FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most equipment in Beersheba Springs lasts 10–15 years. If your system is approaching this age, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills have risen sharply even after maintenance, replacement is usually more cost-effective. New ENERGY STAR® units can cut heating and cooling costs by 20–40 %, quickly offsetting the investment.
What makes an “energy-smart” HVAC system different from a standard model?
Energy-smart equipment uses high-efficiency compressors, variable-speed blowers, and advanced refrigerants to deliver the same comfort with less electricity. Look for a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2) of 15 or higher for air conditioners and a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor 2 (HSPF2) of 8.8 or better for heat pumps. These ratings indicate lower energy consumption, reduced greenhouse-gas emissions, and lower utility bills.
Will a high-efficiency system actually save me money in Beersheba Springs’ climate?
Yes. Our area experiences hot, humid summers and chilly winters, so HVAC runs almost year-round. High-efficiency heat pumps or dual-fuel systems adjust capacity to match the load, minimizing energy waste during mild spring and fall days while still meeting peak demand. Homeowners typically see payback in 3–6 years through lower electric bills.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for upgrading to an energy-smart HVAC unit?
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) eScore rebates, manufacturer promotions, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act offer incentives of up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps and 30 % tax credits on installation costs. Our team will help you file the paperwork and verify equipment eligibility so you capture every available dollar.
How do I choose the right size HVAC system for my home?
Proper sizing is critical. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air infiltration, and occupancy. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run nonstop and leave you uncomfortable. The load calculation ensures you get the exact capacity—usually 1 ton of cooling for every 500–600 sq ft in Beersheba Springs’ climate, though every home is unique.
What should I expect during the replacement process?
A typical residential change-out takes one full day. We start by protecting flooring and furniture, recover refrigerant, disconnect and remove the old unit, and make any needed duct or electrical upgrades. The new energy-smart system is then installed, pressure-tested, evacuated, and charged with refrigerant. Before we leave, we verify airflow, calibrate thermostats, register warranties, and explain maintenance steps to keep your high-efficiency unit running at peak performance.
