Your energy bills drop. Most homeowners in Von Ormy see heating and cooling costs cut by up to 40% after switching to a heat pump system installation. That’s real money back in your pocket every single month.
Your home stays comfortable no matter what Texas weather throws at you. Heat pumps handle our scorching summers and mild winters without breaking a sweat. No more cold spots in January or that one bedroom that never cools down in August.
You’re done paying for two separate systems. A heat pump handles both heating and cooling, which means less equipment to maintain, less that can go wrong, and more space in your yard. Plus, modern heat pumps use up to 65% less electricity than traditional electric furnaces because they move heat instead of creating it from scratch.
Texas Air Repair is veteran-owned and we’ve been keeping San Antonio area homes comfortable for over 20 years. We’ve seen every type of HVAC setup Von Ormy homes have, from older properties near Garza Road to newer builds off Highway 16.
Our technicians are certified, experienced, and show up with the right equipment to complete most heat pump installations in a single day. We’re not a national chain that rotates crews every few months. When you call us, you’re working with people who know this area and understand what Von Ormy homeowners actually need.
We offer 24/7 emergency service because we know HVAC problems don’t wait for business hours. And we back our heat pump installations with solid warranties and a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
First, we come to your home and look at your current setup. We measure your space, check your existing ductwork, and figure out the right size heat pump for your home. Undersized units run constantly and wear out fast. Oversized units cycle on and off too much and don’t control humidity properly. We size it right the first time.
Once you approve the quote, we schedule your installation. Most Von Ormy homes can use their existing ductwork, which saves you time and money. Our crew arrives on schedule, protects your floors and property, and gets to work. We remove your old equipment, install the new heat pump system, connect everything properly, and test the entire system to make sure it’s running at peak efficiency.
Before we leave, we walk you through how to use your new system and answer any questions you have. We also explain your warranty coverage and maintenance schedule. The whole process typically takes one day for most residential heat pump installations, and you’ll notice the difference in comfort and efficiency immediately.
Ready to get started?
You get a complete heat pump system installation sized specifically for your home. We don’t use generic calculations or rough estimates. Your home gets properly load-calculated equipment that matches your square footage, insulation, window placement, and Von Ormy’s specific climate conditions.
Your installation includes the outdoor unit, indoor air handler, refrigerant lines, electrical connections, thermostat setup, and full system testing. If your ductwork needs modifications or repairs, we handle that too. We make sure every connection is sealed properly because even small leaks can cost you hundreds in wasted energy every year.
Von Ormy’s climate is actually ideal for heat pumps. Our mild winters mean your system will run efficiently all year without needing backup heat sources that some northern climates require. And because summer temperatures here regularly exceed 100°F, you need a system that can handle sustained high-heat operation without breaking down. Modern heat pumps are built for exactly this kind of climate, and they actually become more efficient as outdoor temperatures rise.
We also make sure you understand any available utility rebates or incentives. While federal tax credits recently expired, local utility programs may still offer savings on energy-efficient heat pump installations. We’ll help you navigate what’s currently available.
Heat pump installation in Von Ormy typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000 depending on your home’s size, the system’s efficiency rating, and whether your existing ductwork needs modifications. A 1,500 square foot home usually falls on the lower end, while larger homes with multiple zones cost more.
Here’s what affects your final price: the SEER rating you choose (higher efficiency costs more upfront but saves more monthly), whether we’re replacing an existing system or installing from scratch, and the condition of your current ductwork. If your ducts are leaking or poorly insulated, fixing them during installation prevents you from losing 20-30% of your heated and cooled air.
Most Von Ormy homeowners see their investment pay for itself within 5-7 years through energy savings alone. Your monthly utility bills drop immediately, and you’re no longer maintaining two separate systems for heating and cooling.
Yes, and they actually work better in heat than traditional air conditioners in many cases. Heat pumps cool your home the exact same way an air conditioner does during summer. There’s no performance difference when temperatures are high.
The concern some people have about heat pumps is cold weather performance, not hot weather. But Von Ormy rarely sees temperatures cold enough to affect modern heat pump efficiency. Today’s heat pumps work efficiently down to temperatures well below what we experience here, even during unusual cold snaps like Winter Storm Uri.
In fact, heat pump efficiency actually increases as outdoor temperatures rise, which makes them perfect for our climate. When it’s 100°F outside, your heat pump is working in its ideal operating range. You get consistent cooling all summer without the system struggling or driving up your electric bill the way older, less efficient systems do.
Most residential heat pump installations in Von Ormy take one full day. We typically start in the morning and have your new system running by late afternoon. Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping out an old system and your ductwork is in good shape usually take 6-8 hours.
More complex installations take longer. If we’re adding a heat pump to a home that previously only had window units, or if your ductwork needs significant repairs or modifications, the job might extend into a second day. We’ll tell you the realistic timeline during your initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
You’ll be without heating and cooling during the installation, so we work efficiently to minimize disruption. We also recommend scheduling installations during milder weather when possible, though we understand that’s not always an option when your current system has failed. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service for situations that can’t wait.
In most cases, yes. If your Von Ormy home already has central air conditioning or forced-air heating, your existing ductwork can usually accommodate a heat pump system without major modifications. We inspect your ducts during the initial consultation to confirm they’re properly sized and sealed.
Sometimes we find issues that should be addressed during installation. Leaky ducts waste energy and reduce comfort. Undersized ducts restrict airflow and make your new system work harder than it should. If we spot problems, we’ll explain what needs fixing and why it matters for your system’s performance and longevity.
Homes without existing ductwork require more extensive installation work. We can install a complete duct system, or in some cases, a ductless mini-split heat pump might be a better option. Ductless systems work well for home additions, older homes without existing ducts, or situations where you want independent temperature control in different areas. We’ll walk through all your options and recommend what makes the most sense for your home and budget.
The right size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, window placement, ceiling height, and how many people live there. A typical 1,500 square foot home in Von Ormy usually needs a 2.5 to 3-ton heat pump, but that’s just a starting point. Proper sizing requires actual calculations, not rules of thumb.
We do a complete load calculation during your consultation. This accounts for Von Ormy’s specific climate, your home’s construction, and how you actually use your space. Contractors who skip this step and just guess based on square footage often install the wrong size equipment, which leads to short cycling, humidity problems, uneven temperatures, and premature system failure.
An oversized heat pump costs more upfront and actually performs worse than a properly sized one. It cools or heats your home too quickly, shuts off before removing humidity, and cycles on and off constantly, which wears out components faster. An undersized unit runs constantly, never quite reaches your target temperature, and racks up high electric bills. We size your system correctly so it runs efficiently and lasts its full expected lifespan of 15-20 years.
No, heat pumps actually require about the same maintenance as a traditional air conditioner and furnace combination. The difference is you’re maintaining one system instead of two, which often means lower overall maintenance costs and fewer service calls.
Your heat pump needs a professional tune-up 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 system performance, and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. You should also change your air filter every 1-3 months depending on usage and whether you have pets.
Regular maintenance matters more than most people realize. Studies show that anywhere from 50% to 90% of heat pumps are installed incorrectly, which leads to higher operating costs, extra maintenance needs, and shorter equipment life. But even a perfectly installed system needs regular servicing to maintain peak efficiency. A well-maintained heat pump in Von Ormy’s climate can easily last 15-20 years or more, while a neglected one might fail in under 10 years.
