FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for HVAC replacement?
Up-front pricing means you receive the total cost of your new heating and cooling system—equipment, labor, permits, disposal, and taxes—before any work begins. We perform a free in-home assessment, calculate the correct system size, and present a written proposal that lists every charge. The figure you authorize is the figure you pay; there are no surprise fees or change-order costs once the installation is underway.
How do I know if my HVAC unit really needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Several factors suggest replacement makes more sense than repair: (1) Age—systems 10–15 years old are nearing the end of their efficient life cycle. (2) Frequent or expensive repairs—when a major component such as the compressor, heat exchanger, or coil fails, the repair can exceed 30–40 % of replacement cost. (3) Rising energy bills—older units lose efficiency, causing utility costs to climb. (4) Comfort issues—uneven temperatures, excessive humidity, or excessive noise often indicate a mismatched or failing unit. During our inspection we provide a side-by-side cost-benefit analysis so you can make an informed decision.
What HVAC brands and efficiency ratings do you offer for Georgetown homes?
We are authorized dealers for Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Daikin, allowing us to match virtually any budget or comfort requirement. High-efficiency options range from 16 SEER2 single-stage systems to 22 SEER2 variable-speed heat pumps and air conditioners, as well as gas furnaces up to 98 % AFUE. All units meet or exceed current Texas and federal efficiency standards, and we always size equipment using ACCA Manual J calculations for Georgetown’s climate zone.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take, and will my home be without heating or cooling during the process?
Most standard residential change-outs are completed in one day. We schedule the crew to arrive between 8–9 a.m., remove the old system, set the new indoor and outdoor units, run line sets, update electrical and drain connections, pressure-test and evacuate the refrigerant circuit, and commission the system. Your home is usually without heating or cooling for 4–6 hours during this period. For more complex jobs—ductwork modifications, attic platform rebuilds, or zoning system installations—work may extend to a second day, but we’ll tell you in advance.
Are there any rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for a new HVAC system in Georgetown?
Yes. High-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners installed in 2024 may qualify for federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Georgetown Utility Systems often offers seasonal rebates ranging from $200 to $600 for ENERGY STAR® certified equipment. We partner with Synchrony and Wells Fargo Bank to provide 0 % APR financing for 12 to 60 months with approved credit, plus low monthly-payment plans. Our comfort consultant will prepare all rebate paperwork and help you file tax credit forms.
What kind of warranties and maintenance plans come with my new HVAC unit?
All equipment comes with a manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty (lifetime heat exchanger on many furnaces). We include a 2-year labor warranty at no extra charge, which you can extend to 10 years for a nominal fee. To keep warranties valid and performance high, we offer our Peace-of-Mind Maintenance Plan: two precision tune-ups per year, priority service, 15 % repair discount, and no overtime fees. Enrollment for the first year is complimentary with your system replacement.
