Emergency Heating Repair
In Texas, a Hard Freeze Is a Plumbing Emergency Too
Texas homes are not built for sustained cold, and February 2021 taught the whole state what happens when the heat goes out and stays out. A house with no heat during a hard freeze is not just uncomfortable — the pipes are on a clock, and burst supply lines turn one bad night into weeks of repairs.
So we answer heating emergencies around the clock, at the same rate as a Tuesday afternoon. If we cannot get the system running immediately, we will tell you how to protect the plumbing while we do.

No mystery, no pressure. You know the price before we pick up a tool.
-
You Call, We Schedule
Tell us what the system is doing. We book the soonest window that works for you — including nights and weekends, with no after-hours surcharge.

We Diagnose the Real Cause
A licensed technician tests the system rather than guessing from the symptom, so you are not paying to replace parts that were never the problem.
-
You Approve the Price First
We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs. Nothing gets done until you say go.
-

Emergency Heating Repair — Common Questions
How Do I Know If My Furnace Issue Is an Emergency?
When a Furnace Problem Needs Immediate Attention
Some furnace problems can wait for a scheduled repair, but others require immediate action. Loud banging, grinding, or screeching noises may indicate a serious mechanical failure. Unusual smells—especially burning odors or anything resembling gas—can signal safety risks that should never be ignored. A furnace that shuts down completely, particularly during colder temperatures, can quickly affect your home’s safety and comfort. For homeowners in Fredericksburg and across the Texas Hill Country, the safest response is to turn off the furnace, ensure proper ventilation, and avoid using alternative heating sources like space heaters or open flames. Emergency furnace service helps restore heat safely while preventing further damage or hazards. Fast, professional response is key when a furnace problem puts comfort or safety at risk.
How Can I Avoid Needing Emergency AC or Furnace Repairs?
How Preventive Maintenance Helps Prevent HVAC Emergencies
Most HVAC emergencies don’t happen without warning. Minor issues like dirty coils, worn components, low refrigerant, or airflow restrictions can quietly strain your system over time. Without routine maintenance, these problems often worsen until the system fails—usually during extreme heat or cold when it’s working hardest. For homeowners in Fredericksburg and across the Texas Hill Country, regular inspections and tune-ups help ensure heating and cooling systems are clean, efficient, and operating safely year-round. Preventive maintenance improves reliability, reduces wear and tear, and helps avoid unexpected breakdowns. Maintenance plans make it easier to stay on schedule, providing peace of mind and dependable comfort through every season.
Can 72 Degrees Texas Handle Emergency Drain Cleaning Needs Outside of Normal Business Hours?

Can 72 Degrees Texas Replace a Furnace?
Expert Furnace Replacement From Start to Finish
Replacing a furnace involves more than swapping out equipment—it requires proper sizing, safe installation, and careful testing to ensure long-term performance. 72 Degrees Texas has been replacing furnaces in Fredericksburg and throughout the Texas Hill Country since 1986, bringing decades of experience to every installation. Our team manages the entire process, including removing the old furnace, installing the new system, and verifying it operates safely and efficiently.

High-performance furnace options are selected to match your home’s needs and installed with attention to detail, so your new system delivers consistent comfort and dependable operation for years to come.
Can 72 Degrees Texas Replace Just the Blower Motor in My Furnace?
When a Blower Motor Replacement Makes Sense
The blower motor is responsible for moving heated air through your home, and when it fails, your furnace may run without delivering warm air or stop working altogether. In many cases, a faulty blower motor can be repaired or replaced without replacing the entire furnace. A proper diagnosis helps determine whether the motor is the only issue or if other components are involved. For homeowners in Fredericksburg and across the Texas Hill Country, targeted repairs can be a smart, cost-effective solution. Replacing only the blower motor avoids unnecessary system replacement and helps restore comfort quickly. Honest evaluation and clear repair options ensure the fix is based on what’s best for your home and the long-term performance of your heating system.
