Your energy bills drop. That’s the short version.
Commercial heat pumps move heat instead of generating it, which means you’re using roughly half the electricity compared to traditional electric heating. In Selma, where utility prices climb during winter months, that difference shows up every single month on your statement.
You also stop juggling two separate systems. No more coordinating furnace maintenance in November and AC tune-ups in March. One commercial heat pump handles both jobs, which means one maintenance schedule, one service provider, and one point of failure instead of two.
The comfort stays consistent too. These systems deliver steady temperatures without the hot-and-cold cycles you get from older equipment. Your employees stay productive, your customers stay comfortable, and you stop fielding complaints about the thermostat.
We’ve spent over 20 years handling commercial heating and cooling across Selma and the greater San Antonio area. We’re veteran-owned, which means we show up when we say we will and we don’t waste your time with runarounds.
We’ve seen what happens when businesses try to limp along with failing systems or get talked into equipment they don’t need. That’s not how we work. Our certified technicians assess your actual needs, explain what makes sense for your space and budget, and install systems that perform.
Selma’s business landscape includes everything from retail spaces near Olympia Parkway to warehouses off Interstate 35. We’ve worked in most of them. We understand the climate here, the building types, and what it takes to keep commercial properties comfortable without burning through your operating budget.
We start with an on-site assessment of your commercial space. Our technicians measure your square footage, evaluate your existing infrastructure, and identify any specific requirements for your business type. We’re looking at electrical capacity, ductwork condition, and where the outdoor unit needs to go.
Next comes equipment selection. We walk you through options that fit your budget and performance needs. You’ll know upfront what different models cost, how they’ll impact your energy bills, and what kind of maintenance they require. No surprises, no upselling.
Installation typically takes one to three days depending on your building size and whether we’re working with existing ductwork or starting fresh. We handle all the technical work—electrical connections, refrigerant lines, thermostat setup, and system testing. You get a walkthrough of the controls and maintenance requirements before we leave.
After installation, we test the system under load to verify it’s hitting target temperatures efficiently. We also set you up with a maintenance schedule, because regular service is what keeps these systems running for 15-plus years instead of failing early.

You get professional installation by certified technicians who’ve handled commercial properties throughout Selma. That includes proper sizing calculations, code-compliant electrical work, and integration with your existing building systems.
Maintenance plans are straightforward. We inspect and clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, verify airflow, and catch small issues before they become expensive problems. Most commercial heat pump systems need professional service at least once annually. We can do it more frequently if your system runs heavy hours.
Repairs come with 24/7 emergency availability, because equipment doesn’t wait for business hours to fail. Our technicians carry common parts and diagnostic tools to resolve issues on the first visit whenever possible.
For Selma businesses, we also factor in local conditions. Your outdoor unit needs to handle dust from nearby construction on FM 78, occasional severe weather rolling through Bexar County, and the temperature swings that come with Texas seasons. We position equipment to avoid drainage issues, ensure adequate clearance for airflow, and set up systems to handle the workload your business actually demands.
Indoor air quality matters too. We can integrate filtration systems, humidity control, and duct cleaning into your heat pump installation to improve air quality for employees and customers.
Heat pumps can cut your heating electricity use by approximately 50 percent compared to electric resistance heating. That’s not a small difference.
For a typical Selma commercial property, that translates to hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually, depending on your building size and operating hours. The savings are most noticeable during winter months when utility rates tend to spike. You’re also running one efficient system instead of two separate units, which reduces overall energy consumption.
The exact savings depend on your current system’s efficiency, how many hours you operate, and your building’s insulation. We can calculate your specific savings potential during the assessment. Most businesses see the investment pay for itself within a few years through reduced utility bills alone.
Plan on professional service at least once per year. That’s the baseline to keep your system running efficiently and catch problems early.
During maintenance visits, our technicians clean outdoor coils, inspect and tighten electrical connections, check refrigerant levels for leaks, verify thermostat operation, and test airflow throughout the system. We’ll also lubricate moving parts, clean or replace filters, and inspect the duct system for any issues.
Between professional visits, your team should change filters every one to three months, keep debris cleared from around the outdoor unit, and watch for any unusual noises or performance changes. If you notice hot or cold spots, short cycling, or rising energy bills, those are signs to call for service before a minor issue becomes a major repair.
Systems that get regular maintenance typically last 15 years or more. Skip maintenance and you’re looking at higher energy bills, more frequent breakdowns, and a shorter equipment lifespan.
Modern commercial heat pumps are designed for Texas heat. The key is proper sizing and installation.
Heat pumps work by transferring heat rather than generating it, which makes them incredibly efficient. During summer, they move heat from inside your building to the outdoors—the same way a traditional air conditioner operates. The difference is that commercial-grade units are built to handle the sustained high temperatures Selma experiences from June through September.
Proper installation matters more than equipment alone. The outdoor unit needs adequate clearance for airflow, protection from direct sun when possible, and regular coil cleaning to maintain efficiency. We also verify that your electrical system can handle peak demand and that ductwork is sized correctly for your building.
If your building has particularly high cooling demands—like a restaurant kitchen or a space with large windows facing west—we’ll recommend units with higher SEER ratings and potentially supplemental cooling capacity. The goal is consistent comfort without the system straining to keep up.
A heat pump replaces both your furnace and air conditioner with one system. That’s the fundamental difference.
Installation costs are comparable to replacing both units separately, but you’re getting a more efficient system that costs less to operate long-term. If your existing ductwork is in good condition, we can often use it, which keeps installation straightforward. If ducts need work, we handle that too.
The other major difference is maintenance. Instead of scheduling separate service for heating and cooling equipment, you maintain one system. That simplifies your facility management and typically reduces annual maintenance costs.
One consideration: if you’re currently using gas heat, switching to a heat pump means you’ll run on electricity for both heating and cooling. For most Selma businesses, the efficiency gains offset any fuel cost differences, but we’ll run the numbers for your specific situation so you know exactly what to expect.
Most installations take one to three days, depending on your building size and existing infrastructure.
If we’re replacing an old system and your ductwork is already in place, we’re typically looking at the shorter end of that range. Larger buildings, new construction, or situations where we need to run new ductwork or upgrade electrical service will take longer.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your business operations. For many commercial clients, we can work evenings or weekends if that keeps your business running normally. We’ll give you a specific timeline during the initial assessment once we’ve seen your space and understand the scope.
The installation includes removing old equipment if needed, positioning and securing the new outdoor and indoor units, running refrigerant lines and electrical connections, installing or connecting to ductwork, setting up thermostats and controls, and testing the complete system under operating conditions. We don’t leave until everything is working correctly and you understand how to operate it.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service for commercial clients throughout Selma.
Equipment failures don’t wait for convenient times. When your heat pump goes down during business hours—or overnight when you need the building ready for the next morning—you need someone who answers the phone and shows up fast.
Our emergency technicians carry diagnostic equipment and common replacement parts to resolve issues on the first visit whenever possible. We understand that every hour without climate control costs you money, whether through lost productivity, uncomfortable customers, or potential damage to inventory.
Emergency service covers everything from complete system failures to performance issues that are affecting your business operations. If your system is short cycling, not reaching target temperatures, making unusual noises, or showing other signs of trouble, we treat it as urgent.
The best way to avoid emergencies is preventive maintenance, but when problems do happen, we’re available around the clock to get your system back online.
