FAQs
How do I know if it’s time to replace my HVAC unit in South Pittsburg rather than repair it?
Most systems need replacement when they are 12–15 years old, require frequent repairs, or can’t keep a consistent temperature even after tune-ups. Rising utility bills, loud operation, and the use of R-22 refrigerant (now phased out) are also strong indicators. A free onsite evaluation lets our technicians measure current performance, check refrigerant type, and compare repair costs with the long-term savings of a new high-efficiency system.
What is the average cost of a full HVAC replacement in the South Pittsburg area?
For a typical 2- to 3-ton heat-pump or gas split system, turnkey replacement—including equipment, labor, permits, disposal, and a new programmable thermostat—runs between $7,000 and $12,000. Variables include system size, SEER2/HSPF rating, ductwork condition, choice of accessories (humidifier, UV air purifier, zoning), and whether an electrical panel upgrade is required. We provide itemized proposals up front so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
How long does an HVAC replacement take from removal to startup?
Most residential projects are completed in a single day: 3–4 hours to remove the old air handler and condenser, 1–2 hours to set and connect the new equipment, and another 1–2 hours for pressure testing, evacuation, charging, and commissioning. If major duct or electrical work is needed, the job may extend to two days. We schedule city inspections promptly so your comfort is restored with minimal disruption.
Do I need a permit to replace my heating and air system in South Pittsburg, TN?
Yes. The City of South Pittsburg and Marion County require mechanical permits for any HVAC change-out. As a licensed and insured contractor, we handle the permit application, pay the fees, and coordinate the inspector’s visit. Final inspections verify proper refrigerant line sizing, electrical safety, and code-compliant condensate disposal—protecting your home and validating the manufacturer’s warranty.
What efficiency ratings should I look for, and will a new unit really lower my utility bills?
In Tennessee’s mixed-humidity climate, we recommend at least 15.2 SEER2 for air conditioners and 8.1 HSPF2 for heat pumps; furnaces should be 95 AFUE or higher. Upgrading from a 10 SEER unit to a 15.2 SEER2 can cut cooling costs by up to 35 %. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors further reduce energy use and improve comfort by running longer, quieter cycles. TVA and local power companies often offer rebates that amplify the savings.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance should I expect with a new system?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts warranty and a limited lifetime heat-exchanger warranty on qualifying furnaces when the system is registered within 60 days. Our workmanship warranty covers labor for the first year, with extended labor plans available. To keep warranties valid and efficiency high, schedule professional maintenance each spring and fall, replace 1-inch filters every 30–60 days, and keep the outdoor condenser free of leaves and grass clippings.
