Recommended unit for Bedford

High-SEER2 heat pump

Given Texas’s hot-humid climate and mixed heating, high-seer2 heat pump is the sensible default for most Bedford homes. With a long, hard cooling season here, stepping up the SEER2 tier pays back through lower summer bills. A pro can confirm the right size and system for your home with a load calculation.

What Bedford code requires

Installing or replacing an HVAC system in Bedford follows Texas rules under the state mechanical code. Here’s what applies statewide:

Permit
Mechanical permit pulled by your licensed HVAC contractor; covers equipment, refrigerant, and the electrical disconnect.
Required
SEER2 minimum
Federal Southeast-region minimum for new split-system AC. Higher tiers cut bills and unlock rebates.
14.3 SEER2 (Southeast, <45k BTU)
Load calculation
Sizing by load calc — not rule of thumb — prevents an oversized unit that short-cycles and never dehumidifies.
Recommended
Refrigerant
R-454B / R-32 (R-410A phased down 2025+)
Good to know
HVAC work must be done by a TDLR-licensed Air Conditioning & Refrigeration contractor, and the licensed contractor (not the homeowner) pulls the required mechanical permit.
