FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
A replacement usually makes sense if your system is 10–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, or your utility bills have been steadily climbing even after routine maintenance. Older systems often operate at 65–80 % efficiency, while today’s ENERGY STAR® units reach 96 % AFUE for furnaces and 20+ SEER2 for air-conditioners and heat pumps—dramatically lowering operating costs in Clinton’s hot summers and chilly winters.
How much can a high-efficiency HVAC system lower my energy bills in Clinton?
Most homeowners see 20 – 40 % savings when upgrading from a builder-grade or 10-SEER system to a 16–20 SEER2 air-conditioner or heat pump and a 95 %+ AFUE gas furnace. The exact reduction depends on your home’s size, insulation, duct condition, and thermostat habits, but many customers in the Clinton area report recouping the upfront cost through utility savings within 5–7 years.
What HVAC size or capacity is right for my home?
Proper sizing is critical. An oversized unit short-cycles, wasting energy and wearing parts; an undersized unit runs nonstop and can’t keep you comfortable. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in your home’s square footage, insulation R-values, window orientation, local climate data for Clinton, and even household occupancy. This ensures you get a system that maximizes comfort, efficiency, and longevity.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for HVAC replacement in Clinton?
Yes. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act offer up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps and $600 for high-efficiency furnaces and A/Cs. Entergy Mississippi often provides $150–$400 rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified equipment, and the City of Clinton occasionally offers utility incentives. We handle the paperwork and also offer 0 % APR financing for 12–60 months to spread out remaining costs.
How long will the replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
Most residential change-outs are completed in a single day. We schedule the installation when outdoor conditions are mild if possible, bring temporary heaters or portable A/C units for extreme weather, and coordinate electrical and ductwork upgrades in advance to minimize downtime. After installation, we test airflow, refrigerant charge, and thermostat integration so your comfort is restored before we leave.
What maintenance does my new HVAC system need to keep energy bills low?
Change or clean filters every 1–3 months, keep outdoor condenser coils clear of debris, and schedule professional tune-ups twice a year—spring for cooling components and fall for heating. During these visits we check refrigerant levels, tighten electrical connections, lubricate motors, and verify airflow. Consistent maintenance preserves the manufacturer warranty, maintains peak efficiency, and can prevent a 5–10 % annual spike in energy usage.
