After 25 years, even a hard-working HVAC system deserves a break. This Lago Vista home had two older systems serving different parts of the house, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Instead of waiting for a breakdown in the middle of a Texas summer, the homeowner upgraded both systems with new heat pumps. The Radiant team replaced the aging equipment, tested heating and cooling performance, and helped give the home a fresh start with more reliable comfort.

- Additional Work (if any): Electrical whip replacement, low-voltage conduit installation, drain connections, equipment strapping, system testing, heating and cooling checks

What We Found
The home had two older HVAC systems, each serving a different area of the house. One system served the upstairs area, while the other served the downstairs. After roughly 25 years of service, the equipment was ready for replacement. Older systems can become less reliable over time, especially when they have to keep up with long, hot Central Texas summers.
The Solution
Radiant installed two new heat pump systems, one for the upstairs area and one for the downstairs area. The downstairs system was installed in the garage closet, while the upstairs system was installed near the pull-down attic access. The team also installed a new filter base and filter, replaced needed electrical connections, updated low-voltage conduit, and connected the drain lines. Once the equipment was in place, the team tested emergency heat, heat pump heating, and cooling to make sure both systems were ready to run.
The Results
This Lago Vista home now has two updated heat pump systems built to support more reliable comfort upstairs and downstairs. With the aging equipment replaced, the homeowner can feel more confident heading into hot weather and cooler nights. The new systems also give the home a fresh start with modern heating and cooling equipment instead of relying on decades-old units.
