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 Kennedale?
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 Kennedaleheating 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 KennedaleHomeowners Trust Frosty's for Heating Repair
Heating repair in Kennedale is mostly gas-furnace work — Atmos serves most Kennedale addresses, and Oakhurst, Parkview, and Sonora Park homes typically run 80% or 96% AFUE furnaces in attics or interior closets. Older Kennedale homes on the west side sometimes still have original 60-70% efficiency gravity-vent furnaces that predate modern safety standards. Newer Shady Creek and Sonora Park builds trend toward heat pumps and dual-fuel setups where homeowners prioritized efficiency during the build.
Kennedale hard freezes usually hit once or twice a winter, often in January. That's when older Oakhurst and Parkview furnaces fail — cracked heat exchangers on 20+ year old units, ignition board failures on mid-age systems, flame sensors fouled by decades of dust, and inducer motor bearing failures. Winter Storm Uri (2021) was the emergency that flagged every weak furnace in Kennedale; if yours was limping back then and you haven't replaced it, the next hard freeze may be the one that ends it. We run combustion analysis and CO testing on every Kennedale gas furnace repair so you leave with a system that's actually safe, not just running.
Typical Kennedale heating repair costs: diagnostic $85 flat (waived with repair), flame sensor $250, hot surface igniter $350, inducer motor $750-$1,200, gas valve $600-$900, control board $500-$900, heat exchanger replacement $2,500-$4,000 (usually the point where replacement wins). Heat pump-specific: reversing valve $900, defrost board $400-$700, outdoor fan motor $600-$900. We find and fix leaks before recharging refrigerant — HVAC systems are hermetic, so low charge always means a leak. Call (469) 254-0548.

Heating Repair FAQ for Kennedale, TX
My Kennedale gas furnace won't start — what's wrong?
Common causes: flame sensor fouled with dust (most frequent, $250 fix), hot surface igniter cracked ($350), pressure switch stuck from a blocked flue, or control board failure. On newer furnaces it's often a communication fault or a tripped rollout switch. Call (469) 254-0548 and we'll pull fault codes and give you a flat-rate quote.
Is it normal for my Kennedale furnace to smell like gas when it starts?
No. A natural gas smell near a running furnace means call Atmos immediately at 1-866-322-8667 and leave the house. A dusty-burning smell on the first cold night of the season is normal — that's summer dust burning off the heat exchanger — but actual gas odor is a leak. Don't troubleshoot it yourself.
Should I fix my 22-year-old Kennedale furnace or replace it?
At 22 years, cracked heat exchangers are common and repair parts availability drops. If the repair is over $1,500, replacement usually wins on 5-year economics. We give you the repair cost and the replacement quote side-by-side and let you decide with real numbers.
My Kennedale heat pump won't switch to heat mode — emergency?
Depends on outdoor temp. Above 40°F it's inconvenient; under freezing it's urgent. Common causes: failed reversing valve ($900), defrost board failure, low refrigerant from a leak. Flip the thermostat to emergency heat (electric resistance) to keep warm and call (469) 254-0548 for same-day diagnosis.
Do you do carbon monoxide testing on Kennedale furnace repairs?
Yes — every gas furnace call. We use a calibrated combustion analyzer to verify CO levels at the supply register after repair. Anything above 9 ppm ambient or 400 ppm undiluted flue is a red flag. If you don't have CO detectors on each level of the house, install them — $30 at Home Depot saves lives.
