AC out, blowing warm, or iced over
Outdoor unit silent · indoor blower running but warm air · ice on the refrigerant lines · short-cycling on/off. Possible causes range from electrical parts (capacitor, contactor) to a refrigerant problem — both need a technician to diagnose.
Furnace not igniting or blowing cold
Furnace won't ignite · blowing cold air · short-cycling · burning smell on first startup. If you smell gas, leave the building right away without flipping switches or using phones inside, then call 911 or your gas utility’s emergency line from outside.
Banging, screaming, or grinding outdoor unit
Loud bangs · metal-on-metal screaming · grinding or rattling from the outdoor unit. Possible causes include a failing fan motor, a loose blower wheel, or worn compressor bearings. Turn the system off at the thermostat and call a technician.

HVAC in Fort Worth, TX: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the Texas licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (KFTW) is the dedicated NOAA reference station for Fort Worth; our Dallas page uses Dallas Love Field. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020 (station USW00013961), Fort Worth records an annual mean temperature of 65.9°F, approximately 2,693.2 annual cooling degree days against 2,341.6 heating degree days, and 35.34 inches of annual precipitation. The 1.2:1 CDD-to-HDD ratio is more balanced than Dallas’s 1.6:1 — the Meacham station records modestly cooler winters and a smaller cooling load than Dallas Love Field.
Fort Worth shares the DFW metroplex’s severe-weather exposure. Per the NOAA National Weather Service Fort Worth/Dallas Tornado Climatology, North and Central Texas averages 26 tornadoes per year, with April and May each averaging 7 tornadoes. Outdoor condenser units benefit from impact-resistant hail guards and properly engineered wind-load tie-downs. On the cooling side, the 2,693 annual CDD and humid summers make oversized AC sizing a common pitfall. Per ENERGY STAR’s right-sized air conditioner fact sheet, oversized units “short-cycle,” and “short operation times do not allow the system to effectively remove humidity”; right-sized units “provide better dehumidification.”
U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040 and B25035 for Fort Worth city, Texas) report 334,230 occupied housing units with a median year built of 1992. Heating-fuel distribution: 69.1% electricity (230,951 units), 28.9% utility natural gas (96,563 units), and 3,025 bottled/LP gas homes. Fort Worth’s electric-heat share is higher than Dallas’s 65.2% and its median year built (1992) is a decade newer than Dallas’s (1980), reflecting the city’s faster post-1990s growth into master-planned subdivisions that default to central heat pumps.
