FAQs
What does it mean that your technicians are NATE-certified, and why is that important for my HVAC replacement?
NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is the gold standard for HVAC professionals. To earn it, technicians must pass rigorous, proctored exams that cover installation, service, and core system knowledge. Choosing NATE-certified techs means your new system will be sized, installed, and commissioned to manufacturer specifications, resulting in higher efficiency, fewer callbacks, and a longer equipment life. It also protects your factory warranty, because many manufacturers require certified installation for full coverage.
How can I tell if my heating and air conditioning system in Sequatchie needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Consider replacement when your unit is 10–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or can no longer keep your home comfortable without high energy bills. A load calculation and efficiency analysis by our NATE-certified technicians will clarify whether a repair makes sense or if a new high-efficiency heat pump or furnace/AC pair will save more money over time.
What is the typical cost of a complete HVAC replacement in Sequatchie, and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies with capacity, efficiency rating (SEER2/HSPF/AFUE), and accessories such as smart thermostats or indoor air quality add-ons. Most full replacements in Sequatchie fall between $7,000 and $14,000, including equipment, labor, permits, and haul-away. We partner with local credit unions and manufacturer finance programs to offer 0% or low-interest plans up to 120 months, along with easy online approvals so you can spread payments over time.
How long will the replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A straightforward split-system change-out usually takes one day. If duct repairs, line-set rerouting, or electrical upgrades are needed, the job may run 1½–2 days. We schedule work in mild-weather windows when possible, bring portable heaters or spot coolers if extreme temperatures are forecast, and never leave your home without at least temporary climate control overnight.
Are there energy rebates or tax credits available for new HVAC installations in Sequatchie County?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) EnergyRight rebates can provide $150–$400 for high-efficiency heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act deliver up to 30% of the installed cost—capped at $2,000—for qualifying heat pumps and up to $600 for advanced furnaces or central AC units. We file rebate paperwork for you and supply IRS Form 5695 documentation so you can claim eligible credits at tax time.
What kind of warranty and after-installation support do you provide?
Most of our featured brands include a 10-year parts warranty and up to a 12-year compressor warranty when registered within 60 days. We back that with a 2-year labor warranty at no additional cost and offer affordable maintenance plans that include bi-annual tune-ups, priority service, and filter reminders. All workmanship is 100% satisfaction-guaranteed—if any installation issue arises, we correct it at no charge.
