FAQs
How can I tell if it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Erwin reach the end of their dependable service life at 12–15 years. If your unit is that age or older, needs frequent or costly repairs, uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, or causes noticeably higher utility bills and uneven temperatures, replacement is usually the smarter investment. A professional inspection will confirm whether repair or replacement offers the best long-term value.
What size heating and cooling system does my Erwin home really need?
Correct sizing is determined with a Manual J load calculation—not a rule of thumb. Our comfort consultant measures square footage, window types, insulation levels, occupancy, duct condition, and Erwin’s Climate Zone 4A data. This calculation prevents the problems of an oversized system (high humidity, short cycling) or an undersized one (inadequate heating/cooling, higher bills). We provide a written report so you know exactly why a specific tonnage is recommended.
How long will an HVAC replacement take and what should I expect on installation day?
A straightforward replacement of a split heat pump or AC/furnace combination usually takes one full workday (6–10 hours). The process includes: 1) arrival and home protection (drop cloths, shoe covers); 2) safe removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old equipment; 3) ductwork inspection and minor sealing if needed; 4) installation of the new indoor coil, air handler or furnace, and outdoor condenser/heat pump; 5) refrigerant charging, electrical connections, and thermostat setup; 6) complete system test and homeowner walkthrough. Projects that require new ductwork, electrical upgrades, or indoor air-quality accessories may extend to a second day.
Are there energy-efficient options and local incentives available?
Absolutely. High-efficiency air-source heat pumps (15.2 SEER2 and above) or furnaces rated 95 %+ AFUE can cut Erwin energy costs up to 30 %. Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program often offers rebates of $150–$500 on qualifying heat pumps, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently provides up to $2,000 in tax credits for qualifying high-efficiency equipment. Our team will handle the paperwork and ensure your new system meets all requirements to maximize your savings.
What does a new HVAC system cost in Erwin, and do you offer financing?
For a typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft home, a complete replacement runs between $6,000 and $12,000, depending on capacity, efficiency rating, brand, duct modifications, and add-ons such as smart thermostats or air cleaners. To make the investment easier, we partner with trusted lenders to offer 0 % APR promotional plans, low-monthly-payment options, and same-as-cash financing up to 12 months. We also accept all major credit cards and provide free, no-obligation estimates so you can compare choices.
How do I keep my new HVAC unit running efficiently for years to come?
1) Replace or wash air filters every 1–3 months. 2) Schedule preventive maintenance twice a year—AC tune-up in spring, heating tune-up in fall. 3) Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, grass clippings, and debris with at least 18 inches of clearance. 4) Register your equipment promptly to activate the manufacturer’s warranty. 5) Consider enrolling in our Comfort Club Maintenance Plan, which includes priority service, discounted repairs, and automatic reminder calls so your system stays efficient, reliable, and covered under warranty.
