You’re spending too much on energy bills. Around 55% of what you pay each month goes straight to heating and cooling—and if your system’s outdated or inefficient, that number climbs even higher.
A new heating system installation cuts that waste. Modern furnaces and heat pumps are built for Texas weather—hot summers, unpredictable winters, and those sudden cold snaps that hit Universal City without warning. You’ll notice the difference in your monthly bill within the first season.
But it’s not just about money. It’s about reliability. When temperatures drop overnight and your old system can’t keep up, you’re not just uncomfortable—you’re worried. A properly installed heating system means consistent warmth, fewer repair calls, and peace of mind when the forecast turns ugly.
We’ve been installing heating systems across Universal City, San Antonio, and the surrounding Bexar County area for more than two decades. We’re veteran-owned, which means we show up on time, do what we say, and stand behind our work.
You’re not getting a national chain or a rotating crew of subcontractors. You’re working with certified technicians who know Texas climate conditions inside and out. We’ve installed systems in homes just like yours—dealing with the same unpredictable weather, the same energy concerns, the same need for a system that works when it matters.
We’re available 24/7 because heating emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When your system fails during a freeze, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up ready to work.
First, we assess your home. That means looking at square footage, insulation, ductwork condition, and your current system’s performance. You’ll get an honest evaluation—not a sales pitch. If your existing system can be repaired cost-effectively, we’ll tell you. If it’s time for replacement, we’ll explain why.
Next, we recommend the right system for your specific situation. Heat pumps work well in Universal City because they’re efficient in mild winters and handle our hot summers. Gas furnaces are another option if you need maximum heating power during those rare deep freezes. We’ll walk through the pros and cons of each based on your home and budget.
Installation typically takes one day. We remove your old system, install the new equipment, connect it to existing ductwork (or replace ducts if needed), test everything thoroughly, and make sure you understand how to operate your new system. Before we leave, your heating is running efficiently and you’ve got our number for any follow-up questions.
You’ll also get warranty information on parts and labor. We don’t disappear after installation—we’re here for maintenance, repairs, and any issues that come up down the road.
Ready to get started?
Your heating system installation includes the full setup—equipment, labor, connection to your existing HVAC infrastructure, and thorough testing. We handle permits and ensure everything meets local building codes in Universal City and Bexar County.
If your ductwork is damaged or leaking, we’ll address that too. Leaky ducts waste energy and reduce system efficiency by up to 30%. You’re paying to heat air that never reaches your living space. We’ll inspect, seal, or replace ductwork as needed so your new system performs the way it should.
You’ll also get a walkthrough of your new system’s features. Modern thermostats offer programmable settings that adjust temperatures based on your schedule—saving energy when you’re at work or asleep. We’ll show you how to use these features so you’re getting maximum efficiency from day one.
Universal City homeowners face unique challenges. The area’s mix of older and newer homes means every installation is different. Some properties need upgraded electrical panels to handle new equipment. Others have attic installations that require special considerations in Texas heat. We’ve handled it all, and we’ll make sure your installation is done right for your specific home.
Most heating system installations take between six and eight hours. That’s for a straightforward replacement where we’re swapping out an old furnace or heat pump for a new one in the same location.
If your home needs ductwork repairs, electrical upgrades, or modifications to accommodate a different system type, it might take longer—sometimes a full day or into a second day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after the initial assessment so you know exactly what to expect.
We also offer same-day installation in many cases, especially during emergencies. If your system fails during a cold snap and you need heat immediately, we’ll prioritize getting you up and running as fast as possible without cutting corners on quality.
Heat pumps are the most popular choice in Universal City because they handle both heating and cooling efficiently. Texas winters are usually mild, and heat pumps excel in those conditions while also keeping you cool during our brutal summers.
Gas furnaces are another solid option if you want maximum heating power during rare deep freezes. They heat up faster and maintain warmth even when outdoor temperatures drop into the teens or lower. The tradeoff is that you’ll need a separate air conditioning system for summer cooling.
Electric furnaces are less common here because they’re expensive to operate, but they work well in smaller homes or as supplemental heat sources. The right choice depends on your home’s size, your existing infrastructure, and how you prioritize efficiency versus heating power. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation—not what’s easiest for us to install.
Heating system installation in Universal City typically ranges from $3,500 to $10,000 depending on the system type, size, and complexity of the job. A basic furnace replacement in a standard home falls on the lower end. A high-efficiency heat pump with ductwork modifications and electrical upgrades costs more.
You’re not just paying for equipment. You’re paying for proper sizing (critical for efficiency), professional installation that meets code requirements, and warranty protection on both parts and labor. Cheap installations often mean shortcuts—improper sizing, poor ductwork connections, or unlicensed work that creates safety hazards.
We provide upfront pricing before any work starts. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and what’s included. We also offer financing options if you need to spread payments out over time. The goal is to get you a reliable heating system without surprise charges or hidden fees after the job’s done.
Not always, but it depends on the condition of your existing ducts. If they’re sealed properly, sized correctly for your new system, and free of major damage, you can usually keep them.
However, many homes in Universal City have ductwork issues—leaks, poor insulation, or sizing mismatches that waste energy. If your ducts are leaking, you’re losing conditioned air before it reaches your rooms. That means higher bills and uneven temperatures throughout your home.
We inspect ductwork as part of every installation assessment. If repairs or replacement are needed, we’ll explain what’s wrong and why it matters. Sometimes sealing leaks is enough. Other times, especially in older homes, replacement makes more sense than trying to patch failing ducts. You’ll get a clear recommendation either way, and we won’t push unnecessary work.
Schedule maintenance once a year, ideally in the fall before you need heat regularly. Annual maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive repairs and keeps your system running efficiently.
During a maintenance visit, we inspect all components, clean parts that accumulate dust and debris, check refrigerant levels (for heat pumps), test safety controls, and verify that everything’s operating within manufacturer specifications. This extends your system’s lifespan and prevents breakdowns during cold snaps when you need heat most.
Skipping maintenance voids some manufacturer warranties and leads to higher energy bills. Dirty filters and components make your system work harder, using more energy to produce the same amount of heat. Regular maintenance pays for itself in lower operating costs and fewer emergency repair calls.
Call us immediately at our 24/7 emergency line. Heating failures during freezing weather aren’t just uncomfortable—they’re potentially dangerous, especially if you have young children, elderly family members, or health conditions affected by cold temperatures.
While you’re waiting for us to arrive, check your thermostat settings and make sure your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. Sometimes the fix is simple. If the system still won’t run, avoid trying to repair it yourself—gas furnaces and electrical components create safety hazards if handled incorrectly.
We prioritize emergency calls during extreme weather and typically arrive within a few hours. If your system can’t be repaired quickly, we’ll discuss temporary heating solutions and fast-track a replacement installation if needed. You won’t be left without heat longer than absolutely necessary.
