Gas Furnace or Electric Heat: What Fort Worth Homes Use

Most Fort Worth homes do not heat with gas. Census figures for 2020 to 2024 show electricity heating about 68 percent of the city’s occupied homes, through heat pumps, electric furnaces and other electric heat, and utility gas heating about 30 percent. We repair all of them, and the first few minutes of a visit tell us which kind of problem we are dealing with:

  • Gas furnaces add the ignition parts to the list: the ignitor, the flame sensor or the pilot.
  • Electric furnaces depend on heating elements, relays and the blower.
  • Heat pumps do the heating and the cooling from one outdoor unit, so a fault in winter can be the same part that cools the house in summer. Our page on heat pump repair and installation covers them in more detail.

Heating Problems We Fix

No heat, or the system will not turn on

Check that the thermostat is set to heat and the breaker is on. If it still will not start, call us rather than cycling the power.

Cold air or weak airflow from the vents

A clogged filter, a blower fault or an ignition problem can all leave the fan running with no heat behind it.

Short cycling

A furnace that turns on and off every few minutes is wearing itself out and not warming the house. It is often a limit switch or airflow problem.

Ignitor, flame sensor or pilot problems

Any of these can stop a gas furnace from lighting, and our trucks carry the common parts.

Blower motor failures and strange noises

Squealing, grinding or banging means something mechanical needs attention before it fails outright.

Thermostat issues and uneven heating

Rooms that never warm up, or a thermostat that does not match the room, can be the thermostat, the ductwork or the system itself.

How a Heating Repair Visit Runs

The technician starts at the thermostat and works back to the equipment, because some no-heat calls turn out to be a setting, a tripped breaker or a clogged filter. From there it is a full diagnostic of the furnace or heat pump. You get one flat price for the repair before any work starts, and nothing is done until you approve it. Because every heating repair we do includes a safety check, the visit ends with the system running, the safety check complete and a plain explanation of what failed and why. If the equipment is near the end of its life, we tell you that too, and price a repair against a replacement so the choice is yours.

Gas Smells and Carbon Monoxide

A gas furnace that is not working right is more than a comfort problem. A cracked heat exchanger or bad venting can leak carbon monoxide, which Atmos Energy describes as odorless, colorless and tasteless. MedlinePlus lists its most common symptoms as headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion, which are easy to mistake for the flu.

If you smell gas: leave the home right away, do not flip switches, and call 911 and Atmos Energy at 866-322-8667 from outside, as Atmos Energy’s safety guidance advises. Then call us. We will inspect and repair the system safely.

If your carbon monoxide alarm sounds or someone feels dizzy or sick, get everyone outside and call 911. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Atmos recommend a carbon monoxide alarm in the home, and Atmos notes it does not replace looking after the appliances that can produce the gas.

Who Owns the Gas Line to Your Furnace

Atmos Energy maintains the gas system up to its meter. From the meter on, the piping to your furnace, water heater and any other gas appliance belongs to you, and Atmos says buried customer piping should be checked periodically for leaks. If we find a problem on your side of the meter during a heating repair, we will show you and quote the fix.

Keep the Heat From Failing Next Winter

  • Yearly service. Atmos Energy recommends having a trained professional inspect, clean and tune up a central heating system every year. Gold Star Membership includes annual tune-ups and safety inspections, plus 15% off repairs.
  • Filters. ENERGY STAR advises checking the filter monthly; a dirty one restricts airflow and can shut a furnace down on its own safety switch.
  • Strange smells on the first cold night. A brief burning-dust smell is common; a smell that lingers is not. Our post on why a heater smells like it is burning explains the difference.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Leave the home immediately and do not flip any switches. From outside, call 911 and Atmos Energy at 866-322-8667. Once the gas company says it is safe, call us and we will inspect and repair the furnace.

Yes. About two in three Fort Worth homes heat with electricity, through heat pumps, electric furnaces and other electric heat, and we repair those as well as gas furnaces.

Once a year. Atmos Energy recommends having a professional inspect, clean and tune up a central heating system annually, ideally before the first cold front. Gold Star Membership includes it.

Carbon monoxide has no smell or color. People exposed to it often have a headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain or confusion. If an alarm sounds or anyone feels that way, get everyone outside and call 911.

We diagnose the problem first and then give you one flat price. You approve it before any work starts. A thermostat or ignitor costs far less than a blower motor or heat exchanger.
