FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
Most systems in Englewood last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep climbing despite regular maintenance, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Other red flags include uneven temperatures from room to room, excessive noise, and the use of R-22 refrigerant, which is being phased out and can be expensive to recharge.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Englewood home?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort and efficiency. We perform a Manual J load calculation that considers Englewood’s summer highs, winter lows, home square footage, insulation levels, window types, occupancy, and even appliance heat gains. Oversized units short-cycle, wasting energy and wearing components faster; undersized systems run continuously and never fully condition the space.
How much does an HVAC unit replacement cost in Englewood, and what factors affect the price?
A typical full replacement—including equipment, labor, new thermostat, and any required permits—runs between $6,500 and $12,000. Final cost depends on system capacity (measured in tons or BTUs), SEER or AFUE efficiency rating, brand, ductwork modifications, indoor-air-quality add-ons (e.g., UV lights or humidifiers), and whether you choose a single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed compressor. We provide written, line-item estimates so you can compare options easily.
How long does it take to replace an HVAC system, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
Most residential change-outs are completed in one day. Our crew removes the old equipment, sets the new condenser and air handler/furnace, reconnects refrigerant lines and electrical, installs the thermostat, and pressure-tests, evacuates, and charges the system. You’ll generally be without heating or cooling for 4–8 hours. We schedule around severe weather and can provide temporary portable units if needed.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available for new HVAC installations in Englewood?
Yes. Xcel Energy and other local utilities often rebate $200–$800 for high-efficiency air conditioners or heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover up to 30 % of the cost (capped at $2,000) for qualifying heat pumps and furnaces. Colorado RENU loans offer low-interest financing for energy-efficient upgrades, and manufacturers frequently run seasonal promotions.
How often should I maintain my new HVAC system to keep the warranty valid?
Most manufacturers require professional maintenance once a year for air conditioners and twice a year for heat pump or furnace systems. Our Precision Tune-Up includes coil cleaning, refrigerant check, electrical inspection, filter replacement, and written service records—documentation you’ll need if a warranty claim arises. Regular maintenance also helps your new system run at peak efficiency, lowering operating costs and extending service life.
