FAQs
What qualifies an air conditioning system as “high-efficiency”?
High-efficiency air conditioners generally carry a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) rating of 15.2 or higher, use variable-speed or two-stage compressors, and incorporate advanced coil designs and smart controls. These features allow the system to deliver more cooling with less electricity than standard 13.4-SEER2 units, lowering operating costs and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills in Seymour if I upgrade to a high-efficiency AC?
Savings vary by home size, insulation levels, and usage patterns, but most Seymour homeowners see 20-40 % lower summer electric bills after replacing a 10-15-year-old system with a new 16-18 SEER2 model. For an average 2,000-sq-ft home that spends $120 per month on summer cooling, that translates to roughly $300-$500 in annual savings, meaning the upgrade can pay for itself in 5-8 years.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or utility incentives available for high-efficiency installations in Seymour or Jackson County?
Yes. Duke Energy Indiana typically offers $200-$600 rebates for qualifying 15.2-SEER2 and higher systems. In addition, federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to 30 % of equipment cost (maximum $600 for AC and $2,000 for heat pumps) on ENERGY STAR® certified units installed through 2032. We handle all paperwork and will apply eligible incentives directly to your invoice whenever possible.
How long does a high-efficiency AC installation take, and will I be without cooling?
A straightforward replacement usually takes one full day: 3-4 hours to remove the old unit, 3-5 hours to set the new condenser, air handler/coil, line set, and thermostat, plus start-up testing. We schedule installations in the morning so you’re rarely without cooling overnight. If extensive duct modifications are needed, a second day may be required; in that case, we provide temporary cooling solutions at no extra charge.
Do high-efficiency air conditioners require special maintenance compared to standard units?
Routine tasks—filter changes every 1-3 months, yearly coil cleaning, condensate-drain flushing, and refrigerant checks—remain the same. However, variable-speed systems have advanced electronics that benefit from a professional tune-up each spring to update firmware, verify airflow settings, and calibrate sensors. Enrolling in our Comfort Care plan ensures these services are performed annually and preserves manufacturer warranties.
How is the right system size and SEER rating determined for my Seymour home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors square footage, insulation R-values, window type, orientation, occupancy, and local climate data for Seymour’s 92 °F design temperature. This calculation dictates the cooling capacity (tons) your home needs—preventing oversizing that wastes energy and undersizing that shortchanges comfort. Once capacity is set, we present high-efficiency options at multiple SEER2 tiers so you can balance upfront cost with long-term savings.
