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 Little Rock, AR: local data & sources
Every numerical claim below references a federal, state, or municipal primary source — NOAA climate normals, U.S. Census ACS, the Arkansas licensing authority, and your local utility's published rebate program.
NOAA NCEI 1991–2020 Normals
Clinton National Airport (KLIT) is the official NOAA reference station for Little Rock. Per the NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991–2020 (station USW00013963), Little Rock records an annual mean temperature of 61.7°F, an average annual maximum of 72.3°F against an annual minimum of 51.1°F, approximately 3,164.8 annual heating degree days against 1,988.9 cooling degree days, an annual precipitation normal of 50.42 inches, and an annual snowfall normal of 3.8 inches. The roughly 1.6:1 HDD-to-CDD ratio reflects a genuine dual-load climate — meaningful heating and cooling demand throughout the year, with 50 inches of precipitation driving significant summer humidity loads.
U.S. Census ACS 2023 5-Year
The U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2023 5-year estimates (Tables B25040 and B25035 for Little Rock city, Arkansas) report 86,853 occupied housing units with a median year built of 1978. Heating-fuel distribution: 50.7% utility natural gas (44,056 units), 47.4% electricity (41,131 units), and 856 on bottled/tank/LP gas. The near-even 50/50 gas-to-electric split is notable — reflecting the transitional climate zone where both gas furnaces and heat pumps are competitive primary heating systems.
