FAQs
How can I tell whether my aging HVAC system in Apison needs replacement instead of another repair?
Most systems last 10–15 years. If yours is in that range and you notice rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, excessive noise, frequent breakdowns, or if it still uses R-22 (Freon) refrigerant, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs. A free onsite evaluation can confirm the condition of your compressor, heat exchanger, and airflow to help you decide.
What replacement options are available and how do I choose the right size HVAC unit?
Common options in Apison include high-efficiency central air conditioners paired with gas furnaces, all-electric heat pumps, and dual-fuel (hybrid) systems that automatically switch between electric and gas. Proper sizing is critical—an undersized unit will run constantly while an oversized one will short-cycle and waste energy. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and local climate data before recommending tonnage and system type.
How much does it cost to replace an HVAC unit in the Apison area?
Installed prices typically range from $6,000 to $14,000, depending on system capacity, SEER2/HSPF efficiency ratings, duct modifications, thermostat upgrades, and any indoor air-quality add-ons such as UV lights or humidifiers. We provide a written, line-item estimate so you can see exactly where your investment goes and compare options side by side.
What energy savings can I expect from a high-efficiency replacement?
Upgrading from a 10-SEER system to a current 16–18 SEER2 heat pump or AC can cut cooling costs by 30–40%. High-efficiency furnaces with AFUE ratings of 95% or better can reduce winter gas usage by 15–20% compared with 80% models. Over the equipment’s lifetime, many homeowners recoup thousands of dollars in lower utility bills while enjoying stronger, more even comfort.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and what happens on install day?
Most residential change-outs are completed in one day. Our crew arrives on time, protects flooring with drop cloths, safely removes and recycles the old equipment, installs the new indoor and outdoor units, pressure-tests and evacuates the refrigerant lines, connects electrical and gas, and performs a full system startup. We finish with a customer walk-through, thermostat tutorial, and cleanup—leaving your home as neat as we found it.
Are rebates, tax credits, or financing available for Apison homeowners?
Yes. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can provide up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps and $600 for high-efficiency furnaces or ACs. Local utility rebates often add $150–$400 more, and we partner with lenders who offer low-interest financing and 0% promotional plans. We’ll handle all paperwork and show you how incentives can lower your out-of-pocket cost.
