Heating and Furnace Repair in Farmersville, TX

In Farmersville, heating can be a gas furnace, a heat pump, electric heat or propane, depending on the home. Here’s what to check first, and when to get out of the house.

Farmersville heating trouble: what to check

• Thermostat. Heat mode.
• 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 or propane 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.
• What heats your home? Gas, propane, heat pump or electric.

Still cold? Call 972-423-0012.

Farmersville homes and what their age means for your system

Farmersville is a small town with an old core and new growth at the edges. The Census estimates about 37% of homes were built before 1960 and about 27% since 2010, with a median of 1980. Nearly all homes are detached houses. (Census estimates for a town this size have wide margins of error, so treat these as approximate.)

The Census counts about 1,671 homes in Farmersville. 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.

Older Farmersville homes may heat with a gas furnace, a heat pump, or electric heat added during a remodel, and some rural homes outside town run on propane. Each has different safety checks. On gas or propane furnaces, we look at the vent, the flame and the connector first; on heat pumps, the defrost controls and auxiliary heat. In older houses where the heating was converted, we also check that the electrical service can support electric heat strips before recommending them.

Farmersville permits for HVAC work

• Licensed contractors must register with the City before a permit can be issued. Registration has no fee, and the City publishes a list of approved contractors.
• The City of Farmersville has a specific HVAC Unit/Mechanical Permit, applied for through its building permit portal.
• Building, Permitting and Inspections: 205 S. Main Street, 972-782-6151.
• Inspections are requested through OpenGov. The City doesn’t do inspections the day they’re requested; requests for the next day must be in by 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday, or 10:30 a.m. Friday.

Propane furnaces need different settings and parts from natural gas furnaces. If your Farmersville home runs on propane, tell us when you call so we bring the right parts.

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.
