How long do HVAC systems last in Texas?

Due to the extreme heat and extended cooling season, AC systems in Texas typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Furnaces can last 15-20+ years since they see less use than in northern states.

What rebates are available for HVAC replacement in Texas?

Incentives change over time. Check with your electric provider and the equipment manufacturer for current rebates, and confirm eligibility for any tax incentives with a tax professional before you buy.
