FAQs
What makes an HVAC system “high-efficiency,” and what ratings should Seymour homeowners look for when replacing an older unit?
A high-efficiency system uses advanced compressors, variable-speed blowers, and smart controls to deliver the same or better comfort while consuming less energy. In Seymour you’ll typically see equipment labeled 16–20+ SEER2 for air conditioners and 90–98% AFUE for furnaces. Heat pumps are now rated in SEER2 plus HSPF2 (8.1 or higher is considered high-efficiency). Choosing a unit that meets or exceeds ENERGY STAR® specifications ensures lower utility costs and may qualify you for rebates.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills by upgrading to a high-efficiency heating and cooling system?
Savings vary with home size, duct condition, and usage habits, but most Seymour homeowners see 20–40 % lower electricity and natural-gas costs after replacing a 10–15-year-old system. For example, if your current annual HVAC bill is $1,800, you could save $360–$720 each year. Over the 15- to 20-year life of the equipment, that can offset a large share of the purchase price while reducing carbon emissions.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or local incentives available in Seymour for installing a high-efficiency HVAC system?
Yes. The federal Inflation Reduction Act offers up to a $2,000 tax credit for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and up to $600 for high-efficiency furnaces, coils, or central air systems. TVA’s EnergyRight program and Duke Energy Indiana (in Seymour’s service area) frequently provide $150–$400 per qualifying unit. Many manufacturers add instant rebates or extended warranty promotions during the spring and fall. We’ll help you assemble all paperwork so you receive every incentive you’re eligible for.
How long does a typical high-efficiency HVAC replacement take and will my home be without heating or cooling during the process?
Most standard residential replacements—including removal of the old equipment, setting the new indoor and outdoor units, reconnecting line sets, evacuating and charging the refrigerant, wiring the thermostat, and commissioning—are finished in one day. If duct modifications or electrical upgrades are needed, add another half to full day. Your home will be without heating or cooling only while the old system is disconnected, usually 3–6 hours, and we schedule replacements to minimize discomfort.
Can my existing ductwork handle a new high-efficiency system, or will it need to be upgraded?
High-efficiency equipment often moves air at different static pressures than older units, so a duct inspection is part of every estimate. We measure airflow, look for leaks, and verify return and supply sizes. In roughly 70 % of Seymour homes, the ductwork only needs sealing and minor balancing. If major resizing is required, we’ll explain the options and costs up front so the new system can reach its rated efficiency and comfort.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance does a new high-efficiency HVAC system require?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts limited warranty when the unit is registered within 60 days of installation, and many premium models include a lifetime heat-exchanger or compressor warranty. Our Seymour replacement packages add a 1-year labor warranty (extendable to 10 years) plus two seasonal tune-ups in the first year. After that, we recommend an annual maintenance plan that includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant charge, calibrating the thermostat, and inspecting safety controls—services that keep warranties intact and maintain peak efficiency.
