FAQs
What does âup-front pricingâ mean for my HVAC replacement in Blountville?
Up-front pricing means we give you the total, guaranteed cost of the new equipment, installation labor, permits, and haul-away before any work startsâno hidden fees or surprise add-ons. Youâll see a written proposal itemizing everything, so you can compare options and make an informed decision without pressure or last-minute charges.
How can I tell whether I should replace my HVAC unit or just repair it?
We recommend replacement when the system is 10â15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, or has a major component failure such as a compressor or heat exchanger. If the repair cost exceeds roughly 30% of the price of a new, high-efficiency unitâor if your utility bills keep rising despite tune-upsâreplacement normally makes more financial sense and improves comfort and reliability.
How long will my HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most residential change-outs in Blountville are completed in one day. We arrive with all needed parts and equipment, remove the old unit, set the new one, connect ductwork and electrical, charge the refrigerant, and perform a full start-up check. Your heating or cooling is usually off for only 4â8 hours, and we schedule replacements to minimize inconvenience during extreme weather.
What brands and efficiency options do you offer, and which is best for the Blountville climate?
We install leading manufacturers such as Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and American Standard, with efficiencies from 14.3 SEER2 to 20+ SEER2 for air conditioners and 80% to 98% AFUE for furnaces. Because Northeast Tennessee experiences humid summers and chilly winters, we often recommend a high-efficiency heat pump paired with a variable-speed air handler or a dual-fuel system for maximum year-round savings.
Are rebates, tax credits, or financing available for a new HVAC system in Blountville?
Yes. Qualifying ENERGY STAR heat pumps and furnaces may earn up to a 30% federal tax credit (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps). TVA EnergyRight rebates and manufacturer promotions can add $200â$600 more. We also offer 0% APR financing for 12â60 months with approved credit so you can spread the cost over time while enjoying lower utility bills immediately.
How do you size the new HVAC unit for my home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, local design temperatures for Blountville, and even occupant lifestyle. This scientific approach ensures the unit isnât oversized (which causes short cycling and humidity issues) or undersized (which struggles on hot or cold days), delivering optimal comfort and efficiency.
