Symptoms Worth a Service Call

  • The blower won't stop running
  • A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
  • The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later
  • Cold air coming out of the vents

What Moves the Price

  • Which part failed: a flame sensor costs far less than a control board or blower motor
  • The diagnostic or service call fee
  • The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability
  • Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty
  • Night, weekend or holiday rates

Texas Licensing and Efficiency Rules

Texas is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Texas license or registration number before the visit.

Before You Hire

  • Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
  • Have the model and serial number from the furnace label handy. Parts get ordered faster.
  • If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
