FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Huntsville last 10–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep up with the North Alabama heat or winter cold, or causes utility bills to spike, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. A new unit can cut energy use by 20–40 % and provide stronger humidity control, which is important in our humid climate.
How long does an HVAC unit replacement take from start to finish?
After the in-home consultation and load calculation, we schedule installation—usually within 1–3 business days, depending on equipment availability. The actual replacement typically takes 4–8 hours for a straightforward change-out, including removal of the old system, setting the new indoor and outdoor units, connecting refrigerant and electrical lines, charging the system, and performing a full operational test. Complex jobs that require duct modifications can take an additional day.
What size HVAC system does my Huntsville home need?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort and efficiency. Our certified technicians perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window types, orientation, number of occupants, and even local weather data from Huntsville International Airport. This ensures you don’t end up with an oversized unit that short-cycles and wastes energy or an undersized unit that never reaches set temperature.
Are there energy-efficiency rebates or incentives available in Huntsville, AL?
Yes. TVA EnergyRight Marketplace and Huntsville Utilities often offer rebates for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners (typically SEER2 15.2 or higher). Federal tax credits of up to 30 %—capped at $2,000—are also available through 2032 for ENERGY STAR®-certified heat pumps under the Inflation Reduction Act. We handle the paperwork and provide documentation so you can easily claim any local, utility, or federal incentives.
What warranties do you offer on new HVAC installations?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts limited warranty when the equipment is registered within 60 days. As a certified dealer, we include a one-year labor warranty at no additional cost and offer optional extended labor coverage up to 10 years. You’ll also receive our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee: if an installation-related issue arises, we correct it at no charge for as long as you own the home.
Why should I choose certified technicians for my HVAC replacement?
Certification—such as NATE (North American Technician Excellence) and EPA Section 608—verifies that our technicians have demonstrated expertise in safe refrigerant handling, proper airflow design, and up-to-date installation standards. Certified pros ensure your new system meets Alabama Mechanical Code, passes city inspections, maintains manufacturer warranty requirements, and delivers the efficiency you paid for. In short, certification protects your investment and your family’s comfort.
