You’re not just replacing a heating system. You’re ending those middle-of-the-night panic moments when the temperature drops and nothing kicks on. You’re done paying for a system that runs constantly but never quite gets the house warm enough.
Modern heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, which means one system doing two jobs—and doing them better than what you’ve got now. In Travis, TX, where winter mornings can hit the high 20s and summers push triple digits, that dual functionality actually matters. You’ll see the difference on your energy bill within the first month.
The right residential heating system installation also means you stop wondering if this is the year your old furnace finally dies. No more space heaters in the hallway. No more blankets on the couch in January. Just consistent warmth when you need it, without the constant repairs or the dread of what’s coming next.
Texas Air Repair is veteran-owned and family-run. We’ve been serving Travis, TX and the surrounding areas for more than 20 years, which means we’ve seen every type of heating system, every kind of breakdown, and every flavor of “the guy before you said it was fine.”
We’re not the cheapest option in Travis County, and we’re upfront about that. What you get instead is honest pricing, certified technicians who actually show up on time, and installations done right the first time. Poor installation is one of the biggest reasons heat pumps fail early—we make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Our A+ BBB rating and the fact that customers keep calling us back tell you what you need to know. We treat your home the way we’d treat our own, because that’s how we were raised and how we run this business.
First, we come out and actually look at your home. Not every house in Travis, TX needs the same system, and we’re not going to sell you something oversized just because it’s on the truck. We’ll measure your space, check your ductwork, and talk through what you actually need based on how you use your home.
Once we agree on the system, we give you a clear quote. No hidden fees, no surprise charges when the job’s done. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start.
Installation day, our certified techs show up on time with everything they need. We pull out the old system, install the new one, test it to make sure it’s running efficiently, and walk you through how to use it. If your ductwork needs sealing or your insulation could be better, we’ll tell you—but we’re not going to push services you don’t need.
After we’re done, you’ve got a system that’ll last 15 to 20 years with basic maintenance, and we’re available 24/7 if something ever goes sideways.

Every heating system installation in Travis, TX includes a full assessment of your home’s heating load, professional sizing to avoid the inefficiency that comes from guessing, and installation by licensed, insured technicians who’ve done this hundreds of times.
You also get access to state rebates—up to $8,000 for qualifying heat pumps in Texas. We’ll walk you through what’s available and how to apply, because that money’s sitting there and most people don’t even know about it. Combined with the energy savings, you’re looking at a system that pays for itself in 5 to 10 years.
Travis County sits in Climate Zone 2A, which means you need a system that can handle hot, humid summers and those surprise cold snaps in winter. Heat pumps are built for this. They’re more efficient than traditional furnaces, they don’t rely on combustion, and they work as your AC when the heat comes back in March.
We also include a comprehensive warranty on parts and labor, so if anything goes wrong, you’re covered. And if you ever need emergency service—say, during one of those unexpected freezes—we’re available around the clock.
If your system is over 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or struggles to keep your home comfortable, replacement usually makes more sense than another patch job. Heating systems have a lifespan of about 15 to 20 years, and once they hit that range, efficiency drops and parts start failing more often.
Here’s a simple test: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new system, or if you’ve had multiple service calls in the past two years, you’re throwing money at something that’s not going to last. A new installation gives you better efficiency, lower energy bills, and peace of mind that you’re not going to wake up to a dead system in the middle of January.
We’ll always be honest about whether a repair makes sense or if you’re better off replacing it. We’re not in the business of selling you something you don’t need, but we’re also not going to keep fixing a system that’s on its last legs just to save you money in the short term.
A furnace burns fuel—usually gas—to create heat, while a heat pump moves heat from outside to inside, even when it’s cold out. In Travis, TX, where winters are mild and summers are brutal, heat pumps make a lot of sense because they handle both heating and cooling in one system.
Heat pumps are more energy-efficient than furnaces, especially in climates like ours where you’re not dealing with extended periods below freezing. They can cut your heating costs significantly compared to older furnaces or electric resistance heating. The trade-off used to be that heat pumps struggled in extreme cold, but modern systems work efficiently even when temperatures drop into the 20s, which covers the coldest days we see here.
If you’ve got an old furnace that only heats, you’re still running a separate AC system for summer. A heat pump does both, which means one system to maintain, one system to replace eventually, and lower overall operating costs. For most homes in Travis County, it’s the smarter long-term investment.
Most residential heating system installations in Travis, TX take one full day, sometimes two if we’re also updating ductwork or making other improvements to your HVAC setup. Straightforward replacements—swapping an old system for a new one in the same spot—usually wrap up in 6 to 8 hours.
If your home needs duct sealing, new vents, or electrical upgrades to handle the new system, that adds time. We’ll tell you upfront what to expect so you can plan accordingly. Our goal is to get the job done right, not fast, but we’re also not going to drag it out.
During installation, you’ll be without heat for part of the day, so we try to schedule around weather and your availability. Once we’re done, we test everything to make sure it’s running efficiently and heating your home the way it should. You’ll have heat that same day—no waiting, no callbacks to finish the job.
Yes. Texas offers rebates up to $8,000 for qualifying heat pump installations, with income-based qualifications that make these incentives accessible to a lot of homeowners. If you combine a heat pump with a heat pump water heater, total savings can reach $9,750.
These rebates are part of a larger push toward energy efficiency and electrification, and they’re designed to offset the upfront cost of upgrading to a more efficient system. The application process isn’t complicated, but it does require specific documentation and proof of installation by a licensed contractor—which is where we come in.
We’ll walk you through what’s available, help you figure out if you qualify, and provide the paperwork you need to submit your rebate claim. Between the rebates and the energy savings you’ll see every month, most homeowners recoup their investment within 5 to 10 years. It’s real money, and it’s worth taking advantage of while these programs are still funded.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, which means if your heat goes out at 2 a.m. during a cold snap, you can call us and we’ll get someone out to you. Emergency breakdowns are stressful and expensive, but they’re also preventable if you’re proactive about replacing aging systems before they fail.
That said, we know breakdowns happen. Winter Storm Uri showed everyone in Central Texas just how critical a reliable heating system is when temperatures drop unexpectedly. If your system is struggling now—making weird noises, cycling on and off, or just not keeping up—don’t wait until it dies completely.
Emergency service calls cost more than scheduled installations, and you’re often stuck with fewer options because you need heat immediately. If you’re on the fence about whether to repair or replace, now’s the time to make that call. We’d rather help you plan an installation on your timeline than scramble to get you heat in the middle of an emergency.
Poor installation is one of the most common reasons heat pumps fail early or don’t perform the way they should. If the system isn’t sized correctly, the refrigerant charge is off, or the ductwork isn’t sealed properly, you’re going to have problems—and those problems cost money to fix.
A professional heating installation in Travis, TX means the system is matched to your home’s actual heating and cooling load, not just guessed at based on square footage. It means refrigerant levels are precise, electrical connections are solid, and airflow is balanced so every room gets the comfort it’s supposed to.
We’ve seen plenty of installs done by unlicensed contractors or handymen trying to save the homeowner money, and they almost always end up costing more in the long run. You’re making a significant investment in your home’s comfort—make sure it’s done by certified techs who know what they’re doing and will be around if something needs adjusting down the road.
