Kinsey Plumbing, Heating & Air repairs gas and electric furnaces in Lakeway homes, restoring safe, dependable heat when the system will not start, will not stay on, or cannot keep the house warm. Central Texas winters are short, but when a hard freeze arrives, a furnace that sat idle for months is often the first thing to let you down.
Call us if the blower runs but only cool air comes out, the furnace starts and then shuts itself off within a few minutes, you hear a loud bang or boom when the burners light, the pilot or igniter will not stay lit, a burning or electrical smell lingers after the heat comes on, the upstairs or one wing of the house never warms up, the thermostat calls for heat and nothing happens, or a carbon monoxide alarm goes off anywhere in the home.
Licensed Kinsey technicians price each furnace repair at a flat rate you approve before the work begins, and the repair is backed by warranties beyond the typical industry promise. Contact our team or set an appointment online with Schedule Now when your heat stops doing its job.

Furnace problems can involve gas, electricity, combustion, and airflow all at once, so we check the whole appliance instead of guessing at a single part. A technician tests the ignition sequence, flame sensor, gas valve, and safety switches, inspects the heat exchanger and venting, measures airflow and temperature rise, checks the blower motor and control board, and confirms the thermostat is sending a proper call for heat. If the furnace has been shutting down on a safety limit, we find out why, since those switches usually trip because something else is wrong.
Once the cause is known, you get a written flat-rate quote and decide whether to move forward. Many furnace failures are straightforward and affordable to fix. If we find a cracked heat exchanger, a failed control board on very old equipment, or a pattern of breakdowns, we explain the situation honestly and show you repair and replacement side by side, with the replacement estimate at no cost. Safety comes first, and we will always tell you plainly if a furnace should not be operated.
Some local facts are relevant here. A lot of homes in this area are larger houses built from the 1980s through the 2000s, so many furnaces are either original or on their second round, and age brings worn igniters, tired blower motors, and dirty burners. Houses with two or more systems may have a furnace on each floor or wing, and one can fail while the other keeps running, which hides the problem until a cold night. Because heating is only needed for short stretches, equipment often sits unused for months, then gets pushed hard during sudden cold snaps.
Our furnace repair service covers:
The technician who diagnoses your furnace carries out the repair and remains your contact if any questions come up later.
A furnace that has been repaired properly lights reliably, runs through full heating cycles, and delivers even warmth to the rooms it serves. The odd smells and noises go away, the safety controls work as designed, and you no longer wonder whether the system will make it through the next freeze. You also know the condition of the heat exchanger and venting, which matters for your family's safety as much as for comfort.
Putting off a furnace repair can be risky as well as costly. A system that short cycles or overheats wears out its blower and controls faster. Ignoring a combustion or venting problem can let carbon monoxide build up, and a furnace that quits on the coldest night of the year puts pipes, pets, and people at risk. Fixing a small fault now is far cheaper than an emergency replacement during a freeze.
When the repair is complete, your technician explains what failed, what was replaced, and how the furnace tested afterward. If we notice anything else worth watching, such as a worn belt or a vent that needs attention, we point it out and let you decide what to do. A fall check before the first cold front is a good habit, and we will mention it without pushing.
If your home is not heating the way it should, submit a service request and a licensed Kinsey technician will locate the fault and hand you a fair price before any work starts.
