FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC system instead of continuing to repair it?
Several warning signs point to replacement: frequent breakdowns (more than two major repairs in a season), rising energy bills even after tune-ups, uneven temperatures or poor humidity control, and equipment that is 12–15 years old. If repair costs in any one year approach 30–50 % of the price of a new system, most HVAC professionals—including our Farragut team—recommend replacement because newer units offer greater reliability, efficiency, and warranty coverage.
What size HVAC unit does my Farragut home need?
Sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window area, orientation, and the local climate zone (Farragut is in ACCA Manual J climate zone 4A—mixed-humid). We conduct a Manual J heat-load calculation before every replacement. An undersized unit will run constantly and wear out early, while an oversized unit short-cycles, wasting energy and stressing components. After the load calculation, we match the results with equipment listed in Manual S and verify proper airflow using Manual D duct design guidelines.
How long does an HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard change-outs (furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump) take one full working day—about 6–10 hours. A complete system with duct modifications can extend to two days. We schedule installations so that you are never without conditioned air overnight whenever possible. Temporary space heaters or portable cooling units can be provided during extreme weather if a delay is unavoidable.
Are high-efficiency systems worth the extra cost?
Yes. Today’s systems reach up to 20+ SEER2 for air conditioners and 97 AFUE for gas furnaces. In Farragut’s hot, humid summers and cool winters, homeowners typically save 20–40 % on annual utility bills after upgrading from equipment over 10 years old. In addition, variable-speed compressors and electronically commutated motor (ECM) blower motors improve comfort by maintaining steadier temperatures and better dehumidification. Over a system’s 15-year lifespan, energy savings usually exceed the initial price difference.
Do I need permits or inspections to replace an HVAC unit in Farragut?
Yes. Knox County requires a mechanical permit for any HVAC replacement involving refrigerant lines, duct changes, gas piping, or electrical modifications. Our licensed technicians pull the permit on your behalf and schedule the county inspection. Final approval ensures the installation meets International Residential Code (IRC) and local amendments for safety, efficiency, and proper ventilation.
What financing, rebates, or tax credits are available for HVAC replacement?
We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 60 months (with approved credit) through our lending partners. TVA’s EnergyRight program often provides $150–$500 rebates on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act allow up to $2,000 for heat pumps and up to $600 for high-efficiency furnaces or ACs that meet specified ratings. We handle all paperwork and will apply rebates directly to your invoice whenever possible.
