Most homes in Bedford, Euless, and the rest of Tarrant County still have 15–25-year-old R-22 or early R-410A systems that were never designed for our summers or the power bills that come with them.
Side-discharge inverter heat pumps (especially the Goodman SD series we’re installing almost every week) change the game:
• They sit flat against the wall or on a narrow pad — perfect for tight side yards and zero-lot-line homes.
• Variable-speed compressors run at the exact capacity needed instead of slamming on and off. That means quieter operation and 30–50% lower cooling costs for a lot of our customers.
• R-32 refrigerant is more efficient and has a much lower global-warming potential than the old stuff.
• Better humidity control in those sticky May–September stretches.
If your system is still R-22 or an old single-stage 13–14 SEER unit, you’re basically leaving money on the table every month. We’ve been replacing a lot of dual original systems in 1980s–1990s homes with two properly sized 3-ton side-discharge units and dedicated returns. The difference in comfort and electric bills is obvious the first month.
