Your system in Wagoner County runs almost year round
Your furnace works October through April, and your air conditioner takes over May through September. That leaves almost no season off. Winter nights average 30°F, cold enough that the burner cycles on and off for hours at a stretch, and each start puts wear on the igniter. Summer afternoons average 91°F, and that kind of heat keeps the compressor running long stretches to keep up, which wears on the capacitor and the contactor.
Wagoner County has seen 84 damaging wind events and 8 winter storms over the past ten years. Storms like these knock out power, and a quarter of Oklahoma households lost power for 24 hours or more in 2024. When the power comes back, most systems restart on their own, but a furnace or air conditioner that does not turn back on may have a problem that started before the outage.

A new furnace and air conditioner would cut about $150 a year off heating and cooling for a typical Wagoner County home.
Estimates for a typical Wagoner County home, compared with an older unit built to the previous federal minimum, from EIA household energy data, Oklahoma fuel prices and NOAA climate normals. Your home will differ.
Repair makes sense when one part has failed.
Replacement makes sense when the furnace's heat exchanger is cracked, the air conditioner's compressor has failed, or repairs keep coming.
Oklahoma requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
The Construction Industries Board licenses the contractor, not the job. That means the board has tested this contractor and keeps a record of them, and that record covers every repair they do, not just this one.
For a repair on a heating and cooling system, that license is what stands behind the work. The board is the record to check if something goes wrong, and the contractor answers to it for repairs like this one as much as for any other job they take on.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Start with the thermostat. Make sure it is set to heat and set above the room temperature, since a thermostat left on a schedule from warmer weather will just sit there. If that is not it, check the breaker and any switch near the furnace, since a tripped breaker or a switch bumped off will stop it cold. If the furnace runs but no warm air comes out, or it clicks and won't stay lit, that points to the igniter or the flame sensor, and that is a repair for a licensed contractor. Oklahoma requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license for exactly this kind of work.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- Check the air filter first. A filter clogged with dust chokes off airflow, and the system will run and run while the house barely cools. Next, look at the outdoor unit. If leaves, grass clippings, or a summer's worth of dirt are packed against the coil, the unit cannot shed heat and the air coming inside will be barely cool. If the filter is clean and the outdoor unit is clear but the house still is not cooling, the problem is likely inside the system, low refrigerant or a failing part, and that needs a licensed contractor to diagnose.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat settings and batteries first. Then check the breaker panel for anything tripped, and look for a power switch near the furnace or air handler that may have been switched off. Check the air filter and replace it if it is dirty, since that alone causes a lot of the calls that turn out to be nothing more. Write down anything the system is doing, like a smell, a sound, or a specific error code on the thermostat, since that will help the contractor figure out the problem faster once they get there.
