Heating Service in Wichita Falls

“Yes — heat pumps are very efficient, especially here in North Texas where winters are mild. A quality heat pump can both heat and cool your home while using far less energy than traditional electric or gas systems.

Instead of creating heat, a heat pump simply moves heat between indoors and outdoors, which means you’ll save money year-round. Modern models are quieter, more reliable, and better suited to our local climate than ever before.

Whether switching makes sense depends on your home’s setup. If you’re replacing an older furnace or installing a new system, a high-efficiency heat pump can be a smart investment.
At Mike Graham Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we take time to look at your home’s insulation, ductwork, and energy use so you get honest advice about what will save you the most in the long run.

💡 Bonus Tip: Many local utility companies offer rebates and incentives to make this efficiency upgrade even more affordable — ask us about current programs when you schedule your estimate.

“The cost to install or replace a heating system can vary quite a bit depending on the size of your home, the type of system you choose, and how efficient you want it to be.

Most homes in our area can expect to spend anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 for a complete replacement — including equipment, installation, and materials. Smaller systems or straightforward swaps may come in lower, while high-efficiency or multi-zone systems can run higher.

Every home is different, so we always like to start with a free in-home estimate. That way, we can look at your current setup, measure the space, and give you honest options that fit your budget and comfort needs.

We also offer financing and maintenance plans to make it easier to manage the investment and protect your new system for years to come.”

“The right-sized heating system makes all the difference in comfort and efficiency. A unit that’s too small will struggle to keep up on cold days, and one that’s too big will cycle on and off too often, wasting energy and wearing out faster.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer because every home is different — things like your home’s square footage, insulation, window quality, ceiling height, and even how much sunlight you get all play a role.

That’s why we always start with a professional load calculation before recommending a furnace or heat pump. It takes the guesswork out and ensures your system is matched perfectly to your home and lifestyle.

If you’re thinking about replacing or upgrading your system, give us a call and we’ll size it right the first time. A properly sized system keeps you more comfortable, lowers energy bills, and helps your equipment last longer.”

Short answer

“There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to heating systems. The right furnace or heat pump depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, window quality, and even ceiling height.

A unit that’s too small will struggle to keep up, and one that’s too big will short-cycle and waste energy. That’s why we always start with a professional load calculation to size your system correctly.

Getting it right the first time means better comfort, lower energy bills, and a system that lasts longer.”

If your heating system isn’t warming your home properly or it’s taking too long to reach the set temperature, there are a few common reasons:

1. Dirty air filter – A clogged filter restricts airflow and makes your system work harder, reducing heat output.
2. Thermostat issues – Incorrect settings or a malfunctioning thermostat can keep your system from running when it should.
3. Blocked or leaking ductwork – Leaks or obstructions in your ducts let warm air escape before it reaches your rooms.
4. Low refrigerant or fuel supply – Heat pumps and gas furnaces both need the proper levels to operate efficiently.
5. System size or age – An undersized or older system might struggle to heat your home evenly or maintain temperature.

At Mike Graham Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we start by checking these key areas to find the cause and get your system heating like it should. A quick inspection and filter change can often solve the problem — and regular maintenance keeps small issues from turning into expensive repairs.

✅ Pro tip from Mike:

“If your heater is running nonstop and still not keeping up, it’s time to give us a call. Sometimes it’s a simple fix, but catching it early saves you from bigger headaches later.”

For most homes, the type and size of your filter determine how often it should be changed.
Here’s a good rule of thumb we tell our customers:

• 1-inch filters: change every month
• 2-inch filters: change every 2–3 months
• 4–5-inch filters: can often last up to 6 months

If you have pets, allergies, or anyone with breathing issues, check the filter more often.

Keeping a clean filter lets your system breathe easier, cool faster, and use less energy.
It’s just as important to use the right type of filter — one that’s efficient without being so restrictive that it strains the blower motor.

When in doubt, give us a call. We’ll help you choose the best filter for your setup and remind you when it’s time for a change.
