Heat That's Built for Houston.
A new furnace or heat pump should last you 18-25 years in Pearland's climate. The catch: most of that lifespan depends on what happens during the install. Right-sized, properly vented, combustion-tested, that's the difference between a system that just works and one that's a problem.

What's included in a Heating Installation
Heating installs in Houston have one big variable that AC installs don't: combustion. Done wrong, you're putting carbon monoxide in your home. Here's how we keep that from happening.
Manual J load calculation
Real engineering math on your home. Right-sizing matters even more on heat than AC, an oversized furnace short-cycles, wastes gas, and stresses the heat exchanger.
Side-by-side options
Three quotes in writing: gas furnace, heat pump, dual-fuel. Different brands, AFUE/HSPF ratings. We explain the trade-offs plainly so you actually understand what you're buying.
Combustion testing on every install
We test gas pressure, draft, and CO output at the registers before we sign off. Most installers skip this. We never do.
Honest financing options
Multiple lenders, multiple terms, including same-as-cash for qualified buyers. Tax credits applied to your quote automatically.
Signs it might be time for a new heating system
Heating systems give you warning before they fail. If a few of these sound familiar, an estimate is worth your time.
- Furnace is more than 18 years old
- Repair quote is more than half the cost of new
- Heating bills creeping up year over year
- Cracked heat exchanger detected
- Furnace short-cycling or running constantly
- Yellow flame instead of blue
- CO detector going off near the furnace
- Buying or selling a home in Pearland
- Want to add AC and heat under one heat pump
- Federal tax credit or local rebate about to expire

Lifetime relationship
First-year tune-up included. 10-year parts warranty, lifetime workmanship guarantee on the install.
What Pearland neighbors are saying
"Replaced a 22-year-old furnace with a heat pump. Clear the Air walked us through three options, showed us the tax credit math, and let us pick. Install was clean and on time. First winter and the bill is noticeably lower."
"Got two other quotes that wanted to push me into the most expensive system. Clear the Air listened to what we actually needed and recommended a mid-tier dual-fuel that's perfect. Honest people doing real work."
"What sold me was the combustion testing at the end. The tech showed me the CO reading at every register and explained what the numbers meant. Two previous installs at this house, never seen that done. Pros."
Frequently asked
Should I install a furnace or a heat pump?
Both work in Pearland. Heat pumps are very efficient in mild winters and double as your AC, so you replace one box instead of two. Gas furnaces deliver more heat faster on the few hard freeze nights. Many Pearland homes do best with a dual-fuel setup: heat pump for daily use, gas backup for hard freezes. We'll walk you through the math on each.
How long does a heating install take?
A like-for-like furnace replacement is usually one day, 6-8 hours. Switching from a furnace to a heat pump or adding new venting can extend to two days. We confirm the timeline 24 hours before we arrive.
How long will a new furnace last in Houston?
Because Pearland furnaces only run 200-400 hours a year (vs. 2,000+ in northern climates), they often last 20-25 years with annual maintenance. Heat pumps run year-round so they tend to live 12-18 years like an AC.
Are heating tax credits available?
Yes. The federal Inflation Reduction Act offers tax credits up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pumps and 30% on geothermal. CenterPoint Energy in Houston runs seasonal heat pump rebates. We track current programs and apply them to your quote automatically.
Do you do combustion testing?
Yes, on every gas furnace install. We measure gas pressure, verify draft, and test CO levels at the registers and at the unit. Many installers skip this entirely. We never do, a furnace pushing CO into your home is the worst possible outcome of a heating install.
What brands do you install?
Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Rheem, Goodman, York, American Standard, Bryant. We're factory-trained on several of them. We recommend the right brand and tier for your budget and home, not the one with the highest spiff for us.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Multiple lenders, multiple terms, including same-as-cash for qualified buyers. We show you payment vs. out-of-pocket math and let you choose.
Do you guarantee the install?
Yes. 10-year parts warranty (manufacturer), 10-year compressor warranty on heat pumps, and a lifetime workmanship guarantee on the install itself.
