Ductless Mini-Split Installation in Texas: what's different
Ductless Mini-Split 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.
Texas is the largest HVAC market in the country and one of the most varied. Houston and the Gulf Coast are hot and humid, Dallas–Fort Worth sees extreme summer heat and winter ice, Austin and San Antonio are hot with mild winters, and El Paso and West Texas are hot and dry.
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 ductless Mini-Split 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.
