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 Sansom 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 Sansom 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 Sansom ParkHomeowners Trust Frosty's for Heating Repair
Sansom Park sees 20-30 freeze nights a year, and the Trinity River and Lake Como valleys can run a degree or two colder than inland Tarrant neighborhoods on winter mornings. Most Sansom Heights and Lake Como-edge homes run 80% AFUE single-stage gas furnaces that are 25-40 years old, retrofitted into the closet or attic of a 1950s brick ranch. 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). Aging inducer motors ($500-$1,300) are extremely common in Sansom Park's older inventory.
Heat exchangers are what I worry about most on older Sansom Park furnaces. A lot of these 1990s-and-earlier Rheem, Goodman, and Carrier furnaces have been running for 30+ years at this point, 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 Sansom Park heating diagnostic includes a CO check at the supply register and a visual heat exchanger inspection. I'd rather lose a repair job than let a Sansom Heights family breathe CO.
For the handful of newer Sansom Park homes with heat pumps — occasionally seen in all-electric builds off Roberts Cut Off — 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 defrost to melt ice off the outdoor coil, so steam off the outdoor unit on a cold Sansom Park morning is normal. Call (469) 254-0548 for $85 diagnostic (waived with repair). Se habla español.

Heating Repair FAQ for Sansom Park, TX
How much does furnace repair cost in Sansom Park, TX?
Diagnostic $85 flat (waived with repair). Common Sansom 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. We're 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 — 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 Sansom Park diagnostic includes a heat exchanger inspection and CO check at the supply register.
Do you repair heat pumps in Sansom Park?
Yes. A small number of newer all-electric Sansom Park homes run heat pumps instead of gas furnaces. 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 Sansom Park 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 1950s Sansom Heights homes with undersized returns), or a failing pressure switch. The $85 diagnostic identifies the cause. Flame sensor cleaning runs $400 flat ($340 for members).
My Sansom Park 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 and call us at (469) 254-0548. Gas smell means leave the house and call Atmos first.
