A Helotes homeowner was dealing with an aging HVAC system that struggled to keep temperatures consistent throughout the home. With multiple older components and declining performance, it was time for an AC replacement and full system upgrade. Our team completed a full HVAC installation, replacing the system with a new Trane variable-speed setup designed for improved efficiency, airflow, and long-term reliability.
Job Overview
- Location: Helotes, TX
- Client Type: Residential
- Scope: Full HVAC system replacement, removal of existing equipment, installation of new heat pump system, thermostat upgrade
- Equipment Installed: Trane variable-speed heat pump condenser, air handler, and WiFi thermostat
- Additional Work (if any): Removal and disposal of old equipment, system testing and startup
- Why It Mattered: The homeowner needed a reliable system that could maintain consistent temperatures and reduce energy use during peak demand
What We Found
The existing HVAC setup included multiple older components, some nearing the end of their lifespan. The downstairs system, in particular, showed signs of wear and inefficiency, while other parts of the home had equipment of varying ages. This kind of mixed system often leads to uneven cooling, higher energy bills, and more frequent repairs. It was clear the system could no longer keep up with the home’s needs.
The Solution
We performed a full HVAC installation, removing the outdated equipment and installing a new 4-ton Trane variable-speed heat pump system. This included setting a new 5TWV8 condenser outside the home and installing a 5TEMC air handler in the garage closet with a heat kit. We also upgraded the system with a WiFi thermostat for improved control and efficiency.
All connections were carefully completed, including refrigerant lines using R-454B, electrical hookups, and airflow adjustments. After installation, we tested the system to ensure proper operation, checked performance levels, and confirmed everything was running efficiently and safely.
