FAQs

How does replacing my old HVAC system lower monthly utility bills in Andersonville?

A modern high-efficiency HVAC unit uses advanced compressors, variable-speed blowers, and smart thermostatic controls that consume up to 30–50 % less electricity or natural gas than equipment manufactured 10–15 years ago. Because Andersonville experiences both humid summers and cold winters, an aging system can spend 2,000+ hours a year running at full capacity. By upgrading to a unit with a high Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) and Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), you’ll reduce energy waste during those hours, typically cutting annual heating and cooling costs by $300–$700 depending on home size and current rates from Georgia Power and Atlanta Gas Light.

Which efficiency ratings should I look for, and what do they mean?

For air conditioners and heat pumps, focus on SEER2 (cooling) and HSPF2 (heating). In Georgia’s climate, we recommend at least 16–18 SEER2 and 8.1+ HSPF2 to balance upfront cost with long-term savings. For gas furnaces, look at AFUE; a 95 % AFUE furnace converts 95 % of each fuel dollar into usable heat. You can also select ENERGY STAR®-certified systems, which exceed federal minimums and may qualify for rebates. Our comfort consultants can run a cost-benefit analysis showing payback periods for each efficiency tier.

How do I know it’s time to replace rather than repair my current HVAC unit?

Consider replacement when: 1) the unit is 10–15 years old; 2) repair costs exceed 30 % of the price of a new system; 3) utility bills have risen steadily despite regular maintenance; 4) your home has inconsistent temperatures or excessive humidity; 5) the system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced. Our technicians provide a detailed load calculation and life-cycle cost comparison so you can decide with confidence.

Are there rebates, tax credits, or utility incentives available in Andersonville?

Yes. Through 2032, the federal Inflation Reduction Act offers up to a $2,000 tax credit (25C) for qualifying heat pumps and $600 for high-efficiency furnaces or air conditioners. Georgia Power often provides $150–$300 per-ton rebates for ENERGY STAR heat pumps, and local EMCs offer low-interest energy-improvement loans. We handle all paperwork and will apply any applicable Andersonville municipal energy grants to lower your out-of-pocket cost.

How long does an HVAC replacement take, and will my home be without heating or cooling during the process?

Most standard replacements are completed in a single day—typically 6–8 hours—including removal of the old equipment, installing the new indoor and outdoor units, updating refrigerant lines, calibrating the thermostat, and performing a post-install inspection. Your home will only be without heating or cooling while the old system is disconnected and the new one is pressurized and tested (about 1–3 hours). We schedule around your availability and protect floors, walls, and landscaping throughout the job.

What is the expected cost of a new high-efficiency HVAC system in Andersonville, and do you offer financing?

Installed prices vary with size, efficiency, and ductwork condition, but most Andersonville homeowners invest between $7,500 and $12,500 for a complete high-efficiency heat-pump or AC/furnace package. After rebates, the net cost can drop by $1,000–$2,500. We partner with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to provide 0 % APR financing for 12–18 months or low fixed-rate plans up to 120 months, so you can spread payments out while enjoying immediate utility savings.
