Your energy bills drop. Not by a little—by 30 to 50 percent compared to what you’re paying now with separate heating and cooling systems. That’s real money back in your pocket every month, and in San Antonio’s climate, those savings add up fast.
You stop worrying about whether your AC will make it through another brutal Texas summer. You stop budgeting for emergency furnace repairs in January. One system handles both, and it does it more efficiently than the outdated equipment currently draining your wallet.
Your home stays comfortable without the temperature swings. No more cold spots in winter or rooms that never quite cool down in July. Modern heat pump systems move air evenly and consistently, so every room feels the way it should.
And if you’re concerned about the upfront cost, federal tax credits up to $2,000 and CPS Energy rebates between $350 and $650 help cover the investment. Most homeowners see full payback within seven to ten years just from energy savings alone.
We’re a veteran-owned HVAC company that’s been installing heat pump systems across San Antonio, Houston, and Austin for over two decades. We’re not new to this market, and we’re not learning on your dime.
Every technician on our team is certified, licensed, and insured. We show up when we say we will, we explain what needs to happen before we start, and we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties on parts and labor.
San Antonio’s climate is ideal for heat pump efficiency. Mild winters mean your system won’t struggle in extreme cold, and our long cooling season is exactly where heat pumps shine. We’ve installed hundreds of systems in this area, and we know what works in your neighborhood, your home type, and your budget.
First, we assess your home. That means looking at your current system, your ductwork, your square footage, and your actual cooling and heating needs. We’re not upselling you on capacity you don’t need, and we’re not cutting corners with undersized equipment.
Next, we walk you through your options. Different heat pump models offer different efficiency ratings, and we’ll explain what those numbers actually mean for your monthly bills. We’ll also help you navigate available rebates and tax credits so you’re not leaving money on the table.
Installation typically takes one to two days depending on your home’s setup. We remove your old equipment, install the new heat pump system, connect it to your existing ductwork (or recommend modifications if needed), and test everything to make sure it’s running at peak efficiency.
Before we leave, we show you how to operate your new system and answer any questions. You’ll also get our 24/7 emergency service number, because HVAC problems don’t wait for business hours.
Ready to get started?
You get a complete system evaluation before we start. We measure your home’s heating and cooling load, inspect your ductwork for leaks or damage, and identify any electrical upgrades needed to support your new equipment.
The installation itself includes removal and disposal of your old system, full heat pump installation with proper refrigerant charging, thermostat setup (or upgrade if your current one isn’t compatible), and comprehensive testing to verify efficiency and performance.
We also provide a detailed walkthrough of your new system’s operation and maintenance requirements. Heat pumps need regular filter changes and annual servicing to maintain efficiency, and we’ll set you up with a maintenance plan that keeps your warranty valid and your system running at peak performance.
San Antonio homeowners also benefit from local rebate programs. CPS Energy offers rebates up to $650 for qualifying high-efficiency installations, and federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can put up to $2,000 back in your pocket. We handle the paperwork and documentation you need to claim these incentives.
Heat pump installation in San Antonio typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000 depending on your home’s size, the system’s efficiency rating, and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. That’s before rebates and tax credits, which can reduce your out-of-pocket cost by $2,000 to $2,650.
Higher-efficiency models cost more upfront but save more on monthly energy bills. In San Antonio’s climate, where you’re running your system nearly year-round, that efficiency difference matters. A 16 SEER system might save you $40 per month compared to your current setup, while an 18 SEER model could save $60 or more.
We provide transparent pricing during your consultation. You’ll know exactly what the equipment costs, what labor runs, and what your total investment looks like with all available incentives applied. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes. Heat pumps are extremely effective in San Antonio’s climate, and they actually work better here than in most other parts of the country. San Antonio’s design cooling temperature hits 95°F, which is well within the optimal operating range for modern heat pump systems.
Heat pump efficiency increases as outdoor temperatures rise, which means your system performs at its best during our long, hot summers when you need it most. Unlike traditional AC units that only cool, heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, using significantly less electricity to achieve the same comfort level.
The mild winters are another advantage. San Antonio’s design heating temperature sits around 33°F, and heat pumps operate efficiently down to about 25°F. You’ll rarely see temperatures that low here, which means your system won’t struggle or need backup heat the way it might in colder climates. This is genuinely one of the best regions in the country for heat pump performance.
Most heat pump installations take one to two days from start to finish. Day one typically involves removing your old equipment, installing the outdoor unit, connecting refrigerant lines, and setting up the indoor air handler. Day two covers final connections, thermostat installation, system testing, and your walkthrough.
Some homes need additional work. If your ductwork has significant leaks or damage, we’ll need extra time to seal or replace sections. If your electrical panel needs upgrading to handle the new system’s load, that adds time as well. We identify these requirements during your initial assessment so there are no surprises.
You’ll have heating and cooling throughout the process. We don’t leave you without climate control, especially during San Antonio’s extreme weather. If we’re working across two days, your old system stays operational until the new one is ready to take over.
Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act offer up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump installations. This applies to Energy Star certified systems that meet minimum efficiency requirements, and it’s a direct credit against your tax liability, not just a deduction.
CPS Energy provides rebates between $350 and $650 for new high-efficiency heat pump installations in San Antonio. The exact amount depends on your system’s SEER rating and whether you’re replacing an existing system or installing new equipment. These rebates come as direct payments, usually within six to eight weeks of installation.
If your household income is below 80 percent of Texas’s median (currently $67,000), you may qualify for additional rebates up to $9,750 when combining heat pump installation with other energy-efficient upgrades like heat pump water heaters. We help you navigate these programs and provide all necessary documentation for your applications.
San Antonio homeowners typically see energy cost reductions of 30 to 50 percent after switching to a heat pump system. The exact savings depend on what you’re replacing, your home’s insulation, and your current energy rates, but most households save $75 to $150 per month.
Texas electricity rates have climbed to 14.9 cents per kWh as of 2024, up 23 percent since 2021. Heat pumps use electricity more efficiently than traditional systems because they move heat rather than generate it. For every unit of electricity consumed, a heat pump can move three to four units of heating or cooling into your home.
Over a system’s typical 15-year lifespan, you’re looking at $13,500 to $27,000 in total energy savings. That’s why most heat pump installations pay for themselves within seven to ten years, even before factoring in avoided repair costs from your old system. The savings are real, measurable, and consistent month after month.
Not necessarily, but we’ll inspect your ductwork during the assessment. If your ducts are in good condition with minimal leakage, they’ll work fine with your new heat pump system. Most San Antonio homes built in the last 20 years have adequate ductwork that just needs minor sealing.
Older homes or those with significant duct damage may need repairs or modifications. Leaky ductwork wastes 20 to 30 percent of your conditioned air, which kills efficiency and drives up bills regardless of how good your new equipment is. If we find problems, we’ll show you exactly what needs fixing and why.
Some homes benefit from duct upgrades even if the existing system is functional. Properly sized and sealed ductwork improves airflow, reduces noise, and maximizes your heat pump’s efficiency. We’ll give you options—what’s necessary for the system to work, what’s recommended for optimal performance, and what can wait if budget is a concern. You decide what makes sense for your situation.
