FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my air conditioner rather than repair it?
In Farragut’s humid climate, most central air conditioners last 10–15 years. If your unit is within or beyond that range, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills have steadily risen despite regular maintenance, replacement is usually the most cost-effective option. A new, high-efficiency system can cut cooling costs by 20–40 %, provide better humidity control, and qualify you for manufacturer rebates or utility incentives.
What size (tonnage) air conditioner does my Farragut home need?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort, efficiency, and equipment life. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window types, orientation, occupancy, and local weather data. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized systems run continuously and never reach set temperature. After the load calculation, we recommend the optimal tonnage—often between 2 and 5 tons for most single-family homes in Farragut.
How long does an air-conditioning replacement take from start to finish?
A standard like-for-like replacement (indoor coil, outdoor condenser, and line set flush) typically takes one full working day. If ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or an air handler relocation are needed, installation may extend to two days. We handle permits with the Town of Farragut, schedule Knoxville-area inspections, and remove your old equipment for recycling at no extra charge.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for new AC systems in Farragut?
Yes. High-efficiency units (15.2 SEER2 or higher) can qualify for up to a $2,000 federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) often provides $200–$400 rebates for ENERGY STAR®-rated heat pumps and air conditioners. We also partner with lenders that offer 0 % APR financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
What maintenance is required after my new AC is installed?
Even the most efficient systems need routine care. We recommend a spring tune-up each year that includes coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure checks, electrical testing, and filter replacement. Our Comfort Club Maintenance Plan covers two visits per year (cooling and heating seasons), priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any future repairs—helping maintain manufacturer warranties and peak performance.
What kind of warranty and post-install support do you provide?
Most of our preferred manufacturers—Trane, Carrier, and Rheem—include a 10-year parts limited warranty on registered residential systems. We add a 1-year labor warranty covering workmanship, plus the option to extend labor coverage to 10 years for a modest fee. After installation, you receive a detailed start-up report, system registration confirmation, and 24/7 emergency service should anything arise.
