Austin Heater Replacement

Why You Should Call Efficient for Your Heating Installation

When cold weather strikes in Texas, you want to be able to count on your heater. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider our team for your heating installation:

• • We won’t try to sell you one if you don’t need one. If you need a simple heater repair instead of a full replacement, we’ll be honest with you and only do the work required.
  • We’ve been providing HVAC services in the greater Austin, Texas area since 1976. We’ll be around to help you maintain your heater and air conditioner for years to come.
  • We’re a top-rated Austin heating contractor. Read our reviews, and see for yourself why Austin home and business owners have put their trust in Efficient AC, Electric & Plumbing.
  • Our on-site estimates for heater replacements aren’t just free – they’re thorough. A “free” estimate that doesn’t give you all the information you need to make a good investment will end up costing you in the long run. That’s why we don’t just look at your heater and AC – we look at all the environmental factors in your space that affect your comfort, including the duct system, which plays a critical role in how your unit performs. 
  • We offer financing. We know that AC and heating installation is a significant investment – and that it sometimes comes up unexpectedly. We have financing available to give you the flexibility you need.

Our Approach to Heater Replacement

At Efficient, we do not believe in “condemning” HVAC equipment just because it is not in optimal shape. An air conditioner past its prime should be considered for replacement, but the owner should be able to take a reasonable risk if they desire. That’s because an air conditioner failure is usually just a comfort and/or convenience issue. This is not true for heaters. When in need of repair, they may be  mechanically unsafe. In those cases, it’s in no one’s best interest to continue to run them. Rotted heat exchangers and other heat-related damage are the most common culprits, and these should be addressed before the next heating season. 

Heaters are not usually replaced on their own in southern climates like Austin. Why? Typically, air conditioners have shorter life, and heaters are replaced each time the whole system is replaced. Homeowners should always be wary of an air conditioner replacement proposal which reuses the old heater, unless it is much newer. It is best and most cost effective to replace everything and start over. By doing so, heater condition is rarely an issue with proper routine maintenance.

What To Expect from Our Heater Replacement Process

If you opt to replace your furnace on its own, we’ll perform an assessment to choose the correct model to match your existing system. You can expect a free quote and time to decide as needed. On replacement day, the work can take between two and six hours, depending on configuration, access and complexity. Once complete, your furnace will heat quickly and efficiently for many years to come with minimal maintenance.

Our Heater Replacement Service Area

Any heater should be installed by a licensed, reputable contractor with experience. Codes, laws and manufacturer installation instructions must be followed. Failure to do so can pose health and safety risks beyond those of non-gas appliances. You can trust Efficient to prioritize your long-term well-being, not just your short-term comfort.
