FAQs
What makes an HVAC system “high-efficiency,” and how will it benefit my Guild home?
A high-efficiency HVAC system typically carries a SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of 15.2 or higher for cooling and an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) of 90% or higher for heating. These units use advanced compressor technology, variable-speed blowers, and improved heat exchangers to deliver the same comfort using far less energy. For Guild homeowners, that translates into lower monthly utility bills, a reduced carbon footprint, quieter operation, and often enhanced indoor air quality thanks to better humidity control and filtration.
How can I tell if it’s time to replace my current heating or cooling unit?
Consider replacement if your system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent repairs, struggles to reach set temperatures, produces unusually high energy bills, or still uses R-22 (Freon) refrigerant. A professional load calculation and efficiency audit will confirm whether upgrading to a high-efficiency unit will save you enough to justify the investment.
What size HVAC unit do I need, and how is the correct capacity determined?
Proper sizing is critical. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation, which factors in the square footage of your Guild home, insulation levels, window type, sun exposure, number of occupants, and local climate data. An oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy, while an undersized unit will run constantly and wear out prematurely. The load calculation ensures your new system delivers optimal comfort and efficiency.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Guild for installing high-efficiency equipment?
Yes. Many high-efficiency heat pumps and furnaces qualify for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, potentially saving you up to $2,000. Local utility providers in Guild often offer instant rebates ranging from $200 to $700, and some high-SEER2 systems may qualify for additional state energy-efficiency incentives. We keep track of current programs, help you fill out the paperwork, and can even apply many rebates upfront to lower your out-of-pocket cost.
How long will the HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A standard replacement usually takes one full day. We remove the old equipment, set the new condenser, furnace, or air handler, run new refrigerant lines if needed, pressure-test the system, evacuate moisture, recharge with refrigerant, and calibrate controls. You’ll be without heating or cooling only during the middle portion of the day; we schedule installations to minimize downtime and can provide temporary space heaters or portable AC units on request.
What maintenance do high-efficiency systems require, and how can I protect my investment?
High-efficiency units rely on precise airflow and refrigerant levels, so semiannual professional tune-ups (spring for cooling, fall for heating) are essential. During service, we clean coils, inspect heat exchangers, test safety controls, and verify refrigerant charge. In between visits, replace or clean your air filter every 1–3 months, keep outdoor units free of debris, and ensure supply and return vents remain unblocked. Enrolling in our Guild Comfort Club maintenance plan extends equipment warranties, provides priority service, and can cut unexpected repair costs by up to 50%.
