Heat Pump Replacement for San Antonio Homes
Heat Pump Replacement in San Antonio
If your San Antonio home doesn’t have access to a natural gas service, you may benefit from a gas pump heating and cooling system.
Heat pumps don’t generate heat per se but draw heat from outside and push it into your home to keep it warm during colder months. It then does the opposite during the hotter months of the year.

How Can I Tell My Heat Pump Needs To Be Replaced?
Sometimes, it can be hard to tell when it’s time to replace your heat pump, rather than just call for repairs. Replacements are usually necessary when your heat pump has a more serious, larger issue than normal.
Here are some signs that it may be time for a new system:
- You’ve gotten it repaired many times: Have you gone to call for repairs and realized it was your seventh time this year? If you’re constantly putting money into fixing your heat pump, it may be time for a new one.
- Your energy bill is skyrocketing: If you’ve noticed higher and higher energy bills, it’s probably because your heat pump just can’t keep up with the demand of your home. You need a new one that can get the job done.
- There’s dust everywhere: Your dustpan can only do so much. If you’ve noticed dust building up in your home, it may be because your heat pump isn’t circulating the air effectively anymore.
- Your system is super loud: Hearing noises that are freaking you out? Chugging sounds from the heat pump? This means there’s a loose or broken part in there somewhere — and sometimes, too many broken parts mean it’s time for a new unit.
Damiani’s can walk you through the heat pump replacement process and help get your home back to feeling and operating like normal. Contact our professional team today to get started.
What Are Some Benefits of Getting a Heat Pump?
Heat pumps have many benefits. Here are a few of the best:
- They’re super energy-efficient: In heating mode, a heat pump features an HSPF of 8 to 10, which is pretty low. In cooling mode, they offer a rating of 14 to over 20. Bonus? They use significantly less electricity than a residence-based electric heater.
- No gas connection required: Heat pumps only use electricity. Because of this, there’s no reason to have a natural gas connection or propane storage.
- You get both heating & cooling in one system: It’s like a two-in-one deal. This also condenses all service and maintenance to one system, saving you money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average life expectancy of a heat pump?
The life expectancy of a heat pump depends largely on how you use it. Because there’s no combustion in a heat pump, they wear and tear more like an AC than a furnace. But they rarely last as long as an AC because they’re used for cooling and heating, potentially doubling how many hours they run per year.
Heat pumps can be expected to last between 10 and 20 years, with 15 as an average. Adjust lower if it’s being used as your primary source of heating and cooling year-round; adjust up if you only use it as a supplement for other systems.
How hard is it to replace a heat pump?
A heat pump is a relatively complex piece of HVAC equipment to install, especially in more complex systems, i.e., multi-zone mini-split systems.
It can be somewhat easier if you’re replacing a heat pump with an identical model and don’t need to make any adjustments to the lines or other components in the system, but even then, it’s not a DIY project.
Can an electrician install a heat pump?
An electrician is better equipped to tackle heat pump installation than your average layperson, especially since making sure your heat pump has a clean source of electricity is an important part of the process, but there are still quite a few components of the project that require specialist knowledge.
Electricians don’t frequently run refrigerant lines or find themselves considering drainage and airflow, after all. An HVAC technician who’s trained for the job is a far better bet.
Can you put a heat pump in an old house?
Yes, a heat pump can be installed into an old house — in fact, ductless heat pump systems are often significantly easier to install in older homes without ductwork than a traditional forced-air heating and/or cooling system because finding room for ducts can be a struggle without taking up limited space or dealing with architectural concerns.
