FAQs
What types of heating and air-conditioning systems do you install in Jefferson City?
We install a full range of residential and light-commercial HVAC equipment, including high-efficiency gas furnaces, electric heat pumps, dual-fuel hybrid systems, central air conditioners (13–20+ SEER2), ductless mini-splits, packaged rooftop units, and air-quality accessories such as humidifiers, ERVs, and smart thermostats. Our comfort advisors help you compare options based on Jefferson City’s mixed-humid climate, your home’s layout, budget, and long-term energy goals.
How long does a typical HVAC installation take?
For most single-family homes, replacing an existing furnace and A/C or heat-pump system takes 1 full day (6–10 hours). New construction installs or projects requiring major duct modifications can extend to 2–3 days. Ductless mini-split jobs usually take 4–8 hours per indoor head. We schedule your installation around weather conditions and always perform a final walkthrough, thermostat programming, and homeowner orientation before we consider the job complete.
Do I need a permit for a new HVAC system in Jefferson City?
Yes. The Jefferson City Department of Planning & Protective Services requires a mechanical permit for any new or replacement HVAC equipment that ties into the home’s electrical, gas, or duct system. As a licensed mechanical contractor, we obtain the permit on your behalf, coordinate inspections, and make sure your installation meets the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) adopted by the city.
Are there rebates or tax credits available for new HVAC installations?
Absolutely. Ameren Missouri currently offers rebates up to $650 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and central A/C units. In addition, the federal Inflation Reduction Act provides a 30 % tax credit (up to $2,000) on ENERGY STAR-certified heat pumps and a separate 30 % credit (up to $600) for advanced air conditioners or furnaces. We’ll supply the AHRI certificate, help you complete the rebate paperwork, and provide IRS Form 5695 guidance so you can claim every incentive you’re entitled to.
What is the typical cost range for a complete HVAC system install?
Prices vary with system size, efficiency rating, ductwork needs, and add-ons, but most Jefferson City homeowners spend: • $6,500–$9,000 for a 14–16 SEER2 A/C and 80 % AFUE furnace combo • $9,000–$13,000 for a high-efficiency (18–20 SEER2) inverter heat pump with matching air handler • $4,500–$9,000 for a multi-zone ductless mini-split (2–4 indoor heads) These figures include equipment, labor, permits, and basic smart thermostat. We provide a firm, written proposal up front and offer financing from 0 % APR for qualified customers.
How do I keep my new system running efficiently after installation?
1. Change or wash filters every 1–3 months. 2. Schedule professional maintenance twice a year—heating tune-up in fall, cooling tune-up in spring. We offer a Comfort Club plan that includes priority service and discounts. 3. Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture and dust. 4. Rinse outdoor condenser coils gently with a garden hose each spring; keep plants at least 2 ft away. 5. Monitor energy bills and call us if you notice sudden spikes, strange noises, or airflow changes —early intervention prevents bigger repairs and protects your warranty.
