Furnace Repair Carrollton Texas

Carrollton’s natural gas furnaces are an essential part of central heating and air conditioning systems. In the south, central heating and air conditioning, installed and repaired by Frost Brothers Heating and Air, is a must have for any home or office. It has the ability to circulate the heating or cooling around the entire home or business within a short time frame.

When something happens to your Carrollton furnace or heat pump, the cold can be unbearable, especially on a cold winter night in the south. Building a fire in the fire place helps a little, but it can only do so much. Unfortunately, furnace problems do happen and when it does happen, the repairs can be excessively expensive. Frost Brothers has crews on call nights and weekends to respond to your Carrollton furnace repair needs.

How a Furnace Works

Your Carrollton furnace intakes cold air and cleans it via an air filter. After the air is cleaned, it is heated by a gas burner and distributed through the duct work. When the air is distributed and circulated, it is then travels through the air filter back to the furnace. The fuel source for a furnace commonly is either natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Modern condensing furnaces include a condensing pump that removes extra water and can be up to 35% more efficient than a regular furnace. Look for a high AFUE rating, as high as 96%.

Furnace Filter Importance

A Carrollton furnace filter stops impurities from circulating throughout the air within the home or building. It also helps to maintain and protect the coil as well as the fan. It is important to keep the filters cleaned and replaced because if they are too filthy the clean air will not be able to circulate properly. The furnace will have to use more energy to try to push air through the filter. Bacteria and mold will be able to accumulate easier with a dirty filter as well.

Should You Repair or Replace an Old Carrollton Furnace?

The decision to repair or replace an old furnace filter can depend on several factors. You should tap into the experience of our Frost Brothers Carrollton furnace repair team before making a decision. When the repair costs are exceeding the efficiency savings, then it may be time to replace the unit. If the amount of time that vested in the new unit will be less than five to eight years, a repair should probably be considered versus a new purchase. However, a benefit of a newer furnace is that they have built in efficiency savings within the unit.

Two Stage and Variable Speed Furnace

Both types help to improve efficiency. A two stage furnace operates more on a lower setting for the most part of an operating cycle and burns less fuel. The variable speed furnace increases air filtration and controls the temperature at a preset comfort level by the room throughout the day. Frost Brothers can show you HVAC equipment that is both energy efficient and qualifies for Federal Tax Credits, utility rebates and Texas sales tax credits.
