What is the difference between a Heat pump and a Gas/Electric outdoor AC unit?
Carrier Heat Pump AC Unit
- Three home HVAC system types can be found in San Antonio and Austin: heat pump, gas, and electric. The outdoor AC unit or condenser of gas and electric systems is identical in cost and function. What separates a heat pump from a condenser is it both heats and cools. A heat pump uses the outside ambient temperature to heat and cool. Since it uses a chemical reaction, freon, to do all the heavy lifting, it uses far less energy to heat your home than the other two systems. This is why most homeowners in San Antonio and Austin use heat pumps for their homes.
Carrier Gas/Electric AC Unit
- Carrier gas and electric AC units are similar in function and cost. What separates these two air conditioners from a heat pump is that a gas/electric AC condenser only cools while a heat pump heats and cools. Gas and electric HVAC systems are less efficient in the winter than a heat pump, but in the summer, they all operate at the same energy efficiency. Since we use our air conditioners a lot during the summer but need our heaters little during the winter, these two systems are still great options for San Antonio and Austin. The price is a little lower for a Carrier straight cool electric AC unit replacement because it has only one function, unlike a heat pump.
Carrier Outdoor air conditioner Pricing Recap
Here is a quick recap on what you can expect to spend replacing your outdoor AC with a Carrier condenser. A Carrier 2-ton AC unit price will run around $3,200 to $3,500. When it comes to a Carrier 2.5-ton AC unit price should budget from $3,200 to $3,700. If you’re looking for a Carrier 3-ton AC unit price, you can plan on spending close to $3,400 to $3,700. A Carrier 3.5-ton AC unit price can be as low as $3,800 to $3,900 for a basic condenser. If your HVAC system calls for a Carrier 4-ton AC unit, prices will range from $3,800 to $3,900. If you have the largest system on the market, a Carrier 5-ton AC unit price will be about $3,900 to $4,200 with installation included.

Gas Furnace Replacement
- A gas furnace costs more than a heat pump or electric furnace due to the required safety features, resulting in a higher equipment cost and longer installation time. The San Antonio and Austin area requires a city inspection for all gas furnaces to ensure there isn’t any risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Heat Pump / Electric AC Unit
- Although these two furnace types are very different, the material and labor costs are similar.
