Whole-home heating in Texas
Texas homes switch between heating and cooling within the same week, which is hard on thermostats and dual-fuel controls. Many cold-room complaints here come from duct systems designed for summer cooling, not winter heating.
Common heating fuels here: electricity, natural gas. Electric baseboard and wall heaters and heat pumps are part of the mix, so breaker, element and line-voltage thermostat problems are common calls.
Rare but severe freezes, like February 2021, can overwhelm homes and grids built mainly for cooling. A whole-home check covers the thermostat, the heat source, ducts and returns, so the fix reaches the rooms that are actually cold.
