Dripping Springs heating equipment has to fit the houses already there. Heat pumps, sometimes with electric backup, in attic or closet installations. Houses are spread out, so arrival windows need a realistic drive. Many Dripping Springs homes heat with a heat pump, so winter backup is part of the job.
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.

New custom installs that skipped commissioning
