FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
If your system is more than 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, struggles to maintain temperature, or causes energy bills to spike, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another major repair. In Mulberry’s hot, humid climate, an aging unit has to work harder and often uses outdated refrigerant (R-22) that is no longer manufactured. A free in-home evaluation from our technicians will confirm whether repair or replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
What size and efficiency rating HVAC system is best for homes in Mulberry?
Proper sizing is critical: an undersized unit runs nonstop while an oversized unit short-cycles and creates humidity problems. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation, window orientation, and occupancy. For efficiency, we typically recommend heat pumps or AC units rated 15–18 SEER2 and furnaces that are 90%+ AFUE. This balance delivers lower monthly bills while qualifying for most utility rebates available in Polk County.
How long does an HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most residential replacements in Mulberry can be completed in a single day. We remove the old equipment, set the new indoor and outdoor units, connect refrigerant lines, upgrade the thermostat, evacuate and charge the system, then run a full performance test. Your home may be without cooling or heating for 4–8 hours, and we schedule installations first thing in the morning to minimize discomfort.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for a new HVAC system?
Yes. Duke Energy and TECO often provide $150–$400 per qualifying high-efficiency heat pump or air conditioner. The federal Inflation Reduction Act extends a 30% tax credit (up to $2,000) for ENERGY STAR heat pumps installed in 2024. We also partner with lenders that offer 0% interest for 12 months or low fixed-rate plans up to 120 months, allowing you to spread the cost over manageable payments.
What is included in your HVAC replacement service, and do you handle permits and disposal?
Our turnkey service covers everything: a load calculation, equipment selection, city permit application, removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, new pad or hanging platform, refrigerant line flush or replacement, electrical upgrades, condensate management, start-up commissioning, and registration of factory warranties. We schedule the Mulberry building inspector and meet them on-site so you don’t have to worry about paperwork.
How much should I budget for a complete heating & air conditioning replacement, and what warranties are provided?
In Mulberry, a typical 3-ton heat pump or split AC/gas furnace replacement ranges from $6,500 to $11,000, depending on SEER2 rating, ductwork modifications, and indoor air quality accessories. All systems we install include a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, with optional 10-year labor coverage or preventative maintenance agreements for continued peace of mind.
