FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit in Evensville?
Most systems last 12–15 years in our Ohio River Valley climate. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, struggles to reach set temperatures, or causes high utility bills, a replacement is usually more cost-effective and will improve comfort and air quality.
How does installing a new HVAC system improve indoor air quality (IAQ)?
Modern high-efficiency systems move more air at the correct velocity, have tighter duct connections, and include upgraded filtration options such as MERV-13 filters and whole-home air purifiers. These features remove more dust, pollen, and mold spores—an important benefit during Evensville’s humid summers and heavy spring allergy season.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Evensville home?
Proper sizing is based on a Manual J load calculation that considers square footage, insulation levels, window type, orientation, and local temperature extremes (about 92 °F summer highs and 20 °F winter lows). An oversized unit will short-cycle and leave humidity in the air; an undersized unit will run constantly and still feel uncomfortable. Ask your contractor for a written load calculation before you sign.
Are there energy incentives or rebates available for HVAC replacement in Evensville?
Yes. CenterPoint Energy and Duke Energy often offer $150–$600 rebates for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for Energy Star–certified heat pumps, and Indiana’s state sales-tax exemption applies to geothermal units. Your installer should file the paperwork and supply model numbers for your records.
How long will the replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard air-conditioner or furnace swaps take one working day; adding new ductwork or a heat pump may extend the job to two days. Your old unit is removed first thing in the morning, and power is restored as soon as the new equipment is connected—usually by late afternoon—so downtime is minimal.
What maintenance does a new HVAC system require to keep indoor air clean?
Change or clean filters every 1–3 months, keep outdoor condenser coils free of leaves and grass, and schedule professional tune-ups every spring and fall. During service visits, the technician will check refrigerant levels, clean the blower, verify airflow, and test safety controls. Regular maintenance maintains efficiency, prolongs the warranty, and prevents dust and microbial buildup that can degrade IAQ.
