Balanced Comfort, Lower Bills—RGV Wide
Services for HVAC System Replacement
We design and install complete systems that match your space, usage, and budget. After a quick load/airflow review, we help you choose the right equipment (AC+furnace, heat pump, or ductless) and plan any duct, electrical, gas, or venting updates. On install day we protect the work area, remove old equipment, set and connect the new system, and commission it to manufacturer specs for reliable, efficient operation in Rio Grande Valley conditions.
We replace & install:
- Central AC + gas furnace (split systems)
- Heat pump + air handler (all-electric) and dual-fuel upgrades
- Ductless mini-splits (single & multi-zone)
- Package units/rooftops (light commercial/residential)
- Thermostats (smart-ready wiring/adapters as needed)
Code items & best practices (as applicable):
- Load/airflow checks and duct static-pressure review
- New or flushed line set, nitrogen-braze, pressure test & deep vacuum
- Correct breaker/disconnect/whip, dedicated circuit, and surge protection
- Condensate safety: traps, secondary pan, float switch, pump (if needed)
- TGas furnace: venting/combustion air, gas sizing with leak/pressure test, sediment trap
- Heat pump: outdoor clearances, thermostat compatibility, auxiliary heat setup
Upgrades & options:
- Efficiency tiers (SEER2/HSPF2/AFUE), variable-speed & two-stage comfort
- Duct sealing/repairs, added returns, and balancing
- High-MERV filtration/media cabinets; UV/IAQ accessories (on request)
Heat Pump vs. Gas Furnace (Dual-Fuel)—What Fits Best?
Modern heat pumps cool like AC and provide efficient heat for our mild RGV winters, often lowering energy use—great for all-electric homes. If you already have natural gas, a dual-fuel setup pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace, using the heat pump for most days and switching to gas on colder snaps for comfort and savings. Prefer to keep gas? A high-efficiency furnace + AC remains a strong choice. The right path depends on your utility rates, ductwork/airflow, and comfort priorities; we’ll size the system and recommend SEER2/HSPF2/AFUE options that make financial and comfort sense.
Know the Warning Signs in the Rio Grande Valley
When to Replace Your HVAC System
Frequent breakdowns, uneven rooms, rising energy bills, loud operation, refrigerant leaks, rusted/damaged coils, a cracked heat exchanger, or older gear (AC/heat pump ~10–15 years; furnaces often ~15–20) signal it’s time to replace. Systems using R-22 or lacking proper airflow/duct sizing are also prime candidates. We’ll compare repair vs. replacement with clear pricing so you can choose confidently.

What Our Customers Are Saying
HVAC System Repair Questions, Answered
Straightforward answers before you book—symptoms, costs, fixes.
Do I need to replace the furnace and AC together?
Not always, but matching components often improves efficiency, performance, and warranty coverage. We’ll evaluate compatibility and costs both ways.
How long does a full system replacement take?
Most like-for-like swaps finish in a day. Duct changes, electrical/gas/venting updates, or multi-zone ductless installs can add time—we’ll outline the schedule up front.
Heat pump or AC + furnace—what’s better for the RGV?
Heat pumps work very well in our mild winters and can cut energy use; dual-fuel is great if you have gas; AC + furnace remains a strong, familiar option. We’ll compare comfort and operating costs.
Will my existing ducts work?
We test airflow/static pressure. If returns are undersized or ducts leak, targeted fixes can protect the new system and improve comfort.
What efficiency should I pick (SEER2/HSPF2/AFUE)?
Choose the tier that balances upfront cost with usage. Higher ratings can lower bills—proper sizing and commissioning matter just as much.
