"Carnes & Sons are the best AC company I could find. I had 10 businesses quote my project but only Carnes & Sons had the right brand at the right prices. They upgraded my system with top of the line LED purifier... got it installed and working within a few days of initial contact. They helped me get through the 4th of July weekend with portable units u til they could install on Monday. That is customer service. They have my business going forward!..."

"Great price. I am absolutely thrilled with the service I received from Carnes and Sons Air Conditioning. I needed a full system replacement in a home with a challenging setup, and after receiving multiple quotes, Carnes was the only company with the creativity, expertise, and confidence to deliver exactly what I wanted. Their workmanship, attention to detail, responsiveness, fair pricing, and speed of installation were all top-notch. They made a complex project feel seamless and stress-free. It's rare to find a company that combines technical skill with such a high level of customer care. I am truly grateful for their work and would recommend Carnes and Sons without hesitation to anyone looking for HVAC service done the right way."

Common Heating Problems in Alamo Heights Homes

Heating System Safety & Carbon Monoxide Prevention

Carbon Monoxide Risks in Alamo Heights Homes

Gas furnaces, if not properly maintained, can produce deadly carbon monoxide. Historic Alamo Heights homes with older heating systems require special attention. Install CO detectors on every level, especially near bedrooms.

Warning Signs of Dangerous Heating Conditions

  • Yellow or Orange Pilot Light: Should burn blue - discoloration indicates incomplete combustion
  • Soot Buildup: Black marks around furnace vents or registers
  • Excessive Condensation: Moisture on windows when furnace runs
  • Rust on Vent Pipes: Indicates moisture and potential ventilation problems
  • Physical Symptoms: Headaches, nausea, or dizziness that improve when leaving home

Annual Safety Inspection Checklist

  • Heat exchanger inspection for cracks (most critical safety component)
  • Carbon monoxide testing at all registers
  • Flue pipe and ventilation system check
  • Gas line and connection inspection
  • Safety control testing and calibration

Call (210) 600-5091 immediately if you suspect any safety issues with your heating system.

Heating Repair Costs & Common Fixes

Typical Heating Repair Costs in Alamo Heights

  • Thermostat Replacement: $150-$500 (smart thermostats on higher end)
  • Igniter Replacement: $150-$300 (common 3-5 year replacement)
  • Blower Motor Repair: $400-$800 (variable speed motors cost more)
  • Heat Exchanger: $1,500-$3,000 (often better to replace entire furnace)
  • Control Board: $200-$600 (brain of modern furnaces)
  • Gas Valve: $200-$600 (controls gas flow to burners)
  • Flame Sensor Cleaning: $75-$150 (simple but essential maintenance)

Money-Saving Maintenance Tips

  • Change filters monthly during winter (saves $50-100/month on energy)
  • Keep vents clear of furniture and drapes
  • Annual professional tune-up prevents 90% of breakdowns
  • Clean around outdoor heat pump units regularly
  • Program thermostat for efficiency (68°F when home, 60°F when away)

When Repair Isn't Worth It

If your heating system is over 15 years old and repair costs exceed $1,000, replacement often makes more financial sense. New high-efficiency systems can cut heating bills by 30-40%.
