A heat pump can heat and cool the same house. In this climate, cooling is still the heavier load, and a licensed contractor should size and select equipment for the house they actually see. This page does not recommend a brand, a tonnage, or a SEER2 rating.
We do not have a Houston-specific Angi average that is limited to heat pumps. The closest published figures in the demand check behind this site are:
- Angi, Houston HVAC replacement, updated April 23, 2026: ductless mini-split $3,500 to $15,000. The same guide’s overall standard-system replacement average is $7,395, with most projects $4,930 to $12,325.
- Angi notes in that guide that contractors commonly recommend 16–18 SEER2 equipment in this climate. That is their reporting, not a specification from this site.
If your question is a repair on an existing heat pump, the Houston repair ranges on the AC repair and heating repair pages are the published starting point we have. A visiting contractor should say whether the job is a repair or a replacement.
