A Dripping Springs replacement has to survive the way houses are built there. Heat pumps, sometimes with electric backup, in attic or closet installations. Houses are spread out, so arrival windows need a realistic drive. Days are hot and nights can drop harder than in central Austin. A heat pump has to be set up for both.
Dripping Springs is larger-lot Hill Country housing, much of it all-electric. Belterra, Caliterra, and Headwaters have real square footage, long duct runs, and heat pumps that carry both seasons. Downtown is smaller and older. A gas-furnace recommendation copied from Dallas is often the wrong starting point here.
AC Installation issues we see in Dripping Springs
Long drives and long duct runs
Larger lots still have attic flex that is too long. The far bedroom complaint is familiar, and we measure it.
New custom installs that skipped commissioning
Charge, airflow, and thermostat configuration are not optional on a Hill Country house with a lot of glass. We commission what the original install left unfinished.
What the visit includes
- Existing tonnage versus the house as it is today
- Duct condition, returns, and obvious leakage
- Electrical capacity and disconnect location
- Condenser location, clearance, and drainage
- Indoor coil match and line set condition
- Thermostat location and whether zoning is already there

How we handle the job
01Survey the house
We look at rooms, glass, attic ducts, and the equipment that is there. Photos are part of the quote.
02Quote options, not a single take-it-or-leave-it number
Good, better, and the duct work each option still needs. Efficiency is explained in plain language, not as a sticker.
03Install and walk through
Commissioning includes airflow, drainage, and a thermostat you know how to use. We haul off the old equipment.

Only if the old tonnage was right. We check the house first. Oversizing is a common Texas mistake and it shows up as short cycling and poor humidity control.
Removal of the old equipment, the new indoor and outdoor match we agreed on, electrical and drainage connections, thermostat setup, commissioning, and a walkthrough. Duct changes are quoted on their own line if you need them.
