Texas can experience freezing temperatures during the winter. In fact, in 2021 Texas and other southern states endured record cold temperatures that tested the reliability and readiness of millions of home heating units across the state. While it may be awhile before we experience record low temperatures like that again, you may still face the need for a home heating repair.
A broken heater can occur at inconvenient times. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service without charging extra for emergency callouts. Our technicians are certified by the State of Texas and are licensed to work on all types of heaters.
When you determine that your home or business requires heater repair, you may be curious about what type of unit you have and if we can repair it. At Ahlers Heating and Air, we work on all types of heating systems typically found in the south.
A furnace style heating system uses forced air distribution to heat your home or business through a series of ducts and vents. Furnaces can be powered by a variety of heating sources, but are typically heated by either electricity or natural gas.
Heat pumps work differently than furnaces while still achieving the same end result. They use a combination of electricity and refrigerant to extract heat from the existing outside air. Heat pumps are generally more efficient than furnaces, however they work best where temperatures rarely drop below freezing.
Many homes and commercial buildings chose to have hybrid systems that offer the best attributes of both systems. The heat pump is used to efficiently heat the structure in milder temperatures, with the furnace available when outside temperatures are low enough that a heat pump would normally struggle to provide enough warmth.
A malfunctioning heating system can pose serious safety risks to your home or business. Apart from losing heat, a damaged heater could potentially leak carbon monoxide or start a fire, putting you and your loved ones in danger. To ensure the safety of your property, it's important to have your heating system regularly maintained and promptly repaired by certified professionals. At Ahlers Heating and Air, we provide expert heating services to keep you and your family safe and comfortable.
