Quick answer
If your furnace won't ignite, blows cold air, or keeps cycling off, Family First Comfort offers same-day heating and furnace repair throughout Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and the DFW Metroplex. We diagnose gas, electric, and heat pump systems, checking ignition, gas safety, and airflow, before recommending any repair.
A furnace that won't ignite, cycles on and off, or blows cold air is more than an inconvenience during a North Texas cold snap. Family First Comfort diagnoses gas, electric, and heat pump heating systems to find the real cause of the problem, not just the symptom.
Because heating systems involve gas lines, electrical components, and combustion safety, we take a careful, methodical approach to every inspection. You'll get a clear explanation of what we found and what your repair options are before we do any work.
North Texas doesn't see winter weather every day, but when a cold front or freeze event does move through, a furnace that hasn't been checked in years is exactly the kind of system that fails at the worst possible time. We treat every heating repair call with the urgency that a home without heat during a freeze actually deserves.
Furnace Repair in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, and DFW
Family First Comfort is based at 3120 SW Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76133, and repairs gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps across the DFW area. That includes older homes near Fort Worth's historic core and newer subdivisions on the edges of the Metroplex.
North Texas heating problems tend to show up all at once. A furnace can sit idle for months, then run hard when the first cold front arrives, which is when a weak ignitor, dirty flame sensor, or clogged filter usually shows itself. Many DFW homes also have the furnace in the attic, so it's worth having a comfort expert check the unit and its venting rather than climbing up there yourself.
If you have no heat during a freeze, we offer 24/7 emergency dispatch. Otherwise, we offer same-day service when our schedule allows. Call (817) 935-8540 or book online to get started.

Results You Can Feel
Every heating job aims for the same thing: a home that's more comfortable, a system that runs efficiently, and peace of mind when the temperature drops. You don't have to take our word for it. Our reviews page has what our customers say about the work.
Signs Your Furnace Needs Repair
A gas furnace usually gives some warning before it quits. You might hear it click without lighting, watch it light and shut off a few seconds later, feel cold air from the vents, or find the breaker tripped. Most of those problems trace back to a few parts, and we repair furnaces of every brand, including Lennox, Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, and York.
- Ignitor and flame sensor repair and cleaning
- Blower motor and limit switch service
- Heat exchanger safety inspection
- A carbon monoxide test on every heating visit
Heat Pump Repair
A heat pump heats your home with the same outdoor unit that cools it in summer, just running in reverse. Trouble usually shows up as lukewarm air in heat mode, an outdoor unit that ices over and stays that way, a system that never shuts off, or a jump in your electric bill because the backup heat is doing all the work. We repair every make, including dual-fuel systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace.
- Defrost control and reversing valve repair
- Outdoor fan motor, capacitor, and contactor replacement
- Refrigerant leak detection
- Thermostat and backup heat settings
No Heat? Try These First
A few quick checks can sometimes save you a service call:
- Thermostat: make sure it's set to Heat, the set temperature is above the room temperature, and the batteries aren't dead.
- Filter: a clogged filter can make a furnace overheat and shut itself off.
- Power: check that the breaker hasn't tripped and that the switch near the furnace, which looks like a light switch, is on.
- Heat pump: a little frost on the outdoor unit is normal and should clear during the defrost cycle. A thick block of ice that doesn't go away is not.
If You Smell Gas or Still Have No Heat
If you smell gas, get everyone out of the house and call your gas utility from outside. Don't use light switches or anything that could make a spark on your way out.
If the checks above don't bring the heat back, call us at (817) 935-8540. We offer 24/7 emergency service.
New Furnace and Heat Pump Installation
When a repair no longer makes sense, we'll show you why before you decide anything. We install gas furnaces, heat pumps, and electric and dual-fuel systems, each sized with a Manual J load calculation. As a Lennox Premier Dealer, we can offer manufacturer rebates and financing on qualifying systems.

Furnace repair in Fort WorthWhat Does Zoned Mean in HVAC?
A zoned system splits your home into areas that are heated and cooled separately, each with its own thermostat. It can help when one floor or room is never comfortable.

What Affects the Cost of Heating & Furnace Repair
- Which component failed, an ignitor is a much smaller repair than a heat exchanger or control board
- Whether your system is gas, electric, or a heat pump, since parts and labor differ by type
- The age of the unit and availability of replacement parts
- Whether the issue is isolated or points to a larger safety or combustion concern
We give you a clear price after diagnosing your specific situation, not a generic number before we've seen your system.
Our Heating & Furnace Repair Process
- 1
Safety check first
Because heating systems involve gas and combustion, we start with a safety-focused check of the heat exchanger, gas connections, and ventilation before anything else.
- 2
Diagnose the real issue
We test ignition components, the control board, and airflow to identify the actual cause rather than replacing parts by guesswork.
- 3
Walk through your options
You'll know what's wrong and what it costs to fix before we do any repair work.
- 4
Repair and confirm heat output
Once approved, we complete the repair and confirm the system is heating properly and safely before we leave.

Should I repair or replace my furnace?+
It depends on the furnace's age, the cost of the repair, and how reliable it has been. A furnace under 15 years old with a simple problem is usually worth fixing. One near 15 to 20 years old that keeps breaking down is often better replaced. We'll give you an honest recommendation.
How long does a furnace last in Fort Worth?+
Furnaces often last 15 to 20 years with good maintenance. Fort Worth's mild winters are easier on a furnace than colder climates, but an annual tune-up still makes a big difference.
How can I avoid costly furnace repairs?+
Change your filter regularly, keep vents and returns clear, and schedule a heating tune-up every fall. Our 44-point tune-up catches worn parts before they turn into a no-heat call on a cold night.
How much does it cost to replace a furnace in Fort Worth?+
A furnace-only replacement from Family First Comfort typically costs $3,000 to $6,000 installed, depending on size. See our cost guide for prices by BTU, or request a free estimate.
My furnace won't turn on. What could be wrong?+
Common causes include a failed ignitor, a tripped safety switch, thermostat issues, or a control board problem. A diagnostic visit identifies the specific cause in your system.
Is it safe to keep running my furnace if I smell gas?+
No. If you smell gas, turn off your furnace, leave the area, and contact your gas utility or emergency services immediately before calling us for a repair.
How often should a furnace be serviced?+
Most manufacturers recommend an annual inspection before heating season. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they become bigger repairs, though it isn't a substitute for diagnosing an active problem.
Why does my furnace smell like it's burning when I first turn it on?+
A brief odor when a furnace runs for the first time after months of disuse is often just dust burning off the heat exchanger. If the smell persists or is strong, turn off the system and have it inspected.
Do you offer emergency furnace repair?+
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch, which matters most when you have no heat during a freeze. We'll give you our best estimate of arrival when you call, since appointment windows aren't guaranteed arrival times.
Is furnace repair or heat pump repair more expensive?+
It depends entirely on what's actually wrong, not the equipment type in general. We'll diagnose your specific system and give you a clear price before recommending any repair.
