When a homeowner in Shavano Park noticed their aging HVAC system struggling to keep up, they reached out to our Radiant San Antonio HVAC team for a full replacement. Several components were more than 20 years old and no longer reliable. Our crew performed a complete system installation, upgraded their indoor air quality, and set the home up with dependable heating and cooling for years ahead.

Job Overview

  • Location: Shavano Park, TX
  • Client Type: Residential
  • Scope: Full HVAC system replacement including indoor and outdoor equipment
  • Equipment Installed: Trane 1.5-ton heat pump, Trane air handler, Trane gas furnace, straight cool outdoor unit, evaporator coil, Solaris 12″ air quality system, electric heat kit
  • Additional Work (if any): Installation of float switches, wet switch, new Trane thermostat
  • Why It Mattered: A modern HVAC system improves reliability, lowers energy use, and keeps the home consistently comfortable through every season.

What We Found

The existing system had components ranging from 1 to 26 years old. The oldest equipment was well beyond its expected lifespan, while the newer pieces were mismatched and not performing as a unified system. This caused uneven temperatures, longer run times, and higher energy bills. The air handler and condenser were not delivering the efficiency the homeowner needed, and there were early signs of airflow restriction inside the old duct connections.

The Solution

Our installation team removed the outdated equipment and installed a complete Trane heat pump system, including a new air handler and thermostat. We added two float switches and a wet switch to protect against water damage, reconnected all refrigerant lines, sealed duct transitions, and verified proper airflow. The new IAQ system was integrated to improve the home’s indoor air quality. After installation, we tested heating, cooling, and airflow to ensure everything met manufacturer standards.
