FAQs
What are the most common warning signs that my heating system needs professional repair?
Watch for uneven room temperatures, a furnace or heat pump that runs constantly or short-cycles, unusual noises (grinding, banging, screeching), burning or musty odors, sudden jumps in utility bills, or a yellow instead of blue burner flame. If you notice any of these, shut the system off and call for service before a minor issue becomes a costly breakdown.
How does an energy-efficient HVAC system lower my utility bills in Louisville’s climate?
Louisville experiences hot, humid summers and chilly, damp winters, so HVAC equipment often runs year-round. High-efficiency furnaces (95–98% AFUE), variable-speed heat pumps (up to 20+ SEER2), and smart thermostats use less gas or electricity to produce the same comfort. Over a typical 15-year lifespan, homeowners can save 20–40% on heating and cooling costs, offsetting the higher purchase price while reducing carbon emissions.
What energy-saving options do you offer if my heater is beyond repair?
We install ENERGY STAR® certified gas furnaces, dual-fuel systems, cold-climate heat pumps, and geothermal units. Features such as variable-speed blowers, modulating gas valves, and inverter compressors match output to demand, eliminating wasteful on/off cycling. During an in-home assessment we’ll calculate Manual J load, review ductwork, and help you choose the right SEER2/AFUE rating, insulation upgrades, and smart controls to maximize comfort and savings.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner?
Manufacturers and utility companies recommend professional tune-ups once in the fall for heating equipment and once in the spring for cooling systems. Our Precision Maintenance Plan includes cleaning burners and coils, lubricating motors, checking refrigerant charge, testing safety controls, and changing filters. Regular service keeps warranties valid, catches small problems early, and can improve efficiency by up to 15%.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency heat repair service in Louisville?
Yes. Cold snaps in the Ohio Valley can send temperatures below freezing at night. Our certified technicians are on call 24/7, 365 days a year. We arrive in fully stocked trucks, diagnose the issue, present upfront pricing, and can usually restore heat on the first visit. We service all major brands of gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, and boilers.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for upgrading to an energy-efficient HVAC system in Kentucky?
Absolutely. LG&E and KU offer rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps, smart thermostats, and duct sealing. The federal Inflation Reduction Act (Section 25C) provides a 30% tax credit—up to $600 for qualifying furnaces and up to $2,000 for heat pumps or heat pump water heaters. Low-to-moderate income households may also qualify for point-of-sale discounts through the forthcoming HOMES and HEAR programs. We’ll guide you through the paperwork and provide the documentation you need to claim every available incentive.
