Heating & Air Conditioning Services in Channelview, TX
The average HVAC unit’s life span is roughly 12 years (or longer, depending on maintenance). Most of our homes in Channelview were built in 1980 and 1989, so if you’re a long-time property owner in Harris or Chambers counties, you may have already invested in a replacement heating and cooling system.
If you can’t remember the last time your system got professional attention, you might be overdue for service. You’d be surprised at how much of a difference it can make!

Signs Your Channelview Home Needs AC Repair or Replacement
Air conditioning is not a luxury item here in Channelview. It’s necessary. The least you should expect from your HVAC system is clean, comfortable air delivery.
Heating and air conditioning systems have moving parts. Any mechanical equipment with moving parts requires maintenance and, eventually, repair.
Signs your HVAC system needs repair or replacement include:
- Age: If your HVAC system is over 10 years old, you may need to start budgeting for a replacement unit. Maintenance saves money. Your monthly energy costs will be lower, and you’ll get more mileage out of your system.
- Comfort: If you’ve noticed any of these signs, your system needs attention:
- Muggy, uncomfortable air
- No/little air coming out of vents
- Noises
- Odors
- Rooms too hot/too cold
- The thermostat doesn’t seem to “keep up”
- Repairs: If you’ve already had one or more repairs this year, you may want to cut your losses and invest in a new, high-efficiency HVAC replacement.
- IAQ (indoor air quality) is more important than ever. Don’t compromise your health, especially if you have infants, elderly, or chronically ill family members. Ask about our IAQ services like air purifiers or whole-home humidifiers.
Did You Know…?
Federal tax credits are now available through 2023 for heat pump installation in your home. Any HVAC replacement will boost your property value. You could see as much as 85% ROI (return on investment) if and when you sell.

Choose Horizon Air Solutions for Safe, Effective HVAC Installation
Let’s face it: Texas has extreme weather. We have dangerously hot days, and after the record-breaking winter of 2021, we know how important our heating systems are.
In Texas, only licensed HVAC contractors can work on heating and cooling systems. EPA Section 608 certification is required to work with air conditioning units. Did you know your insurance can deny coverage if property damage occurs from a DIY (do-it-yourself) installation? You may also void your unit’s warranty. It’s not worth it.
DIY HVAC installation is dangerous, complicated, and requires tools and skills you probably don’t have. Horizon Air Solutions’ Texas professionals are NATE- (North American Technician Excellence) certified and receive regular technological training.
We’re eager to share what we learn with you because when you know more, you make better decisions. We’re building our business based on your trust, and we proudly offer the best pricing and quality services possible to our friends and neighbors (like you).
Commonly Asked Questions
Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 346-988-2977 today!
- Without maintenance, your HVAC system will last about 10 years. If you’ve recently had two or more repairs to your furnace, boiler, or heat pump, it’s time to replace your heating system. A heating unit is a big financial investment. Fall furnace maintenance saves money by keeping your system running more efficiently for longer.
- The winter storm of 2021 is proof that we should keep our heating systems in good condition!
- If you have questions about heating system maintenance, call (346) 988-2977 or contact Horizon Air Solutions.
- If your AC breaks and it’s more than 90 degrees outside, that’s an emergency. If your boiler, furnace, or heating system breaks and it’s 40 degrees or below, that’s an emergency too.
- Signs to look for include:
- Air blows cool when you need warm air.
- HVAC system won’t turn on.
- If your heating unit turns on and off, this is called short-cycling, and it’s an emergency in minus 40-degree weather.
- Noises (clicking, clunking) can indicate an emergency.
- Odd smell — if it’s the odor of burning plastic/electronics, don’t delay. If you smell gas, call your utility company, then call us ASAP.
- Puddles or drips under your heating unit can be a frozen coil or refrigerant leak.
- You suspect you have a furnace carbon monoxide leak:
- Brown/yellow stains around the pilot light area of the unit.
- Pilot light keeps blowing out.
- You notice a gas-like exhaust smell.
- If you didn’t schedule fall heating maintenance, it’s not uncommon to smell burning dust the first time you turn on your heating unit. Odors you should be concerned about are:
- Burning plastic/electrical: Turn off your heating system immediately and call Horizon Air for emergency heating repair.
- Chemical/formaldehyde: A crack in the heat exchanger can cause this odor; it’s an emergency.
- Lingering odors: We have several solutions for “bad air.” The overwhelming smell of cooking grease, cigarette smoke, or pet urine isn’t an emergency, but it isn’t healthy, either. Schedule an indoor air quality assessment.
- Metallic: A heating unit component may be overheating. Turn the unit off and call us.
- Mold/mildew or “dirty socks”: This is not an emergency, but it’s a health risk. Schedule an HVAC inspection.
- Rotten eggs: This may indicate a gas leak. Turn off your heating unit, open windows, and call your utility company. Then call Horizon Air.
- Sewage: This is dangerous. It means a sewage line is leaking into some area of your heating system. Call us, but we may advise you to call a plumber before scheduling an emergency repair.
- Smoke: Turn off your heating system and call us ASAP.
