Heat pumps are a smart fit for North Texas, even if most people around here still think of them as a cold-weather technology. They heat and cool your house with a single system, run efficiently on mild winter days like the ones we get in McKinney, and eliminate the need for separate AC and furnace setups. Adon Complete Air Conditioning and Heating installs, repairs, and maintains heat pump systems across McKinney, TX, and the surrounding Collin and Grayson County area.
Whether you’re thinking about replacing an aging AC and furnace combo with a heat pump, your current system has stopped working, or you want it tuned up before the season changes, we can help. You’ll get an honest assessment of what your home actually needs, not a sales pitch for the biggest unit on the truck.

Are Heat Pumps a Good Fit for North Texas?
Yes, and they’re better than most people realize. Our winters here are mild. McKinney averages winter lows in the 30s and 40s, which is exactly the range where modern heat pumps run efficiently. They don’t have to work overtime to pull heat from brutally cold air, which is what gave heat pumps a bad reputation in the first place.
You’re also running the system all year. North Texas homes run AC six to eight months out of twelve, and a heat pump handles both summer cooling and winter heating. One piece of equipment doing two jobs usually means lower total cost over its lifetime. If your house doesn’t have natural gas, a heat pump skips the gas line situation entirely.
One trade-off worth knowing: when temperatures drop into the teens (a few times a year here), heat pumps can struggle. Most installations include backup heat strips that kick in automatically, using more energy but keeping you warm. We walk through all of this when we’re sizing a system.
Types of Heat Pumps
Not every heat pump is the same. Here are the two we install most often in McKinney homes.
Air-Source Heat Pumps
The standard option is what most people picture when they think of a heat pump. An air-source system has an outdoor unit that looks like an air conditioner condenser and an indoor air handler connected to your existing ductwork. It pulls heat from outside air in winter and reverses the process in summer. They’re the most common type for a reason: they’re efficient, they work well in the North Texas climate, and they fit cleanly into homes that already have ductwork.
Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps
A ductless mini-split system is a type of heat pump that skips the ductwork entirely. It uses a small outdoor unit connected to one or more wall or ceiling-mounted indoor heads. Each head runs its own zone, so you can cool the bedroom while leaving the guest room alone. Mini-splits are a smart choice for additions, garages, sunrooms, or older homes that never had ducts in the first place. They install faster than central systems and let you condition specific spaces without overworking a central unit.
Our Heat Pump Services
Whatever you need done with a heat pump, we handle it.
Heat Pump Installation
When you’re installing a new heat pump, the installation matters more than the equipment. A right-sized system installed correctly will outlast and outperform a top-of-the-line unit that was installed sloppily. We do real load calculations based on your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and orientation, then match you with a system that fits. We walk you through your options without the high-pressure pitch and give you a real quote before any work starts. If you’re also weighing a full system replacement, we handle AC installation and can compare options side by side.
Heat Pump Repair
Heat pumps can fail in some of the same ways an AC fails, plus a few of their own. Refrigerant issues, reversing valve problems, defrost cycle malfunctions, and electrical issues are the most common issues we get calls for. We diagnose what’s actually wrong, tell you what it costs, and you decide. If a small repair will buy you another five years on the unit, we’ll tell you. If the math says replacement is smarter, we’ll tell you that too. We also handle AC repair if your cooling side is the problem.
Heat Pump Maintenance
Heat pumps run year-round, which means they take more wear than a system that only runs half the year. Annual maintenance catches the things that quietly wear systems down: dirty coils, low refrigerant levels, loose electrical connections over time, and drainage issues. Our Adon Care Club HVAC maintenance plan covers heat pumps and includes two tune-ups per year, priority scheduling when something goes wrong, and discounts on parts and labor.

Why Choose Adon Complete for Heat Pumps
We’ve been working on heat pumps in North Texas for over 15 years. Here’s what that gets you.
Local, not corporate. We’re based here, our techs live here, and you won’t be transferred to a call center when you call. If you need us, you talk to us.
Trane Comfort Specialist. We’re factory-trained on Trane and service every major brand. You don’t have to switch what you’ve got to work with us.
Real load calculations on installs. A lot of installers eyeball the old unit and slap in the same size. We don’t. Heat pumps are especially sensitive to sizing, and we do the math up front so you don’t end up with a system that short-cycles or can’t keep up.
Upfront pricing. You’ll know what something costs before we start, and if we run into something unexpected mid-job, we stop and talk to you about it. No surprise charges.
We won’t oversell. If a $300 repair will get you another five years out of the system, that’s what we’ll recommend. If replacement is truly the smarter call, we’ll show you the math. We also work on furnaces and commercial HVAC systems if your needs go beyond heat pumps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do heat pumps last?
A well-maintained heat pump typically lasts 12 to 15 years in North Texas. Lifespan depends heavily on how often it’s serviced, how well it was sized in the first place, and how much it has to run. Heat pumps that run year-round wear out faster than equipment that runs only half the year, which is part of why annual maintenance matters.
How much does heat pump installation cost in McKinney, TX?
Heat pump installation in McKinney typically ranges from $5,000 to $12,000, depending on your home’s size, the system you choose, and whether you’re keeping or replacing existing ductwork. We give you a real quote after looking at your home, not a price pulled out of the air.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
At least once a year, ideally twice. Heat pumps run year-round, so they need attention before AC season and again before heating season. Most issues that lead to expensive repairs started as small problems that a tune-up would have caught.
Do heat pumps work well in Texas winters?
Yes. North Texas winters are mild enough that modern heat pumps run most of the time efficiently. When temperatures drop into the teens (a few times a year), most heat pumps use backup electric heat strips that automatically kick in to meet demand.
