FAQs
Why is choosing a right-sized HVAC unit so important for homes in Jefferson City?
Proper sizing ensures your new system runs at peak efficiency, keeps every room comfortable in our humid continental climate, and prevents problems such as short-cycling (oversized units) or over-working (undersized units). Right-sized equipment reduces wear and tear, lowers energy bills by up to 30%, and extends the life of the system—crucial in Jefferson City where summers are hot and winters can be below freezing.
How do your technicians determine the correct size for my replacement HVAC system?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that considers square footage, insulation levels, window types, orientation, air leakage, number of occupants, and local Jefferson City weather data. This engineering-based method produces the exact British Thermal Units (BTUs) of heating and cooling your home requires. We then match those BTUs to equipment that meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR® standards, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
What signs indicate it’s time to replace rather than repair my current HVAC unit?
Replacement is usually recommended when the system is 10–15 years old, experiences frequent breakdowns, results in energy bills that keep climbing, produces uneven temperatures, or still uses R-22 refrigerant (being phased out). If repair costs exceed about 40% of the price of a new, high-efficiency unit, replacement will be the more economical long-term choice.
How long does an HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during that time?
Most residential replacements in Jefferson City can be completed in one day. We remove the old equipment, modify ductwork if necessary, set the new condenser or heat pump, install the air handler/furnace, and test the system. You may experience 4–8 hours without heating or cooling, but we schedule installations at times that minimize discomfort and can provide portable units if extreme temperatures are expected.
What incentives or rebates are available for installing high-efficiency HVAC systems in Jefferson City?
Homeowners may qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30% of the installed cost (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for furnaces or central ACs). Missouri ’s utilities, including Ameren Missouri, often provide rebates ranging from $200 to $600 for ENERGY STAR® variable-speed systems. We handle all paperwork and submit rebate claims to ensure you receive every dollar of available savings.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you provide with a new HVAC installation?
Our preferred brands carry 10-year parts and compressor warranties plus a limited lifetime heat exchanger warranty for gas furnaces. We include a one-year labor warranty and offer an optional maintenance agreement that adds twice-yearly tune-ups, priority service, and 15% repair discounts. Regular maintenance keeps your manufacturer warranty valid and maximizes the lifespan of your right-sized equipment.
