How to choose a heat pump installer in Texas
Licensed HVAC contractor, EPA 608 certified
Anyone who opens a refrigerant line must hold EPA Section 608 certification (federal), and Texas may license HVAC contractors on top of that. The outdoor unit and any backup heat strips need their own 240V circuits, which is licensed electrical work: ask who does it, who pulls the electrical permit, and confirm liability insurance plus a workmanship warranty, not just the manufacturer's parts warranty.
Insist on a Manual J load calculation
An oversized heat pump short-cycles, dehumidifies poorly, and wears out early; an undersized one leans on expensive backup heat. A good installer runs an ACCA Manual J load calculation on your actual house (insulation, windows, orientation, air leakage) and a Manual S selection that checks the unit's real capacity at your design temperature, not its nominal tonnage. If a quote is based on square footage alone, get another quote.
Compare quotes on ratings, cold-weather capacity, and scope
Line up quotes on the same SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings, the same ducted or ductless design, and the same zoning. In a cold climate ask for the rated heating capacity at 5°F and whether the system is a cold-climate model. Make sure each quote spells out duct modifications, line-set length, the electrical circuit, the thermostat, backup heat, the permit and inspection, and the commissioning (refrigerant charge and airflow verified, not just a thermostat test).
What to know before hiring in Texas
The largest utilities serving Texas homes are City of San Antonio (865,914 residential customers, 12.4¢/kWh), Austin Energy (507,291 residential customers, 12.6¢/kWh) and Entergy Texas (457,369 residential customers, 13.7¢/kWh). Your utility sets the rate your heat pump runs on, and it is also who an installer files interconnection or service paperwork with, so name it when you ask for quotes.
Check the license before you sign
The outdoor unit and any backup heat strips need new 240V circuits, which is licensed electrical work. Electrical contractors in Texas are licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Electrical Contractor business license; Apprentice, Journeyman, Master Electrician and Residential Wireman individual licenses.
