Why Heating Quits When a Freeze Hits
Forney winters are mostly mild, so the heat sits idle for months. Then a blue norther sweeps in overnight, and the system runs for hours. Worn parts fail under that sudden load. That's why our phone rings hardest on the first cold nights of the year.
The usual culprits are an igniter that lights the burners, a dusty flame sensor or a weak capacitor that starts the blower. Lexany's Heating & AC has offered heating services in Forney since 2011. All three are common fixes for us, and most repairs wrap up in one visit.
Kaufman County averages that many nights at or below freezing, per NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals.
NOAA's Kaufman station logs slightly more heating demand than cooling demand each year.
An average year's deepest cold, when a heat pump leans hardest on its backup electric heat strips.

Heating Services for Every Furnace and Heat Pump
Homes around Forney heat with gas, propane or electric furnaces, heat pumps, or a dual-fuel pair of both. Our technicians repair, replace and tune up every one of them.
Furnace Repair
Burners won't light? Blower pushing cold air? Our furnace repair visit finds the failed part first, whether that's a cracked igniter, a sooty flame sensor or the control board.
Furnace Installation & Replacement
Every new gas, propane or electric furnace starts with a home visit. During furnace installation and replacement, we check the size, fuel and venting your house needs before you choose.
Furnace Maintenance
A fall furnace maintenance visit cleans the burners and flame sensor and tests the safety controls. We also check the heat exchanger for cracks, since it keeps exhaust out of your air.
Heat Pump Repair
A stuck reversing valve, the part that switches a heat pump into heating, can leave you cold. So can a failed defrost control. Heat pump repair finds which one quit.
Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
One outdoor unit handles winter heat and summer cooling. With heat pump installation and replacement, we pair it with the right indoor air handler and backup heat strips for even heat.
Heat Pump Maintenance
A heat pump runs most months of the year. So its tune-up covers both halves, from refrigerant and coils for cooling to the defrost cycle and backup heat for winter.
If a repair will hold, we finish it on that visit. When the system is worn out, we tell you plainly and quote a replacement as well. Homes on electric heat can turn to our electric furnace repair work, and rooms that stay chilly may need zoning.
What Do Heating Services Cost?
Each heating visit begins with one flat service call fee, and it covers tracking down the fault. Want a small fix handled while we're there? Then the diagnostic costs nothing. Every repair, big or small, gets its price before any work starts.
Planning a heating installation instead? The estimate on new heating equipment costs nothing, and Wells Fargo financing, subject to credit approval, can spread the cost over time. Either way, the number you approve is the number on your invoice.
Four Heating Systems Forney Homes Use
We Quote Every Heating System Your Home Can Run
Plenty of houses here could run more than one of these systems. So we lay out each option that fits your fuel supply, ductwork and budget, each with its own price, and the choice stays yours. Nobody on our team earns a commission for steering you toward a bigger system.
| System | How it makes heat | What it runs on | Works well when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gas or propane furnace | Burners warm a heat exchanger, and the blower pushes that warm air through your ducts | A natural gas line or a propane tank | You want strong, steady heat on the coldest nights |
| Electric furnace | Electric heating elements warm the air, with no burner or flue to maintain | Electricity only | The house has no gas service and you want a simple setup |
| Heat pump | Pulls heat from the outdoor air and moves it inside, then reverses to cool in summer | Electricity, with backup heat strips for hard freezes | You want one system for heating and cooling |
| Dual-fuel system | A heat pump handles mild days and a gas furnace takes over when it turns cold | Electricity plus natural gas or propane | You want heat pump efficiency with a furnace behind it |

Your Heating Service, Step by Step
Whether you need a repair, a new system or a tune-up, these four steps don't change.
1. Call or Book Heating Service Any Hour
Ring us or fill in the booking form whenever it suits you. Tell us what the heat is doing, and we'll set a time, often for that same day.
2. A Close Look at Your System
A NATE-certified technician checks the furnace or heat pump, finds the cause and shows you the worn or failed part. If you're replacing, we also measure up for the new system on this visit.
3. You Choose the Option
Each option comes with its price. Repair, replace or simply tune it up, the decision is yours, and work starts only after you give the go-ahead.
4. Heat On, House Checked
Once the work is done, the system runs through a full heating cycle. Then we check each room for warm air. Before we leave, you'll hear about anything worth watching before the next freeze.

Quick Answers on Heating Services in Forney
Will a gas furnace run during a power outage?
No, not by itself. A gas furnace still needs electricity for its igniter, control board and blower, so it shuts down when the power does. A generator can run one if an electrician connects it through a transfer switch. Never run a portable generator indoors or in the garage.
How old is too old for a furnace or heat pump?
ENERGY STAR suggests calling a contractor once a furnace passes 15 years or a heat pump passes 10. Age alone doesn't settle it, though. Repeat repairs, rising bills and a cracked heat exchanger are stronger signs that a replacement makes sense.
Should the thermostat fan be set to AUTO or ON in winter?
AUTO suits most homes. The blower runs only while the system is heating, so the air from the vents feels warm whenever it moves. ON keeps the blower going all day, which can feel drafty between cycles and uses more electricity, though it does pull more air through the filter.
Should you close vents in rooms nobody uses?
Closing one or two won't hurt most systems. Close too many, though, and air backs up in the ducts, leaks out at loose joints and can make a furnace overheat and shut itself off. If a room you do use stays cold, the ductwork feeding it is worth a look.
Can you heat a garage or bonus room the furnace doesn't reach?
Yes. A ductless mini-split heat pump warms one space without tying into your existing ducts, which suits a converted garage, a bonus room or an addition. If your current system has capacity to spare, extending a duct run can work too, and we'll check that on the visit.
