With a significant winter storm and extended cold expected to settle over North Texas starting Friday afternoon, local HVAC professionals are urging residents to prepare now.
Varsity Zone HVAC is reminding homeowners that older heat pump systems can struggle during prolonged cold snaps, especially when freezing rain is in the forecast.
When ice builds up on outdoor fan blades, running the system as usual can cause serious damage. The simple fix is to switch your thermostat to Emergency Heat and avoid using the outdoor unit until conditions improve. This step helps protect the fan motor, blades, and other key components from costly repairs.
Whether your home uses a heat pump or a gas furnace, routine maintenance plays a major role in keeping systems running safely and efficiently during extreme weather. For those with concerns before temperatures drop, Varsity Zone HVAC can inspect systems and ensure everything is ready for the cold.
As Benbrook braces for the weekend weather, a little preparation now can go a long way toward staying warm and safe and avoiding unexpected breakdowns.
