Many Austin, TX homeowners replacing an aging furnace and AC are switching to 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, a genuine engineering leap over earlier generations.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. If something has stopped working, start there.
