HVAC Repair & Heating Service in Heath, TX
Heath sits on the east shore of Lake Ray Hubbard, between Rockwall to the north and Forney to the south, and most of the city is in Rockwall County with a small piece in Kaufman County. It's grown steadily, from 6,921 residents in 2010 to 9,769 in the 2020 Census. Many homes here are large, with long duct runs and more than one system, so when heat or cooling quits, getting the right contractor the first time matters.
Forney HVAC Pros is a free matching service, not an HVAC contractor. We don't send technicians or do repairs. Tell us what's going on and we match you with one vetted, TDLR-licensed contractor whose own website lists Heath as a service area. You never pay us. Contractors pay us a referral fee.

No heat right now? Do these first
If you smell gas (rotten eggs): don't touch the thermostat or light switches, and don't use your phone inside. Get everyone out, then call 911 and Atmos Energy's 24-hour emergency line, 866-322-8667, from outside. The City of Heath lists Atmos Energy as the area's natural gas provider. Have a contractor look at the furnace only after the gas utility says it's safe.
If your carbon monoxide alarm goes off: get everyone outside and call 911. Don't go back in to “check the furnace.”
If the whole house lost power: that's an outage, not your HVAC. The City of Heath lists Oncor as the electric delivery company. Oncor handles lines and outages even though your bill comes from a retail provider: 888-313-4747, 24/7. If your bill comes from an electric co-op, call the co-op's outage line.
If it's just the heat, try these safe checks before booking a service call:
- Thermostat. Mode on HEAT, setpoint a few degrees above room temperature, fan on AUTO. Swap the batteries if the screen is dim or blank. Homes with two systems have two thermostats, so check the one for the zone that's cold.
- Air filter. A clogged filter can trip a furnace's high-limit safety or make a heat pump struggle. Replace it if you can't see light through it.
- Breakers and the furnace switch. Check the breaker for the furnace or air handler (and the heat strips on all-electric homes), plus the light-switch-style power switch on or near the furnace. Reset a tripped breaker once. If it trips again, stop and call a pro.
- Furnace door. Many furnaces won't run unless the front panel is seated firmly; a safety switch keeps them off.
- Outdoor unit (heat pumps). Light frost that comes and goes is normal, and so is a little steam during defrost. A unit locked in solid ice isn't. Don't chip at it.

It also does plumbing and electrical, which helps when a heating problem turns out to be a breaker or wiring issue. TDLR A/C contractor license TACLB121002E (active, expires 06/08/2027). Read our vetting report.
Cool Casa Heating & Air Conditioning: family-owned, based in Royse City, and its homepage lists Heath among the communities it serves, alongside Rockwall, Fate, and Rowlett. TDLR A/C contractor license TACLB72987E (active, expires 05/24/2027). Read our vetting report.
Infinity Texas Air: based in Forney, with a Heath service page and Heath on its service-area list. Its phones are answered 24/7, but its site says it doesn't dispatch technicians after hours; it schedules the next available visit. TDLR A/C contractor license TACLB26771E (active, expires 11/15/2027). Read our vetting report.
MHC Air Services: a family business since 1976 with a Heath service-area page; its site lists 7-day service and 24/7 emergency service, for homes and commercial buildings.

We match you with one of them based on your problem, your system type, and timing (for example, a true middle-of-the-night emergency goes to a contractor that dispatches after hours). Your number isn't sold to a dozen companies.

Replacing a system in Heath? Know the permit rule
The City of Heath requires a permit for “miscellaneous plumbing, electrical or mechanical work,” and HVAC equipment is mechanical work. The city says work started without a permit can bring fines of up to $500. Contractors must register with the city before they can pull permits or schedule inspections, and the registration form asks for their trade license and proof of general liability insurance.
In practice, that means:
- Your contractor should pull the permit, not you. Ask, “Will you pull the City of Heath mechanical permit?” A hesitant answer is a red flag.
- The permit and the TDLR license should match the company you hired. Check the license with our TDLR license lookup.
- Questions? City of Heath Community Development: 972-961-4883.
Heath currently builds to the 2021 International codes (including the Mechanical, Fuel Gas, and Energy Conservation codes) with North Central Texas Council of Governments amendments, effective October 1, 2024.
What will it cost?
Prices depend on your system type and size, the brand, and what's actually wrong, and bigger Heath homes often have two systems. We don't publish one-size-fits-all numbers on this page. Use the cost estimator for a local range, then get matched for an exact quote. For deeper detail, see our AC repair cost guide and 2026 new-system price guide.
Red flags in a Heath HVAC quote
- No TDLR license number on the quote, truck, or website (Texas requires it).
- “We don't need a permit for a swap-out.” In Heath, mechanical work needs a permit.
- Pressure to replace on the spot when you haven't had a diagnosis.
- A replacement quote that doesn't say the equipment size, efficiency rating, and what's included (removal, thermostat, permit).
