FAQs
How can I tell if my HVAC system in Wartburg really needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
Age is the biggest indicator—heat pumps and air conditioners over 10–12 years or furnaces over 15–20 years usually warrant replacement. Other signs include rising electric bills, rooms that are hard to heat or cool, frequent refrigerant leaks or costly repairs (over 30 % of a new unit’s price), and the use of R-22 refrigerant, which is now phased out. Our technicians can perform a load calculation and cost-benefit analysis to confirm whether a precision installation will save you money long-term.
What is included in a precision installation HVAC replacement from your Wartburg team?
We start with a Manual J load calculation to size the new equipment correctly for your home’s square footage, insulation, windows, and local climate data for Wartburg. Next, we remove and recycle the old unit, pressure-test and flush refrigerant lines, upgrade electrical and drain components as needed, and install new pads, vibration isolators, and smart thermostat wiring. We finish by commissioning the system—verifying airflow, superheat/subcool targets, static pressure, and thermostat calibration—then provide you with performance and warranty documentation.
How long does a complete unit change-out usually take?
A straightforward change-out (condenser, air handler/furnace, and thermostat) in an easily accessible attic or crawl space normally takes one full working day (6–10 hours). More complex jobs—such as duct modifications, electrical panel upgrades, or the addition of indoor air-quality accessories—can extend the project to two days. We schedule inspections with Morgan County code officials in advance so final approval typically happens the same or next business day.
What factors affect the cost of an HVAC replacement in Wartburg?
Key variables include system capacity (measured in BTU or tons), efficiency ratings (SEER2, HSPF2, AFUE), equipment type (standard split, high-efficiency heat pump, dual-fuel), ductwork condition, and any ancillary items such as UV lights, media filters, or zoning. Local permitting fees, crane rentals for roof lifts, and potential insulation upgrades can also influence the bottom line. After an on-site assessment we provide a fixed written quote, so there are no surprises on installation day.
Will a new high-efficiency system really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner with a modern 16-SEER2 or higher unit can cut cooling costs by 30–40 %. For heating, heat pumps with 8–9 HSPF2 can halve winter electric usage compared with older strip-heat systems. We use actual weather data for Wartburg’s humid subtropical climate to estimate annual savings and provide a projected payback period, which typically ranges from 4 to 7 years depending on usage.
What warranties and financing options do you offer for replacements?
All manufacturers we carry (Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman) include a 10-year parts warranty when the equipment is registered within 60 days. We add a 1-year labor warranty at no charge and offer extended labor coverage up to 10 years. Financing through Synchrony or TVA EnergyRight loans is available with 0 % promotional APR terms up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval, making it easier to spread the investment over time.
