FAQs
When should I replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems last 10–15 years in the Sweetwater climate. If your unit is that age, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain temperature, or causes utility bills to spike, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. A new high-efficiency system can cut cooling costs by 20–40 %, pay for itself in energy savings, and eliminate the stress of unexpected breakdowns.
How long does a complete HVAC replacement take and will my home be without heating or cooling for days?
A standard change-out (equipment only, no major duct alterations) typically takes our certified technicians 6–10 hours, so most Sweetwater homeowners are back to normal comfort the same day. If ducts or electrical upgrades are needed, the job can extend to two days. We plan installations during mild weather when possible, bring all materials on the truck, and test the new system before leaving so you are never without heating or cooling overnight.
How do you determine the right size HVAC system for my Sweetwater home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation, which factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type, orientation, local weather data, occupancy, and internal heat gains. This scientific approach prevents over- or undersizing, which can cause humidity problems, short cycling, and higher energy bills. Once the load is known, we match it to equipment capacity, airflow requirements, and duct design to ensure optimal comfort and efficiency.
What does an HVAC replacement cost in Sweetwater and do you offer financing?
Prices generally range from $5,500 for a basic 14 SEER2 straight cool system to $12,000+ for a variable-speed heat pump with advanced air quality options. Factors include system type, efficiency rating, capacity, ductwork condition, and add-ons like smart thermostats. We partner with local lenders to provide low- or no-interest financing, accept major credit cards, and help customers apply for utility rebates and federal tax credits that can cut costs by hundreds of dollars.
Which efficiency ratings should I look for in a new HVAC unit?
For cooling, check the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2); the Sweetwater code minimum is 14.3 SEER2, but we recommend 16–18 SEER2 for the best balance of cost and savings. Heat pumps also have a Heating Seasonal Performance Factor 2 (HSPF2); aim for 8 HSPF2 or higher. Gas furnaces list AFUE; 95 % or above is high efficiency. ENERGY STAR certification verifies that the unit meets stringent performance guidelines and may qualify for additional rebates.
What warranties and after-installation support do you provide?
All systems come with a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty when registered, and we include a 1-year labor warranty covering workmanship. You can extend labor coverage to 10 years for a small fee. Our Comfort Club maintenance plan offers bi-annual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on filters and repairs, keeping your new investment running at peak efficiency while preserving the manufacturer warranty requirements.
