FAQs
When should I replace rather than repair my gas furnace or central air conditioner?
Consider replacement when the equipment is 15 years or older, needs frequent or costly repairs, has a cracked heat exchanger or leaking A-coil, still uses R-22 refrigerant, or causes noticeably higher utility bills. Because Morristown winters dip into the teens and summers are humid, reliability is critical; an aging system is more likely to fail during extreme weather. Upgrading also brings higher efficiency (up to 96% AFUE and 16–18 SEER2), lower operating costs, and modern comfort features such as variable-speed blowers.
How do I know what size HVAC unit my Morristown home needs?
Proper sizing requires a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window area, orientation, and local design temperatures (14 °F winter, 89 °F summer for Morristown). Bigger is not better—oversized units short-cycle, waste energy, and reduce humidity control, while undersized systems run constantly and wear out early. During a free in-home estimate we measure your home, inspect ductwork, and recommend the correct BTU and tonnage to keep every room comfortable year-round.
How long does a furnace and AC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most straight change-outs take one full working day. We start by safely removing the old furnace, coil, and condenser, then install the new equipment, run new refrigerant lines, pressure-test and evacuate the system, connect the thermostat, and perform a full startup and commissioning. You will typically be without heating or cooling for 4–8 hours. For complex jobs involving duct revisions or indoor air-quality add-ons, plan on two days. We schedule installations to minimize downtime and can supply temporary heaters or window units if needed.
Are there rebates or tax credits for high-efficiency HVAC replacements in Morristown?
Yes. The New Jersey Clean Energy Program offers rebates up to $500 for ENERGY STAR gas furnaces (95%+ AFUE) and up to $1,000 for ultra-high-efficiency AC or heat pump units. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $600 for a qualifying furnace and $2,000 for a high-efficiency heat pump or central AC installed after Jan 1, 2023. Local utilities such as JCP&L and PSE&G may add $50–$200 per system, and 0% interest loans up to $15,000 are available through the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program. We handle all paperwork so you receive every dollar you qualify for.
What does a complete gas furnace and air-conditioning replacement cost in the Morristown area?
Prices vary with size, efficiency, and any duct or electrical upgrades. A typical 80% AFUE furnace and 14 SEER2 AC for a 2,000 sq ft home runs $7,000–$9,000 installed. A 96% AFUE furnace paired with a 17 SEER2 two-stage condenser can range from $9,500 to $13,000. Variables include coil type, thermostat selection, filter cabinets, permits, and access to attic or crawl spaces. We provide written, no-pressure quotes, explain all options, and offer financing plans from 0% for 18 months to low-APR five-year terms.
What warranties and maintenance requirements come with a new HVAC system?
Most major manufacturers offer 10-year parts and 20-year to lifetime heat-exchanger warranties when the system is registered within 60 days. Our installations include a one-year labor warranty that can be extended to 10 years. To keep warranties valid, you must have professional maintenance once per year: a fall furnace tune-up and a spring AC check. We offer affordable service agreements that include both visits, priority scheduling, and discounts on filters and repairs. Homeowners should also replace or clean air filters every 1–3 months to ensure peak efficiency and indoor air quality.
