Heating
Every kind of heater, answered at any hour
Heater checks, repair, installation, furnaces, ductless heating and heat pumps, all handled by the same team that answers the phone at two in the morning.
One page, six kinds of heat
Houston's winters are short, but a house that has stopped heating does not care how short the season is. We offer emergency service, are available 24/7, and service and repair all types of heaters. Installers are highly trained and receive periodic specialized training, whether the job is a same-day repair or a full furnace installation.
Where a heat pump fits in
Heat pumps do double duty, heating and cooling from the same outdoor unit, and they work extremely well in a climate like ours with high humidity and short winters. There are three kinds, air-source, water-source and geothermal, and the right one depends on the site as much as the budget.

Heating, in full
What's on this page
Heater checks
A look at the system before it has to work, so a hard start or a short cycle gets caught while it is still an easy fix.
Heater repair
We offer emergency service, are available 24/7, and service and repair all types of heaters, not just the brand that happens to be installed.
Heater installation
Sizing the unit to the space comes first. Installers are highly trained and go through periodic specialized training rather than a one-time certificate.
Furnaces
Gas and electric furnace service and installation, checked the same way as every other heater on this list.
Ductless heating
For room additions, garages, multifamily buildings and commercial spaces where running new ductwork is not the practical answer.
Heat pumps
One outdoor unit doing double duty, heating in the winter and cooling in the summer, covered in more detail below.
Three kinds of heat pump, one outdoor unit doing two jobs
A heat pump earns its keep by running both directions. In a climate with high humidity and short falls, winters and springs, that trade makes more sense than it does further north, though the type of unit still matters.
Air-source
Pulls heat out of the outdoor air. It works extremely well in a Houston winter, which is short and rarely severe, but efficiency drops once the outdoor air falls below 32 degrees.
Water-source
Moves heat through a water loop instead of outdoor air, a fit for the right site conditions rather than a default choice.
Geothermal
Uses the ground itself as the heat source, the most involved of the three to install and the most stable once it is in.
Below 32 degrees outside, an air-source unit has less heat to pull from the air and works harder to hold the same temperature. Houston rarely stays that cold for long, which is exactly why the trade-off usually pays for itself here.
