FAQs
When should I replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in New Tazewell last 10–15 years. If your equipment is in that age range, needs frequent or costly repairs (such as a failed compressor or cracked heat exchanger), still uses discontinued R-22 refrigerant, or causes noticeably higher utility bills, replacement is usually the more economical choice. A modern, high-efficiency unit can cut energy use 20–40 %, making up the difference in operating savings while eliminating the stress of ongoing breakdowns.
How do I know what size HVAC system my home needs?
Correct sizing is determined by a Manual J load calculation, which factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling height, air leakage, and New Tazewell’s humid summer / cool winter climate. While a rough rule of thumb is 1 ton of cooling per 600–800 sq ft, every home is unique. Oversized equipment short-cycles and wastes energy; undersized units struggle to maintain comfort. Our certified technicians run a full load calculation before recommending the exact tonnage and BTU output you need.
How long does an HVAC replacement take?
For most like-for-like replacements, expect one full workday: 2–4 hours to remove the old equipment and prep the site, and 4–6 hours to set the new indoor coil, outdoor condenser/heat pump, and reconnect electrical and refrigerant lines. If ductwork modifications, line-set replacement, or a new thermostat and smart controls are added, the project can extend into a second day. We schedule inspections and city permits in advance so your downtime is minimal.
What efficiency ratings should I look for, and how will they affect my energy bills?
Cooling equipment is now rated under SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2). Tennessee’s minimum for split systems is 14.3 SEER2, but 16–18 SEER2 models provide noticeably lower monthly costs. Furnaces are rated by AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency); 80 % is standard, while 90–96 % AFUE furnaces reclaim more heat from exhaust gases, saving up to 30 % on heating fuel. Although higher ratings raise upfront price, they usually pay for themselves in 3–6 years through utility savings.
Are rebates or financing available for HVAC unit replacement in New Tazewell?
Yes. TVA EnergyRight offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. Manufacturers such as Trane, Carrier, and Lennox run seasonal rebates that can add $300–$1,200 in instant savings. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (25C) refund up to 30 % of the cost—capped at $600 for central ACs and $2,000 for heat pumps—when efficiency thresholds are met. We also provide 0 % to low-interest financing for 6–60 month terms so you can spread the investment over time.
How often will my new HVAC system need maintenance, and what warranty coverage will I receive?
Plan on professional maintenance twice a year—cooling tune-up in spring, heating tune-up in fall—to keep warranties valid and efficiency high. Homeowners should replace or clean air filters every 30–90 days, keep outdoor coils clear of debris, and ensure supply/return vents are unblocked. Most manufacturers offer a 10-year registered parts warranty; some models include lifetime compressor or heat-exchanger guarantees. Labor coverage is typically 1–2 years, with optional extended labor plans up to 10 years for added peace of mind.
