FAQs
How can replacing my old HVAC system lower my energy costs in Luttrell?
Modern HVAC units are designed with higher SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings and variable-speed technology that use up to 40–60% less electricity than systems installed 10–15 years ago. By upgrading, you eliminate energy loss from worn components and outdated refrigerants, which directly reduces your monthly utility bills while improving indoor comfort.
What size HVAC unit is best for my home?
Proper sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window types, ductwork condition, and even local climate factors in Luttrell’s humid summers and cool winters. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact capacity your home needs, ensuring maximum efficiency and preventing problems like short cycling or inadequate heating/cooling.
Are there rebates or tax credits available for energy-efficient HVAC replacements in Luttrell?
Yes. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover up to 30% of the cost (capped amounts apply) for ENERGY STAR® certified heat pumps, furnaces, and central air conditioners. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local utility programs may also offer cash rebates or low-interest financing for high-efficiency units. We’ll help you identify and apply for all applicable incentives before installation.
How long does an HVAC replacement typically take?
Most standard replacements are completed in a single day—about 6–8 hours—including removal of the old system, new equipment installation, ductwork adjustments, and system testing. Complex projects, such as adding zoning, duct modifications, or indoor air quality upgrades, may extend the timeframe to 2–3 days.
Will a new HVAC system improve my indoor air quality as well as lower energy usage?
Absolutely. Modern systems feature advanced filtration, variable airflow, and optional add-ons like whole-home dehumidifiers, UV lights, and electronic air cleaners. These improvements reduce allergens, mold, and airborne contaminants while maintaining optimal humidity—all while using energy more efficiently.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC installation?
Our premium HVAC units include a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty, plus a 1-year labor warranty from our company. We also offer optional maintenance plans that provide bi-annual tune-ups, priority service, and discounts on repairs, ensuring your system maintains peak efficiency and extends its lifespan.
