FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
A replacement is usually recommended when the system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, struggles to maintain set temperatures, or causes a surge in utility bills. Our certified technicians perform a full diagnostic, compare the long-term cost of repairs versus a new, high-efficiency system, and provide a clear recommendation so you can make an informed decision.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Lynchburg home?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, window count, ceiling height, and even local climate data for Lynchburg. During a free in-home estimate, our NATE-certified professionals perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact BTU and SEER requirements, ensuring your new unit delivers optimal comfort and energy efficiency without short-cycling or running continuously.
Are your technicians certified, and what certifications do they hold?
Yes. Every lead installer and service technician on our team is NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certified, EPA Section 608 licensed for safe refrigerant handling, and factory-trained by major HVAC manufacturers. Continuous education hours are logged each year to stay current with new technologies, local code changes, and best installation practices.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
Most residential replacements in the Lynchburg area are completed in one day. We begin with a 7:30–8:00 a.m. arrival, carefully remove the old equipment, set the new condenser, air handler or furnace, run high-quality line sets, update the thermostat, pressure-test and evacuate the system, and complete a full start-up checklist. Larger homes, duct modifications, or add-ons like indoor air quality devices can extend the job to two days, but you’ll receive a precise timeline before work begins.
What kind of energy savings can I expect with a new high-efficiency unit?
Upgrading from a 10 SEER system installed in the early 2000s to a modern 16–18 SEER heat pump or AC can cut cooling costs by 30–40 percent. If you opt for a dual-fuel or variable-speed system, heating savings during Lynchburg’s mild winters can exceed 20 percent. We provide an energy-savings projection based on your current bills so you can see the payback period in real dollars.
Do you offer financing, rebates, or tax incentives for HVAC replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local banks and national lenders to offer 0 percent APR options for up to 18 months and low-interest plans up to 120 months. In Lynchburg, Appalachian Power often offers rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps, and federal tax credits of up to $2,000 are available under the Inflation Reduction Act for qualifying equipment. Our office staff handles all paperwork to ensure you receive every available savings opportunity.
