost control board or sensor has failed. Call (737) 282-0678.
Skip the forms and wait times. Speak directly with an Elgin HVAC specialist to troubleshoot your system or schedule immediate dispatch.
Each service call includes a thorough multi-point inspection to find and fix the root cause:
Verify 24v signal from the thermostat to the heating terminals (W1/W2/O/B)
Test continuity on heat strip limit switches and fusible links
Check reversing valve solenoid voltage and magnetic pull
Inspect defrost thermistor resistance values on heat pumps

Call (737) 282-0678This happens if the heat pump has failed and the system is relying solely on expensive electric backup strips, or if the thermostat is wired incorrectly.
A cracked heat exchanger cannot be safely repaired or welded; the entire part must be replaced to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
Modern heat pumps remain highly efficient down to around 30 degrees. Below that, they will automatically engage auxiliary heat to maintain indoor comfort.
If it lasts a few minutes, it is just dust burning off. If it smells like melting wire or plastic, shut it off immediately and call for emergency heating repair.
Check your outdoor unit in the winter. If the outdoor fan and compressor turn on to heat the house, you have a heat pump. If only the indoor unit runs and you have a gas pipe connected to it, it is a furnace.
