When your furnace quits during a Dallas cold snap, the first questions are always the same: what’s this going to cost, can you get here today, and will the fix actually hold? Most furnace repairs in Dallas run between $150 and $700, and we complete the large majority of them in a single visit. Dalton Heating & Air has provided Furnace Repair in Dallas since 2003 under The Garrison Standard, which means the price is in writing before any work starts, every repair carries a full-year written guarantee, and if the fix fails in that time, we return at no charge.

Styles & brands we work with
Furnace Maintenance
Furnace Maintenance is a scheduled inspection and cleaning service that keeps your heating system running efficiently through Dallas winters and catches small problems before they become $700 repairs. We recommend it once a year, ideally in early fall before the first cold front pushes through. Dalton Heating & Air Dallas performs a full maintenance visit for $80 – $200, depending on your system’s age and condition, and every visit ends with a written report of what we found.
What the Visit Includes
Our techs check gas pressure, test the igniter and flame sensor, inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, and measure temperature rise across the system. If we find a worn part, we quote the replacement in writing before touching it. You decide, not us.
Why Once a Year Matters
A furnace that runs clean burns less gas and fails less often. Dallas homes that skip annual maintenance tend to see failures on the coldest night of the year, because that’s when the system works hardest and the weak part finally gives. The $80 – $200 visit is cheaper than the emergency call it usually prevents.
Heat Pump Repair
Heat Pump Repair covers the diagnosis and replacement of failed components in a heat pump system, which Dallas homeowners rely on for both heating and cooling. When the reversing valve sticks or the defrost board fails, your heat pump may blow cold air in heating mode or freeze over in winter. Dalton Heating & Air Dallas repairs heat pumps from all major brands, with most jobs falling in the $150 – $650 range for repair work, comparable to our furnace repair pricing.
Common Heat Pump Failures We Fix
We replace failed capacitors, contactors, defrost sensors, and reversing valves. We also handle refrigerant recharge, which is topping off the cooling fluid your system needs to move heat. Low refrigerant in a heat pump typically means a leak, and we locate and seal it before refilling.
When to Call a Technician
If your heat pump runs constantly but won’t reach set temperature, or if the outdoor unit is coated in ice while the house stays cold, you need a pro. These symptoms rarely resolve on their own. A quick diagnostic visit costs less than the damage a failing compressor can cause when it runs starved.
Heating Repair
Heating Repair is the broad category of work we do on any system that generates heat for a Dallas home, from furnaces to heat pumps to ductwork-related heating issues. Most heating repairs in Dallas run $150 – $700 depending on the part and system type, and we give you the exact number in writing before any work begins. Dalton Heating & Air Dallas has provided Furnace Repair in Lancaster and repaired heating systems in this market since 2003, and the repair is guaranteed in writing for a full year.
Diagnosis Comes First
We don’t guess. Our techs carry digital manometers, combustion analyzers, and multimeters to test each component in the sequence of operation. The sequence of operation is simply the order of events that must happen for your heater to fire, and one failed step stops the whole chain. We find that step, quote it, and fix it.
What You Should Know Before We Arrive
Write down the symptom in as much detail as you can: what the thermostat reads, what the system does when it tries to start, and any sounds or smells. That background cuts diagnostic time and gets you an answer faster. You’ll also want to know the unit’s age and brand if possible.
Boiler Repair
Boiler Repair is specialized work on hydronic heating systems that circulate hot water or steam through radiators or baseboard heaters, and while boilers are less common in Dallas than furnaces, plenty of older homes in neighborhoods like Oak Cliff and University Park still run on them. Boiler repairs in Dallas typically run $150 – $700, though a failed circulator pump or expansion tank can push toward the upper end of that range. Dalton Heating & Air Dallas also offers our Furnace Repair in Hutchins and services residential boiler systems and quotes every repair in writing before starting.
Circulator Pumps and Expansion Tanks
The two most common boiler failures we see are circulator pump motors that stop moving hot water and expansion tanks that lose their air charge. Both are repairable, and both show warning signs first: gurgling pipes, cold spots in radiators, or pressure gauge readings that swing wild. Catching these early keeps a $300 repair from becoming a $700 one.
Why Boilers Need Specialized Attention
Boiler systems operate at pressure and temperature, and a cracked heat exchanger can release carbon monoxide into the house. If you smell a sweet or acrid odor near your boiler, or if you see rust or water staining, shut the system down and call us. This is a safety issue, not a comfort issue.
Gas Furnace Repair
Gas Furnace Repair focuses on the fuel, ignition, and exhaust components of a natural gas or propane furnace, which is the most common heating system type in Dallas homes. Most gas furnace repairs in Dallas run $150 – $700, with igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve failures being the three most frequent calls we field. Dalton Heating & Air Dallas factory-trains technicians to service Trane, Goodman, and Rheem gas furnaces, among others, and every repair gets a written price and a 365-day guarantee.
Igniter and Flame Sensor Failures
The hot surface igniter is a ceramic element that glows to light the gas. When it cracks, the furnace tries to start and then shuts down after a few seconds. The flame sensor confirms the burner actually lit. A dirty or failing sensor causes short cycling, where the system fires and cuts off repeatedly. Both parts are common, cheap, and fast to replace.
Gas Valve and Burner Issues
A failing gas valve may not open reliably, causing intermittent no-heat calls that are frustrating to diagnose without a pro. Burners that are misaligned or clogged produce uneven flame and soot, which shortens the life of the heat exchanger. If your furnace burns with a yellow or flickering flame instead of a steady blue, call us; a proper burn should be clean and stable.
Safety note: gas furnaces burn fuel and vent exhaust, and a cracked heat exchanger can put carbon monoxide into your living space. If you ever smell gas, leave the house and call your gas utility first, then call us for repair.
Furnace Tune Up
Furnace Tune Up is a preventative service visit that includes cleaning, testing, and minor adjustments to keep your furnace running through the Dallas heating season. A tune up costs $80 – $200 at Dalton Heating & Air Dallas, and it’s the cheapest insurance you can buy against a mid-January breakdown. We recommend scheduling it in October, before your furnace’s first long run of the season.
What a Tune Up Actually Covers
We replace or clean the air filter, test the igniter and flame sensor, check gas pressure and combustion, clean the burner assembly, inspect the heat exchanger, and measure temperature differentials. You get a written report of every reading and every condition we found, plus a written quote for any recommended repair. No pressure, no upsell.
Who Benefits Most from a Tune Up
Furnaces older than eight years, systems in homes with pets, and units that ran hard all summer in AC mode. Dallas dust is fine and gets into everything, and a clean burner runs measurably more efficiently. Homeowners who tune up yearly typically spend less on repairs over the life of the furnace than those who don’t.
Emergency Furnace Repair
Emergency Furnace Repair is same-day or next-day service for a heating system that has stopped working when you need it most, and Dallas winters are mild enough that any furnace failure feels urgent. Dalton Heating & Air Dallas answers calls with a live person 24/7 and dispatches technicians for emergency furnace repair across the city. Emergency repair pricing stays within our standard $150 – $700 range; there is no overnight surcharge and no overtime rate on top of the written quote.
What Counts as an Emergency
No heat on a freezing night, a burning smell from the vents, or a carbon monoxide detector going off. These are the calls that move to the front of the line. A furnace that’s making a noise but still heating can usually wait a day, but tell us the symptoms and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s urgent.
How We Handle the Dispatch
When you call, you get a real person, not a callback queue. They’ll ask what the furnace is doing, pull up your service history if you’re a repeat customer, and get a technician headed your way. Techs carry common parts on the truck: igniters, flame sensors, capacitors, pressure switches. Most emergency calls are resolved in one visit.

AfterBrands We Service
We service Trane furnaces and heat pumps daily in Dallas, and our techs know the brand’s specific failure patterns, like the pressure switch issues common on certain Trane 80 and 90 series units. We carry Trane-compatible parts on our trucks and install factory or equivalent replacements.
We also service Lennox and Goodman systems. Lennox units, especially the Elite and Signature lines, have specific diagnostic codes that vary by model year, and we keep the manufacturer documentation on hand to read them correctly. Goodman is one of the most common brands in Dallas homes because of its price point, and we’ve repaired thousands of them. The most frequent Goodman failures we see are control boards and igniters, both of which we stock.
Whether you have a Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, or any other make, we can help. Our factory training covers nine major residential HVAC brands, and the repair guarantee applies no matter what’s on the side of the cabinet.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Your furnace runs but blows cold air. The burner may not be lighting at all, or the gas valve may be failing to open. Either way, the system is consuming energy without producing heat, and continuing to run it can strain the blower motor and the control board.
- You hear a loud bang when the furnace starts. That’s a delayed ignition, where gas builds up before the igniter finally fires. It’s a telltale sign of a dirty burner or a failing igniter, and it should be addressed quickly; repeated delayed ignition can warp the heat exchanger.
- The furnace short cycles, turning on and off every few minutes. A dirty flame sensor is the usual cause, but it can also indicate an overheating condition or a failing thermostat. Short cycling wastes gas and puts extra wear on every component in the startup sequence.
- Your carbon monoxide detector is sounding. Turn off the furnace, ventilate the house, and call us immediately. A cracked heat exchanger or blocked flue can put exhaust gases into your living space, and this is not a problem to troubleshoot alone.
- Your energy bills spiked with no change in usage. A furnace that’s losing efficiency often runs longer to hit the same set temperature. The cause could be a dirty burner, a failing blower motor, or duct leaks, and a diagnostic visit is the fastest way to pin it down.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
You call, a person answers. Our Dallas dispatch is staffed by live people around the clock. We take your address, the symptoms, and your preferred time window, then confirm a technician and send their name and background check status before they arrive.
- 2
Diagnosis with written findings. The technician tests the furnace using digital manometers, multimeters, and combustion analyzers. You get a plain-language explanation of what’s wrong, what part failed, and what it costs to fix, all in writing before any work begins.
- 3
Repair with your approval. You approve the written quote, and we complete the repair. Most furnace repairs in Dallas finish in one visit because our trucks carry the most common parts: igniters, flame sensors, capacitors, pressure switches, and control boards.
- 4
Testing before we leave. We run the furnace through a full cycle and verify the fix. Temperature rise, gas pressure, and carbon monoxide output are all checked and recorded. You get a copy of the numbers. The furnace doesn’t just run; it runs right.
- 5
Written guarantee, no fine print. Every repair is guaranteed in writing for 365 days. If the same repair fails in that time, we return at no charge. That’s The Garrison Standard, and it’s been the rule at every Dalton location since 2003.
How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost in Dallas?
A typical furnace repair in Dallas runs $150 – $700 depending on the failed component. A flame sensor replacement, one of the cheapest repairs, falls in the $150 – $250 range. A hot surface igniter runs $200 – $350. A gas valve replacement, on the higher end, typically lands between $450 – $700 on most residential furnaces. A blower motor sits in the $350 – $650 range depending on whether it’s a standard motor or a variable-speed ECM model.
Three things move the price: the part itself, how long it takes to access and replace, and whether the furnace is a common model with readily available parts. Older or less common units may take longer to source components for, which is why we keep the most-failed parts stocked on our trucks.
To avoid overpaying, get the price in writing before the work starts, and ask whether the repair carries a written guarantee. A cheap repair with no guarantee is not cheap. Our free estimates include the diagnostic fee in most service-call scenarios, and you’ll always know the exact number before we turn a wrench.
