FAQs
What qualifies an HVAC unit as “high-efficiency,” and why should I choose one for my Evensville home?
A high-efficiency heating and cooling system has a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) of 15.2 or higher for air conditioners and an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of 95% or higher for gas furnaces. These ratings mean the equipment converts more of the energy it consumes into usable heating or cooling, resulting in lower utility bills, reduced greenhouse-gas emissions, and better indoor comfort. In Evensville’s mixed climate, a high-efficiency system can cut annual energy costs by 20–40% compared with older, standard-efficiency equipment.
How do I know it’s time to replace rather than repair my current HVAC system?
Consider replacement when: (1) the unit is 10–15 years old; (2) major components such as the compressor or heat exchanger fail; (3) repair costs exceed 40% of the price of a new system; (4) energy bills keep rising despite regular maintenance; or (5) comfort problems like uneven temperatures, excess humidity, or frequent cycling persist. Replacing an aging unit with a high-efficiency model often pays for itself through energy savings and fewer repairs within the first few years.
What size HVAC system do I need for my house in Evensville?
Proper sizing is determined through a Manual J load calculation, which factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air leakage, and local weather data for Evensville. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy, while undersized systems struggle to maintain set temperatures. During your in-home consultation, our comfort specialist will perform the load calculation and recommend the right capacity (measured in BTUs or tons) to ensure peak efficiency, balanced airflow, and optimal dehumidification.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a high-efficiency replacement?
Savings vary by home, but our Evensville customers typically report 20–40% lower heating and cooling costs after upgrading from 10- to 12-SEER equipment to 16- to 18-SEER heat pumps or air conditioners, and from 80% AFUE furnaces to 96-plus% models. If your current system is older than 15 years, your payback period for the new unit can be as short as 3–5 years, especially when combined with programmable or smart thermostats.
Are rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for high-efficiency HVAC replacements in Evensville?
Yes. Through 2032, the federal Inflation Reduction Act offers up to $2,000 in tax credits for qualifying heat pumps and up to $600 for high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioners, and advanced controls. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local utilities often provide $300–$1,000 rebates on ENERGY STAR® units. We also partner with lenders to offer low-interest financing plans with terms up to 72 months, allowing you to spread payments out while you enjoy immediate energy savings.
What is the typical timeline and what should I expect during the replacement process?
From the initial consultation to final inspection, most residential replacements in Evensville take 1–3 days. Day 1: our licensed technicians remove the old equipment, make any needed duct upgrades, set the new indoor and outdoor units, and connect refrigerant lines, electrical, and condensate drains. Day 2: we pressure-test, vacuum, charge the system with refrigerant, program the thermostat, and perform a full startup checklist. If local permits require, a city inspector visits on Day 3 for final sign-off. We protect your floors, clean up all debris, and walk you through operating, warranty registration, and maintenance guidelines before leaving.
