Heating Installation FAQs

It depends on your home and priorities. Heat pumps are extremely efficient for heating in mild climates like Central Texas and also provide cooling, making them a versatile two-in-one solution. Gas furnaces deliver stronger heat output for the coldest days. Many homeowners are choosing dual-fuel systems that combine both—the heat pump handles most of the winter, and the furnace kicks in only when temperatures drop significantly.

A gas furnace typically lasts 15-20 years, while heat pumps average 12-15 years. Proper sizing, quality installation, and regular maintenance are the biggest factors in how long your system will last. We ensure every installation is done right the first time, with proper airflow, gas connections, and safety testing to maximize the life and performance of your new system.

Often, yes. Manufacturers and some utilities offer rebates on high-efficiency heating equipment, especially heat pumps, and the programs change from year to year. During the consultation we check what's currently available for your equipment and utility and include it in your quote.

Just like AC, proper sizing is critical. We perform a detailed load calculation that accounts for your home's square footage, insulation levels, window types, ceiling heights, and local climate data. An oversized heater short-cycles and creates uncomfortable temperature swings, while an undersized unit runs constantly and never reaches your desired temperature. We get the sizing right so your home stays comfortable and efficient.

A standard furnace replacement typically takes one day. If we're installing a complete system change—like switching from a furnace to a heat pump, or adding a dual-fuel system—it may take one to two days depending on the scope of work. We handle all the details, including removing and disposing of your old equipment, and make sure everything is tested and running before we leave.
