Heat pumps are an excellent heating and cooling solution for the Texas climate. Unlike traditional furnaces that generate heat by burning fuel, heat pumps move heat from one place to another — extracting heat from outdoor air in winter to warm your home, and removing heat from indoor air in summer to cool it. This process is highly energy efficient, making heat pumps one of the most economical ways to heat and cool a home in mild to moderate climates.
Texas winters are generally mild enough for heat pumps to operate efficiently for most of the heating season. For the occasional extreme cold snap, a dual fuel system — which pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace backup — provides the best of both worlds: efficient heat pump operation in mild weather and reliable gas heat when temperatures drop below the heat pump's efficient operating range.
Rodriguez Climate Control LLC installs, repairs, and maintains all types of heat pump systems. Our technicians are trained and experienced with air source heat pumps, ductless mini-split heat pumps, and dual fuel hybrid systems.
Heat pumps are generally reliable, but like all mechanical equipment, they can develop problems over time. Common heat pump issues include refrigerant leaks, compressor problems, reversing valve failures, defrost control issues, and electrical component failures. Our technicians are experienced with diagnosing and repairing all types of heat pump problems.
