Conroe runs its system almost year round
Seven months of cooling and five months of heat means your system barely gets a rest in Conroe. Summer afternoons averaging 93°F push the compressor hard, day after day, from April through October. Then November comes and the same system has to switch over and hold through nights averaging 43°F.
That kind of year-round load wears on different parts depending on the season. Summer heat is hard on the compressor and the refrigerant charge. Winter nights bring on the igniter and heat exchanger, parts that get little use the rest of the year and can fail quietly until you need them. More than half of homes here heat with electricity, so when storms knock out power, and a third of Texas households lost power for a day or more in 2024, both the heat and the cooling go down together.

Texas requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
Texas issues this license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. It belongs to the contractor, not to any one job, so the same license covers this repair and every other HVAC job that contractor takes on.
For a repair on a heating and cooling system, that license is what stands behind the person doing the work. It is the state's record of who is allowed to do HVAC work in Texas, on this job and any other.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Most no-heat calls come down to the thermostat, the igniter, or the power supply to the furnace. Check that the thermostat is set to heat and the batteries are good, since a dead thermostat looks the same as a dead furnace. If the furnace runs but the air never gets warm, the igniter may have failed, and that part wears out over time and needs replacing. Over half the homes in this area heat with electricity, so if the breaker tripped, the furnace will not start at all. A licensed contractor can tell you which one it is and price the fix.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- If the fan is running but the air is not cold, the problem is usually the refrigerant charge or the outdoor unit. A dirty outdoor coil covered in dirt or grass clippings cannot release heat the way it needs to, so the system runs without cooling. A clogged filter cuts down airflow the same way and makes the whole system work harder for less cool air. Summer afternoons here average 93°F, so a struggling system gets tested every day it is not fixed. A contractor can check the refrigerant level and the coil and tell you what is actually wrong.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Start with the thermostat. Make sure it is set correctly and the batteries are not dead, since that alone causes a lot of no-heat and no-cool calls. Check the breaker box for a tripped breaker, especially after a storm, since 33% of Texas households lost power for at least 24 hours in 2024. Look at the air filter and replace it if it is dirty, since a clogged filter chokes off airflow to the whole system. If the outdoor unit is covered in leaves or debris, clear it so air can move through the coil. If none of that fixes it, a licensed contractor can diagnose the rest.
