Call (832) 662-4107
The fastest way to reach a local heating and air company. The call is free, and an automated assistant answers around the clock.
The assistant starts by asking what you need help with. Say it is about heating or cooling, answer two or three quick questions, and the call is handed to a locally owned HVAC business near you that operates on its own, apart from the line. If no one there can answer, your name, callback number, area and problem are passed along so the company can call you back.

What to tell the assistant
Plain words are fine, on the phone or in the form. A few specifics help the company you reach understand the problem before it says hello:

- Heating or cooling. Say which system is giving you trouble.
- Where you are. Your town or ZIP code, such as Pearland, Katy or a Houston ZIP, which steers the call to a nearby company.
- What you notice. Something like "warm air from the vents since last night," "water dripping from the closet where the indoor unit is," or "the heat pump runs but the house stays cold."
- A number you will answer. If the company calls back, it will use this number.
Before you dial, the quick checks are worth two minutes: thermostat mode and batteries, the air filter, and a tripped breaker (reset it once only). The AC not cooling guide and the furnace repair page explain each one. If you can see the label on the outdoor unit or furnace, the brand and age are handy to mention too.
Call 911 first in these three situations
You smell gas
Leave the home right away and bring everyone with you. Do not touch light switches, use a phone or start a car while you are inside or close by, since a spark can ignite gas. From a safe distance, call 911 and the gas company. CenterPoint Energy, the gas company in Houston, lists 888-876-5786 to report a gas leak. If another company bills you for gas, use the emergency number on that bill.
The carbon monoxide alarm sounds
Do not look for the cause. Move everyone outside into fresh air and call 911. Carbon monoxide cannot be seen or smelled. Stay out until responders clear the house, and keep the suspected appliance off until a qualified technician has inspected it.
Someone is overheating
Confusion, fainting, or a body temperature of 103 degrees or higher can mean heat stroke, which the CDC calls a medical emergency. Call 911, move the person somewhere cooler and cool them with wet cloths. The air conditioner can wait a few minutes.
A question about a job that is finished
Houston Air & Heating does not visit, quote, repair or invoice, so it has no record of the work itself. Ask the business you hired about its repair, install, warranty or invoice. That company's name and phone number should be on your quote or receipt, and so should its TDLR license number if you asked for it.

When a disagreement with an air conditioning contractor in Texas stays unresolved, the state licensing agency, TDLR, accepts complaints through the online complaint system on its website, tdlr.texas.gov. TDLR says help with filing online is available from its customer service line at 1-800-803-9202, and that a complaint must be filed within two years of the event. Include the contractor's name and license number, the dates and what happened.
Verify the license before work begins. Texas requires anyone contracting to do air conditioning, refrigeration or heating work to hold an Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (ACR) Contractor license from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Ask the company for its ACR license number, then confirm it on the TDLR license search (opens in a new tab). The line does not check this for you.
Privacy
What you tell the assistant, or send in the form, is shared with the HVAC company your request is sent to, so it can follow up on your problem. Read the privacy policy for what is kept and why, and the terms of use explain the service. For the full call flow, read how the free line works, or browse the FAQ.
