FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit in Speedwell?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep rising, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another major fix. Speedwell’s humid summers and chilly winters put extra stress on equipment, so diminished airflow, uneven temperatures, loud operation, or refrigerant leaks are all signs it’s time for a new system.
Why is it important to use certified HVAC technicians for a replacement?
Certified technicians have up-to-date training on load calculations, refrigerant handling, electrical safety, and local Speedwell building codes. They size equipment correctly, install it to manufacturer specifications, and register the warranty on your behalf. This protects you from safety hazards, voided warranties, and costly efficiency losses caused by improper installation.
How long does a typical HVAC unit replacement take?
Most standard change-outs are completed in one day: 2–3 hours to remove the old system, 3–5 hours to install the new equipment, and roughly an hour for start-up testing and homeowner orientation. If new ductwork, electrical upgrades, or indoor air-quality add-ons are needed, the project can extend to two days. We schedule replacements at your convenience and restore heating or cooling the same day whenever possible.
What size HVAC unit do I need for my home?
Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window types, orientation, occupancy, and the specific climate data for Speedwell. Oversized units short-cycle, waste energy, and reduce comfort, while undersized equipment struggles to keep up. After the load calculation we recommend the properly sized BTU capacity and SEER/AFUE rating, then review brand options that meet your comfort goals and budget.
Are there rebates or financing options available for HVAC replacements in Speedwell?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and local utilities often offer rebates for ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners. Manufacturer seasonal promotions can add up to $1,200 in instant savings. We also partner with lenders that provide 0% APR financing for 12–18 months or low monthly payment plans up to 120 months. Our office handles all rebate paperwork to ensure you get every available dollar back.
How do I maintain my new HVAC system once it’s installed?
Replace or wash filters every 30–90 days, keep outdoor condenser coils free of leaves and debris, and maintain a clear 24-inch radius around the unit for airflow. Schedule professional maintenance with our Speedwell team twice a year—cooling tune-up in spring, heating tune-up in fall. We inspect electrical components, clean coils, test refrigerant charge, and calibrate the thermostat to keep your new system efficient and covered by its warranty.
