HVAC Components We Repair & Replace, Georgetown TX
Motors & Fans
Diagnose and repair indoor blower motor failures, bearing wear, winding failure, and capacitor issues.
Replace failed indoor blower motors, we stock common motors for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem.
Lubricate blower motor bearings before they fail, catches motors that squeal before they burn out.
Clean blower wheels coated with dust and debris that reduce airflow and strain the motor.
Repair or replace condenser fan motors, outdoor fan failure causes compressor overheating on Georgetown's 100ยฐF days.
Diagnose and repair outdoor condenser fan motor failures, common cause of AC shutdown in peak summer heat.
Replace cracked, bent, or imbalanced outdoor fan blades causing vibration and motor strain.
Capacitors & Contactors
The #1 Georgetown summer repair. Capacitors overheat and fail in sustained 100ยฐF+ heat, fast, affordable fix.
Test capacitors before replacing, an out-of-spec capacitor causes the same symptoms as a failed compressor.
Replace failed run capacitors on compressors and fan motors, the most common summer AC component failure.
Replace start capacitors that provide the extra torque needed to start compressors on hot days.
Install hard start kits on aging compressors to reduce starting current and extend compressor life.
Replace pitted or failed contactors, the relay that connects power to the compressor and condenser fan.
Replace AC contactors with pitted contacts that cause intermittent power to compressor and outdoor fan.
Compressor Service
Diagnose compressor failures, not every compressor problem requires replacement. We test before recommending replacement.
Compressor replacement with full circuit flush, filter drier, evacuation, and recharge, done correctly to protect the new compressor.
Replace discharge mufflers that reduce compressor noise and protect the refrigerant circuit.
Install crankcase heaters to prevent refrigerant migration into compressor oil during cold Texas nights.
Replace failed high-pressure safety switches that protect compressors from dangerously high discharge pressure.
Replace low-pressure safety switches that prevent compressor damage from loss of refrigerant charge.
Furnace Components
Replace failed high-limit switches that shut furnaces down on overheating, essential safety component.
Replace faulty furnace control boards, we test all connected components first to confirm the board is the failure.
Repair or replace fan control switches that govern blower timing in older furnaces without electronic control boards.
Replace fragile silicon carbide or silicon nitride ignitors, the #1 furnace no-heat repair in Georgetown.
Replace or clean flame sensors that fail to detect the burner flame, causing furnace lockout.
Replace failed gas valves that prevent gas flow to burners, verified diagnosis before replacement.
Replace thermocouples on older standing pilot furnaces that fail to keep the pilot lit.
Replace tripped rollout switches, but also diagnose why flames rolled out, as this indicates a serious underlying condition.
Replace failed draft inducer motors in 80%+ efficiency furnaces, failure causes pressure switch trips and no-heat conditions.
Replace failed heating elements in electric furnaces, test all elements and sequencers before partial replacement.
Replace failed sequencers that stagger heating element startup to prevent circuit overload.
Replace cracked or blocked pilot tubing on older standing pilot furnaces and boilers.
Repair standing pilot assembly issues on older furnaces, thermocouple, pilot orifice, and gas valve.
Replace corroded or leaking main gas shutoff valves at HVAC equipment.
Outdoor Unit & Noise Components
Install compressor sound blankets to reduce outdoor unit noise, particularly useful in Georgetown's zero-lot-line neighborhoods.
Replace deteriorated equipment pads and isolation mounts that transmit vibration through slabs and walls.
Servicing the Whole Standing Pilot Assembly
A standing pilot system is the older gas ignition approach found on many furnaces, water heaters, and some boilers still in service around Georgetown, and rather than a single component, it's really an assembly of several parts working together: the pilot burner itself where the small flame burns continuously, the pilot orifice that meters gas flow to that burner, the thermocouple that senses the flame's heat to hold the main gas valve's electromagnet engaged, and the pilot tubing that delivers gas from the main valve to the burner. A standing pilot repair call often requires evaluating the whole assembly together rather than assuming any single part is automatically the culprit.
We start any standing pilot repair with a visual inspection of the flame itself, a healthy standing pilot flame should be a steady blue cone, roughly half to three quarters of an inch tall, fully enveloping the thermocouple tip. A flame that's yellow or orange rather than blue usually indicates a dirty or partially blocked pilot orifice restricting proper air-fuel mixture, while a flame that's too small or positioned away from the thermocouple, even if it's burning blue, won't generate adequate heat to hold the gas valve open reliably.
Drafts are a surprisingly common and frustrating cause of standing pilot problems, air currents from a nearby door, a return air grille positioned too close to the appliance, or even wind infiltration around an older furnace closet door can blow out a marginal pilot flame repeatedly, and this is often mistaken for a component failure when the actual fix is addressing the draft source or adjusting pilot shielding. We check for draft exposure as a standard part of diagnosing any recurring pilot outage before assuming a part has failed.
Beyond draft and orifice cleaning, insect nesting inside the pilot orifice or tubing is common enough in Central Texas that we check for it specifically, along with testing thermocouple millivolt output and inspecting tubing for cracks or kinks as covered in more detail on our dedicated thermocouple and pilot tubing service pages. Because these components interact, a proper standing pilot repair means testing the assembly as a system rather than replacing parts individually on a guess, which both fixes the actual problem faster and avoids paying for parts that were never the real issue.
