FAQs
How can I tell if it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems last 12–15 years in the Lynchburg climate. If yours is nearing that age, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or your energy bills have been creeping up despite routine maintenance, replacement is usually the most cost-effective option. A Precision Installation technician can perform a load calculation and cost-benefit analysis to confirm whether replacing will save you more money over the next few seasons than continuing to repair.
What happens during a Precision Installation HVAC replacement visit?
On installation day our NATE-certified crew will: 1) protect your home with floor coverings; 2) safely recover any remaining refrigerant; 3) remove and recycle the old equipment; 4) make any needed duct, drain, or electrical upgrades; 5) set the new condenser, air handler/furnace, and thermostat; 6) evacuate and charge the system to factory specs; 7) test static pressure, airflow, and refrigerant levels; and 8) walk you through system operation and maintenance tips. We file all permits and register your warranty before we leave.
How long does an HVAC unit replacement usually take for a typical Lynchburg residence?
Most standard change-outs take 6–8 hours. If we’re also replacing ductwork, adding zoning, or upgrading the electrical service, the project may extend to two days. We schedule one day at minimum so you’re never left without heating or cooling overnight, and we always provide temporary comfort solutions in extreme weather.
What kind of energy savings can I expect from a new high-efficiency system?
Replacing a 10-SEER unit from the early 2000s with today’s 16–20 SEER2 equipment can cut cooling costs by 30–50 %. New 95–98 % AFUE gas furnaces can save up to 20 % on winter heating bills compared to an 80 % model. Actual savings vary with home size, insulation, duct condition, and thermostat habits, but our energy modeling software gives you an estimate before installation.
Are financing options or utility rebates available for HVAC replacements in Lynchburg?
Yes. Precision Installation partners with several lenders to offer 0 % APR promotional financing and low-interest plans up to 120 months. Dominion Energy and AEP Virginia often provide rebates for ENERGY STAR® qualified heat pumps and smart thermostats, and manufacturers run seasonal cashback promotions. We handle all paperwork so you get every incentive available.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement, and who handles them?
The City of Lynchburg and surrounding counties require mechanical permits for system replacements and may mandate electrical or gas inspections. Precision Installation pulls all necessary permits before work starts, schedules the final inspection with the local code office, and is on site when inspectors arrive to ensure compliance. This service is included in your quoted price, so you don’t have to navigate the permitting process yourself.
