FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my gas furnace or central air conditioner in Sale Creek?
Most systems are designed to last about 15–20 years. If your furnace or AC is in that age range, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep the set temperature, or causes noticeably higher utility bills, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. Our technicians offer free in-home assessments in Sale Creek to measure performance, inspect safety components, and compare repair vs. replacement costs so you can make an informed decision.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Sale Creek home, and how is it determined?
Proper sizing is based on a Manual J load calculation, which analyzes square footage, insulation values, window area, air leakage, orientation, and even local weather data for Sale Creek. Oversized equipment short-cycles and wastes energy, while undersized systems run constantly and still leave you uncomfortable. While many 2,000 ft² homes in our area use a 2.5–3 ton AC and a 60–80 kBTU furnace, every house is unique. We provide a written load calculation before quoting a replacement to guarantee the right capacity.
How long does a typical gas furnace and AC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard replacements in Sale Creek can be completed in one working day (about 6–8 hours). Complex jobs that need duct modifications or indoor air-quality add-ons may run into a second day. You’ll only be without heating or cooling during the actual change-out, usually 3–4 hours. We schedule installations when weather permits and can supply temporary space heaters or portable coolers on request.
Are there energy-efficient options that qualify for rebates or tax credits in Tennessee?
Yes. Replacing with a 95%+ AFUE gas furnace or a 16–20 SEER2 air conditioner can qualify for TVA EnergyRight rebates, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act provides tax credits up to $600 for high-efficiency furnaces and $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps. Many manufacturers add instant rebates during promotional periods. We stay on top of current incentives, complete the paperwork, and apply the rebate as an instant discount whenever possible.
How much does a complete furnace and air conditioner replacement typically cost in Sale Creek, and do you offer financing?
Prices vary with size, efficiency rating, brand, and any needed duct or vent upgrades. A typical 3-ton AC and 80 kBTU furnace package runs between $7,500 and $12,000 installed, including permits and a new smart thermostat. High-efficiency or variable-speed equipment costs more upfront but saves on energy. We offer several financing plans, including 0% APR for 12 months or low-monthly-payment options with approval, so you can spread the investment over time.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance should I expect after installation?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year limited parts warranty when the system is registered within 60 days. We include a 1-year labor warranty and offer affordable extended labor coverage up to 10 years. To keep warranties valid and maximize efficiency, schedule maintenance twice a year—once for heating, once for cooling. Our Comfort Club plan includes those tune-ups, priority service, and discounts on any future repairs, ensuring your new HVAC system in Sale Creek keeps running smoothly for years.
