FAQs
What kinds of whole-home air-conditioning systems do you install in Ducktown?
We design and install three main types: high-efficiency split systems (one outdoor condenser, one indoor evaporator coil), packaged rooftop units for homes with limited indoor space, and variable-speed heat-pump systems that both heat and cool. After a load calculation and ductwork inspection, we recommend the option that fits your square footage, insulation level, and budget.
How energy-efficient are modern central air conditioners compared with older units?
Today’s systems reach Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER2) of 14.3–20+, which is roughly 30–50 % more efficient than equipment installed 10–15 years ago. In practical terms, that can cut Ducktown cooling bills by $250–$500 a year, while variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats maintain more consistent indoor temperatures.
How do I know what size air conditioner my Ducktown home needs?
Proper sizing requires a Manual J heat-gain/heat-loss calculation that factors in square footage, window orientation, insulation, air leakage, and local climate data. An undersized unit will run constantly and still feel warm; an oversized unit will short-cycle, wasting energy and leaving humidity behind. We perform the calculation at no charge during an in-home consultation and provide a detailed report before you decide.
What routine maintenance does my whole-home HVAC system require?
1) Replace or clean filters every 30–90 days. 2) Hose off the outdoor condenser coil each spring. 3) Keep 18 in. of clearance around the unit. 4) Schedule a professional tune-up each spring and fall to check refrigerant charge, electrical components, airflow, and thermostat calibration. Regular maintenance can extend equipment life by 5 years and maintain up to 95 % of the original efficiency.
Can I improve indoor air quality while upgrading my air conditioner?
Yes. We can integrate high-MERV media filters, UV-C germicidal lights, whole-home dehumidifiers, and energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) into the same duct system. These accessories capture fine dust, neutralize bacteria and viruses, control humidity, and introduce fresh outdoor air without losing cooling efficiency—especially valuable in Ducktown’s humid summers.
Are there financing or rebate options for new HVAC installations in Ducktown?
We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 60 months on qualifying systems, plus instant manufacturer rebates of $200–$1,200. Ducktown Electric ’s residential efficiency program currently offers a $300 rebate for units rated 16 SEER2 or higher, and you may qualify for a federal tax credit of up to 30 % (maximum $2,000) on ENERGY STAR heat pumps under the Inflation Reduction Act. Our team completes all paperwork and deducts rebates upfront so you see the savings immediately.
