Heat Pump Services in Houston

In a city that’s almost always hot, good air conditioning is a must-have, and air-source heat pumps excel in Houston’s hot weather. 

If you’re looking to replace your old, inefficient AC, a modern heat pump is where it’s at. Not only will you enjoy savings by installing a new, efficient cooling system, but with a heat pump, you’ll also get super-efficient heating for those winter nights that drop into the 40s, replacing your expensive-to-operate gas or electric furnace. 

Because they lower your home’s carbon footprint, heat pumps also now come with generous federal tax credits or rebates. 

And you can rest easy knowing that if your heat pump ever needs scheduled maintenance or repair, One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating of Houston is here, ready to handle everything from tune-ups to heat pump replacement in Houston, TX.

Houston Heat Pump Installation and Care 

Heat pumps work by moving air over a compressor, heating or cooling it similarly to a refrigerator. They conserve more thermal energy than a standard AC, making them more efficient and an environmentally friendly cooling solution. 

We service air-source and geothermal heat pumps in Houston, as well as ducted (central air) and ductless (mini-split) heat pump systems. Whatever your brand or model, our technicians can install, maintain, and repair your heat pump. 

Heat Pump Installation in Houston 

If you don’t have any air conditioner at all or you’d like to replace an older, less efficient unit, we’ve got you covered! You’ll save money every summer by replacing a 10- to 15-year-old air conditioner with a new air-source heat pump. Our technicians expertly install a range of brand-new air-source and geothermal heat pumps. 

Air-source heat pumps themselves usually last about 10-15 years while geothermal systems can last 20-25 years before needing replacement. 

If your current heat pump system is older than 15 years and needs frequent repairs, our technician may recommend a replacement over a temporary fix. 

Houston Heat Pump Maintenance

Just like other HVAC systems, heat pumps run better and last longer when properly maintained. Since heat pumps do double duty as your cooling and heating system, schedule maintenance twice a year; once in April or May before the hot weather starts and again in the fall before the night-time lows get down to the 40s in December.

Our technicians will tune up your system, check for and fix any damaged or worn parts, and ensure everything runs as smoothly as it should so your heat pump keeps you and your family comfortable year-round.

Heat Pump Repair in Houston

Sometimes, your heat pump stops heating or cooling the way it should. When that happens, call us for repairs!

Here are the signs you need a heat pump service call:  

  • Heat pump blows hot air on the AC setting, or cold air on the heat setting.
  • System doesn’t run or turn on when it’s supposed to.
  • Indoor temperature doesn’t match the thermostat setting.
  • Strange noises or smells from the unit or vents.
  • A sweet chemical smell. (This indicates a refrigerant leak, which means you should turn off your system immediately and call for emergency heat pump repair.)
  • Short-cycling, or your system turning on and off more frequently than it should.
  • System running constantly.
  • Iced or dirty condenser coils.
  • A sudden, unexplained increase in your energy bills.

Houston Heat Pump FAQs

Do heat pumps work in Houston?

Yes! These efficient systems work in all kinds of climates, including ours. Heat pumps function very efficiently in mild to hot climates, like Texas’ Gulf Coast. They’re a great cooling option, especially since they can handle the occasional need for heating. If they replace a gas furnace or boiler, they eliminate the carbon monoxide risk from your HVAC while reducing your home’s carbon footprint.

How much money is saved in Houston with a heat pump?

The amount of money saved depends on how old/efficient your current air conditioner is. Heat pumps are slightly more efficient at cooling than older AC systems, but are roughly as efficient as modern air conditioners. 

A heat pump can save you money over the colder months by heating your home for less than the cost of a gas boiler or electric furnace. Savings depend on the current cost of the fuel source. However, heat pumps that replace gas-fired heating appliances will always reduce your carbon monoxide risk and lower your home’s carbon footprint.

Heat pump vs. AC in Houston: which is better?

A standard air conditioner only cools your home. Heat pumps, on the other hand, can heat and cool your home. This means that you don’t need a separate furnace to handle Houston’s near-freezing winter lows.

If your home doesn’t have ductwork, heat pumps are a good go-to cooling solution. A mini-split system distributes air through overhead air handles, no ducts required.

“Alex Prince was an outstanding technician. He was honest, upfront, and took the time to recommend the best option for my unit. He was incredibly patient and understanding of my preferences for the new unit installation at my property. Alex made sure I received exactly what I asked for. Moving forward, I wouldn’t want anyone else to service my unit. His honesty and professionalism made the entire buying process smooth and stress-free. I will definitely request Alex for all future maintenance!”

“Highly recommend Mr Velasquez for his amazing servicing knowledge, very engaging conversation of the task at hand and other topics that really enhance the experience. The young man allowed me to follow him in his procedures and gave me tips for noninvasive yet effective upkeep of these valuable components that keep us cool/warm. I have been nothing but satisfied with the subscription and the complimentary services throughout the last year, Erick came through and elevated the regards just in his 45 minute visit. Thanks 👍🏾 Morris”

“Update, the company sent out a experienced technician who put a lock in, checked and toped off the freon as well as found that the previous tech had left the drain valve closed when checking it. Thank you to Brady Gipson for double checking everything. I did ask that if they sent another new up and coming technician to my home that they send a supervisor or trainer with them. They understood and I really appreciate the mutual communication I have with this company. I am very honest and direct but also understanding too. March 2025, time for spring clean and inspection. I had a new technician,Luis, who was so meticulous an checked every single thing. He advised it should take a couple hours when I've had technicians in the past here only 30 min. Luis stayed in contact with his supervisor for all recommendations. I was worried when checking the blower Luis let out a large cloud of freon and had a little trouble closing it using his bare hand. He wasn't afraid but I was for him. They did have some recommendations and they do have a number of services available like duct disinfecting. I believe in supporting our up and coming. I plan to contact the office to make sure he is okay and that the freon level is topped off as well as a round plastic lock is replaced that was broken on a previous visit. 11/11/2024 update! He did it again! Jacorey diagnosed a problem and solved it with my upgraded hvac sysyem. We had a high humidity and high reading. We contacted Jacorey, and he ran some checks and said he thought we should start with the thermostat. He tried to reset the thermostat that didn't work well, so we ordered one. Wow! It's been so nice since i installed it. Im not sure it's worked this well. I have a dehumidifier inside my home, and it is not running all the time. Jacorey is your man! You can trust him not to try to just sell but really improve your air. My system is in great condition now with all his suggestions. Update! One hour arrived to update my system, as my technician Jacorey suggested. They put in a better large filter system and larger duct for the longest further bedroom that wasn't cooling well. I am highly pleased with this group of technicians. The upgrades were felt immediately! My daughter has been uncomfortable living in the front part of the home, and that is now solved. Not only cleaner air and more air movement, but they suspended the ducts so I could manage to get around them easier and safer. I do not know why the builder of these homes would put the smallest duct on the farthest rooms and branch them off, too. There was barely any air going through. Jacorey is my permanent technician now, and one hour is my company that will handle my hvac. The office ladies are fabulous and very customer service targeted. Thank you, Jacorey! For thoroughly checking and cleaning the system and then suggesting reasonable and affordable remedies to the problems. I hope they are paying you well! You are a gem! Jacorey and I hit it off personality wise great better yet he explained in detail what I could do to upgrade my system then to make his visit even more impressive he discovered an area of my system that had not been properly cleaned by a previous company so he cleaned it. Love this man, and his work ethic is notable. No playing with terms either a complete hvac is a whole system, not just half of it. Smart man.”
