FAQs
When should I replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Birchwood last 12–15 years. If your unit is nearing that age, requires frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep climbing even after tune-ups, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. Today’s high-efficiency models can cut heating and cooling costs by 20–40 %, quickly offsetting the upfront expense.
How do I know what size HVAC unit my Birchwood home needs?
Proper sizing is based on a load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window area, orientation, number of occupants, and local climate data for Birchwood. Our technicians perform a Manual J calculation to ensure your new system isn’t over- or under-sized, which protects comfort, efficiency, and equipment life.
What’s involved in an HVAC unit replacement and how long will it take?
Most residential replacements take one full working day. We begin with a pre-install inspection, safely recover and dispose of any remaining refrigerant, remove and recycle the old equipment, and prepare the ductwork, electrical, and refrigerant lines. The new indoor and outdoor units are set, lines are vacuum-tested and charged, and the system is started up and balanced. We finish with a homeowner orientation and cleanup.
Are there energy-efficient options available, and how much can I save?
Yes. We offer ENERGY STAR®-certified heat pumps and furnaces with SEER2 ratings up to 20+ and AFUE ratings up to 98 %. Depending on your current system’s efficiency, you could save $300–$700 per year on utilities. Birchwood residents may also qualify for federal tax credits (up to $2,000) and local utility rebates that further lower the net cost.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Birchwood?
The City of Birchwood and Hamilton County require a mechanical permit for any HVAC equipment replacement. As a licensed contractor, we handle the permit paperwork and schedule the final inspection. Passing the inspection confirms the installation meets building and safety codes and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC unit?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts warranty when the equipment is registered within 60 days. We include a one-year labor warranty and offer affordable maintenance plans that provide two precision tune-ups per year, priority service, and parts-and-labor discounts. Regular maintenance preserves efficiency, protects the warranty, and can add 3–5 years to system life.
