Lewisville FAQ

Should I run my furnace constantly during an extended cold snap?+

Letting the thermostat run at a normal, consistent setting is generally better than constantly adjusting it up and down, which can strain the system. If you're trying to conserve energy during grid strain, a modest, steady temperature reduction is usually a better approach than turning the heat off entirely and back on later.

Can extreme cold damage a heat pump specifically?+

Heat pumps are designed to handle a wide range of temperatures, but efficiency drops as it gets colder, and ice buildup on the outdoor unit is a real risk during freezing precipitation. Most heat pumps have a defrost cycle to manage this automatically, but it's worth checking that ice isn't accumulating faster than the system can clear it during an extended freeze.

Is emergency HVAC service actually available during a major storm?+

We offer emergency and same-day service when scheduling allows, but it's honest to say that during a major regional weather event, every HVAC company in the area is dealing with a surge in calls at once. That's exactly why doing the preventative steps beforehand matters, it reduces the odds you're one of the calls waiting during the worst of it.

Is there anything specific to Lewisville homes I should know before calling?+

Nothing that changes the fundamentals, just let us know you're in Lewisville and what you're seeing, and we'll take it from there with the same honest diagnostic we bring to every call.
