Many Mission, TX homeowners replacing an aging furnace and AC are choosing a single heat pump instead, and the reason is efficiency. A heat pump does not burn fuel or heat a resistance coil; it moves heat. In cooling mode it carries heat out of the house, and in heating mode a reversing valve sends the refrigerant the other way so the compressor gathers heat from outdoor air and releases it indoors. That lets it deliver two to three times more heat than the electricity it consumes. Modern cold-climate equipment with inverter-driven compressors keeps working well below freezing, which the older units behind the technology's old reputation simply could not do.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.
Warning Signs for Heat Pump Installation
Spotting the early warning signs lets you act before the problem gets expensive. Keep an eye out for the following clues:
- Your utility company is offering incentives for heat pumps
- An older system that only survives on refrigerant top-offs and major repairs
- Uneven temperatures year-round with the equipment you have now
- Solar on the roof, or plans for it, and a goal of going all-electric
- An aging AC and furnace you would rather replace with a single system
- You want one system, one outdoor unit, and one maintenance schedule
- You want quieter, more consistent comfort than your current system delivers
- You heat with electric resistance, propane, or oil and the bills show it
Act Before It Gets Worse
Most HVAC failures start small, a weak capacitor, a squealing blower, a system that runs a little longer each week. If you notice any of these signs, call (956) 253-1451 for a prompt inspection.
