Heating Installation & Replacement in Mission, TX and the Rio Grande Valley
100% Money-Back Guarantee on Every Install
Heating installation & replacement in the Valley is a different job than it is up north. A heater here might run fifteen or twenty days a year, so the right system is usually the simplest reliable one, not the priciest one in the catalog. Frontier Cooling & Heating has been installing heating systems in Valley homes since 2006, out of our office on Griffin Parkway in Mission.
We're family-owned and Latino-owned, licensed and insured, and we have earned the Carrier President's Award five years running. Every system installation we do is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.

What Heating Installation & Replacement Includes
Most Valley homes heat one of three ways: electric heat strips in the air handler, a heat pump, or a gas furnace. A new heating system starts with figuring out which one you have, and which one makes sense going forward.
On an electric system the job is often an electric furnace installation, or an air handler replacement with a new heat kit. On a gas system it is a new furnace matched to the existing venting, plus the coil and controls that tie it to your AC.
Then come the thermostat, the wiring, a look at the ductwork, and a full startup. For repairs, maintenance, and everything else on the heating side, see our heating services.
Signs It Is Time for Heater Replacement
Heaters in the Valley rarely wear out from hours. They wear out from age, humidity, and sitting idle most of the year.
Rust on the cabinet or the plenum. Heat strips that keep burning out. A gas furnace whose flame will not stay lit. Parts that are no longer made. Or a heating repair quote that comes close to the price of a heating system replacement.
Water is the other giveaway. An equipment closet that has soaked up condensate for years, with a rotted platform and a rusted plenum, usually means an air handler replacement and a new platform at the same time.
Electric, Gas, or Heat Pump: Choosing a New Heating System
Electric heater installation is the most common choice here. It costs the least up front, and in a climate where the heat runs a few weeks a year, the operating cost rarely adds up to much.
Gas furnace installation makes sense where gas already reaches the house. If a new furnace needs gas line installation or changes to an existing line, that part goes to a licensed gas fitter, and we will tell you up front if your project needs one.
A heat pump heats and cools from one outdoor unit and is usually the most efficient option, with heat strips as backup for the few nights that dip near freezing.
Electric Furnace Installation
A new air handler with built-in heating elements, sized to your house and your ductwork.
Simple and quiet, with no flame or venting to worry about.
Heat Strip and Heat Kit Installs
If your air handler is in good shape, heat strip installation may be all you need.
A heat strip / heat kit installation adds or replaces the electric coils inside the existing unit, sized to its rating.
Carrier Furnace Installation
Carrier furnace installation pairs Carrier equipment with a crew that knows it well.
We match the furnace to your AC so the two run as one system.
High-Efficiency Furnace Upgrades
A furnace in Amarillo might run five months a year. Here it is closer to three weeks.
High-efficiency furnace upgrades pay off where heat runs for months, so we show you the math honestly. For most Valley homes, a standard-efficiency unit is the better buy.
How Frontier Installs a Heating System
A new heater is only as good as the install behind it. These are the parts we never skip.
Sized for a South Texas House
An oversized heater short-cycles and wears out early. We size the heat to the house, its insulation, and its ductwork, not to the label on the old unit.
Wiring and Breakers Checked
Heat strips draw a lot of current. On every electric install we check the breaker, the wire size, and the disconnect, so the new system is not running on wiring meant for a smaller unit.
Ducts Looked at Before Reuse
A new heater on leaky ducts heats the attic. We check the ducts, and if they need work, our duct replacement crew can fix them during the same project.
Matched to Your Air Conditioner
The air handler and coil serve both heating and cooling, so the new heating equipment has to match your AC. If the AC is near the end too, we price AC installation and replacement alongside it.
Heating Install Day, Step by Step
A Home Visit Before Any Quote
We look at the house, the current equipment, the electrical service, and the gas supply if there is one. Then you get options and pricing before anything is ordered.
Next-Day Installation When Possible
In many cases we can install next day, sometimes sooner, depending on equipment availability and permitting. We confirm the timeline after the visit.
Startup and Thermostat Setup
We start the system, test every stage of heat, and set up the thermostat. Want an upgrade while we are there? Ask about a smart thermostat.
Yearly Care for the New System
Our Cowboy Kool Club membership covers routine tune-ups and priority scheduling, so the new system stays on a maintenance schedule.
Furnace Replacement Cost and Financing
New furnace cost depends on the type of system, its size, the efficiency you choose, and what the install requires, so we do not quote exact prices sight-unseen. We can give you a rough range over the phone and firm pricing after the home visit.
Financing is available on system replacements, subject to approval. See our financing options, or request a quote online.

Heating Installation & Replacement FAQs
Should I replace my heater or just repair it?
Heaters here run so little that repair is often the better value. We recommend heater replacement when parts are no longer made, the cabinet is rusting through, or the repair cost comes close to the price of a new system.
How much does heating installation & replacement cost in Mission?
It depends on the system type, size, and efficiency, and on the electrical and ductwork at the house. We give a rough range over the phone and firm options after a home visit.
Do you install gas furnaces?
Yes. Where gas already reaches the house, we install gas furnaces matched to the existing venting. Any new gas line, or changes to an existing one, is handled by a licensed gas fitter.
Can you install a new heater without replacing my AC?
Often, yes. A heat kit or a new electric furnace can go in with your current AC, as long as the air handler and coil are compatible. We check that during the home visit.
Can I finance a heating upgrade in the Rio Grande Valley?
Yes. Financing is available for system replacements, subject to approval. We also accept card, cash, Apple Pay, and other standard payment methods.
