Expert Heater Repair & Furnace Installation in El Paso

Reliable Gas Furnace & Heating Solutions in El Paso, TX

Safe, Efficient Warmth for the Borderland’s Coldest Nights

While El Paso is known for its heat, our desert winters bring freezing temperatures that put your heating system to the test. At Southwest Air Conditioning, we specialize in the gas systems that power nearly every home in the Sun City. Since 1991, we have provided expert installation, repair, and safety inspections for Gas Furnaces and Gas-Package units.

When the temperature drops, you don’t just need heat—you need a system that operates safely. Our licensed technicians (TACLB018710E) are experts in gas combustion, ensuring your home stays warm without the risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide exposure.

El Paso’s Gas Heating Experts: Systems We Service

Unlike other parts of the country that rely on electric heat pumps, El Paso is built on natural gas infrastructure. We provide comprehensive service for all local heating configurations:

  • Forced-Air Gas Furnaces: The most common residential system. We service everything from the burners and ignitors to the blower motors and heat exchangers.

  • Gas-Packaged Units (Gas-Packs): Many El Paso homes have these all-in-one heating and cooling units on the roof. We specialize in the complex maintenance these rooftop systems require to handle our high desert winds.

  • Wall Heaters & Floor Furnaces: Found in many of El Paso’s beautiful historic homes (like those in Kern Place or Manhattan Heights), these units require specialized knowledge to keep them venting safely.

Heating Safety: Protecting Your Family from Carbon Monoxide

Because El Paso homes rely so heavily on gas, Carbon Monoxide (CO) safety is our top priority. CO is an odorless, colorless gas that can leak from a cracked heat exchanger or a blocked vent pipe.

  • The Heat Exchanger Inspection: During every heating tune-up, we perform a multi-point inspection of your furnace’s heat exchanger. Even a microscopic crack can allow combustion gases to enter your home’s airflow.

  • Venting & Draft Analysis: We ensure your furnace is "breathing" correctly and that all exhaust gases are being safely diverted through your roof.

  • Safety Switch Testing: We test limit switches and flame sensors to ensure your furnace shuts down automatically if it detects an unsafe condition like overheating.

Understanding Furnace Efficiency (AFUE Ratings)

If you are considering a new heating system, you’ll see an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating.

  • What it means: An 80% AFUE furnace turns 80 cents of every dollar of gas into heat, while 20% is lost through the flue.

  • High-Efficiency Options: We offer 90%+ AFUE furnaces that maximize your fuel usage, which is especially important as natural gas rates fluctuate. We can help you determine if the energy savings justify the upgrade based on your home’s insulation and size.

Our 40% Standard for Heating Repairs

Just like our AC service, we follow a strict "Honest Advice" policy. If a furnace repair—such as a blower motor replacement—costs more than 40% of the price of a new system, we will recommend a replacement. A new furnace resets your warranty and, most importantly, provides the highest level of safety for your family.
