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 Highland Park?
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 Highland Parkheating 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 Highland ParkHomeowners Trust Frosty's for Heating Repair
Highland Park sees the same 20-30 freeze nights a year as the rest of DFW, but the heating systems we work on are nothing like a typical Plano or Frisco furnace job. Most homes off Armstrong Parkway, Beverly Drive, and Lexington Avenue have multi-zone setups with 3-6 separate furnaces or air handlers spread across the house — one per floor or wing. When the homeowner says "the heat isn't working," the first job is figuring out which zone is actually down. Common winter failures are the same as anywhere — cracked hot-surface ignitors ($400), dirty flame sensors ($400), stuck gas valves ($400-$1,200), and aging inducer motors ($500-$1,300) — but the diagnostics take longer because we're working through complex zoned controls.
The heat exchanger is the failure I worry about most in Highland Park, especially in homes where the original 1950s ductwork has been re-tied into newer furnaces over multiple renovations. Cracked heat exchangers leak carbon monoxide directly into supply air. Every diagnostic we do here includes a CO check at the supply register and a visual heat exchanger inspection where access allows. If I see rust, scale, or flame impingement, I tell you straight — and on a multi-zone home, I'll inspect the other furnaces too while I'm there. I'd rather lose a repair job than let a family breathe CO.
Many newer Highland Park renovations swapped to heat pumps for the upper-floor zones — quieter, no combustion in finished living space, and easier on the historic structure. Heat pump winter failures look different: defrost board faults, failed reversing valves, and outdoor TXV issues. Steam coming off the outdoor unit on a cold morning is normal — that's a defrost cycle melting ice off the coil. If your heat is genuinely down, call (469) 254-0548 and we'll diagnose it for $85 (waived with repair). We service Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and all major brands.

Heating Repair FAQ for Highland Park, TX
How much does furnace repair cost in Highland Park, TX?
Diagnostic $85 flat (waived with repair). Common Highland Park 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. Multi-zone homes have multiple furnaces — we quote each one flat-rate so you see the total before we start.
Is my furnace safe to run if the heat exchanger is cracked?
No. A cracked heat exchanger leaks combustion gases — including carbon monoxide — into your supply air. We don't repair cracked heat exchangers because they can't be safely welded back to spec. Instead we condemn the furnace and quote a full replacement. Every Highland Park diagnostic includes a heat exchanger inspection and CO check at the supply register. On multi-zone homes I'll inspect all the units while I'm on-site.
Why is one zone of my Highland Park home cold while the others are fine?
On multi-zone Highland Park homes, the usual suspects are a failed zone damper actuator, a furnace or air handler in lockout (ignitor, flame sensor, or pressure switch fault), or a thermostat that lost communication with the zone board. We diagnose zone-by-zone for $85 (waived with repair). I'll show you exactly which zone failed and why before quoting the fix.
Do you repair heat pumps in Highland Park?
Yes. Many newer Highland Park renovations use heat pumps for upper-floor zones — quieter than gas, no combustion in finished living spaces. Common heat pump failures include defrost board faults, failed reversing valves, and outdoor TXV issues. We service Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Lennox, Rheem, and all major residential brands.
My Highland Park furnace smells like something burning — should I call?
First time in fall — usually dust burning off the heat exchanger, goes away in a few minutes. Normal. If the smell persists, is 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 or wiring; gas smell means leave the house and call the gas company first.
