FAQs
What qualifies as a “high-efficiency” HVAC system in Dunlap, and how is efficiency measured?
A high-efficiency heating and cooling system typically carries a minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2) rating of 16 for air conditioners/heat pumps and an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of 95% or higher for gas furnaces. Efficiency is measured by how much heating or cooling output you get per unit of energy consumed. Higher SEER2 or AFUE numbers mean lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills by replacing my current unit with a high-efficiency system?
Savings depend on your existing equipment’s age and efficiency, your home’s insulation, and usage patterns. In Dunlap, homeowners who replace 10- to 15-year-old systems often see utility bill reductions of 20–40%. For example, upgrading from a 10 SEER air conditioner to a 16 SEER2 model can save roughly $400–$600 per year on cooling costs for the average 2,000-sq-ft home.
What is the typical cost of a high-efficiency HVAC replacement in Dunlap, and do you offer financing?
Installed costs generally range from $7,500–$14,000 for a complete high-efficiency furnace and air-conditioning package, depending on capacity, brand, ductwork modifications, and optional accessories like smart thermostats or indoor air quality add-ons. We partner with local lenders to provide low-interest financing, same-as-cash promotions, and utility rebate assistance so you can spread payments over 6–120 months.
How long does an HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A straight equipment swap typically takes one full working day (6–8 hours). If ductwork repairs, line-set replacement, or electrical upgrades are needed, installation may extend to two days. We schedule replacements to minimize downtime and usually have at least one zone operational by evening. Portable heaters or window AC units can be supplied in extreme weather.
Are there local rebates or tax incentives for high-efficiency systems in Dunlap?
Yes. Utility providers serving the Dunlap area frequently offer $200–$800 in rebates for ENERGY STAR®-qualified heat pumps, air conditioners, and 95%+ AFUE furnaces. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to 30% of the project cost (capped at $600 per AC/heat pump and $600 per furnace) when minimum efficiency criteria are met. We handle all paperwork to ensure you receive every available incentive.
What maintenance is required to keep my new high-efficiency system operating at peak performance?
High-efficiency equipment contains advanced components—variable-speed compressors, ECM blower motors, and modulating gas valves—that need regular tune-ups. We recommend: (1) professional spring AC and fall furnace inspections, (2) monthly filter checks, (3) coil cleaning every 1–2 years, and (4) thermostat software updates. Enrolling in our Comfort Club maintenance plan extends labor warranties and keeps manufacturer parts warranties valid.
