Most Houston homes heat with electric resistance or gas. Here is what switching to a heat pump looks like financially.
Houston has 1,500 heating degree days (Climate Zone 2). Standard heat pumps work well in this mild heating climate.
2,900 cooling degree days. Heat pumps are primarily cooling systems here, with heating as a secondary benefit. SEER2 ratings above 16 are recommended.
We install heat pumps with our own crews across Texas. No subcontractors, no lead selling.
Our crews live in Texas. We know CenterPoint (various REPs) rebate paperwork, local permits, and Houston building codes.
Climate Zone 2 requires proper equipment sizing. We use Manual J calculations for every Houston installation.
We handle all Texas rebate applications for you. Oncor paperwork, utility filings, and income-eligible programs if you qualify.
No overselling. We match the heat pump to your Houston home's actual heating and cooling load, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
NuWatt's Texas team will assess your home, recommend the right system, handle all rebate paperwork, and give you an honest price.
