Heating FAQs

Here are the most often asked questions having to do with heating. Please feel free to call us if you don’t find your question answered below.

Remember, if you have more questions contact us at (512) 488-1120!

  • How Do I Know That I Need a New Heater?

    If your heater needs constant repairs, is 15 years or older, or can’t heat your home properly, we advise replacing it. When a heater or HVAC system is old, it can’t operate as effectively and might end up costing you more money than it should.

  • Why Should I Clean the Area Around My Furnace When I Get a Repair?

    It is important to keep the area around the furnace free of debris, dirt, and any miscellaneous items. Keeping the area clear will also help keep the equipment more accessible for repairs or an inspection.

  • Should I Change Out the Filter for My Furnace?

    Yes, you should exchange the furnace air filters on a regular basis. Be sure and use the right size for your furnace, and ensure they are installed the right way. Depending on the amount of system usage, pet dander, hair or fur, dust and other contaminants in the air, Fox Service Company suggests changing your air filter every 30 to 90 days.

  • What Is a Heat Pump?

    A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling system. Instead of multiple systems, like a furnace and an air conditioner, a heat pump can cool your home during the summer and heat your home during the winter.

    "The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional."

    The guys showed up on time. They were extremely professional. Their estimate on how long it would take was pretty accurate. I was in video meetings during a lot of their work and they seemed to be extra careful to make less noise when I was on those calls because the people I met with said that they didn't notice them. Overall - great job!

    "I now use them for ac, plumbing and electrical and couldn't be happier."

    These guys are always on time, helpful, and don't try to get you to buy all the things. They provide you with options and as much info as needed to make your best decision. I now use them for ac, plumbing and electrical and couldn't be happier.

    "Excellent service!"

    Excellent service! Bryan Benoit and his team had a crew out to my house and replaced my AC unit very fast. Fair pricing with great warranty, 10 years parts, and labor.

    "The absolute worst timing for an electrical issue but am extremely happy with him being able to resolve it in a timely matter."

    Called Fox out for a last-minute electrical issue while I’m in the closing process for selling my condo. Dominic was absolutely amazing, got there after hours at night and fixed it. The absolute worst timing for an electrical issue but am extremely happy with him being able to resolve it in a timely matter.

    "I will use them again when I need an electrician."

    They sent an electrician to investigate some strange electrical problems. He identified the problem and resolved it quickly. He was courteous, respectful of my property, and clearly explained the problem he found and how he resolved it. I will use them again when I need an electrician.
