Heating and Furnace Repair in Fairview, TX

Fairview homes heat with gas, heat pumps or electric, depending on the house and the area. Here’s how to tell which you have and what to check when the heat stops.

No heat in Fairview? Start here

• Fuel type. Gas furnace, heat pump or electric heat?
• Thermostat. Heat mode, setpoint above room temperature.
• Filter.
• Power. If the whole house is dark, report the outage to your electric delivery company (it’s on your bill) before you call an HVAC company. Some systems wait before restarting after power returns, so give it a little time.
• Gas smell. If you smell gas, leave the house first, then call 911 and your gas utility from outside. Don’t touch the thermostat or light switches on the way out.

Still cold? Call 972-423-0012, 24/7.

Fairview homes and what their age means for your system

Fairview grew mostly in the 2000s, which built about 43% of its homes. The Census puts the median at 2006, and about 66% of homes are detached houses, from large-lot homes to newer neighborhoods.

The Census counts about 4,552 homes in Fairview. Here’s how they break down by decade built:

The house’s age doesn’t tell you the system’s age. The data plate on the outdoor unit does, and it’s the first thing we read.

Fairview’s permit application asks for both the electric and the gas provider, because homes here are served by different utilities depending on location, and some rural homes have no gas line at all. That’s why we confirm what fuel your heating runs on before we arrive: a gas furnace, a heat pump or electric heat each need different parts and checks. On propane or all-electric homes, the right repair and the right replacement are different from a gas home, and we tell you which applies in the written price.

Fairview permits for HVAC work

• Fairview offers remote virtual inspections for eligible HVAC work, including condenser change-outs, mini-split installs, split systems and mechanical ventilation.
• Mechanical contractors must register with the Town, naming the master license holder responsible for supervising all installations and repairs. Registration expires with the license, and if that license holder leaves, no further work may be done until a new one is registered.
• The Town of Fairview issues mechanical work on its Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Irrigation permit application, submitted by email to the Town’s permits office.
• Fairview has adopted the 2024 IMC and IRC. Town Hall: 372 Town Place, 972-562-0522; inspections 972-886-4250.

Dallas Heating and Air Conditioning is registered with the Town of Fairview as a mechanical contractor. For a replacement, we pull the permit and schedule the inspection.

Fairview inspections can be scheduled after hours or for emergencies on a case-by-case basis. Most heating repairs don’t need one, but if a furnace replacement can’t wait, we ask.

Refrigerant and efficiency rules that affect your decision

R-22. The EPA ended the manufacture of new R-22 equipment in 2010 and the production and import of R-22 itself on January 1, 2020. An R-22 system can keep running, but it can only be recharged with recovered or reclaimed R-22. A large leak on an R-22 unit is often the point where replacement makes more sense than repair.

SEER2. Since January 1, 2023, Department of Energy rules require new split-system central air conditioners installed in the Southeast region, which includes Texas, to meet at least 14.3 SEER2 under 45,000 Btu/h and 13.8 SEER2 at 45,000 Btu/h and up. New split heat pumps nationwide must meet 14.3 SEER2. See SEER vs. SEER2.

Heat pumps. A heat pump is also your air conditioner, so the same rules apply, and a failed heat pump can take out heating and cooling at once. See heat pump repair.
