Explore our expertise across the most common heating systems used in Arkansas homes:

Gas Furnace Repair & Installation

Gas furnaces are one of the most reliable and cost-effective options for homes connected to a natural gas line. Our licensed technicians specialize in:

• New system installation with proper sizing and ventilation for your home.
• Emergency repairs for common issues 
• Complete furnace replacement for outdated or unsafe units.
• Seasonal tune-ups to keep your system running safely and efficiently.

We work on all major brands and ensure every gas furnace we install is optimized for both performance and energy savings.

Electric Heating Systems

Electric heating systems are ideal in areas without gas service or for homeowners who prefer a simpler setup. BR McGinty provides:

• Professional installation of high-efficiency electric tailored to your square footage and insulation.
• Rapid-response repairs for heating elements, blower motors, and control panels.
• System upgrades to replace aging, energy-wasting equipment with newer, more efficient models.
• Ongoing maintenance to ensure dependable performance through Arkansas’s coldest days.

Electric heat can be a smart, clean option, especially in modern or well-sealed homes where heat retention is strong.

Heat Pump Services

For year-round comfort, a heat pump is hard to beat. These all-in-one systems provide both heating and cooling, making them an efficient choice in Arkansas’s milder winters and hot summers. Our heat pump services include:

• New heat pump installation for existing homes or new construction.
• Diagnosing and repairing system issues like short cycling, frozen coils, or refrigerant leaks.
• Upgrading to high-efficiency inverter-driven systems that adapt output for greater savings.
• Seasonal maintenance to prevent breakdowns and keep performance high.

Whether you’re replacing an outdated HVAC setup or building from the ground up, we’ll help you select the right unit for maximum comfort and cost savings.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems

For homes with no ductwork or areas like bonus rooms, garages, sunrooms, or additions, a ductless mini-split offers flexible and efficient heating. At BR McGinty, we provide:

• Installation of single-zone or multi-zone systems tailored to your space.
• Wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, and floor-level options for discreet installation.
• System maintenance and troubleshooting, including refrigerant checks, sensor calibration, and filter cleaning.
• Energy-efficient upgrades for homeowners looking to reduce reliance on central HVAC.

Mini-splits are a great solution for homes in older Little Rock neighborhoods where retrofitting ductwork isn’t practical or cost-effective. They are whisper-quiet, energy-smart, and offer precision control for each area of your home.

Why Heating Maintenance and Upgrades Matter in Central Arkansas

Winter in Central Arkansas may be shorter than in other parts of the country, but it can still take a toll on your heating system. Cold snaps, icy mornings, and unpredictable temperature swings can push older or neglected systems to the brink. At BR McGinty, we’ve seen firsthand how routine maintenance and smart upgrades can make the difference between a warm home and an unexpected outage.

• Average winter temperatures in Little Rock range from 34°F to 53°F—plenty cold to put your furnace or heat pump to the test.
• Heating season typically runs from November through March, but chilly nights can stretch into early spring.
• Common issues like cracked heat exchangers, pilot light problems, blower motor failures, and leaky ductwork often stem from wear and tear that goes unchecked.
• High-efficiency systems can lower heating bills by as much as 30%, especially in homes with outdated or oversized equipment.

Staying ahead of problems with regular service helps your system run more efficiently, last longer, and avoid costly breakdowns. If it’s time for a tune-up or you’re thinking about upgrading, we’re here to help. 

Heating System FAQs

How quickly can you respond to heating emergencies?

Our office is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and we work hard to respond to heating emergencies as quickly as possible. If you’re experiencing a no-heat situation, call us right away. We prioritize urgent calls and do our best to get a technician out the same day. 

What should I do if my heat goes out in the middle of winter?

Start by checking your thermostat settings, the circuit breaker, and your air filter. A dirty filter or a tripped breaker can cause your system to shut down. If everything looks normal and your system still won’t turn on, give us a call. We’ll help you troubleshoot over the phone and send a tech if you need hands-on support.

Is it better to repair my furnace or replace it?

That depends on the age and condition of your system. If your unit is more than 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or is driving up your energy bills, replacement might be the better long-term investment. We’ll inspect your system and give you straightforward advice so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.

Will installing a new heating system help lower my utility bills?

Yes! Modern high-efficiency systems are designed to use less energy without sacrificing comfort. Many of our customers see a noticeable drop in heating costs after replacing older equipment, especially if their previous system was oversized, outdated, or poorly maintained.

What heating maintenance can I do on my own?

You can stay ahead of common issues by changing your air filter every 1–3 months, keeping outdoor units free of leaves and debris, and making sure your thermostat is working properly. For deeper maintenance, like checking electrical components, cleaning internal parts, or adjusting airflow, our technicians are here to help.
