Propane furnaces are common here
19% of homes in 78953 heat with propane and 72% with electricity; none report piped natural gas. A propane furnace runs the same ignition sequence as a gas furnace, with a tank and a regulator added.
When the tank runs dry. Air gets into the line and the pilot or burner will not stay lit. The propane supplier refills the tank and may require a leak check first on a system that ran out, so call them before the contractor. If the furnace still locks out after that, it is a contractor call.
When the furnace lights and drops out. Usually a dirty flame sensor, the most common first-cold-morning failure on gas and propane furnaces alike.
If you smell gas anywhere in the house, leave and call 911 or your propane supplier from outside before anything else.
Older houses, manufactured homes
The median home here was built in 1991, and 36% predate 1980. A third of all housing is manufactured homes, which take a downflow closet unit or a package unit outside and replacement equipment listed for manufactured homes.
Older site-built farmhouses often have ductwork added in stages, and a room at the far end that never cools usually points at the duct, not the AC.
Summer on the river side
The NOAA station at Smithville, about the same distance from Rosanky as Bastrop is, records about 124 days a year at 90°F or above and an average August high of 97.0°F. Outdoor units here face the same long season as in town, with longer drives for anyone coming out to them.
Access
Say how to reach the house: the road, the gate, the drive, and where the outdoor unit or package unit stands. For a manufactured home, mention whether the skirting has an access panel.
What to say when you call
- Propane, electric or heat pump
- Site-built or manufactured, and roughly how old

- The drive, the gate and the unit location
Questions from 78953
The propane furnace is old. Replace it with the same? Propane to propane keeps the flue and the gas line; a heat pump is an alternative in an electric-ready house. A contractor can compare both.
Does the county require a permit? Bastrop County does not issue building permits outside city limits. Ask the contractor what applies at your address.
Know the symptom and the install year? That is enough to start. Ask whether a contractor is taking calls in your ZIP code today.
