San Angelo Weather and HVAC Load
San Angelo logs 2,130 heating degree days and 2,785 cooling degree days in a normal year, based on the closest NOAA weather station. Neither season dominates in San Angelo. That balance is a big reason heat pumps and dual-fuel systems sell well in Texas. Count on roughly 49 nights below 32°F and 119 afternoons past 90°F in a typical year. Snowfall averages about 1 inches. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 40,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.

Symptoms Worth a Service Call
- A yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue one
- The thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens
- The burners light, then shut off a few seconds later
- Cold air coming out of the vents
- Banging, squealing or rattling from the furnace
What Moves the Price
- The diagnostic or service call fee
- Night, weekend or holiday rates
- The furnace's age and brand, which affect parts availability
- Which part failed: a flame sensor costs far less than a control board or blower motor
- Whether the part is still under the manufacturer warranty

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
- If the furnace is past 15, ask the tech to price both a repair and a replacement.
- Check the filter, the thermostat batteries and the breaker first. Those three cause a surprising number of no-heat calls.
- Ask whether the diagnostic fee comes off the repair bill.
