FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
You should consider replacement if the system is more than 12–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, no longer keeps temperatures consistent, or your energy bills have risen sharply. In many cases, the cost of major repairs (like a failed compressor or cracked heat exchanger) can exceed 40–50 % of the price of a new, high-efficiency system, making replacement the smarter long-term investment.
What size HVAC system is right for my Tracy City home?
Proper sizing depends on factors such as square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling height, and local climate data. During a free in-home consultation, our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact capacity (in BTUs or tons) your home requires. An accurately sized unit delivers better comfort, lower energy bills, and longer equipment life than a “rule-of-thumb” estimate.
How long does the HVAC replacement process take and what can I expect?
Most residential replacements in Tracy City can be completed in one day. We start by protecting floors and furnishings, then safely remove and recycle the old equipment. Next, we set the new condenser, air handler or furnace, modify duct connections, and recharge the system with refrigerant. Finally, we run a full performance test, show you how to use the thermostat, and clean the work area. You’ll have heating or cooling again before we leave.
Are high-efficiency HVAC units worth the investment?
Yes. Today’s ENERGY STAR® heat pumps and air conditioners often achieve SEER2 ratings of 15–20+, while furnaces reach AFUE ratings of 95 % or higher. Upgrading from a 10-SEER system to a 16-SEER model can cut cooling costs by roughly 35 %. Over the life of the equipment, these energy savings typically offset the higher purchase price, especially with the mild—but humid—summers and cool winters we experience in Tracy City.
Do you offer financing, rebates, or tax credits for HVAC replacement in Tracy City?
We partner with several lenders to provide low-interest financing and 0 % promotional plans (subject to credit approval). In addition, TVA EnergyRight® rebates may apply when you install qualifying heat pumps, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently offers up to a $2,000 tax credit on high-efficiency heat pumps and up to $600 on central A/C systems. Our comfort consultant will walk you through all available incentives before you decide.
What maintenance is required after installation and how does it affect my warranty?
Manufacturers require proof of annual professional maintenance to keep their 10- or 12-year parts warranties valid. We recommend joining our Preventive Maintenance Plan, which includes two seasonal tune-ups, filter changes, priority service, and discounted repairs. Regular maintenance keeps your new system running efficiently, reduces the chance of breakdowns, and protects your investment.
