Irving’s housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the metroplex. South and central neighborhoods like Cottonwood Valley, Plymouth Park, and the ranch corridors off Story Road and Shady Grove Road are packed with 1955-1975 slab-on-grade homes built when in-slab ductwork seemed like a good idea. We’ve spent twenty years learning what actually fails in these houses. The Blackland Prairie clay beneath them heaves and shrinks with every North Texas rain cycle, and that movement cracks duct joints buried in concrete. A furnace can be perfectly healthy and still never heat the house because the air it’s producing is dumping into the soil. That’s why our Furnace Repair team starts with pressure testing, not guesswork.
Why Coldharbour Heating & Air Is Irving’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
We’ve been part of the Kingswell network since 2003, and our independently owned operation has built a reputation in Irving by showing up when we say we will and putting every promise in writing. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained on nine major residential brands, so the person at your door knows your system, whether it’s a 1990s Goodman in a Valley Ranch townhome or a newer Daikin in a Las Colinas mid-rise.
Homeowners in Irving call us back because of the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Every repair leaves with a written guarantee: if it fails within a full year, we return and correct it at no charge. No argument, no additional diagnostic fee. The price is also written down before any work begins, and it doesn’t change when the job is done. That’s The Kingswell Way, and it’s how we’ve earned repeat business from families in Irving’s older neighborhoods who’ve been burned by verbal promises before.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When your furnace quits on a January night and the temperature inside is dropping toward the 40s, you don’t wait until morning for a callback. We coordinate dispatch from our Dallas-Fort Worth office and route technicians directly to Irving, typically with same-day availability for repair calls.
Heating Repair in Irving
Heating Repair in Irving covers everything from a furnace that won’t ignite to a system that runs constantly without warming the house. Our diagnostic process starts with the thermostat and works through the ignition sequence, flame sensor, gas valve, blower assembly, and heat exchanger integrity. In Irving’s 1955-1975 ranch stock, we also test static pressure and duct leakage, because a furnace replacement without duct repair is often money wasted.
Most Heating Repair calls in Irving fall between $150-$700, depending on which component has failed and whether we find secondary issues like cracked in-slab ductwork or an undersized electrical circuit. We hand you the written price before any work begins, and that price includes parts, labor, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Ignitor and Flame Sensor Service
The hot surface ignitor in a modern gas furnace glows white-hot to light the burners, and the flame sensor confirms ignition is happening safely. In Irving, we see ignitor failures spike during the first cold snap in November, when systems that sat idle through a 100°F summer suddenly have to fire. A cracked ignitor typically runs $150-$280 to replace, including the part and labor. Flame sensor cleaning is often less, and we check both as part of our standard diagnostic.
Blower Motor and Capacitor Repair
The blower motor pushes heated air through your ducts. When it fails, you might hear the furnace fire but feel nothing from the vents. In south Irving’s older homes with restricted ductwork from slab leaks or collapsed flex runs, blower motors work harder and fail sooner. Capacitor replacement runs on the lower end of our range; a full blower motor replacement can reach the upper end if the assembly is damaged or the housing needs rework.
Boiler Repair in Irving
Boiler Repair in Irving is less common than furnace work, but the homes and small commercial buildings that rely on hydronic heat need specialists who understand circulator pumps, expansion tanks, and zone valves. We’ve serviced boiler systems in older Irving commercial properties near the Las Colinas corridor and in a handful of mid-century ranch homes that were originally built with radiant or baseboard hot water.
Boiler Repair in Irving typically costs $150-$700, with most calls landing in the middle of that range for pump replacement, zone valve repair, or pressure relief valve work. We carry common boiler parts for brands like Rheem and York, and we pressure-test the system before declaring it safe to operate.
Circulator Pump and Zone Valve Service
A failed circulator pump means heat stays at the boiler while rooms go cold. Zone valves direct hot water to different areas, and when they stick, you get uneven heating. We test amp draw on pumps and manually exercise zone valves to find the failure point. In Irving’s occasional hard freeze, we also check for cracked heat exchangers or frozen condensate lines that can damage boiler components.
Expansion Tank and Pressure Issues
The expansion tank absorbs pressure changes as water heats and cools. When it fails, relief valves drip or safety switches trip. We check pre-charge pressure and bladder integrity, then recharge or replace as needed. This is basic maintenance that prevents bigger problems, and we include it in our boiler diagnostic.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
Our technicians are trained to service Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin systems, plus Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Bryant, and American Standard. We stock common ignitors, blower motors, gas valves, and control boards for the brands we see most in Irving, which means faster turnaround and fewer return trips. Goodman and Rheem furnaces are especially common in the 1980s-2000s Irving ranch and townhome stock, while York and Daikin appear more often in newer construction and Las Colinas commercial installations. When we need a specialty part, our Dallas-Fort Worth supply house relationships get it next-day, not next-week.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Cracked in-slab ductwork in south Irving ranches. The Blackland Prairie clay beneath homes off Story Road and Shady Grove Road heaves and shrinks seasonally, breaking joints in original sheet-metal duct buried in the slab. Conditioned air leaks into the soil, so the furnace short-cycles endlessly trying to satisfy a thermostat it can never reach.
- Undersized electrical panels in 1960s-1970s homes. Original 100-amp panels in these ranches often can’t handle a modern furnace plus heat pump strip heat. A like-for-like swap of an old unit sometimes trips breakers or forces the installer to downsize capacity, leaving the homeowner cold on the coldest nights.
- Failed ignitors after long idle periods. North Texas summers push 100°F for weeks, and furnaces sit unused for six months. The first November cold snap brings a wave of calls from Irving homeowners whose hot surface ignitors cracked from thermal stress during the previous heating season.
- Condensate drain failures from the February 2021 ice storm legacy. Frozen drain traps and cracked condensate lines from that event still show up in our Irving calls. A blocked drain floods the float switch and locks out the furnace on safety, often in the middle of a cold night when the homeowner needs heat most.

What drives the actual number? The component that failed, whether we find secondary issues during diagnostic, and whether your system needs duct pressure testing or electrical panel evaluation. A straightforward ignitor replacement sits at the lower end. A blower motor plus duct seal after we find slab leakage runs higher. We give you the written price before any work begins, and that price doesn’t change at the door. Estimates are free, and there’s no charge for us to come out, diagnose, and hand you the number.
We got called to a 1968 slab ranch off Story Road in south Irving where the homeowner had already replaced the furnace twice and still couldn’t hold 68°F on a January night. Our tech pressure-tested the original sheet-metal in-slab duct, found a broken joint dumping air straight into the clay, and caught a cracked heat exchanger on the existing unit before we ever quoted a new one. Once we sealed and rerouted the duct and set the new blower motor to the corrected static pressure, the house finally held temp without running the strip heat constantly.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Irving
The Blackland Prairie clay beneath south and central Irving heaves and shrinks enough to crack in-slab duct joints from the 1960s and 1970s, dumping conditioned air into the soil. Your new furnace may be perfectly sized, but the ductwork is losing half its output before it reaches the vents. We pressure-test ducts before sizing any replacement, because the slab itself is often the real culprit. Call (817) 402-2972 and we’ll check it.
Many 1955-1975 ranches in Irving still have original 100-amp panels that can’t carry a modern furnace plus heat pump strip heat. A like-for-like swap sometimes trips breakers or forces the installer to downsize capacity. We evaluate your panel as part of our diagnostic and tell you upfront if electrical work is needed before we quote the heating system. Call (817) 402-2972 for a free evaluation.
Most furnace repairs in Irving run $150-$700, with the majority falling between $200-$450 for common failures like ignitor replacement, flame sensor cleaning, or gas valve repair. We hand you a written price before any work begins, and that price includes parts, labor, and our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (817) 402-2972 for an exact quote on your system.
Signs include a strong chemical or formaldehyde odor, soot buildup around furnace joints, water on the floor beneath the unit, or flu-like symptoms in household members when the heat runs. A cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide, and we treat it as a safety shutdown. Our technicians inspect with combustion analyzers and visual scopes. If we find a crack, we show you the image and explain your options. Call (817) 402-2972 immediately if you suspect this.
Yes. That storm froze condensate lines and drain traps across North Texas, and we’re still finding cracked PVC, damaged float switches, and improperly rerouted drains in Irving homes. A blocked condensate line can flood the safety switch and lock out your furnace. We check condensate integrity on every diagnostic and replace damaged components before they fail again. Call (817) 402-2972 if your system hasn’t been inspected since that storm.
