Professional Heating in Friendswood, TX

Galveston winters are mild compared to most of Texas, but they still catch people off guard. Temperatures drop into the 30s and 40s from December through February, and the Gulf wind makes it feel colder than the thermometer reads. When a cold front pushes through and your heat doesn't kick on, you find out fast that "mild winter" doesn't mean you can skip heating service. Coastal Eco Heating & Air provides corrosion-resistant heating solutions for every system type — heat pumps, electric furnaces, ductless mini-splits, and dual-fuel setups — all built to last in salt air.

The coast creates a unique problem for heating equipment. The same salt air that attacks your AC condenser attacks your heat pump's outdoor unit year-round. Corrosion doesn't take winters off. Standard heating equipment installed without coastal protection degrades faster, loses efficiency, and fails sooner than it should. We install and service heating systems with corrosion-resistant coils, marine-grade hardware, and protective coatings so your equipment holds up against the environment it actually lives in.

Heating Services for Coastal Homes

This category covers everything related to keeping your home warm. Heat pump installation and repair — the most popular option on the Gulf Coast since heat pumps handle both heating and cooling efficiently in our mild climate. Electric furnace service for homes that use dedicated heating units. Ductless mini-split installation for older Galveston Island homes and additions that don't have ductwork. Heating tune-ups that include coastal corrosion inspection. And 24/7 emergency heat repair, because a failed system during a hard freeze doesn't wait for business hours.

We also help homeowners figure out the right heating setup for their situation. Many homes in Galveston County were built with systems that made sense decades ago but don't match current efficiency standards or the homeowner's actual needs. If you're heating a drafty Galveston Island bungalow with an aging electric furnace, a heat pump upgrade could cut your heating costs significantly while also improving your summer cooling. If you have a newer League City home with good insulation, a properly sized heat pump is usually the best option. We'll walk through what makes sense for your home, your budget, and the coastal conditions your equipment faces.

Why Coastal Heating Is Different

Most of the Gulf Coast rarely sees temperatures below 40 degrees. That makes heat pumps the go-to choice — they run efficiently down to about 35 degrees and handle heating and cooling in one system. But the outdoor unit sits in salt air 365 days a year, which means coil protection, corrosion-resistant components, and regular maintenance matter just as much for heating as they do for cooling.

Humidity plays a role in winter comfort too. Cold, damp air feels worse than cold, dry air at the same temperature. A heating system that warms the air but doesn't manage moisture leaves your home feeling clammy even when the thermostat reads 70. We configure systems and recommend thermostat settings that account for Gulf Coast winter humidity — keeping you warm and dry, not just warm.

Hurricane season runs June through November, but the aftermath can affect heating systems well into winter. Storm surge, flooding, and power surges damage outdoor equipment. If your heat pump took a hit during hurricane season and you didn't get it checked, you might not find out until the first cold snap. We offer post-storm inspections and repair service to make sure your heating system is ready before you need it.
