FAQs
How can I tell that it’s time to replace my central air HVAC unit in Morristown?
Most systems last 12–15 years in Morristown’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters. Replace when you notice frequent breakdowns, rising utility bills, uneven temperatures, or if your current unit still uses R-22 refrigerant (now phased out). A professional load calculation can confirm whether repair or replacement is the better long-term value.
What determines the price of a new central air system replacement?
Cost is driven by (1) the tonnage and SEER2 rating your home requires, (2) brand and model, (3) whether ductwork, electrical service, or thermostat upgrades are needed, (4) indoor-air-quality add-ons such as air purifiers or humidifiers, and (5) available manufacturer or utility rebates. In Morristown, full replacements typically range from $6,000–$12,000, but we provide a firm written quote after an on-site assessment.
How long will an HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
Once you approve the proposal, equipment usually arrives within 3–5 business days. The actual removal of the old unit and installation of the new one is normally completed in one working day. Morristown’s building department then performs a final inspection within 24–72 hours, so most homeowners are fully up and running in under a week.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Morristown, and who handles them?
Yes. Morristown requires a mechanical permit and, if electrical work is involved, an electrical permit. Our team completes all paperwork, pays the fees, schedules the inspections, and is on-site to meet the inspector. You simply receive the signed approval for your records and to keep your warranty valid.
Will a high-efficiency unit really lower my energy bills in Morristown’s climate?
Absolutely. Replacing a 10-SEER system with a 17-SEER2 or higher unit can reduce cooling costs by up to 40%. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors run at the exact speed needed, improving dehumidification during muggy summers and cutting power consumption in milder spring and fall weather. Local utilities often offer rebates that shorten the payback period even more.
What kind of warranty and maintenance coverage comes with a new installation?
Most leading manufacturers include 10-year parts and compressor warranties when the unit is registered within 60 days. We add a one-year labor warranty, with optional extended labor coverage up to 10 years. Enrolling in our Comfort Club provides bi-annual tune-ups, priority service, discounted repairs, and keeps the manufacturer warranty in force by documenting regular maintenance.
