FAQs
When should I consider replacing my heating and air-conditioning system in Old Fort?
Most systems in our climate last 12–15 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching that age, requires frequent repairs, or your energy bills are steadily rising, it’s usually more cost-effective to replace than to keep repairing. Modern equipment is up to 40% more efficient, so you’ll see lower utility costs and improved comfort right away.
How much does a full HVAC replacement typically cost in Old Fort?
Pricing depends on home size, system type (gas furnace & AC, heat pump, or dual-fuel), efficiency ratings, and any ductwork changes. Most projects range from $7,000–$15,000 installed, but high-efficiency or multi-zone setups can be higher. We provide a free, no-obligation in-home assessment so you get a firm, written quote tailored to your exact needs.
What size HVAC system do I need for my house?
Proper sizing is critical. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors square footage, insulation levels, window types, and even local weather data for Old Fort. Oversized units cycle on and off too often, wasting energy and wearing components prematurely, while undersized units can’t keep you comfortable. The load calculation ensures the new system is exactly right for your home.
Will a new system really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner from the early 2000s with today’s 16–20+ SEER models can cut cooling costs 30–50%. High-efficiency gas furnaces reach up to 98% AFUE, while modern heat pumps deliver efficient heating down to low outdoor temperatures. In addition, new thermostats and variable-speed blowers improve comfort and reduce energy use by matching output to real-time demand.
Do you offer financing or rebates for HVAC replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local utilities, manufacturers, and state programs to secure rebates that can save you hundreds of dollars. We also offer financing plans with low monthly payments and 0% interest promotional periods (on approved credit), allowing you to upgrade now and pay over time while enjoying immediate energy savings.
How long does the installation take and what can I expect on installation day?
A typical full system replacement takes one full day. Our certified technicians arrive promptly, lay down protective coverings, remove and recycle your old equipment, install the new system, and test for proper operation. They’ll review thermostat settings, maintenance requirements, and warranty registration before leaving your home as clean as they found it.
