Common Types of Heater Installations We Perform
There are quite a few different types of heating systems available for your home. We know every home is different and every household has unique heating needs, which is why we offer such an extensive range of heating systems, including:
Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces run on your home’s electrical system, which heats and distributes warm air through your ducts. These furnaces generally need less maintenance than other heating systems.
Gas Furnaces
Gas furnaces are heating systems powered by natural gas that warm air and send it through your home’s ductwork. These furnaces provide dependable, fast heating.
Ductless Mini Split Systems
Ductless mini splits operate without ductwork. These systems use two units, an outdoor compressor and an indoor unit that draws in outdoor air to heat your home.
Signs It’s Time for a New Heating System in Lubbock
You don’t always need replacement, but there are clear signals that opting for a new heating system’s the right way to go.
The System Is 15 or More Years Old
Most furnaces last anywhere from 15 to 20 years, and that’s with proper heating maintenance. When you go past that range, your furnace won’t just stop working, but it’ll clearly dip in efficiency and that outright failure risk starts rising. If your system’s climbing past that age mark, heating replacement is worth thinking about, especially before any cold snaps.
Repair Costs Are Adding Up
A general rule: if a single heater repair will cost more than half of the total cost of the heating system, choosing a replacement is a better option. Repeated small repairs on the unit throughout the season is telling you that your system’s turning into a money pit.
Uneven Heating Throughout the Home
When you’re noticing some rooms staying cold no matter how long your heating runs, it’s probably undersized, worn out, or it can’t distribute heat the same way it once did.
Energy Bills Keep Climbing
This is one of the first, and clearest signs, that something’s wrong. A heating system dipping in efficiency will work a lot harder a lot longer just to reach that baseline heat you’re asking of it. That shows up on your monthly bill. If it comes as a total surprise, your system’s probably declining.
The System Struggled During the Last Cold Snap
People outside Hub City probably wouldn’t think it, but Lubbock has produced some of the most severe winter conditions in Texas. A system that couldn’t keep up during a hard freeze is a total liability heading into another winter season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does heating installation cost in Lubbock?
The cost depends on the type of system, BTU/tonnage, and if you need any ductwork modifications. A gas furnace replacement will usually be less than full heat pump installation. MAX provides upfront pricing before any work begins, and we offer financing, too, if you’d like it. We want to help our neighbors however we can.
What’s the best heating system for a Lubbock home?
THere’s no one answer, since every home’s different. It depends entirely on the size of the home, any existing infrastructure, and your energy preferences. Gas furnaces are essentially the default, given Lubbock’s access to natural gas. Heat pumps, however, have caught on more lately because they have great dual-season efficiency. MAX technicians walk through the tradeoffs for your specific situation before recommending a system.
How long does the heating installation take?
A typical residential job takes about a single day. New construction or installs requiring duct modifications may take longer. Your technician provides a timeline before work begins, so you’ll know the whole picture.
Should I replace my heating system before winter?
Yes, absolutely, especially if yours is showing any of those signs of decline. Fall is the best time because demand for HVAC services shoots up once the cold weather arrives. It means scheduling is easier in September and October than in January.
Does MAX offer financing?
Yes. Financing options are available for qualifying customers. Visit the financing page or call us for more info. It’s a pretty easy process, and we can walk you through it.
