Cracked Heat Exchanger: Safety First
A cracked heat exchanger means combustion gases — including carbon monoxide — can leak into your home's air supply. We NEVER repair a cracked heat exchanger. The only safe fix is a full furnace replacement. If I find a crack during diagnostic, I red-tag the unit on the spot and show you our three replacement tiers. Learn more about CO safety at the EPA.

Join Frosty ClubWhat Are the Most Common Heating Problems in Haltom City?
Texas winters are mild, but furnaces still need regular service — and when they fail on a 28°F January morning, they tend to fail all at once. Here's what I see most often on Haltom Cityheating calls, and what each one typically costs to fix.
Furnace won't ignite
Failed hot-surface ignitor ($400) or coated flame sensor ($400). Both are same-day fixes. The $85 diagnostic identifies the exact cause.
Blowing cold air instead of hot
Usually a failed ignitor, bad flame sensor, or a stuck gas valve. We run a combustion analysis to confirm the exact cause before quoting.
Loud buzzing or grinding
Dying inducer motor ($500-$1,300) — the draft fan pulling combustion gases through the heat exchanger. Replace before it takes out the control board.
Short cycling (on/off/on/off)
Dirty flame sensor, failing limit switch, or restricted airflow. Can be an early warning of a heat exchanger issue — we diagnose carefully.
Gas smell or CO alarm
EMERGENCY — leave the house, call Atmos Energy at 866-322-8667, then call us. We locate the leak source and repair or red-tag as required.
Cracked heat exchanger
Carbon monoxide risk — NEVER repaired. Full furnace replacement required for safety. We confirm with combustion analyzer and bore-scope inspection.
Why Haltom CityHomeowners Trust Frosty's for Heating Repair
Haltom City sees 20-30 freeze nights a year and the occasional multi-day hard freeze, and that's plenty of cold to expose weak points in a furnace that sat unused from April through October. Most Diamond Oaks, Broadway Park, and Carroll Peak homes run 80% AFUE single-stage gas furnaces installed anywhere from 1985 to 2010, and the calls we get in December-January are dominated by three failures: cracked hot-surface ignitors ($400), dirty flame sensors ($400), and stuck or failed gas valves ($400-$1,200). Older Haltom City homes also have aging inducer motors ($500-$1,300) that grind or fail to spin up on cold mornings.
The heat exchanger is what I worry about most on older Haltom City furnaces. A lot of these 1980s-90s York, Rheem, and Goodman furnaces installed in the original attic closet have been running for 25+ years, and the heat exchanger metal fatigues. Crack one and you're putting carbon monoxide in the supply air — which means we're not repairing it, we're condemning the furnace and quoting a full replacement. Every Haltom City heating diagnostic includes a CO check at the supply register and a visual heat exchanger inspection where accessible. I'd rather lose a repair job than let a Carroll Peak family breathe CO because I didn't catch a crack.
For the handful of Haltom City homes with heat pumps (newer builds off North Park Estates or retrofits in the East Loop 820 corridor), winter failures are different: failed defrost boards, bad reversing valves, outdoor TXV issues, and electric heat strip failures when the outdoor temp drops below 15°F. Heat pumps run briefly in cooling mode during a defrost cycle to melt ice off the outdoor coil, so if you see steam coming off the outdoor unit on a cold Haltom City morning, that's normal. Call (469) 254-0548 and we'll diagnose whatever's actually wrong for $85 (waived with repair). Se habla español.

Heating Repair FAQ for Haltom City, TX
How much does furnace repair cost in Haltom City, TX?
Diagnostic $85 flat (waived with repair). Common Haltom City furnace repairs: hot-surface ignitor $400 ($340 for Frosty Club members), flame sensor $400 ($340), gas valve $400-$1,200 ($340-$1,020), inducer motor $500-$1,300 ($425-$1,105), pressure switch $250-$550. We're flat-rate, so you see the total before we start.
Is my furnace safe to run with a cracked heat exchanger?
No. A cracked heat exchanger leaks combustion gases — including carbon monoxide — directly into your supply air. We don't repair cracked heat exchangers because they can't be safely welded back to spec. Instead, we quote a full furnace replacement. Every Haltom City diagnostic includes a heat exchanger inspection and CO check at the supply register, especially on older 1980s-90s Diamond Oaks and Broadway Park systems.
Do you repair heat pumps in Haltom City?
Yes. Newer builds in Haltom City occasionally run heat pumps instead of gas furnaces, especially in all-electric homes off North Park Estates and the East Loop 820 corridor. Common heat pump failures include defrost board faults, failed reversing valves, outdoor TXV issues, and electric heat strip failures. We service Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Lennox, Rheem, and all major residential brands.
Why does my Haltom City furnace keep shutting off after a few minutes?
Short cycling on a furnace is usually a dirty flame sensor (most common), overheating from restricted airflow (clogged filter or dirty blower — very common in Carroll Peak and Diamond Oaks ranches with undersized returns), or a failing pressure switch. The $85 diagnostic identifies the cause. Flame sensor cleaning runs $400 flat ($340 for members) and solves more than half of these calls.
My Haltom City furnace smells like something burning — should I call?
First time in the fall when you turn on the heat — that's usually dust burning off the heat exchanger and goes away in a few minutes. Normal. If the smell persists, smells electrical, or smells like gas, shut the system off at the thermostat and call us at (469) 254-0548. Electrical smells mean an overheating motor; gas smell means leave the house and call Atmos first.
