FAQs
How often should I schedule professional HVAC maintenance in Calhoun?
For most homes in Calhoun’s humid subtropical climate, we recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in spring for the cooling system and one in fall for the furnace or heat pump. This timing ensures your equipment is inspected, cleaned, and adjusted before peak-season use, reducing the risk of mid-season breakdowns and keeping your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
What does an annual HVAC maintenance visit typically include?
A standard visit covers: complete system inspection; refrigerant level and pressure check; thermostat calibration; electrical connection tightening; condenser and evaporator coil cleaning; blower assembly cleaning and balance; condensate drain flush; safety control testing; lubrication of moving parts; filter replacement or cleaning; and a performance report that highlights any worn components or efficiency issues.
Why are automated maintenance reminders important?
Life gets busy. Automated reminders—email, text, or app notifications—help you remember to book service before seasonal demand spikes. Early scheduling means faster appointment options, prevents last-minute emergencies, and can extend equipment life by ensuring problems are caught while still minor.
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Consider replacement when your system is 10–15 years old, repair costs exceed 40% of the price of a new unit, energy bills keep rising despite maintenance, you experience frequent breakdowns (two or more major repairs in a year), or your home comfort suffers from uneven temperatures or excessive humidity. A load calculation by a licensed Calhoun contractor can confirm if a new, properly sized unit will solve these issues.
What are the benefits of installing a new high-efficiency HVAC system in Calhoun?
Modern systems achieve SEER2 ratings of 15–20+, cutting cooling costs by up to 40% compared with units installed a decade ago. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors provide steadier temperatures, lower humidity, and quieter operation. Many models qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates, reducing upfront cost. Reliability improves, and most manufacturers now offer 10-year parts warranties.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and what should I expect on installation day?
A standard like-for-like replacement usually takes one full workday (4–8 hours). The crew will: protect floors with drop cloths; recover and properly dispose of old refrigerant; remove the existing indoor and outdoor units; set the new condenser on a level pad; install the indoor air handler or furnace; connect refrigerant lines, electrical, and drains; pull a deep vacuum and charge the system; test operation; program the thermostat; clean up; and review maintenance requirements with you before leaving. Local permits and inspections are handled by the contractor and the City of Calhoun.
