Heating Installation

Start with your home’s size and layout, how you use each space, and the comfort issues you want to solve (hot/cold rooms, noise, airflow). Then weigh energy efficiency, available fuel, and the controls you want (like smart thermostats). We’ll size the heating system correctly, compare options (furnaces, heat pumps, ductless mini splits, or a dual system), and recommend energy efficient systems that fit your goals and budget.

Our team explains trade-offs in plain language. You can understand upfront cost versus energy savings, space requirements, filtration and indoor air quality upgrades. At Austin Air Conditioning, we work hard so every homeowner can choose a new heating system with complete confidence.

The price of a new heater really comes down to your home and the features you want. A larger home or one with older ductwork will need a system with more capacity, which costs more than a smaller unit. The type of furnace or heating system you choose also makes a difference. Brands offer a range of models, from standard options to high efficiency furnaces with variable speed motors, and each comes with different features, warranties, and performance levels.

During your consultation, we’ll take a look at your home’s size and design, talk through what matters most to you, and then give you a clear written estimate that includes equipment, labor, and installation services. That way you know exactly what you’re getting before we get started.

Often, yes. Many homes benefit from a new furnace while keeping the existing air conditioning or heat pump for cooling. We verify coil compatibility, airflow, and controls to make sure both systems work efficiently together. If you’re planning to upgrade AC soon, we’ll outline timing so the whole system stays aligned for better efficiency and comfort.

If you prefer a single solution for both heating and cooling, we can also discuss heat pumps or dual systems that combine a furnace and heat pump.

Most heater installation jobs take one day. Straightforward replacements are faster. Projects that add zoning, update ducts, or relocate equipment can take longer. We set expectations up front with the arrival window, protection of work areas, and clean-up. We also keep you updated throughout the job.

After start-up, we calibrate, confirm temperature rise and airflow, and review your new controls so you can stay warm right away.

At Austin Air Conditioning, our installation processes is simple. That starts with treating your home with respect. We protect floors and surfaces, remove the old unit, set the new heating system, connect fuel or electric, verify venting and condensate, and commission the heating system. Commissioning is more than turning it on. Our certified technicians test safeties, dial in airflow, and confirm control logic for optimal performance.

Before we go, we walk you through operation, basic maintenance tips, filter changes, and recommended settings for comfort and energy efficiency.

Yes. Modern, energy efficient equipment, especially high efficiency furnaces with variable speed motors, uses less energy to hold temperature, reduces cycling, and evens out rooms for consistent comfort. Paired with smart thermostats, you’ll typically see lower utility bills and long-term energy savings, not just a warmer home.

We show you expected savings ranges and the settings that help you enjoy reliable heating without wasting energy.

It is. Our climate is cooling-dominant for much of the year, so the heater must integrate smoothly with air conditioning and balanced airflow. Right-sizing also matters. An oversized heater can create hot and cold spots and higher heating costs, while an undersized one struggles on the coldest mornings.

We design for quiet operation, energy efficient cycles, and controls that keep comfort steady without spiking energy consumption.

We install furnaces (the straightforward, strong-heat choice), heat pumps (high efficiency heating and cooling in one), ductless mini splits (targeted comfort where ducts don’t reach), and dual systems (heat pump plus furnace for efficient mild-weather operation with furnace backup). We also offer zoned heating and indoor air quality upgrades that improve filtration and control.

We help you pick the right heater, not just a new unit.

Plan annual maintenance before winter. A tune-up protects warranties, catches potential issues early, and preserves optimal performance and better efficiency. The simplest way to protect your new heating system is our maintenance plan. Every visit covers all requirements to protect your warranty and kep your system running reliably.

The best way to protect your new system is through simple, consistent care. Start by replacing air filters regularly so airflow stays strong and indoor air quality improves. Keep the area around your furnace or heater clean and free of clutter to reduce dust and prevent blocked vents.

Using a programmable or smart thermostat helps your system work more efficiently by adjusting temperatures automatically and reducing wasted energy. And always schedule annual maintenance before winter. Our team inspects, cleans, and tunes your system for optimal performance, fewer repairs, and better efficiency.

Most importantly, call Austin Air Conditioning at the first sign of trouble. Whether it’s unusual noises, uneven heating, or a sudden spike in heating bills, we’re here to keep your system running smoothly and your home warm all season.
