FAQs
Why should I trust NATE-certified technicians for my HVAC unit replacement in Huntland?
North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certification is the HVAC industry’s highest standard of technical proficiency. Our Huntland-based installers have passed rigorous, proctored exams on heating, cooling, and refrigeration systems. That means you get: • Accurate system sizing and installation that meets Tennessee building codes. • Fewer call-backs, because the job is done right the first time. • Optimized efficiency, comfort, and equipment life—saving you money over the long haul. • Full protection of the manufacturer’s warranty, which can be voided by improper installation.
How can I tell whether it’s time to replace rather than repair my current heating and air conditioning system?
Consider replacement when one or more of these conditions apply: 1. Age: Most heat pumps and air conditioners last 10–15 years. Furnaces average 15–20 years. 2. Frequent repairs: Two or more major repairs in the last 12 months often cost more than a new unit’s monthly payment. 3. High energy bills: A drop in SEER/HSPF efficiency or an aging furnace heat exchanger drives utility costs up, especially in Huntland’s humid summers. 4. Comfort issues: Uneven temperatures, excessive humidity, or excessive noise indicate declining performance. 5. R-22 refrigerant: If your AC still uses R-22, repairs are costly and phased-out refrigerant is hard to find. Our NATE techs will provide a no-obligation assessment so you can weigh repair vs. replacement with clear numbers.
What size HVAC system does my Huntland home need?
Proper sizing is crucial; an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized system can’t keep up on 95 °F July afternoons. Our team performs an ACCA Manual J load calculation that factors in: • Square footage, ceiling height, and room layout • Insulation levels and thermal envelope tightness • Window type, quantity, and orientation • Local Huntland weather data for heating and cooling degree days • Occupancy, lighting, and appliance heat gains Only after the load calculation do we recommend the tonnage, airflow (CFM), and duct modifications, ensuring maximum comfort and efficiency.
How long will an HVAC unit replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A straight “swap-out” of an existing split system typically takes 4–8 hours. More complex jobs—ductwork repairs, line-set rerouting, or thermostat upgrades—can extend the project to 1–2 days. You’ll be without heating or cooling only while the old equipment is disconnected and the new components are set, usually a few hours. We pre-stage equipment, arrive with all parts, and schedule work around weather forecasts to minimize downtime for Huntland residents.
Are energy-efficient models and rebates available for new HVAC systems in Huntland?
Yes. We install ENERGY STAR® certified units with up to 17.0 SEER2 for air conditioners and 8.8 HSPF2 for heat pumps. Incentives include: • Federal tax credits up to $3,200 under the Inflation Reduction Act (25C) for qualifying heat pumps, furnaces, and advanced controls. • TVA EnergyRight® heat-pump rebates for Franklin County electric customers (amounts vary year-to-year). • Manufacturer cash-backs during seasonal promotions. We handle the paperwork, verify model eligibility, and apply all rebates to your final quote so you receive the savings immediately.
What maintenance plans and warranties come with a new system installed by your NATE-certified team?
Most brands we install provide a 10-year limited parts warranty and up to a lifetime heat-exchanger or compressor warranty when registered within 60 days. We add a one-year labor warranty at no additional charge. For worry-free ownership, our Comfort Club includes: • Two precision tune-ups per year (spring AC, fall furnace/heat pump) • 15 % discount on out-of-warranty repairs • Priority same-day service during Huntland’s peak summer and winter seasons Routine maintenance keeps your new system running at peak efficiency, preserves warranty coverage, and extends service life.
