FAQs
What HVAC services do you offer in Etowah, TN?
We provide a full range of residential and light-commercial heating and air-conditioning services, including new system installation, replacement of outdated units, seasonal tune-ups, 24/7 emergency repairs, indoor-air-quality upgrades (filtration, UV lights, humidifiers), ductwork design and sealing, and smart-thermostat integration. All work is performed by licensed, NATE-certified technicians who are familiar with Etowahâs climate and local building codes.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling system?
In Etowahâs humid-subtropical climate, we recommend two professional tune-ups per yearâone in early spring for the air conditioner and one in early fall for the furnace or heat pump. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high, prevents unexpected breakdowns during temperature extremes, maintains manufacturer warranties, and can reduce energy bills by 10â15 %.
What size HVAC unit do I need for my Etowah home?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window types, ceiling height, air-leakage rates, and even local shading. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in Etowahâs average summer highs (around 89 °F) and winter lows (about 29 °F) to determine the precise BTU and SEER/HSPF requirements. An oversized or undersized unit will cycle improperly, waste energy, and shorten equipment life.
Are there energy-efficient options that qualify for rebates in Etowah?
Yes. High-efficiency heat pumps (SEER2 ⼠16), ENERGY STAR gas furnaces (AFUE ⼠95 %), and qualifying smart thermostats often qualify for TVA EnergyRight incentives, federal tax credits of up to 30 % (per the Inflation Reduction Act), and occasional manufacturer rebates. Weâll handle the paperwork, verify eligibility, and apply any instant discounts to your invoice.
How quickly can you respond to emergency HVAC repairs in Etowah?
Our technicians live and work in McMinn County, so we can typically arrive anywhere in Etowah within 60â90 minutes of your callâ24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Service vans are stocked with common parts for most major brands, allowing us to resolve about 85 % of no-heat or no-cool emergencies on the first visit.
What should I expect it to cost to replace my furnace or air conditioner?
Costs vary by capacity, efficiency rating, ductwork needs, and accessory options. In Etowah, a standard 2-ton 14.3 SEER2 air-conditioning replacement averages $4,800â$6,200 installed, while a high-efficiency 2-stage gas furnace runs $4,500â$5,500. Combo heat-pump systems range from $7,500 to $12,000. We offer free in-home estimates, flat-rate proposals, flexible financing with approved credit, and a price-match guarantee on comparable systems.
