FAQs
How do I know if my HVAC system in Jellico needs to be replaced or simply repaired?
Several signs point toward full replacement rather than repair: (1) the unit is 10â15 years old or older, (2) frequent or costly repairs exceed 30 % of a new-system price, (3) rising utility bills despite regular maintenance, (4) uneven temperatures or humidity issues, (5) obsolete refrigerant such as R-22, and (6) safety concerns like cracked heat exchangers. Our factory-trained technicians provide a no-obligation inspection and cost-comparison analysis so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take from removal to startup?
For most residential systems in Jellico, removal of the old equipment and installation of a new, properly sized unit takes one full working dayâabout 6â10 hours. Larger homes, zoning upgrades, or duct modifications may extend the job to two days. Before installation day, we complete load calculations, equipment staging, and any permitting to minimize downtime and keep your family comfortable.
What brands and efficiency ratings do you offer, and are your installers factory-trained?
We are certified dealers for leading manufacturers such as Trane, Carrier, Rheem, and Goodman. All units meet or exceed ENERGY STARÂŽ guidelines, with SEER2 ratings from 14.3 to 22 for air conditioners and AFUE ratings up to 98 % for furnaces. Every installer on our crew completes annual factory training that covers brand-specific start-up procedures, airflow balancing, and smart-thermostat integration, ensuring the system is installed exactly to the manufacturerâs specifications.
Will a new HVAC system really save me money on energy bills in Jellicoâs climate?
Yes. Older 8â12 SEER air conditioners or 70 % AFUE furnaces can consume 30â50 % more energy than modern high-efficiency equipment. In Jellicoâs four-season climate, upgrading to a 16â18 SEER2 heat pump or a 96 % AFUE gas furnace can cut annual heating and cooling costs by $300â$700, depending on home size and usage. Added benefits include quieter operation, improved indoor air quality, and stronger manufacturer warranties.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
Most of our preferred units come with 10-year parts and compressor warranties and up to a lifetime heat-exchanger warranty on select furnaces. We add our own 2-year labor warranty, plus one free precision tune-up at the 12-month mark. Extended labor coverage up to 10 years is available. Our customer care line is staffed 24/7 for any questions or emergency visits after installation.
Do you offer financing or rebate assistance for HVAC replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local banks and manufacturers to provide zero-down, low-interest financing with terms up to 120 months. For qualifying high-efficiency systems, we handle paperwork for TVA EnergyRight rebates and federal tax credits (25C) worth up to $2,000. Our office team in Jellico will walk you through every incentive so you get the best possible overall price.
