Did you know?
Florida had fewer than 300,000 residents in 1900. Today it has over 22 million. The entire state as most people know it, the theme parks, the retirees, the sprawl, is essentially an air conditioning project.
You ask.
Holland answers.
Common causes include a tripped circuit breaker, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a failed ignitor or pilot light on a gas furnace, low refrigerant or a frozen coil on a heat pump, or a faulty thermostat not sending the signal to run. In Garland homes with heat pumps, the system may also switch into emergency heat mode during a cold snap if outdoor temperatures drop below what the heat pump can efficiently handle.
Call Holland AC and Heating for 24/7 emergency heating repair. While waiting, keep interior doors closed to retain heat in occupied rooms and use space heaters if available. Do not use gas ovens or stoves to heat your home. Carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless, can reach dangerous levels indoors when combustion appliances are run for heat in a closed space.
Heating repair costs in Garland vary by system type and the component that failed. Thermostat replacement is typically $150-$300. Ignitor replacement on a gas furnace runs $200-$400. Heat pump repairs involving refrigerant or reversing valve issues can range from $300-$1,000 or more. Holland AC and Heating provides free estimates and upfront pricing before any repair begins.
For most Garland winters, a heat pump is efficient and sufficient since North Texas winters are mild with only occasional hard freezes. However, heat pumps lose efficiency when outdoor temperatures drop below around 35-40 degrees, which Garland experiences during cold snaps. Many Garland homes use a dual-fuel system, which pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace backup that activates automatically when temperatures fall too low for the heat pump to keep up.
Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 pushed temperatures well below freezing for days, exposing a widespread problem: heat pumps across Garland and the DFW area were not equipped with adequate supplemental heat to handle sustained freezes. Systems ran continuously, froze up, or failed entirely. Homeowners with dual-fuel systems or electric heat strips as backup fared significantly better. Holland AC and Heating can evaluate whether your heating setup is prepared for a similar event.
Warning signs include the system not reaching the set temperature, short-cycling on and off, unusual banging or rattling noises, a pilot light that keeps going out on a gas furnace, uneven heat distribution across rooms, or a sudden increase in gas or electric bills without any changes to your normal usage. Systems over 15 years old showing any of these signs should be evaluated before the next cold season.
Heating systems in the Garland area should be professionally serviced once per year, typically in early fall before cold weather arrives. A standard heating tune-up includes inspecting the heat exchanger on gas furnaces, checking refrigerant and defrost cycles on heat pumps, testing electrical connections, and verifying thermostat calibration. North Texas cold snaps arrive quickly and without much warning, and an unserviced system is far more likely to fail under sudden load.
Heat pumps are refrigerant-based systems that operate year-round for both heating and cooling. Repairs typically involve refrigerant, reversing valves, defrost boards, or coil issues. Gas furnace repairs center on combustion components including igniters, flame sensors, heat exchangers, and gas valves. Holland AC and Heating handles both heat pump and furnace repair throughout Garland and surrounding areas including Rowlett, Sachse, and Richardson.
Gas furnaces typically last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. Heat pumps in North Texas often have a shorter effective lifespan because they run year-round for both heating and cooling, accumulating wear faster than heating-only systems in colder climates. Garland homes with systems over 15 years old should have them professionally evaluated before the next heating season.
