Heat Pump Installation in Texas: what's different
Heat Pump Installation across Texas depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–4). Heat pumps fit hot-humid climates well because winters are mild, but the long cooling season means the outdoor unit works most of the year and needs its coil kept clean.
In Texas specifically: winter freezes. Rare but severe freezes strain heat pumps and can damage equipment and drains. Extreme summer heat: Long stretches of 100°F days wear out capacitors, fans and compressors.
Texas licenses air conditioning and refrigeration contractors through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). Every licensed contractor's number should appear on contracts and vehicles. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Installation.
Most of Texas uses a competitive retail electricity market on the ERCOT grid, with delivery companies such as Oncor and CenterPoint. Austin Energy, CPS Energy and other municipal utilities serve their cities directly. Atmos Energy, CenterPoint and Texas Gas Service supply natural gas.
