A contractor quoting a heat pump installation in Montague County has to size for what this area actually runs against, not for a catalog average. 111 severe weather events were recorded in Montague County, Texas between 2015 and 2024. At that rate, severe weather is part of the normal operating environment, and a system sized without accounting for it will be undersized for the load it meets in practice. The equipment a contractor specifies here, and the way they seal and support the install, follows from that reality.
Ductwork laid out for a central system designed around different airflow assumptions is what a contractor has to size a new heat pump against, and in Montague County that is the starting point for most jobs. Half the homes in Montague County, Texas were built in 1979 or earlier (2020-2024 ACS 5-year). Electrical service is a separate question, but the duct layout is the one that drives the scope. A heat pump moves air differently than the equipment those ducts were built for, so a contractor will map airflow and static pressure before anything else gets priced.
What a Heat Pump Installation Covers
The outdoor unit sits on a pad beside the house and holds the compressor and the coil that exchange heat with the outside air. The indoor air handler mounts inside, usually in a closet, attic, or utility room, and moves conditioned air through the home. A contractor places both units and connects them as a matched pair.
A refrigerant line set runs between the two units, carrying the working fluid back and forth through insulated copper tubing. A thermostat goes on an interior wall where it can read the home's temperature and signal the system to run. The condensate drain line runs from the air handler to a suitable drain point to carry off any moisture the system pulls from the air.
The drawing shows a typical layout, and a licensed contractor determines exactly how each piece fits the conditions of your specific house.
