FAQs
How do I know itâs time to replace my heating or air-conditioning system instead of repairing it?
Most units are designed to last 10â15 years. If your equipment is past that age, needs frequent or expensive repairs, struggles to maintain set temperatures, or causes unusually high energy bills, replacement is usually more cost-effective. During an in-home evaluation, our comfort advisor will measure operating efficiency, check critical components, and compare the long-term costs of repair versus replacement so you can make an informed decision.
What types of HVAC systems do you install in Clinton homes, and how do I choose the right one?
We install high-efficiency gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, central air conditioners, dual-fuel systems, and ductless mini-splits. The ideal choice depends on square footage, existing ductwork, fuel availability, insulation levels, and your comfort goals. After a load calculation, we present several optionsâincluding SEER2 and AFUE ratingsâexplain upfront and operating costs, and tailor the system to your budget and lifestyle.
How long does a full system replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A typical like-for-like replacement in Clinton can be completed in one day, while projects that include duct modifications or new refrigerant lines may take up to two days. Your old unit is removed first thing in the morning, and we stage the new equipment so downtime is usually limited to a few hours. We always leave at least one zone operational in multi-system homes and schedule summer or winter replacements to minimize discomfort.
Are permits or inspections required for HVAC replacements in Clinton, and do you handle them?
Yes. The City of Clinton and DeWitt County require mechanical permits and a post-installation inspection to verify code compliance, safe venting, and proper refrigerant handling. Our team files all paperwork, pays the permit fees, schedules inspections, and provides you with final approval documents for your records. You donât have to navigate any municipal red tape.
What energy savings can I expect from a modern high-efficiency system?
Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner with a 16-SEER model can cut cooling costs by up to 40 %, while upgrading an 80 % AFUE furnace to a 96 % unit can reduce heating expenses by 20 % or more. Variable-speed compressors, ECM blower motors, and smart thermostats further lower usage by matching output to demand. Most homeowners in Clinton recoup the initial investment through utility savings within 5â7 years.
Do you offer financing, rebates, or warranties for system replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local banks and national lenders to provide 0 % APR or low-interest financing plans up to 120 months. As an authorized dealer, we process manufacturer rebatesâoften $200â$1,200âand Ameren Illinois energy-efficiency incentives for qualifying equipment. Every installation includes a 10-year parts warranty, a 1-year labor warranty (extendable to 10 with our maintenance plan), and our 100 % satisfaction guarantee.
