Cedar Park Weather and HVAC Load
In a normal year, Cedar Park racks up 1,903 heating and 2,746 cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Cooling carries most of the load. Heating equipment gets light use, so a furnace here often outlasts the AC it's paired with. On average, Cedar Park gets 27 freezing nights and 114 days above 90°F per year. For a 2,000 sq ft house, this climate points to a heating load somewhere near 35,000 BTU/h. Treat that as a starting number. A Manual J calculation will move it up or down based on insulation and windows.

NOAA storm reports for Williamson County show 29 hail days and 14 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 4 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Williamson County also had 3 tornado days in that period.

Texas Permits, Efficiency Rules and Rebates
Texas is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Expect the contractor to pull a mechanical permit for a replacement job in Cedar Park. If a bidder suggests skipping it, move on. Also ask for a Texas license or registration number and proof of insurance. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so incentives now come mostly from utilities and state programs. Check your electric and gas utility's rebate page before you pick equipment.
Before You Hire
- Ask your gas or oil company about rebates on condensing boilers.
- For a steam system, hire a contractor who works on steam regularly.
- Ask for a heat-loss calculation. A lot of old boilers are much bigger than the house needs.
