FAQs
When should I consider replacing my existing HVAC unit in Grandview?
Most systems last 12–15 years in our Mid-Missouri climate. If your furnace or air-conditioner is nearing that age, needs frequent repairs, causes uneven temperatures, or your utility bills keep climbing, it’s usually more cost-effective to replace it with a high-efficiency model. Modern systems can be up to 60 % more efficient than units installed just a decade ago, quickly offsetting the purchase price through lower energy costs.
How much can a high-efficiency HVAC system reduce my energy bills?
Savings vary with usage habits and the efficiency rating (SEER2 for cooling, AFUE for heating), but our Grandview customers typically report 20–40 % lower utility bills after upgrading from a 10–13 SEER system to a 16–20 SEER2 air-conditioner and an 80 % AFUE furnace to a 96 – 98 % AFUE model. Because electricity and natural-gas rates in the Kansas City metro continue to rise, the payback period for a high-efficiency replacement is often 3–6 years.
What size or capacity HVAC system do I need for my Grandview home?
Correct sizing is critical. We perform a Manual J load calculation that measures square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air leakage, and even household occupancy to determine the exact BTU and tonnage requirement. Oversized systems short-cycle, waste energy, and leave humidity behind, while undersized units run continuously and still can’t maintain setpoint. A professional load calculation ensures peak comfort and maximum efficiency.
Are there utility rebates or tax incentives available for high-efficiency replacements?
Yes. Evergy and Spire currently offer rebates of $300–$650 for qualifying heat pumps, air-conditioners, and gas furnaces. In addition, the federal Inflation Reduction Act provides up to $2,000 in 25C tax credits for equipment that meets ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient criteria, plus potential HEEHRA point-of-sale rebates for income-qualified households. We complete all rebate paperwork and supply AHRI certificates so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and what should I expect on installation day?
Most residential replacements are finished in one full workday. Our NATE-certified crew arrives between 8-9 a.m., protects flooring with drop cloths, removes and recycles the old equipment, installs the new condenser, furnace/air-handler, thermostat, and any needed duct modifications, then pressure-tests and evacuates the refrigerant lines. After startup we balance airflow, register the warranty, and walk you through system operation. A final city inspection is scheduled if required by Grandview code.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new high-efficiency HVAC unit?
All equipment we install carries a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and up to a lifetime heat-exchanger or compressor warranty on select models. We include a one-year labor warranty and offer affordable Comfort Club plans that cover bi-annual maintenance, priority service, and 15 % repair discounts. Regular tune-ups keep your warranty valid, maintain peak efficiency, and help your new system achieve its full 15-20 year service life.
