Heat pumps are not a one-size-fits-all solution. In rare Central Texas cold snaps, heat pumps may rely on auxiliary or backup heating to maintain comfort. They also depend on electricity, which can be a consideration during outages.
Additionally, improper sizing or installation can reduce performance, which is why professional evaluation is critical. That said, many perceived drawbacks come from older technology or systems not designed for the local climate.
Radiant takes a practical approach, helping homeowners weigh pros and cons honestly before recommending a heat pump.
