FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Louisville last 12–15 years. If your unit is in that age range, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or your energy bills keep climbing, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A new high-efficiency system can cut heating and cooling costs by 20–40 %, quickly offsetting the upfront expense.
What does a complete HVAC replacement cost in the Louisville area?
Prices vary with home size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity, but most homeowners spend $7,500–$12,000 for a matched furnace and air conditioner (or heat pump). High-efficiency systems (18–20 SEER2 or 97 % AFUE) can run $12,000–$15,000. We provide free in-home estimates so you’ll know the exact price before any work begins.
How do you determine the right-sized HVAC system for my home?
We perform a Manual-J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type, occupancy, and Louisville’s climate data (design temps 92 °F summer / 14 °F winter). This ensures your new unit isn’t oversized—preventing short cycling and humidity issues—or undersized, which would struggle during our hot, humid summers and cold snaps.
How long does the replacement process take, and will I be without comfort the whole time?
A standard change-out (replacing equipment but keeping existing ductwork) typically takes one full day. If duct modifications, zoning, or indoor air-quality upgrades are added, plan on 1½–2 days. We schedule installations to minimize downtime, and most customers are without heating or cooling for only a few hours.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available in Louisville?
Yes. LG&E and KU offer rebates up to $750 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps or air conditioners. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for heat pumps meeting CEE Tier 2. We also have 0 % APR financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
All new systems come with a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, which we extend to 10 years when you enroll in our Comfort Club maintenance plan. You’ll receive two precision tune-ups per year, priority service, and discounted repairs, ensuring your investment stays protected and efficient for years to come.
