FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is in that age range, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain set temperatures, causes energy bills to spike, or still uses R-22 refrigerant, replacement is usually the most economical and reliable long-term solution. A professional load calculation and inspection will confirm whether a new unit will improve comfort and lower operating costs.
Which trusted HVAC brands do you offer for replacement in Loudon, and why?
We install Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, York, and Goodman systems. These manufacturers are chosen for their proven reliability, strong warranties (up to 10-year parts coverage), broad efficiency ranges (14–25 SEER2), and ready availability of parts in Loudon. Offering multiple brands lets us match each home’s size, budget, and performance needs with the most suitable equipment rather than pushing a single product line.
How long will an HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the job?
A typical change-out of an existing split system takes 4–8 hours. Package units or systems that need duct modifications can take a full day. Your home may be without heating or cooling only during the equipment swap, usually 2–4 hours. We schedule installs to minimize downtime, arrive with all necessary parts, and test the new system before leaving to ensure you’re comfortable the same day.
What should I consider when selecting a new HVAC system for my Loudon home?
Key factors include proper system size (confirmed by Manual J load calculation), efficiency rating (SEER2 for cooling, HSPF2/AFUE for heating), indoor air quality options (media filters, UV lights), noise levels, upfront cost versus long-term energy savings, compatibility with existing ductwork, and available rebates. Our comfort consultants review each item and present good-better-best options so you can decide what fits your comfort goals and budget.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for HVAC replacements in Loudon?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight rebates can provide $150–$400 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act offer up to $2,000 for heat pumps meeting specific efficiency tiers. We also partner with lenders that offer low-interest and 0%-APR promotional financing, allowing you to spread payments over 6–120 months. We’ll handle the paperwork and verify model eligibility so you capture every available incentive.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a new high-efficiency HVAC unit?
Replacing a 10-SEER system from the early 2000s with a modern 16-SEER2 heat pump can reduce cooling costs by 35–40%. If you choose a variable-speed 18–20-SEER2 model, savings can reach 50% or more, especially during Loudon’s humid summers. For gas furnaces, upgrading from 80% AFUE to 95%+ AFUE can cut winter heating fuel usage by 15–25%. Actual savings depend on home insulation, thermostat settings, and usage patterns, but most homeowners recoup the upgrade cost through lower utility bills within 5–8 years.
