FAQs
What types of energy-saving upgrades do you offer for heating and air conditioning systems in Fayetteville?
We provide a full range of upgrades, including high-efficiency heat pump and air-conditioner replacements (SEER2 16+), variable-speed furnace blowers, smart thermostats, zoning controls, duct sealing and insulation, and indoor air quality add-ons such as energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs). We tailor each solution to your home’s size, existing equipment, and budget to maximize comfort and energy savings.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bills after an upgrade?
Savings vary by home and the specific improvements made, but most Fayetteville homeowners see 20–40 % lower heating and cooling costs after installing a high-efficiency system, properly sealing ducts, and adding a smart thermostat. For an average $200 monthly bill, that can mean $480–$960 back in your pocket each year.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Fayetteville for energy-efficient HVAC upgrades?
Yes. Through the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) you may qualify for a tax credit of up to 30 % of the project cost (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for qualifying furnaces, ACs, and air sealing). Many local utilities—including Fayetteville Public Works Commission—also offer cash rebates ($150–$700 depending on system efficiency). We handle the paperwork and will let you know exactly which incentives apply before you commit.
Will a high-efficiency heat pump work well during Fayetteville’s winter cold snaps?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps are designed to deliver reliable heat down to 5 °F. In Fayetteville, where winter lows rarely drop below the 20s, these systems maintain comfortable indoor temperatures without auxiliary heat most of the season. We size equipment carefully and can include a hybrid backup furnace or electric strip heat for rare extremes, ensuring you stay warm while minimizing energy use.
How long does an HVAC energy-saving upgrade project typically take?
A straightforward equipment replacement and thermostat installation can be completed in one day. If we’re adding duct sealing, insulation, or zoning, plan on 1–3 additional days. We begin with a free in-home energy assessment, schedule the work at your convenience, and perform a final quality check plus homeowner training before we leave.
What maintenance is required to keep my new high-efficiency system performing at its best?
Change or clean filters every 1–3 months, keep outdoor units free of debris, and schedule professional tune-ups twice a year—once before cooling season and once before heating season. Our Comfort Club maintenance plan includes priority service, seasonal inspections, coil cleaning, and thermostat calibration to preserve efficiency, protect your warranty, and extend equipment life.
