FAQs

Answers to Your Heating Repair Questions

Yes. Our team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for emergency heating repairs across Lafayette and Acadiana. A cold house isn’t something we make you wait on, whether it’s the middle of the night or a weekend.

This is often caused by a tripped breaker, a dead thermostat battery, a clogged filter restricting airflow, or an ignition system failure. Checking your thermostat settings and breaker panel first can rule out the simplest causes. If those check out, the issue likely requires a technician to diagnose the ignition system, flame sensor, or control board.

A heat pump that runs constantly without heating effectively is often low on refrigerant, has a failing reversing valve, or is dealing with a frozen outdoor coil that’s stuck in defrost mode. Since heat pumps rely on transferring heat rather than generating it directly, even a small mechanical issue can significantly reduce how well the system warms your home.

Cost depends on the issue, whether you have a furnace or heat pump, and the age of your system. We provide a free, no-obligation estimate after diagnosing the problem, so you’ll know the exact price before any work begins. For larger repairs, we also offer financing options to help spread out the cost.

The same rule of thumb used for AC systems applies to heating: multiply your system’s age by the repair cost, and if that number exceeds roughly $5,000, replacement is usually the better financial choice.

Systems over 10 to 15 years old also tend to run less efficiently, so a repair on an aging system may only be a short-term fix; these are cases where heating replacement may be a better fit. Our technicians will walk you through the honest math for your specific system.

Turn off your furnace immediately, leave any gas valves alone, and evacuate the house. Don’t turn on lights, use your phone inside, or do anything that could create a spark. Once you’re safely outside, call your gas utility company’s emergency line and then reach out to us. This is one situation where safety always comes first, and it’s one of the reasons we’re available 24 hours a day for emergency calls.
