FAQs
When should I consider replacing my existing air conditioner in Huntland?
Most central air conditioners last 10–15 years in southern Middle Tennessee’s climate. If your unit is in that age range and you’re experiencing frequent breakdowns, uneven temperatures, higher utility bills, or your system still uses the now-banned R-22 refrigerant, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs. A new high-efficiency model can cut cooling costs by 20–40 % and give you the benefit of a current manufacturer warranty.
How do I know what size and SEER rating system I need?
Correct sizing is determined by a Manual J load calculation that measures your home’s square footage, insulation, window area, sun exposure, and air-leakage rate. Our comfort consultant performs this calculation at no charge before every replacement. For Huntland’s hot, humid summers, we generally recommend a minimum of 15 SEER2 (roughly 16 SEER under the old standard), with 18 SEER and variable-speed options for maximum comfort and utility savings. An oversized or undersized unit will short-cycle, waste energy, and wear out prematurely, so the load calculation is critical.
How long will the air-conditioning replacement take and will I be without cooling?
Most straight air-conditioning change-outs (condenser, indoor coil, and line set) are completed in one working day. If you are switching to a new heat-pump system, adding ductwork, or upgrading the electrical service, the project may extend to two days. You will typically be without cooling for only 4–6 hours while the old equipment is removed and the new system is set, evacuated, and charged. We pull any required county or city permits and schedule the final inspection on your behalf.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing programs available for AC replacement in Huntland?
Yes. Qualifying ENERGY STAR® heat pumps and central AC units can earn a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600 for AC; up to $2,000 for heat pumps). The TVA EnergyRight® program often provides cash rebates for high-efficiency systems installed by a Quality Contractor Network member such as us. Manufacturers run seasonal promotions—typically $350–$1,200 instant rebates—on select models. We also offer 0 % APR financing for 12 months and low-interest plans up to 60 months with approved credit, allowing you to spread the cost over comfortable monthly payments.
What kind of warranty will my new system carry?
Most major brands now provide a 10-year limited parts warranty and a 10- to 12-year compressor warranty when the unit is registered within 60 days of installation. We include a one-year labor warranty at no additional cost, and you may purchase an extended labor plan for up to 10 years of total coverage. Thermostats, UV lights, and indoor air-quality accessories typically have their own 1- to 5-year warranties. We supply all warranty documentation and handle future claims for you if needed.
How can I keep my new air conditioner running efficiently for years to come?
Replace or clean your return-air filter every 30–90 days, keep the outdoor condenser free of grass and debris, and rinse the coil gently with a garden hose each spring. Schedule professional preventive maintenance in the spring (and fall if you have a heat pump) to check refrigerant charge, electrical connections, airflow, and condensate drainage. Enrolling in our Comfort Club maintenance plan gives you two precision tune-ups per year, priority service if you ever need a repair, and up to 15 % off parts and labor. Regular maintenance is also required to keep manufacturer warranties valid.
