Heat Pumps in Texas: what's different

Heat Pumps 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.

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. Common systems in Texas: Central AC + gas furnace, Heat pumps, Attic air handlers, Zoned two-story systems.

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.
