FAQs
What qualifies as a “high-performance” HVAC replacement, and why is it important for homes in Evensville?
A high-performance replacement system exceeds current federal efficiency standards—typically 16+ SEER2 for air conditioners, 90+ AFUE for furnaces, and 18+ SEER2 or ENERGY STAR Most Efficient for heat pumps. In Evensville’s humid summers and cool winters, these higher ratings translate to lower utility bills, improved humidity control, quieter operation, and reduced carbon footprint. They also come with advanced features such as variable-speed compressors and smart thermostats that keep indoor temperatures more consistent than older single-stage units.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take from consultation to final installation?
The total process averages 5–10 business days. 1) In-home assessment (1–2 hours) to size the system properly using Manual J calculations. 2) Proposal review and equipment selection (same day or within 24 hours). 3) Permit acquisition and ordering equipment (2–4 days, depending on model availability). 4) Installation day (4–8 hours for most homes; multi-zone or duct modifications can extend to 2 days). Our team schedules inspections immediately after completion and performs a full system test before we leave.
Will a high-efficiency replacement really lower my energy bills, and by how much?
Yes. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner installed in the early 2000s with a new 18-SEER2 model can cut cooling costs by up to 45%. Upgrading an 80% AFUE furnace to a 96% AFUE condensing furnace can save 15–20% on heating. Actual savings depend on home insulation, duct condition, and thermostat habits, but most Evensville homeowners recover the extra investment in 3–6 years through reduced utility expenses.
How do you determine the right-sized system for my house?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation R-values, window types, orientation, air infiltration rates, and number of occupants. This scientific approach prevents oversizing (which causes short cycling and humidity problems) and undersizing (which leaves rooms uncomfortable). We also evaluate existing ductwork to ensure it can deliver the required airflow for the new high-performance unit.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with your replacement systems?
Most of our high-efficiency units carry a 10-year parts warranty and a limited lifetime heat-exchanger warranty on furnaces. We include a one-year labor warranty and offer optional maintenance memberships that provide biannual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on future repairs. Regular maintenance keeps the manufacturer warranty valid and preserves peak efficiency.
Do you offer financing or rebates for HVAC replacements in Evensville?
Yes. We partner with national lenders to provide zero-interest or low-APR financing options ranging from 12 to 120 months. Many high-performance systems qualify for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act—up to $2,000 for heat pumps—and local utility rebates that can add $200–$600 in savings. Our team handles the paperwork and will present all available incentives upfront.
