Heating FAQs
A light burning smell the first time you run your heater each fall is usually just dust burning off the heat exchanger or heat strips after months of sitting unused. It should fade within an hour or so. If the smell is strong, smells electrical, or doesn’t go away, turn the system off and call Centex Air & Heat at 512-303-6060.
Emergency Heat switches your system to its backup electric heat strips and turns off the heat pump. It’s meant for when the heat pump itself isn’t working, not for everyday use, because it costs much more to run. If you find yourself needing Emergency Heat, it’s a good sign your heat pump needs a repair.
Both can work well here. Heat pumps are very efficient in our mild Central Texas winters and also cool your home in summer. Gas furnaces put out stronger heat during hard freezes. Some homeowners choose a dual-fuel system, which pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace for the best of both. Our team can help you decide what fits your home and budget.
A loud bang when your furnace starts can mean gas is building up before it lights, which should be checked right away. Squealing often points to a worn blower motor or belt, and rattling can mean a loose panel or part. If your heater makes a new or loud noise, turn it off and give us a call so a technician can find the cause.
Early fall is the best time, before the first cold snap arrives. Central Texas usually cools down in November, and a tune-up before then helps catch small problems early, so your heater is ready when you need it. Our maintenance plans include regular tune-ups so you never have to remember.
Yes. Every home with a gas furnace, gas water heater, or attached garage should have working carbon monoxide detectors, especially near bedrooms. A yearly furnace inspection also helps, because our technicians check the heat exchanger and venting for cracks or leaks that could let carbon monoxide into your home.
Schedule a tune-up before cold weather hits, replace your air filter, and make sure your outdoor heat pump unit is clear of leaves and debris. Keep your thermostat at a steady temperature during a freeze, and know where your system’s breaker and shutoff are. If your heat goes out during a storm, call us at 512-303-6060. After-hours service is available.
