You’re not dealing with another mild winter morning that suddenly turns into a 30-degree afternoon. Your current system struggles to keep up, or worse, it quit entirely during the last cold front.
A properly installed heating system handles Schertz’s unpredictable weather without spiking your energy bills or leaving cold spots in your home. You get consistent heat when you need it, a system sized correctly for your space, and equipment that doesn’t cycle on and off every ten minutes because someone guessed at the installation.
Most residential heating system installation in Schertz, TX takes 6-8 hours. You’re back to normal by dinner. If your system failed overnight, we can typically get emergency installations done same-day so you’re not waiting through another freezing night.
The difference shows up in your first utility bill and every time a cold front rolls through without you wondering if the heat will hold.
Texas Air Repair is a veteran-owned HVAC contractor serving Schertz, TX and the greater San Antonio area since the early 2000s. We’ve installed heating systems through every kind of Texas winter—the mild ones and the ones that catch everyone off guard.
Our technicians are certified, licensed, and trained on the equipment we install. That means proper gas line connections, correct electrical hookups, and systems sized for your home’s actual square footage and insulation—not a quick estimate.
We’re available 24/7 because heating emergencies don’t wait for business hours. If your system fails at midnight during a freeze, we answer. We’ve had customers call at 11 PM and have heat running again by 2 AM.
First, we assess your current setup and your home’s heating needs. That includes measuring your space, checking your ductwork, and reviewing your existing system’s performance. We’re looking at what failed, what’s inefficient, and what size equipment actually fits your home.
Next, we walk you through your options. Furnaces work well here, but heat pumps are outselling them in Texas because they handle our mild winters efficiently and cool in summer. We explain the costs, the rebates you qualify for (up to $2,000 federal tax credits for heat pumps, potentially more through upcoming Texas programs), and what makes sense for your situation.
Installation day, we remove your old equipment, install the new system with proper connections and safety checks, test everything under load, and make sure your thermostat is programmed correctly. Most jobs finish in 6-8 hours.
Before we leave, we show you how to operate your new system and answer any questions. You get warranty information, maintenance recommendations, and our number for anything that comes up.

You’re getting a complete heating system installation in Schertz, TX—not just equipment dropped in your garage. That includes removing and disposing of your old system, installing the new furnace or heat pump with proper sizing, connecting gas lines safely (for furnaces), wiring electrical connections to code, and integrating with your existing ductwork or making necessary modifications.
We handle the permit process with the city of Schertz and ensure everything meets local building codes. Your installation includes a full system test under operating conditions, thermostat setup and programming, and a walkthrough of your new equipment.
Schertz homes face unique challenges with our climate. Humidity affects heat pump performance during freezing spells, and sudden temperature swings stress systems that aren’t installed correctly. We account for that during installation—proper refrigerant charges, correct airflow settings, and equipment rated for Texas conditions.
You also get manufacturer warranties on parts (typically 5-10 years) and our installation warranty covering labor. If something’s not right, we come back and fix it.
Most residential heating system installations in Schertz, TX run between $3,500 and $7,500 depending on the equipment type, your home’s size, and whether you’re installing a furnace or heat pump. High-efficiency systems cost more upfront but qualify for federal tax credits up to $2,000.
Heat pumps typically cost $4,000-$7,500 installed. Gas furnaces run $3,500-$6,000. Electric furnaces are usually the least expensive at $2,500-$5,000, but they’re also the most expensive to operate in our climate.
Your final cost depends on your home’s specific needs. A 1,200-square-foot home needs different equipment than a 2,500-square-foot home. If your ductwork needs modifications or your electrical panel needs upgrades, that affects the total. We give you a clear quote before any work starts so you know exactly what you’re paying.
Heat pumps make more sense for most Schertz homes. They heat efficiently during our mild winters and cool during our long, hot summers. You’re getting one system that does both jobs, and heat pumps are currently outselling furnaces by 25% nationally because they’re more efficient in moderate climates like ours.
Furnaces work better if you have natural gas service and want the absolute hottest air during the coldest days. They heat faster when temperatures drop into the teens or twenties. But those extreme cold days are rare in Schertz.
Heat pumps struggle when outdoor temperatures drop below freezing for extended periods, but that’s maybe a few days per year here. Modern heat pumps handle cold better than older models, and many now include backup heating elements for those rare deep freezes. You’re also eligible for bigger federal tax credits with heat pumps—up to $2,000 compared to $600 for high-efficiency furnaces.
Most heating system installations in Schertz, TX take 6-8 hours from start to finish. You’re usually without heat for that full day, but we’re done by early evening in most cases.
Straightforward replacements where we’re swapping similar equipment move faster. If we’re upgrading from a furnace to a heat pump, or if your ductwork needs modifications, it might take a full day or slightly longer.
Emergency installations when your system fails completely can often be done same-day if you call early enough. We keep common equipment in stock specifically for those situations. If your heater dies overnight during a cold snap, we prioritize getting you back up and running within hours, not days. We’ve completed midnight emergency calls and had customers’ heat restored by 2 AM.
Your home’s heating system size depends on square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window count, and how well your ductwork distributes air. A properly sized system heats your home evenly without constantly cycling on and off.
Most Schertz homes between 1,200-1,500 square feet need a 2-ton system. Homes between 1,500-2,000 square feet typically need 2.5-3 tons. Larger homes over 2,500 square feet often need 3.5-4 tons or more.
But those are rough estimates. An oversized system costs more to buy, costs more to run, and actually heats less effectively because it cycles too frequently. An undersized system runs constantly and never quite reaches your set temperature. We do a proper load calculation during your estimate—measuring your actual space and factoring in your home’s specific characteristics. That’s how you get a system that performs correctly and doesn’t waste energy.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency heating installation in Schertz, TX when your system fails during cold weather and can’t be repaired. If it’s midnight and your heater quit during a freeze, we answer the phone and can typically get someone to your home within 2-4 hours.
Emergency installations cost more than scheduled installations because we’re pulling technicians from off-hours and prioritizing your job. But if you’re facing a night or weekend without heat and temperatures are dropping, waiting isn’t realistic.
We keep common heating equipment in stock specifically for emergency situations. Most emergency installs can be completed same-day if you call in the morning, or within 24 hours if you call overnight. We’ve done plenty of late-night emergency installations and had customers back up and running by early morning. You’re not waiting three days for an appointment while your family freezes.
Federal tax credits currently offer up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump installations and up to $600 for high-efficiency gas furnaces. These are credits, not deductions—they reduce your tax bill dollar-for-dollar when you file.
To qualify, your equipment needs to meet specific efficiency ratings. Heat pumps need a SEER2 rating of at least 16 and an HSPF2 rating of at least 9. Gas furnaces need an AFUE rating of at least 97%. We install equipment that meets these requirements and provide the documentation you need for your taxes.
Texas is also rolling out additional rebate programs through 2025 that could provide up to $14,000 for qualifying households, particularly for heat pump installations. Income limits apply, and the programs prioritize energy efficiency upgrades. We stay current on available rebates and help you understand what you qualify for during your estimate. These incentives can significantly reduce your upfront costs, especially for heat pump installations.
