Heat Pump Installation in San Antonio, TX | Year-Round Comfort

Heat pump installation typically costs between $8,000 and $18,000, depending on system size, efficiency rating (SEER2/HSPF2), brand, and installation complexity. Higher-efficiency models qualify for larger rebates and tax credits (up to $2,000 federal), which can significantly offset the upfront cost. We provide free, transparent estimates with detailed breakdowns of equipment, labor, and available incentives—so you know exactly what you're paying for and how much you'll save.

Heat pumps qualify for some of the best incentives available:

• Federal Tax Credit: Up to $2,000 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps (ENERGY STAR certified)

• CPS Energy Rebates: $350–$650+ for eligible systems

• State and Local Programs: Additional incentives may be available depending on your location and system type

We help you navigate all available programs and maximize your savings. Many customers recover 15-25% of their installation cost through rebates and credits.

Most residential heat pump installations are completed in 1–2 days, depending on system complexity, ductwork modifications, and whether you're adding a dual-fuel backup. We'll provide a clear timeline during your estimate and work efficiently to minimize disruption. If your old system fails and you need emergency replacement, we prioritize same-day or next-day service and can provide temporary heating/cooling solutions while we complete the installation.

Heat pump sizing depends on your home's square footage, insulation, ductwork condition, ceiling height, window efficiency, and sun exposure. An undersized system will struggle to keep up in extreme weather; an oversized system will short-cycle, waste energy, and fail prematurely. Our certified technicians perform a detailed load calculation (Manual J) to determine the exact size and capacity your home needs—ensuring optimal comfort, efficiency, and equipment longevity.

Absolutely. Heat pumps function exactly like traditional air conditioners in cooling mode—they're equally effective at handling 95-105°F summer temperatures. In fact, many high-efficiency heat pumps outperform standard ACs in both cooling capacity and energy efficiency. You'll enjoy the same reliable cooling you expect, plus the added benefit of efficient heating in winter—all from one system.

Modern heat pumps work efficiently down to 25-30°F, which covers the vast majority of San Antonio winter days. For the rare nights when temperatures drop into the teens or twenties, we recommend a dual-fuel system that pairs your heat pump with a gas furnace backup. The heat pump handles 90%+ of your heating needs (saving you money), and the furnace kicks in automatically during extreme cold—giving you the best of both worlds.

A properly installed and maintained heat pump typically lasts 15–20 years. At Yeti Cooling & Heating, we back every new installation with a 12-year parts AND labor warranty—one of the best in the industry. Most competitors only offer 10 years on parts and 1-2 years on labor. Our extended warranty covers both heating and cooling functions, giving you true peace of mind and protecting your investment for over a decade.

Not always, but it's important to have your ducts inspected. Leaky, undersized, or poorly insulated ducts can reduce system efficiency by 20-40%, leading to higher energy bills and uneven temperatures. During your free estimate, we'll evaluate your ductwork and recommend sealing, insulation, or replacement only if necessary. Proper ductwork ensures your new heat pump delivers maximum comfort and efficiency.

If your heat pump is over 10-12 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has a major component failure (compressor, reversing valve), replacement is usually the smarter investment. New heat pumps are 30-50% more efficient than models from 10+ years ago, and repair costs on aging systems can quickly exceed the value of the equipment. We'll provide honest, transparent recommendations based on your system's age, condition, and repair history—never pressuring you to replace if repair makes sense.
