Most calls we handle are answered the same day, with a written price in your hand before any tool comes out of the truck.

We’re Meadowsweet Heating & Air, led by Luis Serrano, and we treat your floors, your kids’ nap schedule, and your pets the way we’d treat our own. Shoe covers go on at the door. Drop cloths go down before the service panel opens. You get a photo of the clean-up before the crew pulls away.
Why Meadowsweet Heating & Air Is Arlington’s Preferred Furnace Repair Company
Arlington is a town where a lot of homes were built fast during the suburban boom years, and the furnaces inside them are now forty to sixty years old. That means the job in front of us is rarely just a dead ignitor or a bad gas valve. It’s often a duct system losing conditioned air before it reaches the bedroom, or a return too small for the equipment it feeds. We know to look for those things first because we see them constantly in Arlington homes.
Our Furnace Repair team carries parts for Trane, Lennox, and Goodman systems on the truck, so we don’t burn a day running to a supply house. Every tech is background-checked and uniformed, and they follow the C.A.R.E. values on every job: Clean up like it’s their own home, Ask before moving anything, Respect your family’s time, Explain the price before the work. Luis Serrano holds the crew to that standard personally.
We also back every repair with the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it isn’t right, we make it right. No runaround. No fine print. That’s the Cedarwell Care Promise, and it’s been the operating rule since 2004.
Heat Pump Repair in Arlington
Heat pump repair in Arlington lands in the $150-$700 range for most jobs, and it’s work we do constantly in the cooler months. A heat pump that runs in heating mode all winter will show failures differently than a gas furnace, and Arlington’s damp, cold-season air means defrost boards and reversing valves get a real workout. If the outdoor unit is iced over or the system blows lukewarm air, the issue is usually the defrost cycle or a stuck reversing valve. You’ll want a tech who can diagnose the electrical side and measure refrigerant pressures, not guess at it.
Reversing Valve and Defrost Failures
When the reversing valve sticks halfway, the system can’t decide between heating and cooling. That’s a specific, repairable fault. When the defrost control fails in cold wet weather, the coil freezes solid and the compressor strains against it. We check both whenever a heat pump in Arlington starts acting confused.
What Same-Day Heat Pump Repair Costs
Diagnostic and minor repair work on a heat pump’s electrical controls lands near the low end of that $150-$700 range. A reversing valve replacement sits higher. That’s why we hand you a written price before any work starts, so nothing rides on a guess.
Heating Repair in Arlington
Heating repair in Arlington is the core of our busy season, and it’s work where the range matters: $150 covers a diagnostic with a small repair on a basic system, while $700 reflects a full blower motor replacement or gas valve on a dual-stage furnace. A furnace that won’t ignite, won’t stay lit, or cycles on and off every few minutes usually has a fixable fault, and most are done in one visit. When the heat is out and kids are home, that speed matters.
Ignitor, Flame Sensor, and Gas Valve Work
Most no-heat calls in Arlington come down to three parts: a cracked ignitor, a flame sensor coated with oxidation, or a gas valve that won’t open reliably. These aren’t mysteries. They’re specific, replaceable components, and we stock the common ones so the repair happens today, not next week.
Blower Motor and Control Board Failures
When the burners fire but the blower doesn’t spin, or the blower runs constantly and never shuts off, the motor or the control board has failed. These jobs involve electrical work inside the cabinet, and they’re real repairs, not tune-up items. We quote the exact replacement before we touch anything.
Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington
We service Rheem, Trane, Lennox, and Goodman furnaces across Arlington, and the trucks run stocked for the brands we see most. That means fewer second trips for parts on a no-heat call. Whether your system was installed in the 1970s or replaced just a few winters ago, we diagnose it against the manufacturer’s sequence of operation, not against what “usually” fails. If you’re in an older Arlington neighborhood with original equipment, we’ll tell you plainly what should be repaired and what’s reaching the end of its service life.
Common Furnace Repair Problems We See in Arlington Homes
- Delaminated fiberglass duct board in hot attics. Arlington summer attics regularly pass 150°F, which is the rated upper limit for old duct board. When it delaminates and collapses, the furnace starves for airflow, soots the heat exchanger, and the homeowner thinks the furnace is dying when the ducts are the real failure.
- Clay soil shifting duct boot connections. Arlington sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons. Supply runs pull loose from their boots, and heated air dumps into the crawlspace instead of the far bedroom. The thermostat never sees it because it’s in the hallway.
- Undersized returns on 1960s and 1970s systems. Those older tract homes were engineered for furnaces that moved less air. Put a modern unit on the same return and static pressure climbs, the system short-cycles, and the box never delivers its rated output.
- Ignitors and flame sensors failing during February cold snaps. When Arlington’s damp winter air sits around freezing, furnaces cycle more and the hot-surface ignitors crack. It’s a predictable seasonal failure, and it’s one of the first things we check on a no-heat call.

FAQs About Furnace Repair in Arlington
Yes. Arlington operates as a fully independent municipality between Dallas and Fort Worth with its own building and permitting department, so every HVAC replacement job requires an Arlington-issued permit and city inspection. Repairs generally don’t need a permit, but a full furnace replacement absolutely does. The inspection doesn’t just look at the equipment; it can pull duct leakage and return sizing into scope, which is why older Arlington homes need a contractor who understands the local permit process, not just the equipment. Call (747) 966-3037 and we’ll walk you through what your specific job requires.
Often it’s the ducts. On a 1972 single-story brick ranch off South Collins Street, our tech found the original fiberglass duct board delaminated and partly collapsed in an attic sitting past 150°F, and the furnace’s heat exchanger was sooted from years of choked airflow. We measured static pressure, found the return undersized for the new equipment the homeowner wanted, and before quoting a swap we fixed the return and rebuilt the collapsed trunk. The homeowner had been blaming “an old furnace” for 30-40% air loss that was really duct failure. If your furnace trips on high limit, airflow is the first suspect in an older Arlington home.
You can, but in Arlington’s 1960s-to-1980s housing stock it often disappoints. Those systems were engineered for equipment that moved less air, and a like-for-like tonnage swap on the original ductboard and undersized returns pushes static pressure past the new furnace’s rated range. The result is short cycling, higher temperature rise than the spec allows, and a unit that never delivers its box rating. A proper replacement checks the ducts and returns first. That’s the difference between a quote and a fix.
The February 2021 freeze disabled heat pumps and damaged refrigerant lines across thousands of North Texas homes, but in Arlington specifically it also stressed already-weak duct connections on clay-shifted foundations. When supply runs separate at the boot, heated air never reaches the far rooms, the thermostat sees a false temperature, and the furnace short-cycles. If the freeze exposed a weakness, it’s usually still there until someone measures the static pressure and checks the boots. We do both on every Arlington no-heat call.
Furnace repair in Arlington runs $150-$700, with most common fixes landing in the lower half of that range. A tune-up sits at $80-$200. The free estimate gives you the exact number before work begins, so call (747) 966-3037 and we’ll quote it from the symptoms you describe and what we find on site.
