FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit in Sequatchie?
Most HVAC systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep set temperatures, or causes unusually high utility bills, it’s probably more cost-effective to replace it. Sequatchie’s humid summers and chilly winters put extra strain on equipment, so local homeowners often see performance drop sooner if maintenance has been irregular. A professional load calculation and energy audit can confirm whether replacement will cut operating costs and improve comfort.
What high-efficiency HVAC systems do you offer for Sequatchie homes?
We install leading-edge equipment from top manufacturers, including variable-speed heat pumps (20–24 SEER2), dual-fuel hybrid systems for homes with propane back-up, inverter-driven air conditioners, and ENERGY STAR® gas furnaces with AFUE ratings up to 98%. Because Sequatchie sits in a mixed-climate zone, we match equipment to your home’s exact load so you get the best balance of cooling efficiency and cold-weather performance. Wi-Fi smart thermostats and air quality add-ons such as UV lights or high-MERV filtration can be integrated at installation.
What is the typical cost range for a complete HVAC replacement in Sequatchie County?
Pricing depends on system type, capacity, ductwork condition, and efficiency level, but most full replacements fall between $7,500 and $13,500 for a standard 3-ton split system, including removal of the old unit, new indoor coil or air handler, outdoor condenser/heat pump, thermostat, and basic duct adjustments. High-end variable-capacity or dual-fuel systems can reach $15,000–$18,000. We provide up-front written estimates, financing options with low APRs, and a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s parts warranty.
How long does a standard HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
A straightforward replacement usually takes one full day (6–10 hours). Our crew removes the existing equipment, sets the new unit, re-charges refrigerant, calibrates airflow, and tests the whole system before leaving. You’ll be without heating or cooling only during the middle portion of that day. For complex jobs involving duct redesign or electrical upgrades, the project may extend to two days; we schedule work to minimize downtime and can provide temporary heaters or portable AC units if necessary.
Are there any local rebates or tax incentives for installing energy-efficient HVAC equipment in Sequatchie?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offers EnergyRight rebates—currently $150–$400 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act allow up to 30% of the installed cost (capped at $2,000) for heat pumps meeting the highest CEE tier. Certain gas furnaces qualify for a 30% credit up to $600. We handle all rebate paperwork, provide AHRI certificates, and guide you through any Sequatchie County permit requirements so you receive every possible incentive.
How can I maintain my new HVAC unit to maximize its lifespan and efficiency?
Change or clean filters every 30–90 days, keep outdoor coils clear of leaves and debris, and schedule professional tune-ups each spring and fall. Our Comfort Club plan includes biannual inspections, priority service, and discounts on repairs. Also maintain proper thermostat settings (78°F cooling, 68°F heating when home), seal air leaks around doors and windows, and ensure vents are unblocked for balanced airflow. Documented maintenance preserves manufacturer warranties and can extend system life well beyond the average 15 years.
