FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC system?
Most systems last 12–15 years. Warning signs include frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, rooms that never reach the set temperature, loud or unusual noises, and refrigerant that still uses the phased-out R-22 (Freon). If repair costs exceed roughly 40% of the price of a new unit—or if the unit is older than 12 years—replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment.
What size HVAC unit does my Powell home need?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, number and style of windows, ceiling height, duct condition, and even shade trees. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact BTU and SEER/AFUE requirements. An oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy, while an undersized unit will run constantly and still leave you uncomfortable.
How long does an HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heat or AC?
A standard change-out (replacing the indoor air handler/furnace and outdoor condenser) takes 4–8 hours. More complex projects—such as duct modifications, zoning, or adding an air purifier—may extend the job into a second day. You’ll be without heating or cooling only while the old equipment is removed and new components are wired, typically a few hours. We schedule installs so that critical downtime is minimal and restore power as quickly as safety allows.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Powell?
Yes. A high-efficiency unit (15 SEER2 or higher for cooling, 95%+ AFUE for gas furnaces, or ENERGY STAR-rated heat pumps) may qualify for: • Federal tax credits up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act • AEP Ohio and TVA rebates (if you’re in their service areas) that range from $150–$600 • Manufacturer rebates offered seasonally • Possible City of Powell permit fee reductions for ENERGY STAR homes. We’ll complete the paperwork and supply AHRI certificates so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
What warranties come with a new HVAC unit and installation?
Most leading brands include a 10-year limited parts warranty when the equipment is registered within 60 days of install. We add our own 1-year labor warranty, which can be extended to 10 years with a low-cost protection plan. Heat exchangers on furnaces often carry a separate 20-year or lifetime warranty. All warranties remain valid as long as you have proof of annual professional maintenance.
How much does HVAC replacement cost in Powell, and what financing options are available?
Prices vary by capacity and efficiency: a basic 14.3 SEER2 split system starts around $6,500 installed, while a variable-speed 18–20 SEER2 unit can exceed $12,000. Gas furnace change-outs typically range from $4,000 to $8,000. We provide written, line-item quotes so you can compare options. Financing is available through Wells Fargo Home Projects and Synchrony, with 0% APR for 18 months or low fixed payments up to 120 months (subject to credit approval). Utility bill savings often offset most of the monthly payment.
