AfterFast, Reliable Furnace Repair Across Cibolo
Most furnace repairs in Cibolo run between $150 and $700 depending on the part that failed, and Dalton Heating & Air gets a factory-trained technician to your door the same day you call. We work on gas furnaces, heat pumps, and the mixed-fuel setups common across Cibolo’s newer subdivisions, where a single street can have both systems.

Cibolo sits in a unique spot for HVAC work. Homes here don’t all heat the same way, and a technician who assumes one system type will misdiagnose the other. That’s why our crews know the difference between a gas furnace tripping its high-limit switch and a heat pump stuck in auxiliary heat. We’re not guessing. We’re diagnosing.

Why Dalton Heating & Air Is Cibolo’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
Homeowners in Cibolo call us after they’ve been burned by a no-show or a price that changed at the door. We don’t work that way. Dalton Heating & Air is a Garrison Partners company founded in 2003, and every job follows The Garrison Standard: arrive inside the stated window, put the price in writing before starting, do the work by the book, leave the site clean, and stand behind the repair for a full year.
Marco Benitez leads our team, and he holds every technician to The Garrison Code. That means background-checked, uniformed techs on every call. You know who is coming before they arrive. No subcontractor roulette.
When a Cibolo homeowner calls with no heat, we treat it as urgent. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from the brand’s San Antonio office, and crews serve Cibolo locally, so response times are measured in hours, not days. Our Furnace Repair team carries common parts on the truck, which means fewer return trips and faster fixes.
Written pricing is not an upgrade or a courtesy. It’s how we work. The quote you approve is the price you pay. That’s non-negotiable at Dalton Heating & Air, and it applies to every single job in Cibolo.
Gas Furnace Repair in Cibolo
Gas Furnace Repair in Cibolo means diagnosing and fixing the components that produce and distribute heat: the ignitor, flame sensor, gas valve, heat exchanger, blower motor, and control board. A typical call here starts around $150 for a basic sensor or ignitor swap and can reach $700 for a blower motor replacement or heat exchanger repair. The job begins with a full diagnostic, not a guess.
Cibolo’s humid summers are hard on furnace electronics. Condensation and corrosion build up inside the cabinet while the system sits idle, and by the time the first cold snap hits, weak contacts and oxidized terminals cause intermittent failures. Homeowners often report the furnace worked fine last winter, then won’t light this year. That’s a corrosion pattern we see regularly in Cibolo, and it usually points to a failed ignitor or a dirty flame sensor.
Short Cycling and Tripped Limits
When a gas furnace fires up and shuts down every ten or fifteen minutes, the high-limit switch is doing its job: preventing overheating. The cause is often restricted airflow from a clogged filter, a failing blower motor, or a run capacitor that’s lost its strength. We diagnose the airflow first, because replacing a limit switch without fixing the restriction just makes the next failure louder.
Ignition and Flame Sensor Failures
Cibolo’s spring cedar and oak season pulls dust and pollen into return ducts, and that debris lands on flame sensors. A coated sensor can’t read the flame, so the furnace locks out. The fix is usually a cleaning and a sensor calibration, but if the sensor is pitted or cracked, replacement is the honest repair. Either way, we show you the part and explain what failed.
Furnace Tune Up in Cibolo
A Furnace Tune Up in Cibolo costs $80 to $200 and includes a combustion check, a flame sensor cleaning, blower motor inspection, electrical connection tightening, and a filter review. We run the furnace through a full heating cycle and record the readings, then hand you a written report of what we found. If we find a failing component, we quote a repair price in writing before doing anything else.
Cibolo’s mild winters mean furnaces often sit unused for weeks at a time, and that’s exactly when corrosion and dust accumulate. A tune-up in October catches the weak capacitor before it strands you on the first cold night. It’s not a luxury; it’s a pre-season check that sees what the summer did to your system.
Combustion and Safety Inspections
We check the burner flame, the heat exchanger for visible cracks or rust, and the flue for proper venting. Carbon monoxide is a real risk with gas furnaces, and a cracked heat exchanger can leak exhaust into the house. We flag any safety issue immediately and give you a clear recommendation, not a scare tactic.
Airflow and Duct Assessment
We test static pressure and verify the blower motor is moving the right amount of air for the system’s size. In Cibolo homes where the original furnace was installed without a proper load calculation, the ductwork is often undersized, and that shows up as noisy airflow, hot spots, and shortened equipment life. We document what we see and explain what it means for your system.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
Dalton Heating & Air is factory-trained to service nine major HVAC brands, and in Cibolo we see a lot of Trane, Lennox, Goodman, and Rheem furnaces. Each brand has its own control-board logic, ignitor design, and flame sensor positioning, and a generic technician can misdiagnose a brand-specific fault. Our techs know the differences. We keep common parts for these four brands stocked for Cibolo customers, which means a faster repair and fewer days without heat. If your furnace is a Carrier, York, Daikin, Bryant, or American Standard, we service those too.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Corroded electrical contacts after humid summers. Cibolo’s summer humidity settles inside furnace cabinets, and by winter, oxidized terminals cause intermittent heat, short cycling, or a furnace that won’t light at all. We’ll hear “it worked last year” on half our calls.
- Short cycling from oversized equipment. Many Cibolo homes got builder-grade furnaces installed without a proper load calculation. The equipment is too big for the house, so it fires, overshoots, and shuts down. That cycle stresses the heat exchanger and shortens the system’s life.
- Lockouts from dust and pollen on the flame sensor. Spring cedar and oak pollen finds its way into return ducts. When that dust settles on the flame sensor, the furnace locks out. Homeowners mistake it for a dead furnace, when the fix is often a cleaning.
- Blower motor and capacitor failure. The run capacitor is the first thing to go in a furnace that’s been sitting through a humid summer. When the blower motor won’t start or runs slowly, the furnace overheats and trips the limit. We replace capacitors with parts rated for high-humidity climates, not the cheapest option on the shelf.
We got a call from a homeowner in the Turning Stone neighborhood whose Carrier gas furnace was short-cycling and tripping its high-limit switch every 10 – 15 minutes. Our tech pulled the blower motor, found a weak run capacitor and a heat exchanger coated in dust from a clogged filter, then did a static pressure test that showed the return duct was undersized for the system’s tonnage. After cleaning the exchanger, replacing the capacitor, and resetting airflow, the furnace held steady through a full heat cycle, and we walked the homeowner through why the original install never matched the ductwork. That’s a Cibolo pattern we see often: the equipment is fine, but the install was wrong from the start.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Cibolo
Short cycling means the furnace fires up, runs for ten to fifteen minutes, then shuts down before the house reaches the set temperature. The most common causes in Cibolo are a clogged filter, a weak blower motor run capacitor, or an oversized furnace that was installed without a load calculation. We diagnose the airflow first, because replacing the thermostat won’t fix any of those problems. Call (361) 306-9515 and we’ll find the actual cause, not just reset the system.
No, and here’s why: the mild weather doesn’t protect your furnace, it just hides the problem until you actually need heat. Cibolo’s humid summers corrode electrical contacts and dust accumulates on the flame sensor, and a tune-up catches those before the first cold snap. The $80 – $200 tune-up is cheaper than an emergency repair on the one cold night you can’t ignore. Skipping it is a bet against your own equipment, and the house always loses that bet.
The one that’s broken. We see a lot of mixed-fuel setups in Cibolo, where a gas furnace handles the cold nights and a heat pump handles the mild winter days. A proper diagnostic identifies which system is actually failing, because the symptoms overlap: a heat pump stuck in auxiliary heat can look like a furnace problem, and a gas furnace that won’t light can look like a heat pump issue. We diagnose both systems and repair what’s actually failed, not what’s easiest to fix. Call (361) 306-9515 for a straight answer.
Here’s the honest math: if the furnace is under 12 years old and the repair is under $700, repair it. If the heat exchanger is cracked or the system is over 15 years old and needs a major component, replacement starts to make sense. In Cibolo, where many homes have oversized builder-grade furnaces, a load calculation often shows that a replacement should be smaller and more efficient than the original. We’ll show you the numbers for both paths, in writing, before you decide. Call (361) 306-9515 and we’ll walk you through the repair-versus-replace math for your specific system.
Furnace repair in Cibolo runs $150 – $700, and the price is driven by the part and the labor to access it. A flame sensor cleaning or ignitor replacement sits at the low end. A blower motor replacement, control board swap, or heat exchanger repair sits at the high end. You’ll see the exact price in writing before any work begins, and that price is final. If the repair fails within a year, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (361) 306-9515 for a free estimate.
Cibolo sits in a transition zone where winter hard freezes like the February 2021 event pushed many gas furnaces into emergency service, while the same homes run heat pumps in mild winters. That means furnace repair calls here often involve both fuel types on the same street, requiring techs to diagnose gas heat and heat pump auxiliary/defrost controls depending on the house. A Cibolo furnace repair can’t assume one system type the way a purely gas-heated northern suburb or an all-electric Sun Belt city would. When you call Dalton Heating & Air, you get a technician who diagnoses what’s actually in your home, not what’s most common somewhere else.
If your furnace is acting up in Cibolo, call (361) 306-9515 now. You’ll talk to a real person, get a straight answer, and we’ll send a background-checked, factory-trained technician to your door with the parts to fix it. The price is in writing before any work starts, and the repair is guaranteed for a full year.
