FAQs
What does “same-day HVAC replacement” mean for homeowners in Riceville?
If you call our office before 11:00 a.m. Monday–Saturday, we can remove your old heating and cooling system and install a new one that very same day—usually within 6–8 working hours. We keep the most common furnace, air-conditioner, and heat-pump sizes in stock at our nearby Athens warehouse, and we pre-pull permits with McMinn County when required, so there are no scheduling delays. Emergency evening and Sunday replacements are available for an additional fee.
How long will my home be without heating or cooling during the replacement process?
Most customers experience 3–5 hours of downtime. We begin by safely disconnecting power and refrigerant lines, then remove the old indoor and outdoor units. While the crew sets the new equipment and brazes in the refrigerant lines, we use temporary electric heaters or portable spot coolers (provided at no extra cost) to keep critical rooms comfortable. Once the vacuum test and pressure check are complete, we charge the system with refrigerant, reconnect power, test airflow, and you’re back to normal comfort the same day.
Which types and brands of HVAC systems do you replace in Riceville?
We service and replace gas furnaces, air handlers, central air conditioners, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, packaged rooftop units, and ductless mini-splits from all major brands—Trane, American Standard, Carrier, Bryant, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Ruud, Daikin, and Mitsubishi. Our comfort consultants size the new unit with ACCA Manual J calculations to ensure the correct BTU and SEER2 rating for your home’s square footage and insulation level.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement, and who handles them?
Yes. McMinn County and the City of Riceville require an electrical/mechanical permit for any equipment change-out, plus a final inspection after installation. Our office pulls the permit in your name, schedules the inspector, and emails you the permit number for your records. All permit and disposal fees are included in your written quote—there are no surprise add-ons later.
Are financing, rebates, or tax credits available for a new system?
Absolutely. We offer 0% APR financing for up to 60 months with approved credit through Synchrony and Wells Fargo. Through TVA EnergyRight, Riceville residents can currently receive rebates of $200–$400 for qualifying heat-pump upgrades. In addition, the 2023 Federal Energy-Efficiency Tax Credit (IRC 25C) allows you to claim up to 30 % of the project cost—max $2,000—on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps or up to $600 on high-efficiency air conditioners and furnaces. We handle the paperwork and provide the AHRI certificate you’ll need for your tax return.
What does a same-day HVAC replacement typically cost in Riceville?
Prices depend on system size, efficiency rating, and any duct or electrical upgrades. As a ballpark, a standard 2- to 3-ton 15.2 SEER2 split heat-pump system starts around $6,800 installed, while a high-efficiency 18–20 SEER2 variable-speed unit can range from $11,000 to $13,500. Packaged units and gas/electric hybrids fall in between. Every quote we provide is fixed-price and includes equipment, labor, permits, disposal, a full one-year labor warranty, and a 10-year parts warranty when the system is registered.
