When your heating system isn’t working properly, deciding between repair and replacement depends on several factors including age, condition, and efficiency. Repairs are often more affordable for newer systems or minor issues, providing immediate comfort restoration without a major investment.
However, if your heater is over 10-15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or struggles to heat your Houston home efficiently, replacement may be the smarter long-term choice. A new, energy-efficient system can lower your utility bills and provide more reliable performance, saving you money and hassle over time.
Consulting with our heating professionals helps you make the best decision for your home and budget. We’ll provide a transparent assessment of your current system’s condition and honest recommendations about whether repair or replacement offers better value in your specific situation.

Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning meets all these criteria, plus we guarantee our work and arrive with fully-stocked service vehicles to complete most Houston heating repairs in a single visit. Our technicians undergo continuous training on all heating system types common in Houston homes, ensuring they can diagnose and resolve your specific issue quickly.
Watch for these clear indicators: unusual noises (banging, whistling, grinding), insufficient heating, frequent cycling on and off, unexplained increases in energy bills, yellow pilot light flame (should be blue), uneven heating with cold spots, system not responding to thermostat adjustments, strange odors (especially burning smells), or visible damage to components. During Houston’s unpredictable winter weather, addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent complete system failure during a cold snap when you need heating most.
Due to Houston’s unique climate patterns, we frequently address these issues: dirty filters causing airflow restrictions, ignition problems after long periods of disuse, thermostat malfunctions, blower motor failures, heat exchanger cracks (especially in older systems), electrical connection issues, unusual noises from loose components, and pilot light or electronic ignition failures. Our Houston heating repair specialists are equipped to diagnose and fix these issues quickly, often during the first visit, to restore your comfort with minimal disruption.
A burning odor when first starting your heater after months of disuse is typically dust burning off heating elements—normal and temporary. However, persistent burning smells could indicate serious issues like overheating components, electrical problems, or clogged filters. If the smell resembles burning plastic, it might be wiring insulation, while a rotten egg smell suggests a potentially dangerous gas leak requiring immediate attention. Luke’s Plumbing & Air Conditioning provides emergency Houston heating repair services for concerning odors that could indicate safety hazards.
Several issues could cause this in Houston homes: thermostat set incorrectly (check heat/cool setting), dirty air filters restricting airflow, pilot light or ignition failure, flame sensor problems, overheating causing safety shutdowns, or ductwork leaks. For heat pumps common in Houston, this might indicate refrigerant leaks, defrost cycle operation, or compressor issues. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the specific cause and implement the right solution to restore warm air throughout your home, typically on the same day you call.
Continuous operation often indicates your system is struggling to reach the desired temperature due to: undersized equipment for your home, dirty filters restricting airflow, thermostat problems (location or calibration), leaky ductwork allowing heat escape, inadequate insulation (especially important in older Houston homes), or a failing component. This issue wastes energy and stresses your system, potentially leading to premature failure. Luke’s heating repair technicians can perform a comprehensive system evaluation to identify and resolve the underlying cause, improving both comfort and efficiency.
