FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Helenwood last 10–15 years. If yours is in that age range, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep climbing even after maintenance, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A new high-efficiency system can cut heating and cooling costs by 20–40 %, often offsetting the initial investment within a few seasons.
What efficiency ratings should I look for in a new HVAC system?
For air conditioners and heat pumps, check the SEER2 rating (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2); 15 SEER2 or higher is considered high-efficiency in Tennessee’s climate. For furnaces, look for an AFUE of 95 % or above. A dual-fuel or variable-speed heat pump can provide both heating and cooling efficiently, adapting to Helenwood’s mild winters and humid summers.
How much does a high-efficiency HVAC replacement cost in the Helenwood area?
Prices vary by size (measured in tons or BTUs), brand, and features. In Helenwood, most homeowners spend $7,000–$12,000 for a complete high-efficiency system, including installation. Adding smart thermostats, zoning dampers, or indoor-air-quality upgrades can add 5–15 %. We offer free in-home assessments so you receive an exact quote, not an estimate.
Do you offer financing or rebates for high-efficiency replacements?
Yes. We partner with local lenders for 0 % APR short-term and low-interest long-term plans. TVA EnergyRight and many utility providers in Scott County offer rebates of $150–$500 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and furnaces. Federal tax credits up to 30 % of the project cost (max $2,000) are also available under the Inflation Reduction Act.
What is the installation process and how long will my home be without heating or cooling?
A typical replacement takes one working day. We start with a load calculation (Manual J) to size the equipment, remove the old unit, set the new condenser or furnace/air handler, connect refrigerant lines and ductwork, and perform a full system test. Your home is usually without heating/cooling for only 2–4 hours during change-out.
What warranties and ongoing maintenance do you provide?
Most high-efficiency units come with 10-year parts and compressor warranties and a 1-year labor warranty. We include the first year of our Comfort Club maintenance plan—two precision tune-ups, priority service, and 15 % repair discounts. Maintaining the unit annually is required to keep manufacturer warranties valid and ensures peak efficiency for years to come.
