You’re running separate heating and cooling systems, watching your energy bills climb every month, and wondering if there’s a better way. There is.
A properly installed heat pump gives you efficient cooling during Somerset’s 100-degree summers and reliable heating when those rare cold snaps hit. You’re not juggling two systems anymore. You’re not paying to heat and cool with outdated equipment that burns through electricity.
Texas homeowners with heat pumps see their space heating costs drop by about 50% compared to traditional systems. That’s real money back in your pocket every month. The system works by moving heat rather than generating it, which is why it uses roughly half the energy of conventional heating and cooling setups.
You get consistent temperatures throughout your home, lower utility bills, and one less thing to worry about when the weather turns extreme. That’s what matters when you’re trying to keep your family comfortable without breaking the bank.
We’ve been installing and servicing HVAC systems across San Antonio, Houston, and Austin for over two decades. We’re veteran-owned, which means we show up when we say we will and we don’t cut corners.
Somerset sits less than 20 miles south of San Antonio, right in our service area. We know what Texas heat does to HVAC equipment. We know how quickly a system failure turns into an emergency when it’s 103 degrees outside and your kids are home from school.
Our technicians are licensed, certified, and trained specifically on heat pump technology. We’re available 24/7 because HVAC emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When you call, you’re talking to people who’ve been doing this work long enough to know what actually matters: getting your system running right the first time.
First, we come to your home and assess your specific situation. We’re looking at your home’s size, insulation quality, existing ductwork, and how your family actually uses the space. Heat pump sizing isn’t guesswork—get it wrong and you’ll have comfort problems and higher bills.
Once we’ve determined the right system for your home, we walk you through equipment options, efficiency ratings, and what you can expect for upfront costs versus long-term savings. We’ll also let you know about any available utility rebates. CPS Energy offers rebates of $100-275 per ton for qualifying systems, which can offset some of your installation costs.
Installation typically takes one to two days depending on your setup. We remove your old equipment, install the new heat pump system, connect it to your existing ductwork (or modify as needed), set up the thermostat, and test everything thoroughly. Before we leave, we show you how to operate your new system and answer any questions you have.
You’ll notice the difference immediately—more consistent temperatures, quieter operation, and within your first full month, you should see the impact on your energy bill.
Ready to get started?
Your heat pump installation includes proper system sizing based on Manual J load calculations, not guesswork. You’re getting equipment that’s matched to your home’s actual heating and cooling demands, which directly affects your comfort and energy costs.
We handle all the technical work: refrigerant line installation, electrical connections, thermostat setup, and ductwork modifications if needed. Every connection is tested for leaks. Every electrical component is verified. We’re not rushing through installs to get to the next job.
Somerset’s climate is ideal for heat pump technology. You’re not dealing with the extreme cold that causes heat pumps to struggle in northern states. Texas has more residential heat pumps than any state except Florida—over 2 million systems—because they work well here.
Your installation comes with comprehensive warranties on parts and labor. We also set you up with a maintenance schedule because regular servicing extends your system’s lifespan and maintains efficiency. Heat pumps can last 15-20 years with proper care, making this a genuine long-term investment in your home’s comfort.
Heat pump installation in Somerset typically runs between $5,000 and $12,000 depending on your home’s size, the system’s efficiency rating, and any modifications needed to your existing setup. That’s a significant range because every home is different.
A 1,500 square foot home with existing ductwork in good condition will cost less than a 3,000 square foot home that needs ductwork repairs. Higher SEER ratings (which mean better efficiency and lower operating costs) increase the upfront price but save you more money over time.
Don’t forget about available rebates. CPS Energy offers $100-275 per ton for qualifying heat pump installations, which can reduce your out-of-pocket costs. We’ll help you identify what rebates you qualify for and handle the paperwork. The federal tax credit that offered up to $2,000 expired at the end of 2025, so utility rebates are now your main opportunity for installation savings.
Yes, but you need to understand how they perform when temperatures hit 100+ degrees. Heat pumps are highly efficient in moderate temperatures, but their efficiency does decrease somewhat during extreme heat. That said, they’re still effective at cooling your home.
The key is proper sizing and installation. An undersized system will struggle on the hottest days. An oversized system will short-cycle and fail to dehumidify properly. This is why professional load calculations matter—we’re determining exactly what capacity your home needs based on insulation, window quality, sun exposure, and typical occupancy.
Modern heat pumps are designed for Texas climates. Manufacturers have improved their performance in extreme temperatures significantly over the past decade. With proper installation and regular maintenance, your heat pump will keep your Somerset home comfortable even during the worst heat waves. We also offer 24/7 emergency service if you ever have issues during extreme weather.
A regular AC only cools. A heat pump both cools and heats, which is why it replaces both your air conditioner and your furnace with a single system.
During summer, a heat pump works exactly like an air conditioner—it removes heat from inside your home and dumps it outside. During winter, it reverses that process, pulling heat from the outdoor air (yes, even cold air contains heat energy) and moving it inside your home. This heat transfer process uses far less energy than generating heat with electric resistance or burning natural gas.
That’s why heat pumps cut energy costs roughly in half compared to traditional heating systems. You’re moving existing heat rather than creating it from scratch. For Somerset homeowners who currently have separate heating and cooling systems, switching to a heat pump means maintaining one system instead of two, which also reduces your maintenance costs and simplifies your home comfort setup.
Most heat pump installations in Somerset take one to two days from start to finish. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping out existing equipment and your ductwork is in good shape typically take one full day.
More complex installations take longer. If we need to modify ductwork, upgrade your electrical panel, or make structural changes to accommodate the new equipment, you’re looking at two days or possibly more. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after we assess your specific situation.
During installation, your home will be without heating and cooling, which is why we work efficiently and try to schedule during milder weather when possible. We also clean up completely before we leave—you shouldn’t have to deal with debris or leftover materials. Once installation is complete, we test the entire system thoroughly, show you how to operate it, and make sure you’re comfortable with everything before we consider the job done.
Actually, heat pumps typically require less maintenance than traditional systems because they don’t use combustion to produce heat. There’s no furnace to clean, no burners to inspect, and no combustion byproducts to worry about.
That said, you still need regular maintenance to keep your heat pump running efficiently. We recommend professional service twice a year—once before cooling season and once before heating season. During these visits, we check refrigerant levels, clean coils, inspect electrical connections, test the reversing valve, and verify that everything’s operating at peak efficiency.
You should also change your air filters every 1-3 months depending on usage and whether you have pets. Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation. These simple steps prevent most common problems and help your system last its full 15-20 year lifespan. Neglected heat pumps lose efficiency over time and cost more to operate, which defeats the purpose of installing an efficient system in the first place.
Yes, CPS Energy (which serves Somerset) offers rebates for qualifying heat pump installations. Current rebates range from $100 to $275 per ton of cooling capacity, depending on the system’s efficiency rating and whether it meets their program requirements.
The federal tax credit that previously offered up to $2,000 for heat pump installations expired on December 31, 2025, so utility rebates are now your primary opportunity for installation savings. Rebate programs do change, so we’ll verify current offerings when we provide your quote.
We handle the rebate paperwork for you. You shouldn’t have to navigate utility company requirements or figure out what documentation they need. We submit everything on your behalf and make sure you receive whatever rebates you qualify for. These rebates reduce your upfront costs, which makes the switch to a more efficient system more affordable and shortens your payback period on the investment.
