A Better Home Setup: Full HVAC Installation in San Antonio

When this San Antonio homeowner noticed their old HVAC system struggling to keep up, they turned to our local Radiant team for help. Their mobile home relied on a nine-year-old air handler and condenser that were well past their prime, leading to uneven temperatures and rising energy use. Our crew completed a full HVAC system installation, giving the home reliable, efficient comfort again.

Job Overview

  • Location: San Antonio, TX
  • Client Type: Residential
  • Scope: Remove aging HVAC components and install a new high-efficiency cooling system
  • Equipment Installed: 14 SEER Trane outdoor condenser, Maytag air handler (existing in-closet installation)
  • Additional Work (if any): Equipment registration, quality control checks
  • Why It Mattered: The old system was no longer dependable, creating discomfort and higher utility costs for the homeowner.

What We Found

The existing air handler and condenser were both nine years old and showing clear signs of wear. Airflow was inconsistent, the condenser was struggling to maintain proper cooling levels, and the HVAC system could no longer meet the demands of the home during extreme temperatures. For this homeowner, that meant hot spots, long run times, and rising energy bills. A full replacement was the most reliable long-term solution.

The Solution

Our San Antonio HVAC team removed the outdated components and installed a new 14 SEER Trane condenser paired with the existing Maytag air handler. We updated connections, verified electrical and refrigerant integrity, and tested airflow to ensure everything was operating safely and efficiently. Once installation was complete, our technicians performed a full quality-control review to confirm the system met manufacturer standards.
