When your commercial heat pump system works properly, you stop thinking about it. Your employees stay productive. Your customers feel comfortable. Your energy bills stay predictable.
That’s what happens when you get the right system installed correctly the first time. No more emergency calls during your busiest days. No more wondering if your heating and cooling will hold up during Texas summers or unexpected cold snaps.
You get consistent temperatures, lower operating costs, and the peace of mind that comes from working with people who know what they’re doing. Your focus stays on running your business, not managing HVAC problems.
Texas Air Repair has been handling commercial heat pump systems across the San Antonio area since day one. We’re a veteran-owned company, which means we understand what it takes to get the job done right.
Our certified technicians have seen every type of commercial heating challenge that Texas weather can throw at a business. From small office buildings in Adkins to large facilities across San Antonio, Houston, and Austin, we’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will and fixing problems that stay fixed.
We offer 24/7 emergency service because we know your business can’t wait for normal business hours when your heat pump fails.
First, we evaluate your building’s specific needs and existing infrastructure. This isn’t a cookie-cutter approach – every commercial space has different requirements for proper heating and cooling.
Next comes the detailed proposal that breaks down exactly what you’re getting and what it costs. No hidden fees or surprise charges later. We handle all permits and ensure the installation meets local codes and manufacturer specifications.
Installation day means professional work that doesn’t disrupt your business operations more than necessary. Our certified technicians test every component before we leave, and we walk you through the system operation and maintenance requirements. You get documentation for warranty purposes and know exactly who to call if you need service down the road.

Our commercial heat pump service includes everything from initial system design through ongoing maintenance. We handle heat pump installation for new construction and replacement projects, plus repair services when existing systems need attention.
Adkins businesses deal with unique challenges from the Texas climate. Summer temperatures that push systems hard, followed by winter cold snaps that test heating capabilities. Our maintenance programs keep your system running efficiently through both extremes.
Our service also covers indoor air quality improvements that matter for commercial spaces. Clean air ducts, proper humidity control, and filtration systems that keep your building environment healthy for employees and customers. We understand that your heat pump system does more than just control temperature – it affects your entire business environment.
Commercial heat pump installation costs vary significantly based on your building size, existing infrastructure, and system requirements. A small office might need a $15,000-25,000 system, while larger facilities often require $50,000+ investments.
The key factors affecting your cost include the tonnage needed for your square footage, whether existing ductwork can be used, electrical upgrades required, and the efficiency rating you choose. Higher efficiency systems cost more upfront but save money on monthly energy bills.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down equipment, labor, and any additional work needed. This way you see exactly where your money goes and can make informed decisions about efficiency upgrades or additional features that might benefit your business long-term.
Commercial heat pump sizing depends on your building’s square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window area, and occupancy levels. A general rule is 400-600 square feet per ton of cooling capacity, but this varies significantly for commercial applications.
Buildings with large windows, high ceilings, or heavy foot traffic need more capacity. Warehouses with minimal insulation require different calculations than well-insulated office spaces. The type of business matters too – restaurants generate more heat than typical offices.
Professional load calculations account for all these factors plus local climate data for the Adkins area. Undersized systems run constantly and wear out faster. Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and failing to control humidity properly. Getting the sizing right the first time prevents both problems and ensures optimal performance.
Commercial heat pump systems in Texas need professional maintenance twice per year – once before summer cooling season and once before winter heating season. The demanding Texas climate makes this schedule essential for reliable operation.
Spring maintenance focuses on cooling components: cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, and ensuring proper airflow. Fall maintenance emphasizes heating elements, reversing valve operation, and preparing the system for temperature swings.
Monthly filter changes are crucial for commercial systems due to higher usage and occupancy. Quarterly inspections of outdoor units help catch problems early, especially after severe weather. Many businesses find that preventive maintenance contracts save money compared to emergency repairs and reduce the risk of system failures during peak demand periods.
Modern commercial heat pumps are designed to handle Texas weather extremes, but proper selection and installation are critical. Standard heat pumps work efficiently down to about 25-30°F, which covers most Texas winter conditions.
For the occasional severe cold snaps that drop below this range, backup heating systems ensure continuous operation. Many commercial installations include electric resistance heating or dual-fuel systems that switch to gas heating when temperatures drop too low for efficient heat pump operation.
Summer performance depends on proper sizing and maintenance. Well-maintained commercial heat pumps efficiently cool buildings even during 100°F+ Texas summers. The key is ensuring adequate airflow, clean coils, and proper refrigerant levels. Regular maintenance prevents the efficiency losses that cause systems to struggle during peak demand periods.
Commercial heat pump systems are built for much higher capacity and continuous operation compared to residential units. They typically use three-phase electrical power, have more robust components, and include advanced controls for zone management and scheduling.
Commercial systems often feature modular designs that allow for staged operation – bringing additional capacity online only when needed. This improves efficiency and provides redundancy if one section needs repair. Commercial units also include more sophisticated diagnostic capabilities and remote monitoring options.
The installation requirements differ significantly too. Commercial systems need professional load calculations, proper permits, and compliance with commercial building codes. They require larger electrical services, more complex ductwork, and often include features like economizers for free cooling when outdoor conditions allow. The investment is higher, but so is the durability and performance capability.
Well-maintained commercial heat pump systems typically last 15-20 years, though this varies based on usage patterns, maintenance quality, and environmental conditions. Texas heat and humidity can be demanding on equipment, making regular maintenance even more important for longevity.
Systems that receive proper twice-yearly professional maintenance and regular filter changes often exceed their expected lifespan. Neglected systems may fail in 10-12 years or less. The quality of the initial installation also affects longevity – proper sizing, electrical connections, and refrigerant charging are crucial for long-term reliability.
Signs that replacement time is approaching include frequent repairs, declining efficiency, inability to maintain comfortable temperatures, and refrigerant leaks. Most businesses start planning replacements around the 12-15 year mark to avoid unexpected failures during critical periods. Upgrading before complete failure allows for better planning and often results in improved efficiency and lower operating costs.
